Where To Watch JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
The JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime is available to watch on multiple online streaming platforms, depending on your region. You can watch the anime on the following platforms:
- Netflix
- Crunchyroll
- Hulu
- Amazon Prime Video
- Viz Media
- Tubi
You can also watch the anime via physical media purchases, which include Blu-ray and DVD. Watching on Blu-ray or DVD allows you to enjoy the series without relying on a subscription. It is undoubtedly the go-to choice for collectors or die-hard fans who want to experience the series offline. That said, you should always check the availability for these physical media purchase options, since the content can vary based on licensing agreements as well.
Should You Reorder the Parts or Watch in Order?
For new viewers, it is highly recommended that you watch the parts in the order in which they were released. Each part follows a new descendant of the Joestar bloodline and introduces new characters who follow the protagonist on their journey. While the majority of the parts may feel somewhat standalone, especially Golden Wind, each of them is connected to the overarching narrative. There are important plotlines and callbacks in each of these parts, which makes watching them in order all the more rewarding.
Dio’s eternal hatred for and rivalry against generations of the Joestar bloodline is central to the series. As such, skipping certain parts or reordering them will just cause confusion about recurring characters or references for you.
The majority of the anime community deems Stardust Crusaders (Part 3) the most accessible entry point for new viewers due to its overwhelming popularity over the other parts. That said, watching from Phantom Blood (Part 1) offers a more complete and comprehensive understanding of the bitter rivalry between Dio and the Joestars, which is the focal point of the narrative.
Is the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Manga still ongoing?
Hirohiko Araki’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga is still ongoing to this day. The manga is currently in its 9th part, titled The JOJOLands, which began serialization in February 2023. It has released 18 chapters till now, with the 19th chapter yet to release.
The JOJOLands takes place in the alternate universe, which was first introduced in Steel Ball Run and JoJolion. The narrative follows Jodio Joestar, a young teenager in Hawaii whose dream is to become rich. However, Jodio and his older brother, Dragona, are thrown into the deadly world of crime and adventure after getting involved in a diamond heist, where they encounter dangerous Stand Users and uncover bizarre secrets.
So far, the anime has adapted only 6 parts, with Stone Ocean being the most recent. Despite speculations, there are no official announcements regarding the anime adaptations of Parts 7 and 8—Steel Ball Run and JoJolion. Fans are highly anticipating these two parts, given that their events take place in an alternate universe following the universe reset, which took place in Stone Ocean. Therefore, it’s easy to see why fans cannot help but feel restless to dive into the bizarre world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure once again, with new protagonists and more unique Stands.
