What is JOJODay?
If you want a breakdown of this major anime event, here’s how Warner Bros Japan describes JOJODay, “On April 12, Warner Bros. Japan will host JOJODAY STAGE, the special fan festival connecting the past and future of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure animation series. For the first time in nearly six years, this special live audience event will feature an incredible lineup of guests! Joining us on stage are voice actors Kazuyuki Okitsu (voice as Jonathan Joestar), Daisuke Ono (voice as Jotaro Kujo), Junichi Suwabe (voice as Leone Abbacchio), and Fairouz Ai (voice as Jolyne Cujoh) along with JO☆STARS, the trio behind the iconic opening themes of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure animation series.”
“Additionally, special video appearances have been confirmed from Tomokazu
Sugita (voice as Joseph Joestar), Yuki Ono (voice as Josuke Higashikata), and
Kensho Ono (voice as Giorno Giovanna). And a comedian Kendo Kobayashi will
serve as the MC, bringing fans a must-see stage event that transcends generations of the series alongside the star-studded voice cast and theme song artists.”
The Steel Ball Run Explained
Should JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure continue to follow its source material, the next anime season will be Steel Ball Run, as the story of Johnny Joestar took place following Jolyne Cujoh’s departure. Often referred to by Joestar fans as one of best entries of the series, the seventh storyline focuses on a horserace across the United States in the past, where the winner will receive their greatest desire. Not only is the series jam-packed with Stand battles, but said battles often take place on horseback throughout.
As of the writing of this article, we aren’t sure as to whether or not David Production will be making a comeback. The production house has been with the series since Phantom Blood kicked off but this doesn’t mean it will be tied to the Joestars forever. Fingers crossed that David will once again make a comeback to animate what is considered one of the best Joestar stories of all time, horses and all.
