| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Rather entertaining series indeed. I thought the 2000 prequel had a pretty average start, but great last episodes (it introduced Polnareff!), while this 1993 series was freaking exciting the whole time, maybe I liked it so much because I watched the prequel first and so I knew and cared for the characters (And that last episode... phew). What I really liked about this whole series was how every character had a very unique personality and ability and how their "stands" were so distinct with such unique powers. Taking into consideration the knowledge and interest I got from the prequel, this one gets an 8. Even if the prequel got a 7, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure as whole (anime form) gets a 8. I don't read manga, don't find it appealing, but I'm seriously thinking in reading Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, I really found it interesting. |

| Not a bad adaptation, wish it was a TV series but what can you do. 8/10 |

Tuzo said: Not a bad adaptation, wish it was a TV series but what can you do. 8/10 Yeah, especially considering just how huge the Jojo franchise is. As for the OVA, I liked it a lot. Giving it an 8/10. |
| They should have brought Kakyouin back to life with Dio's blood :/ Or it wasn't possible? But I also enjoyed this OVA series a lot, fights were great. |
 |
| Well, at least the final battle was well adapted. Looking forward to see what David Production does with this. I hope they adapt this. |

| I actually thought this and the 2000 OVA's were actually pretty good. I'm hoping this gets a remake by David Production. |
| I'm sure there are people who have read the manga. Can you, please, tell me whether or not this is the end of the Jojo story? Is there material for another season that would take place after Dio's death (if Dio really died, that is)? |

Is there material for another season that would take place after Dio's death (if Dio really died, that is)? This isn't anywhere near the end of Jojo. This was just the third part of a series that is on a currently running eighth part. Trust me, there is more than enough material for other anime seasons. |

Keep in mind, though, that this part will probably be adapted as well in the next season. But, since so much was cut out and, since David Productions seems to have a much better feel for the series and it's strengths, it'll probably be much better done all around. |

| That was a pretty good ending, I liked it how it ends and starting from the 2012 version to then get here was actually quite nice, I didn't really liked the 2000 version to much as the setting and pace wasn't all to good but this last part sure was nice and ended the story off pretty well! If there ever would be a remake of these chapters I'm sure to watch it as the story is quite epic! |
 |
| well it was a fun ride,though that was probably the lamest asspull i've ever seen |
 |
| nice ending, but something doesn't make sense. Shouldn't recieving Dio's blood have turned Joseph into a vampire like it did with Vanilla Ice? Cant' wait to see a TV series version of this, here's hoping the music will be better and the over-the-topness will be cranked up! |
| Love and Peace!!! |
| I thought it was good, but this adaptation was too serious and missing some of the comedic elements from the manga 7/10 |
 |
| Can't wait until the current anime gets to animate this final clash. Not bad for a 6 episode OVA considering how much content is in PT. 3 |
| Fuck it. Every signature I upload ends up removed anyways. |
| No mention of Weird Al Yankovich in this adaptation. 0/10 Sub-bar adaptation overall, but man that ending theme was good |
 |
| The first three episodes were lot more interesting than the last three but the ova is still worth checking out. It definitely got me interested reading the manga at some point. |
| Lets get right to the point, yes overall the tv anime was way better in pretty much every way, but for a time when there was no other animated version of JoJo, this OVA series is perfectly serviceable and also very enjoyable. I just can't think of one justifiable reason for changing the steamroller into an oil truck though, it's a bigger mystery than Dio's stand. Speaking of DIO, while I stand by my statement that Koyasu was born to be dio, the guy who did ova dio (Nobuo Tanaka, I looked him up ) also did an good job, and I really liked his ZA WARUDO and MUDA MUDA MUDA |
  |
| Well I thought it was fairly enjoyable overall. I heard there were changes which is the main reason I watched it, but there were less than I was expecting. It is ironic though that by trying to remove some of the campier elements, it ended up more campy, and not in the usual fun Jojo way |
 |
| loved the OVAs and fight between joutarou and dio. Even though this was my first time watching jojo i never caught what the were really fighting about and the entire story. Anyway i will watch jojo no kimyou na bouken 2012. 8/10. |

