This article is about the 1993 and 2000 OVA series. For the 2014 anime adaptation, see Stardust Crusaders.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken), also known as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 第3部 スターダストクルセイダーズ, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Dai San Bu Sutādasuto Kuruseidāzu), is an OVA adaptation of Stardust Crusaders produced by A.P.P.P.

The original six-episode series, published from November 1993 to November 1994, begins at the ""The Fool" Iggy and "Geb" N'Doul" arc, with the Joestar Group in the Egyptian desert on their quest to find DIO. The series offers very little exposition, assuming the viewer is already familiar with the backstory and first half of Stardust Crusaders. A prequel seven-episode series was released from May 2000 to January 2002, beginning from the start of the part and abridging its first half to form a complete adventure. Between August and October 2002, the original six-episode series was re-released featuring newly remixed audio tracks with a remastered soundtrack and sound effects.

Super Techno Arts published an English dub of the 2000 series from 2003 to early 2004 before putting the publication on indefinite hiatus, eventually releasing a dub for the 1993 series throughout the latter half of 2005.

Scene List


Controversy

Main article: A.P.P.P.
Shueisha Apology
DIO reading the Quran
Mosque removed

In May 2008, both A.P.P.P. and Shueisha halted OVA/manga shipments of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure after a complaint had been launched against them from an Egyptian cleric, after noticing a scene in the OVAs that had the villain, DIO, reading a book depicting pages from the Qur'an.[2] This recall affected the English-language release of the manga as well, causing VIZ Media and Shueisha to cease publication for a year. Even though the manga did not feature that specific scene, Shueisha had Araki redraw scenes that depicted characters fighting on top of, and destroying, mosques.[2] VIZ resumed publication a year later, with the 11th volume being published on April 7, 2009, though distribution of the OVA had been permanently canceled.[3]

The controversy was such that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs addressed the issue in an official report about this incident.

Trivia

  • During the production of the 2000 OVA, A.P.P.P. considered using traditional cel animation like the 1993 OVA before ultimately settling for digital color in the final version. Early footage of the first episode before the switch to digital color can be seen in the promotional VHS tape The Making of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which was distributed by Super Techno Arts at English-language events.
  • N'Doul's French voice actor, Emmanuel Gradi, would later voice Kars in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation.
