As a lifelong anime enthusiast who has followed the Joestars through their bizarre adventures since the days of Stardust Crusaders, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and concern regarding Netflix’s handling of Stone Ocean. On one hand, it was thrilling to see Jolyne Cujoh’s story unfold on such a widely accessible platform. However, the delayed release schedule and the loss of the beloved “Jojo Fridays” community event left many fans, including myself, feeling somewhat let down.


When JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure debuted on Netflix with Stone Ocean, it seemed as though a golden era had dawned for the Joestar family. The arrival of this female-centric story on such a prominent streaming service as an exclusive led anime enthusiasts to believe that Netflix finally recognized the franchise’s popularity. However, Stone Ocean‘s release faced numerous issues, as reported by fans, offering valuable lessons for the platform to consider. If Netflix intends to continue chronicling the Joestars through a potential new season, here are some suggestions for them to keep in mind.

If you haven’t yet delved into the world of “Stone Ocean”, now’s your chance as the entire season is streaming on Netflix! This could be an ideal moment to get acquainted with Jolyne Cujoh’s story. Jolyne shares a connection with the previous seasons not only because she’s a Joestar but also due to being the daughter of Jotaro Kujo. You might remember Jotaro from “Stardust Crusaders”, where he defeated the villainous Dio Brando, and as a supporting character in “Diamond is Unbreakable”. His Stand, Star Platinum, is one of the most powerful, but even he finds himself in trouble and it’s his daughter who comes to his rescue.

JoJo’s Bizarre Mistakes

It appears that the issue with Netflix exclusively airing JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure stemmed primarily from the release schedule of the anime adaptation. Initially, Jolyne’s story was introduced as a thirteen-episode block at the start of the television season. However, this might have been acceptable initially, the significant delays between the three blocks on Netflix left viewers puzzled and wondering about the events in the anime that had transpired months earlier on the streaming service.

In the course of the anime series “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”, a beloved tradition among fans emerged. The episodes were regularly released every week, with new installments premiering on Fridays that fondly became known as “JoJo Fridays”. However, due to Netflix adopting a more ‘block’ release strategy, these shared experiences were discontinued. Fortunately, Netflix has shown improvement in releasing anime episodes weekly, so if JoJo returns, there’s a chance “JoJo Fridays” could make a comeback as well.

Steel Ball Run Cannot Fail

Ever since “Stone Ocean” concluded, it’s been the longest gap between seasons for “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.” This lengthy break has sparked curiosity among anime enthusiasts, leading them to speculate whether David Production might be covertly developing “Steel Ball Run” as the next installment of the anime series. Many Joestar fans hold the tale of Johnny Joestar and Diego Brando in high regard, regarding it as one of the franchise’s finest stories so far. To ensure a successful debut, “Steel Ball Run” requires ample time to simmer and fully develop its potential impact.

Ensuring that the comeback of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure shines brightly also involves effective marketing. A key challenge for Stone Ocean, something Steel Ball Run should carefully address, is keeping anime enthusiasts informed about when new episodes will be released. Although this wasn’t a significant problem during the initial season, subsequent blocks often caught many off guard. Given its status as one of the most influential anime franchises, it’s crucial to handle JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure with the respect it deserves.
