Next month (April 2016), a brand new season of the
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure anime will begin! So what
better time to talk about the classic series & what makes it
tick. And who better to talk about it with than my friend &
Jojo superfan Zee, as well as special surprise guest, Jason
Thompson! Jason is not only a JJBA fan, he’s the editor of Viz’s
English release of Stardust Crusaders! Listen as we talk
about the many influences of Hirohiko Araki, what went on during
Viz’s Stardust Crusaders manga release, and how right now is
one of the best times to jump into this 30 year old
franchise.

And literally JUST after I finished editing this episode, Viz
Media announced they will be streaming the new part 4: Diamond
is Unbreakable anime! They also have gotten the rights for the
previous seasons, so they’ll also be streaming those soon, and
possibly re-releasing them in much better DVD releases than
the one WB released, so hopefully we’ll get more details
soon!
