Stardust Crusaders (Anime)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 スターダストクルセイダース) is season two of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure TV Anime, produced by David Production.

Summary
The first two seasons of the anime, including Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency and Stardust Crusaders, were greenlit simultaneously in 2011. Due to the success of the first season in 2012, David Production immediately began work on animating the second season, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, with pre-production starting as early as July 2013.

The second season of the anime was announced in the #47, 2013 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump on October 16, 2013, with the first episode airing on April 4, 2014 and the last episode airing on June 19, 2015. The second season of the anime adapts the third part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders, and spans 48 episodes with the latter half titled. The first 24 episodes cover the trip from Japan to Egypt and aired from April to September 2014. The second half covers the Egypt arcs and aired from January to June 2015. The anime later received a third season, covering the fourth part of the series, Diamond is Unbreakable, which was announced on October 24, 2015 and began airing on April 1, 2016.

Media distribution service Crunchyroll has obtained the streaming license for the anime with the English Dubbed Version only used on July 5–6, 2014 at Midnight to 1:30am (EST), which can be viewed on their website. On July 2, 2017, it was confirmed that the English dub would run on Adult Swim's Toonami block. It did so from July 29, 2017 to August 11, 2018, followed immediately by an English dub for the anime adaptation of Diamond is Unbreakable.
