Listen Later

Our first post-centennial episode comes with an introduction to an absolute classic in the anime sphere, originating all the way back in 1987, with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. We start with Parts 1 and 2 for this week's episode, following the stoic Jonathan Joestar in Phantom Blood as he faces off against the evil Dio, and then continuing with his grandson Joseph in Battle Tendency as he fights the Pillar Men, named after cool American bands! The show's reputation precedes it, as Iris and Michael discover just how deep this rabbit hole goes, but beyond how crazy the narrative gets, there's aspects of horror, comedy, drama, and Speedwagon packed into these two short seasons. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.
