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!
