Oh,that would be cool if it were true.

But I do not think they would be able to fit the entire DiU into 39 episodes.

I guess the second series would have like...2 cours?

Since I heard Part 4 is a bit longer than Part 3, that might be the case. Hopefully that's the case lol.

How are they gonna fill the 4th season in just 39 episodes? Even the ending of 3rd season was rushed and it's much shorter than the 4th season. I hope they don't cut out some funny moments which is considered as a filler.

Stardust Crusaders is 152 chapter and Diamond is Unbreakable is 174 chapters.

The difference is not really that big.

If they really were to split the adaptation into 3 cours and then 2 cours,they could have it neatly done without rushing it.

They can't possibly be thinking of doing the whole series in 39 episodes right? From what I've seen most people say, 52 episodes would be the right amount. I guess I'll wait for another source.

39 is a huge number, but unless they aim for longer episodes I don't think they'll be able to fit all the 170+ chapters in just 39 episodes.

They should just go with 2 cours of 24-26 episodes like in Part 3.

If the entire part is 39 episodes that guarantees either cut content or terrible pacing. I hope this isn't true.

Although I don't see them cutting much since they pretty much showed every villain already between the concept art and the silhouettes in the first PV. So if they don't cut anything and it's really 39 episodes, we're looking at an entire series with the broken pacing of some DIO's World episodes.

Are you people serious? quantity is not a good thing here, I don't know why you are asking for more. Someone even said 60 lol.

It's proven by part 3 that having a full faithful adaption isn't a great thing.

I rather have fast pacing, than have the Italian restaurant being done in 2 episodes. 39 eps is more than enough. Better pacing, better production values, better potential for sales, better chance for future adaptation due to less resources being spend by DavidP.

No, Part 3 proved that faithfulness is important.

It completely destroyed the OVA by doing what it did.

Well, I hope they do 174 episodes for 174 chapters just for the sake of more JoJo lol, I wouldn't mind it having One Piece treatment. Tho I know rarely people love JoJo as much as I do so in actual reality I think around 65 episodes would be awesome. [5 cours of 13]. If they do it in 3 cours, it will be insanely fast-paced and will have skipped content as they would have to do 4,5 chapters/episode.

If I'm not mistaken, in the first season 5/6 chapters were often covered in a single episode and that never felt rushed to me, so I'd be honestly down for that. I'm no manga reader, but aren't JoJo chapters often low in content anyways?
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

If they adapt the whole thing, that would be 4,6 chapters per episode. Stardust Crusaders had a pacing of 3 chapters per episode and even that felt a little rushed in the final episodes.

To each his own. Part 3 was a turtle, and half of it wasn't worth watching for me.

And they shouldn't adapt the whole thing faithfully, cutting some things would improve it, along with speeding up some portions over others.

They are. Not just because they are in a weekly magazine but since Jojo isn't story focused, sometimes not a lot happens in 1 chapter.

One of the reasons that part 4 is better than 3 is because of the slice of life aspect, and less repetitive nature, as there is no end goal from the beginning that is cluttered with so many episodic fights.

Made a simulation list of episodes.
- If a story arc had 5 chapters or less, I gave it 1 episode.
- If a story arc had exactly 5 chapters, but had one or two individual chapters after, I combined them and gave them 2 episodes.
- If a story arc had more than 5 chapters, I gave it 2 or 3 episodes.

It's worth noting that Crunchyroll had 48 episodes listed, before it took the number of episodes down.

That's still too short.

39 or 48, it'll still cover the whole series. I'm confident it would work OK in 39 anyway considering how part 3 only filled out the episode count by stretching what needn't have been stretched, and that way we won't have bullshit like Let's Go Eat Italian, or Let's go Hunting part 2.

I don't think any arcs will get completely cut either considering the 1st PV pretty much confirmed them all.

Yeah, the odds of Part 4 being only 39 episodes long is extremely unlikely. Even if you cut down on the two-parter episodes, each chapter of DiU is much more content rich than SC. There'd be way too much content lost if DP adapted it that way and frankly it doesn't seem to be their style.

I'd say that it's likely they'd cap the series at 48 episodes again, but I'd like to see 52 episodes overall (split into two 26 episode halves) to maximise on content. The highest I could see the episode count reaching would be 56, with anything over that just being ludicrous and detrimental to pacing.

Overall, Part 3 was pretty decently paced at four cours, and Part 4 is about twenty chapters longer, so I don't see how they can reasonably make it only three cours without cutting a ton.

I really wished that it was a four cour anime but oh well. They can maybe have a second season with a two more cours (though that'll drag it out a little). Unlike Part 3, Part 4 is much more consistent with its content (so far since I'm still reading it) so I don't want parts to be cut out.

Hopefully it will be 48 episodes since 39 isn't enough to properly adapt it imo. Crunchyroll could have made a mistake, but I hope they didn't.

Stardust Crusaders was at first revealed to only be 24 episodes, until it was later unveiled to go on "for a full year" until the break was announced.

Part 4 could totally fit in 39episodes, they did D'Arby the Player in about 2 episodes when then fight is about 11 chapters.

I do hope it will be three season's, with all three being around 39 episodes.
This will be better to lay out the story for everyone, and it won't hurt the pacing at all.

Also, really dope how it at the moment has a average score of 9.14, without having even one episode, the hype is real!!!

it'll be awkward but they could do a split cour where they adapt 39 episodes then the final 11 episodes, ushio to tora did 2 cour then is doing 1 cour after a small break.
