What happens when one family’s destiny stretches across generations, continents, art styles, and more fashion statements than the runway at Milan? JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a monumental saga of courage, legacy, and creative brilliance — reinventing itself with every part. From Jonathan’s noble heart to Jotaro’s stoic cool, Joseph’s chaotic genius, Giorno’s golden ambition, Jolyne’s relentless fire, and beyond, JoJo blends action, philosophy, and flamboyant style into a genre all its own.

Stunning visuals, unforgettable poses, insane powers, and emotional storytelling make JoJo a foundational pillar of modern anime.

This episode sees Brendan White joined by Harry Kalogirou from Press Start in the Riverside Studio to share their thoughts on Hirohiko Araki and David Production's 2012 supernatural fantasy adventure, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