| The ending music was meh. That fight tho, Dio totally got his ass handed to him for making Gohan... I mean Jotaro angry. Would a blood transplant with Dio's blood be possible to bring Kakyoin back or would that have been impossible? |
| Great ending. Loved the antique Walkman at the end! |
 |
on 
| Fun OVA and great adaptation of the battle with Dio. There was a lot I didn't like, but at least the final fight with Dio was spectacular; easily worth watching the OVA for alone. |
| Really enjoyed this OVA. Stardust Crusaders was a bit of a drag to read sometimes and the best part of it really is the final battle. So whilst this isn't a complete story, I really like it for what it is. This last episode especially had great animation and I overall enjoyed the visual style of the OVA even when it differed from the manga. |
| I'll be honest, I wasn't too keen on this version of the fight. Obviously there's still good things about it, in particular the final blow was done better here, with there bodies transforming into their Stands as it connects, that was really cool. I also do really like how they altered the breathing/Polnareff moment to allow Jotaro and Polnareff a moment to chat before continuing the fight. The OVA itself has done a good job of trying to squeeze in as much character interactions in the limited time allotted to them, I enjoyed getting that exchange. Even though the manga thing is funner, I did like Jotaro surviving the knife attacks being because of that brace thing he made for himself last episode, and also in the last episode they made sure to show the knives DIO used on him, I appreciate that they seeded these things in earlier. And the animation was great obviously, with some pretty gnarly moments with the gore. But otherwise, meh. The Road Roller was better than the Oil Tanker but I understand they changed it to facilitate the giant explosion though personally I find Jotaro appearing behind DIO on top of the Road Roller to be more bad-ass then him walking out of the explosion, since it shows Jotaro having a lot more movement during the whole time freeze thing. But beyond that, removing the double bluff with the magnet in favour of Star Platinum just being able to move without Jotaro's knowledge at first was far worse. The double bluff with the magnet is probably my favourite moment from this fight because it's the most clever use of the time powers, the best moment of subterfuge in the fight and it's replaced with something just designed to get straight into the action. Which is what this OVA version has, much more over the top action where boats and building tops are being thrown around. The stuff looks cool but it's nowhere near as exciting. For starters, it reduces the impact of the Oil Tanker, since unlike the Road Roller in the original or TV series, it's no longer the most over the top feat in the fight, it's the standard. And secondly, there's no strategy involved at any point during these sequences, it's just a bunch of over the top action. Beyond the fight, I did really like the scenes at the end. Weird Al would've made it better but I wasn't expecting it to be in anyway. Really loved the OST during the farewell scene at the airport, music was kinda sparse/un-noteworthy during this OVA run, but there were a few times the tracks stood out to me here. Overall, this OVA was alright, definitely stronger in it's first half for me, which is something I'm surprised at. 6/10 for me, there's definitely merit to this adaption and I'm glad I watched it but too many of the changes were for the worse. |
| well it was an OVA but still it was quite good. Really enjoyed it. RIP Avdol, Iggi, Kayokin. That hug at last was touching. |
 |
| Woah the final battle disappoint, dio is merciless, gonna watch the prequel now since am watching as per the release date, 7/10 |
| Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora! Star Platinum vs The World! The WURRRLDO! Toki wa tomatta. The World punches Jotaro. Jotaro survived? The WURRRLDO! Dat punch. Star Platinum blocked it? DIO gets sent flying. LMAO at Jotaro banging his head into the pole. DIO took out knives. Muda da! The WURRRLDO! And that was the end. Great ending. This OVA was amazing. Since the 2000's, I've seen DIO vs Jotaro on YouTube, but never watched the OVA in full. Thanks to the 30th anniversary, I corrected that. I see why DIO is one of the scariest villains of the 90's and Tanaka played a huge part. I love how Tanaka says The WURRRLDO! Tanaka was born to voice DIO. Kosugi was amazing as Jotaro. You can see why OnoD was chosen to voice him in the TV version. The music was great, especially intro. Crazy that DIO used his weak leg to kick Jotaro. It's a shame majority of the seiyuu have passed away. RIP Legends. |

| A very good adaptation of the manga, even though there are many original scenes. |
