[[File:JoJo-Index.png|200px|thumb]]<br />
In the first volume of the first chapter of the Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel, the narration references ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' when it compared the atmosphere in Kamijou Touma's room after he destroyed Index's clothing as when a [[Stand]] user has used its attack on someone.<br />
*In New Testament Volume 5, a mysterious character by the name of Fräulein Kreutune is introduced. The illustrator, Haimura Kiyotaka, comments on how she reminds him of the [[Pillar Men]] from ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure''.<br />

In the series, there is a restaurant located within Academy City, called ''Joseph's Coffee and Restaurant'', notable for being often frequented by Misaka Mikoto and her friends. The name of the restaurant references the actual restaurant in Japan, ''Jonathan's Coffee and Restaurant'', though in this case, they replaced "[[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]]" with "[[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]]".<br />There is also a petshop featured in School District 7 and is named ''Horus Pet house,'' a direct reference to the part 3 antagonist of the same name and his stand. In the manga, the pet shop's logo features two animals, both of which seem to depict Pet Shop and Iggy, though this reference is lost in the anime.<br />
*In chapter 74, a precognitive esper named Shaei is introduced with the ability to use a camera to produce a photo of a future event. He describes an app that people use to find lost objects, using an example of an esper girl destroying a camera with a karate chop, referencing to Joseph Joestar's usage of Hermit Purple's abilities.<br />

Many references are played out in this short scene, most being homages to [[Stardust Crusaders]]. Upon meeting his date partner, Toucan screams "WRYYYYY", [[Dio Brando]]'s popular cry. As he does so, the camera spins around showing him performing DIO's signature pose from [[Chapter 117]]. All while this occurs the katakana for "Menacing" floats around Toucan. Toucan suddenly stops time, and a [[Stand]]-like figure resembling [[The World]] is temporarily summoned. When Toucan stops time he points towards the viewer in a similar fashion to Dio in [[Chapter 253]] when he first reveals his stand. Once time is stopped, Toucan performs Jotaro's iconic pose from [[Volume 14]]. Afterward, he exclaims "Yare yare daze", Jotaro's signature catchphrase. Finally, once time has resumed, Toucan's co-worker, Lizard, begins mimicking the sound of a phone ringing, similar to how [[Vinegar Doppio]] does in [[Vento Aureo]]<br />

Chapter 176 displays various memories of the students hanging out/trying to kill their teacher Korosensei. In one of them, one student painted Korosensei being shot at by another student in the same manner as [[Tohth]] predicting Jotaro would be shot at by two bullets.<br />
<br />
Yusei Matsui, the creator of Assassination Classroom, also joined Araki on a 2013 TV Special where he ate the latter's homemade spaghetti. As an avid fan of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Matsui drew an 8-page report on his experience with Araki and his cooking.<br />

There is also a scene in episode 7 where an annoying man with [[Josuke Higashikata]]'s hair and his girlfriend try to get married at the Kisaragi Grand Park. The scene features JoJo-inspired like frames and the character even does several poses from [[Jonathan Joestar]], [[Jotaro Kujo]], and [[Killer Queen]].<br />

[[File:OrochiDoppoDoYouUnderstand.png|thumb]]<br />
In September 2021, a special tribute chapter for Itagaki Keisuke's Baki the Grappler franchise's 30th anniversary was released in Weekly Shonen Champion. This chapter was written by Yabako Sandrovich and illustrated by Daromeon, the creators of the Kengan Ashura and Kengan Omega manga series as a collaboration between the two series.<br />
In the chapter, a character from the Baki series, the founder of the Shinshinkai karate dojo Orochi Doppo is invited to spectate a Kengan match and meets with Pa Paing, a character from the Kengan Omega series. After demonstrating the power of his karate chops, he asks Pa Paing "Do you understand?" (ドー・ユー・アンダスタンド). This is a reference to the character of [[Rubber Soul]] from [[Stardust Crusaders]], who asks [[Jotaro Kujo]] the same question after demonstrating his own ability. <br />

