I have a feeling that Stone Ocean will be that dark horse JoJo adaptation It serves as the finale of the original JoJo storyline and the build up of the prior Joestar/Dio feud. The first 12 episodes of Stone Ocean follow the manga pretty religiously, with 50 chapters being condensed into the currently aired episodes so far. When in prison, Jolyne gets a mysterious package from her Father Jotaro and ends up being pierced spilling blood Moments later she awakens her powers as a stand user just like her Father. unbeknownst to Jolyne, she was framed and convicted as the person behind the murder and is sentenced to 15 years in Green Dolphin Street Jail in conjunction with She finds herself a victim of crime after her boyfriend fatally wounds a pedestrian while driving one rainy evening, trying to cover up the scene Jolyne helps her boyfriend hide the body in the trunk of her car. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean - The fifth season of JJBA anime and the 6th installment of the franchise follows Jolyne Kuujou, the daughter of Jotaro Kuujou - the prequels main character (Part 3/4). The only things I miss, are JoJo fridays and I pray that we will get them back. One of the few anime series, that brings you sheer excitement in every episode, due to its formula.
Nothing has changed, it's still good, old JoJo. Pucci, our main villain, is introcuded really early, and I hope this will help flesh out his character much more than in the case of the part 5 villain, Diavolo. It's nice to see Araki finally being able to give female characters an important role in the story. Even though we've spent so little time with them, I've already fallen in love with Weather Report, Foo Fighters, and Hermes. Part 6 has probably my favourite set of side characters. Jolyne is like a fusion of the previous main characters, she can be calm and collected like Jotaro, flamboyant like Giorno, or similarly to Joseph, really fun to be around. All these creative and distorted sound effects that wouldn't work in other series, seem to perfectly match the nature of Stands in this part.įinally, we got a female JoJo, and she couldn't have been a better character. Just in 12 episodes, we've already got a few top tier OSTs.Īs for the Stand sound design, it was as beautiful as always. Yuugo Kanno, who did soundtrack for previous parts (3-5), hasn't disappointed in this one too. Kudos to them, for bringing CGI openings back.
and there, and color palette changes were used as in previous parts, so if you're willing to look past weird looking faces and CGI in a few scenes, it shouldn't hinder your enjoyment in the slightest.Īlso, the opening is probably one of the prettiest looking one I've ever seen. However, there are some moments of sakuga animation here I still think it looked good for something with such complicated characters designs, but after we got the absolutely beautiful looking part 5, Stone Ocean feels kinda bland in comparison. Although previous parts started off kinda slow, part 6 really jumped to the gun in just the first few episodes, which was honestly a breath of fresh air.
Similarly to previous parts, we got a fight with enemy stand user every 1-2 episodes.
It feels pretty weird reviewing JoJo after only 12 episodes, but here we go.
