JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Confirms Netflix Release Date
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean has confirmed when it will begin streaming with Netflix! Following the end of the fifth season of the series, Golden Wind, fans were eagerly awaiting the news that the series would be continuing with a sixth season taking on the fan favorite Stone Ocean arc from Hirohiko Araki's original manga series. Thankfully it was confirmed that not only is Stone Ocean going to be making its anime debut soon, it will be exclusively streaming worldwide with Netflix. All we needed after that was the official start date.
During a special presentation for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean as part of Netflix Japan 2021, it was announced by the three leading stars of the series that Stone Ocean will begin streaming with Netflix on December 1st. Netflix confirmed shortly after announcing the date that Stone Ocean will be launching with its very first 12 episodes (an entire cour of the series in standard anime schedule talk), so that will give fans quite a lot to chew on with this premiere.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean features a returning staff of heavy hitters from previous iterations of the anime, and will include a cast with the likes of Ai Fairouz as Jolyne, Mutsumi Tamura as Ermes Costello, Mariya Ise as F.F., Atsumi Tanezaki as Emporio Alnino, Yuichiro Umehara as Weather Report, Daisuke Namikawa as Narciso Anasui, and the returning Daisuke Ono as Jotaro Kujo. Netflix officially describes JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean as such:
