Interview:Anime Expo (July 2016)

Hirohiko Araki's video message from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure panel at  2016 on July 1, 2016.

Interview
Hello everybody! I'm Hirohiko Araki, the creator of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I'm extremely honored and happy that all of you are able to enjoy JoJo's in the United States, whether it's the animation, or the print publication. I'm sure there are many of you who are in attendance today. Please enjoy your time here. I am the creator who has been writing/drawing the manga. I hope I'm able to find some time to visit the United States and meet you all. Thank you very much.

San Diago? San Diego? I'd like to go. Is the weather nice? Oh, it's Los Angeles. I'd love to visit Los Angeles. Weather must be nice this season. This might be the perfect season to watch JoJo's!

The tall(er) person at this venue (with you all) is, the former editor of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable", who I worked with to create the manga at Shueisha. The shorter folk is 'Sekki' who took over for Sasaki-San to work with me on "Diamond is Unbreakable". Unfortunately, I'm not able to make the trip to Los Angeles this time around, so I'm leaving it up to these two. They are very trustworthy and I'm sure they can keep you guys entertained. Enjoy!
