However, it seems that after many JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fans doubted that their shows live–action film as well, changed their opinions after watching it.

予想外にちゃんとジョジョしてて熱くなれるし面白かった。
実写化でこれなら大成功なんじゃないか?
久し振りに三池監督本気出したな。 pic.twitter.com/iAjDnR5lMw
“I went to see the live-action Jojo! Unexpectedly, Jojo was done right, you’re able to get pumped up, and it was a good time. For a live-action adaptation, if that’s the case, then this is a success, no? It’s the first time in a while that director Miike gave it his all,” said another fan.
わああああ神木きゅん可愛かったよ〜☆。.:*・゜

“Waaaaaan…Ryunosuke Kamiki was cute! I had always watched the anime, so it seemed abundantly interesting. The ending hints of a sequel and I want to see the next one at a sneak preview. Ahhhh, I dig Kamiki,” said another eager fan.
With that said now, many JoJo fans are already demanding a sequel after the movie hinted that there will be one coming soon. This uproar for a sequel or a plethora of good reviews usually doesn’t happen when an anime is recreated as a live-action production. However, this time is different, with JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fans praising the recent work of Miike.
