The TV anime Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure began broadcasting on Oct. 7, 2012 and it has become overwhelmingly popular. Recently, Part 1 of the anime, titled “Phantom Blood”, ended in a grand finale as an intense battle unfolded between Jonathan Joestar and Dio.
Starting in December, Part 2 of the anime, titled “Battle Tendency”, began airing. Part 2 takes place 49 years after the events of Part 1 and follows Jonathan’s grandson, Joseph Joestar. The opening theme for Part 2 is “Bloody Stream” by Coda. The voice actor for Joseph is Tomokazu Sugita, who is well-known for his roles in anime such as Gintama and The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.
On Dec. 6, 2012, before the start of Part 2, Bandai Channel aired a free marathon of all nine episodes from Part 1. The marathon was a great opportunity for those who missed Part 1 the first time to catch up on it before the start of Part 2, as well as for those who just wanted to savor Part 1 once more. As part of the marathon, the PV for Part 2 was also shown for the first time.
Don’t miss a second of the much anticipated Part 2, which is now airing!
