Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - How often do you watch?
Hello, my beautiful friends! Thanks for coming again! Today I am going to talk about an Anime called Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure!
Jonathan Joestar is a boy of a noble family who grows up to become a gentleman. His life becomes a living hell when by his debt of the past. The young Jojo must then protect his family, there is a great rivalry that gains sinister and supernatural contours.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (Jojo no kimyou na bouken) excels in driving a simple plot with unique features. As the rivalry between Dio and Jonathan grows, both develop.
As well-known as a battle shonen, Jojo manages to surprise by reinventing himself with each new release while maintaining his unique style that can't be compared to anything. As much as he is 30 years old, the manga took more than 20 years to receive a tv adaptation that lived up to the original material. The franchise began to enter the current anime world with the first season released in 2012 adapting part one and two of the manga.
Well-animated, exciting manga adaptations, art, and voice acting! The openings and closures are beautifully executed with their songs. This is undoubtedly JoJo's differential mark. And its unique color style, character look, fantastic music, and distinctive poses and stands make this anime a tremendous work of art.
References to pop culture, western fashion, and smart fights that get you on-screen. Jojo has a great cast of characters who always innovate with each new part, the context, and in the plot!
About the Manga!
If there is a manga that is underrated and everyone should know, this is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Series is a kind of legend among the Japanese comic world.
The manga was a reference for creations that marked the Japanese pop culture as Knights of the Zodiac, Pokémon, Shaman King, and many others. Even in games, it is possible to see the influence of the Joestar family saga. In this first volume, we know the insane story of Jonathan, the only heir to the Joestar, a notorious family of the British aristocracy. He led a quiet life until the arrival of the "invader" Dio Brando makes everything a living hell. Dio beats and humiliates Jonathan every day, even kissing his childhood sweetheart. Jojo’s is a work known worldwide for the plot and especially for the strange poses that his characters assume throughout the story. If there's an anime that everyone should know about, it's JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. The recommendation follows not just a personal taste, but the number of things that this series was responsible for creating in the Japanese animation world.
Did you know that Knights of the Zodiac, Pokémon and even Shaman King were inspired by JoJo’s? Even in games, its influence is seen, as in Street Fighter. If you like action, Beat 'em up and adventure, follow the list! JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure created trends. One of the series deals with Stands, mystical beings who obey their masters as monsters trained to fight other Stands. If that reminds you of Shaman King, Pokémon or any different concept of “character-fighting monster,” then know that this is where it came from - more or less. The original manga is from 1987 and already has over 120 volumes in its original publications. The Stands come from the so-called “Part 3” Stardust Crusaders, which debuted in 1989, and changed the anime world as we knew it back then. Not to mention the look of some characters from Street Fighter and The King of Fighters, who left here.
JoJo's was born in the 1980s, but his story begins in the 1930s. Throughout the parts of the anime, the years move forward, even though the mid-1990s. The animation is newer, created in the 2000s, so he blends right classic elements of the world with well-crafted scenes. It is a perfect mix of old anime with new techniques. Imagine if the very first Dragon Ball or Knights of the Zodiac were created today from scratch. And speaking of music ... There are a lot of characters, stands and even scams that are named in songs, bands, groups, singers - usually representing good old rock's roll. The great villain in the series, for example, is called Dio. There is a Stand known as Killer Queen in Part 4 of the anime. Other character names and stands seen throughout the series are Dire and Straits, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, AC / DC, Wham and Santana. It's fun to follow and discover new references for each chapter. The notorious “To Be Continued” meme, where the scene stops at a dramatic moment and is just an arrow with the words written in the corner of the screen was born in JoJo’s.
In fact, it's how each episode of the series ends, just with the frozen scene and "To Be Continued" down there. In the early seasons, this sequence was accompanied by YES's Roundabout song, the same song you hear in memes. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is the creation of designer Hirohiko Araki, who has even received awards worldwide. Araki is so careful when it comes to creating characters that she replicates real pieces of clothing found inexpensive brand catalogs to make them look stylish. It is a work that was masterfully transported to the small screens, in the adaptation of the anime that was created by the studio David Productions. The famous poses, which have also become memes on the Internet, are the creation of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. For some reason, when he created the manga, Araki invented that his characters like to pose before and during fights - perhaps to demonstrate all their elegance in clothing.
Because of this, everywhere we see heroes and villains performing bizarre but really stylish poses. It makes you want to imitate and pose like this in every photo. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a brawling manga. There is history, there is character development, and there are moments of excitement. It is a perfect product of the 'shounen' genre of the 1980s, with a lot of action. The fights are well portrayed in the anime. The most exciting thing, however, is that they always offer unique and unusual solutions for the good guys to win. It works better seeing than explaining, but creativity goes to alarming levels here. Also, like all 80s manga, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is not lacking in humor. The jokes are well placed, and the characters have their "silly" moments - all of them without exception. This also merges with the creative battles, poses and even the To Be Continued at the end. JoJo's is an excellent anime to entertain you and also to make you laugh.
Araki's most crucial talent in JoJo's creation was character building, which translates into anime with very charismatic heroes and villains. It's impossible not to sympathize with the central figures and to hate the crudest villains we've ever seen in Japanese animation. Jonathan Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Joseph Joestar, and many others make the story even better than it already is. Well, continuing with the analysis, I think it's important to say that the protagonist has been maturing throughout history. He goes from being an immature and roguish young man to being a responsible and playful young man. Which is cool because even with the character changing, he still retains characteristics that are his strong point, and that gives him great charisma. It is also important to point out that the highlight of the whole arch is Joseph Joestar. As he beat most of the characters, we see in anime, as his strengths are his irreverence and wit (not goodness and honor as we see in most cases). He is a strong, muscular guy - gifted with a natural talent for using Hamon. But he also uses a lot of creativity and strategy to win his fights.
After defeating two of the three main villains. The incredible fight with Wham in which Joseph “avenges” the defeat and death of his mate in an honorable clash. In which what was supposed to be a lousy villain turns out to be a worthy opponent. Not of hate but of deep respect, Joseph finds himself facing Kars - who cowards Lisa Lisa - having to defeat the great villain of story - now transformed into the "perfect being" after making use of the Stone Mask - using all the best of it: trickery, Joestar's "special technique" and that only the best characters have, pure "luck". Looks like the spell turned against the wizard. That inconsequential young man became an honorable man! Before finishing the review, I also say that there is a fascinating story that links Joseph's past. A character presented throughout the plot, which is very good. The development of global conflicts and the background of the protagonists. Caesar also has this development, in which we know his past beliefs and goals better. More details about this I consider a spoiler that would spoil the experience of you seeing and enjoying the unfolding of these stories, so let you check them out in the anime.And that's how Joseph Joestar's wild and bizarre adventure ends. The ending is cliché but good - I won't tell you anything else so as not to give spoilers that would spoil the enjoyment of such an ”epic conclusion.
