This is the story of the Joestar family, and their battles against bizarre enemies. Jonathan Joestar's battle against the vampire Dio Brando starts it all, and it continues into roughly each second generation of Joestars through all parts of the story.

It was an excelent start, greatly exceded my expectation.

I sure hope they'll adapt battle tendency too, this series has 26 planned episodes, and in the first one they covered 5 chapters of 47 chapters manga, so it seems this is gonna be fairly fast paced. My prediction will be 12 ep. for Phantom Blood and 14 for Battle Tendency.

I loved it. Dio's voice is great. The animation is smooth and respects the weirdness of the manga. The ending is so freaking catchy that I cannot get it out of my head...

I need to try this anime. With all the Moe anime and other new anime shows, this show's art style is unique when it's all old school.

This week episode introduce us the OP, while i'm getting accustomed to the 3D CG, the direction, character design closer to the manga and the epic song make up for it.

As for the episode, we got to see how the realtionship between Dio and Jojo is progressing after the time skip. All in all was a good episode, with steady pacing. The first volume is done adapting, now onto the Humanity Rejection that everyone is waiting for! :)

@Petiew Yeah the Ending is awesome and the moment when the first chords are played i thought "is this over already?" but then we got the prologue acoustic part of the song, to finish off the episode in this awesome tone with Dio and Jojo meeting the house. Also loved that they changed the ED presentation a bit too, maybe they'll change it every other episode to match the developments. This said i really think they couldn't choose a better song for the ending.

Man, this 3rd episode is so fucking Epic, i knew they would be making something jawdroping for this fight scene but it blew me away all the same, it was almost perfect. Now let's get some Zeppeli and more Speedwagon reaction faces and off time interferences :P

@shels:

Thank you! I put your recommendation for Jojo's Bizarre Adventures.

is this being stream by any website, such as Crunchyroll or Funimation?

Also, I CANNOT wait for Stardust Crusaders. Wait, was that even planned? Shit gets insane with Stands

It would be great if at least 6 parts were animated but for the moment i'm more than happy with just the 2. Phantom Blood despite the animation quality, has been such a fun ride, can't wait for the most awesome JoJo of all to be animated.

I hoping tht every part is as badass as the first part... Johnathan is so badass
