Kinda expected this to happen but good none the less. I'll be watching since i liked the old 90's ovas.

For those who have yet read the manga, please be aware that you might be spoiled in this thread. We suggest you to discuss the anime in the spoiler free thread.

The biggest question for me is which serie are they going to animate. Because i don't think they are going to animate all of them.

I guess they will either animate the first part or the more recent arcs.

The first arc was pretty boring compared to the 3rd and the later parts, eventhough it does tell the origin story of the Joestars vs Dio.

I think it will be a full on remake of the franchice starting at the begining of the manga though i'm most curious who will be animating this.

It's possible that they going to animate all of the series (eventhough it will be an extremely long and costly project) , made more likely because the trailer of recently announced fighting game has characters in it from all of series except the most current one.

The teaser for the TV anime shows every single character from the 8 parts so far, and the title is just "JoJo's Bizarre Adventures THE ANIMATION". The teaser ends with Jonathan Joestar going "SUNLIGHT YELLOW OVERDRIVE!" so it confirms that they'll be starting with Phantom Blood.

Animation and art resemble toei a lot so i guess their the ones possibly animating this.

I didn't think too much of that first teaser because it also shows jojolion, a story that has recently started (in a monthly magazine). It's possible that they are also going to animate that, because it will take quite a few years before the anime will catch up to that story but i have some doubts because "Steel ball run" took 7 years to finish

this is popular enough to be a long runnning series, so it could be that.

I don't care which arc they are going to animate because they are all awesome, I only wish for quality animation and storyboarding that follows the original manga closely.

And the PS3 game looks pretty fabulous so far, I'd get it.

ZA WARUDOOOOOOOOOO

I hope at the very least we can get to Stardust Crusader arc ;__;
We already get OVA for some few part of it but still...

And for anyone that don't know about JoJo, its might be the best battle manga ever. The fight not just about strength but the combatant using tactic and brain to defeat their opposition (for both ally and villain side)

The weakest combatant can defeat/makes problem the strongest in this series.

Figured Shaman King would be the next JUMP franchise to get rebooted, but this is cool. Never seen Jojo before and was always kinda interested so this is a good chance to check it out. While it most likely is Toei doing it, I kinda hope not since it would almost never come stateside if it was them...not that I expect it to but still. Hopefully it'll at least get simulcast by someone.

HELL YES!

After that Phantom blood movie fiasco (what the hell happened to that?), I thought this would never happen. It would be beyond amazing if they animated all the parts.

It sounded like Daisuke Namikawa yelling "Sunlight Yellow Overdrive" in the trailer. He'd be a fine choice for Jonathan. I'm more interested in who will voice Dio though.

Supposedly it was only intended for a limited theatrical run that bombed pretty badly so i guess a dvd/blu ray release was canned because of that. And yeah they need to get someone awesome to do dio :heh: .

Thinking on it now...maybe...Pierrot's doing it. That Rock Lee spinoff doesn't have a lot of source material to work with so I could see it being over by fall, and so that timeslot would be open. Are any of Toei's shows ending around fall? I know SS Omega is supposed to be 50 episodes so that slot couldn't be taken if Toei does this.

If pierrots doing jojo then all is lost. Its possible toriko is ending since their catching up to the manga really fast. SS omega has been rumored to be 26 episodes and then have another 26 episodes some time afterwards so if its true it can take SS's slot.

Sounds interesting. I haven't read the manga but the general opinion is good, so I am looking forward to it.

Oh and its airing this october? Nice:D

Ah. Well I guess we'll see how it goes. Since there's a lot of source material to work with I'm sure it'll fine no matter who does it.

Samw as me too. Haven't read it but I understand the hype around it as I do remember hearing about it but never got to reading it. Just hope a good studio grabs this.
