| Lol, I would have looked at this film, If there show WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! |
 |
JoJo adapted to live-action? Well, at least it will be bizarre without any doubt :p |
 |
| Finally an anime life action adaptation I actually look forward to! I hope the movie contains a lot of fabulous posing :) |
| Bizzare news indeed. One of the least series I would have imagined to see as a live action. |
 |
| I expect beefy men in the live-action. |
| I'll give this a shot :o Hopefully at the end of the movie, they'll announce another season. |
 |
| so will the stands be cgi or ppl in costumes |
| Well that was unexpected. I honestly don't know how to feel about this. While I'm happy that JoJo is getting more recognition it deserves I'm also afraid that it will turn out to be shit. But as long as they have beefy men fighting I'm happy with it. |
| JoJo bizzare adaption. I mean seriously? but well, whatever, might give it a try. |
| Hilarious how they picked Part 4 because it's the cheapest to make, the whole story taking in place in a Japanese town and all. Plus they don't need to hire foreigners for specific roles, they can do all with just Japanese actors. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Kento Yamazaki for Josuke... Really... I mean Josuke doesn't look very manly but come on... Anyway, I hope to do not wreck this one. Jojo fans are already mad few years back when they decided to cast him. |
| WHY THE FUCK THIS KENTO GUY AGAIN ?!!! |

There will always be tall men around but good actors is another story. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Sounds interesting to me. Can't wait to see grandpa Joseph and adult Jotaro in action. |

"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| I think it will likely be shit but we can hold out hope |
| Your next line is "I was just pretending to be retarded". |
| damn Kento Yamazaki... back at it again... Honestly,, is there no other actor? Like please let this kento fad die down and let other actors shine =_= |
| lol they picked part 4 so they wouldn't get bad reception when they ruin part 1-3's manly cast XD |
 |
| I saw this news last night and wondered why they were skipping parts 1-3, but then I remembered this one actually takes place in a small Japanese town so it would be super easy for them to do this one. It would have been pretty funny to see how they would have handled Avdol though. I doubt they'd actually find a Japanese-speaking Egyptian dude, so I bet they would have used special effects to make the actor's skin look like Avdol's. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Wow First Bleach then Gintama and Now Jojo..Like whats up next (I mean as in Shounen Jump manga btw) |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Bleh,I will wait for a Part 5's anime announcement. |

| are there manly men in Japan ? |
| Seunghoon my sunflower |
| Is this on top of the previously teased Stardust Crusaders one or replacing it? Either way... yech. |
| I'm afraid to see a low quality Shining Diamond or any Stand for that matter. I could imagine the budget being so bad that they don't even use CGI for the Stands, just people in costumes punching one another with an edited aura around them. |
 |
| Don't touch Rohan. |

Verumouth said: are there manly men in Japan ? nah, but I guess that's why they're adapting Part 4 first, since that was when JoJo got slimmer and more metrosexual Still isn't gonna look right, since Koichi's actor isn't a twelve year old. |

You're right, it would be pretty epic if it was like that. I'll watch it to see if I can get a laugh or two out of it. No matter how cheesy this film ends up being, given that it's Jojos I'm bound to like something of it. |

They had to adapt part 5 if they were looking for a slimmer JoJo , even tho Josuke has less abs he still got that badass look (sorry for my bad english btw) |

Plus well-known Japanese actors often get cast for main roles to get non-anime fans to watch as well, even when not necessarily right for the role, such as Tatsuya Fujiwara in Kaiji live-action. Guessing Part 4 got adapted first because the anime is airing right now, as the same practice has been done for other series, like Assassination Classroom live-action films airing close to the airing of their anime series. |

| Not sure if hyped or scared. This will be amusing no doubt |
 The peasant is bound by the king. The king is bound by the peasants and their kingdom. But the Viking is bound to nothing but themselves. |
HueyLion said: saiki is on the way btw... so they actually have 4 (how about death note? not following it)Wow First Bleach then Gintama and Now Jojo..Like whats up next (I mean as in Shounen Jump manga btw) |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| For Morioh they chose the town Sitges in Spain. Stupid as hell, as expected from the terraformars film director. |
|
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY cringefest inc we don't need anymore jojo memes , also 4 instead of 7? what a fucking joke atleast we'd get a steel ball run in anything besides manga because there is no way in hell there is gonna be a part 7 anime |

| my only issue with this is the main actor, that's all. There seems to be quite a budget in this one so I'm a little interested even though I never got into this manga I lol'ed at ppl wanting beefy casts when the characters's body and face traits themselves are too unrealistic for asian people |
MoaMahriMatoro said: Tiramisu said: The more cringy the Stands are, the more fun we have. Can't wait to watch this masterpiece. I can only imagine the cgi on some of them. Also I wonder how much if DIU they will actually adapt... I can only hope its the gud kind cringy. Ayone else think we might end up with something like power rangers? |

StefanHere said: atleast we'd get a steel ball run in anything besides manga because there is no way in hell there is gonna be a part 7 anime I fail to see your logic in this, the DavidPro anime series have sold very well for such a long running, non-pandering series. There has been at least two JoJo cours every year since its start in 2012, at this rate I don't see why it's unlikely to be adapted. |

David Pro only responsible for the animation production, they didn't have to think jack shit about budgeting, all they need to do is to animate it and then got paid, that's it. . It will stop when it didn't sell anymore, not because they don't have any budget left. |
