A fourth season, covering Vento Aureo, aired in Japan from 2018 to 2019. A fifth season covering Stone Ocean began airing in 2022.
The media distribution service Crunchyroll obtained the streaming licenses for seasons 1-4 of the anime, with the fifth season streaming exclusively on Netflix. On July 21, 2016, it was revealed that the English dub had been scheduled to air on Adult Swim's Toonami block in October.[1] The season premiered on October 15, 2016 and ended its run on April 15, 2017.

Re-Edited
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Re-Edited (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 総集編 JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Sōshūhen) is a highlight compilation of the first season that condenses all 26 episodes into three movie-like features. The first volume (approx. 105 minutes) highlights the events of Phantom Blood, while the last two contain Battle Tendency.
This re-telling of the TV anime omits several scenes but includes newly-recorded narration to help piece together the story. Several sound effects have also been replaced or updated. The collection also includes multiple discs containing all 35 interviews of JOJOraDIO, a web radio program hosted by Yoji Ueda.

Trivia
- The key art used for the first part of the anime, featuring Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando, is based on the cover used for the first volume of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. The cover was also used for the series debut in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
- Compared to future seasons, the Blu-Ray Disc versions of only season 1 are streamed on Crunchyroll. This is likely due to the website obtaining the license well after the anime finished airing, contrasting with the hour-delay upload schedules of succeeding parts.
- Producer Hisataka Kasama appointed two directors for the series: Naokatsu Tsuda and Kenichi Suzuki, which is unusual for an anime. It is because Kasama felt that it would be difficult for one person to adapt Hirohiko Araki's work and so he chose Tsuda because he was "a good comedic director" and Suzuki was a "good action director". Naokatsu Tsuda says that if he had been asked to direct the anime by himself, then he might have refused, but he felt reassured to have a partner for this role.[2]