In Chapter 24 of {{W|Bastard!!}}, when Kai Harn takes out garlic and a crucifix to affect Di-Amon, Di-Amon proclaims these are only things in the world that Vampires fear (quickly revealed to be said in mockery of the useless attempt). The creator of the manga, {{W|Kazushi Hagiwara}}, apologizes at the bottom of the page to [[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]] with "荒木先生ごめんなさい" (Sorry, master Araki.).<br />
<br />
<br />
In Chapter 26, Di-Amon uses a technique whereas he shoots rays out of his eyes, possibly referencing [[Dio Brando]]'s "[[Space Ripper Stingy Eyes]]" technique.<br />
<br />
In Chapter 64, when Abigail is continuing to attack Dark Schneider, he is seen shouting "オラ" (ORA) repeatedly. Referencing the [[Stand Cry]] that is synonymous with [[Jotaro Kujo]]'s [[Star Platinum]]. Hagiwara again apologizes to Araki at the bottom of the panel with "荒木せんせーゴメンっ!" (Sorry, master Araki!).<br />
<br />
In Chapter 75, Di-Amon begs for his life after losing in a fight to Kall-Su. He claims that killing him would be “Useless” by shouting “無駄 無駄 無駄” repeatedly. Referencing the Stand Cry of Dio Brandon’s [[The World]], along with it being one of his vampiric catchphrases. In the same chapter, Di-Amon also flees by severing his own head, possibly referencing Dio’s escape during his confrontation with [[Jonathan Joestar]] at his castle.<br />

The situation is very similar to a wound that [[Jack the Ripper]] self-inflicts in [[Chapter 22]]. {{W|Kentaro Miura}} was known to be inspired by older manga series.<br />

In a 2013 interview with Comic Natalie, he draws a similarity between ''Bungo Stray Dogs'' and ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' characters, noting that although the humans are weak by themselves, they are still strong in a way that they can overcome obstacles with their courage and determination, and not just by using their [[Stand]]s or special abilities.<ref>[https://natalie.mu/comic/pp/bungostraydogs/page/3 Comic Natalie | 「文豪ストレイドッグス」イケメン文豪の誕生秘話を語る朝霧カフカ、春河35インタビュー]</ref> Asagiri is also open towards his opinions on the series and often mentioned it on his Twitter.<ref>[https://twitter.com/kafkaasagiri/status/237480425101078528?s=20 Asagiri's Twitter | "JoJo is a story about people with different abilities..."]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/kafkaasagiri/status/237858382176997376?s=20 Asagiri's Twitter | "I wrote a tweet about JoJo, and the number of (Twitter) favorites is amazing.

Koyoharu Gotouge, the manga artist of {{W|Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba}}, is a fan of JoJo according to their first editor, Tatsuhiko Katayama. This is confirmed in a twitcasting Q&A session from [https://schoolof.shonenjump.com/ School of Jump] where Gotouge reveals the three series that influenced Demon Slayer were JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Naruto, and Bleach.<ref>https://w.atwiki.jp/kimetsunoyaiba/pages/64.html</ref> Particular influences from JoJo include the breathing method being similar to the [[Ripple]], and the motif of the immortal demon Muzan being reminiscent of [[Dio Brando]].<ref>[https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/17760339/ Kimetsu no Yaiba -- Tatsuhiko Katayama Interview]</ref><br />

There are several other homages to JoJo throughout the manga.<br />
<br />
In Chapter 129, Inosuke charges through a window yelling "WRYYYYYY", which is the battle cry mainly used by [[Dio Brando]] but also a few other characters in JoJo.<br />

[[Rohan Kishibe]] is the featured detective in the 101st volume of ''{{W|Detective Conan}}'''s "Detective Picture Book" with a colored illustration and description by [[Gosho Aoyama]].<br />
{{Quote|Let me introduce Rohan Kishibe, the most unique of all famous detectives! Rohan is a super popular manga artist with a series in the Shonen Jump magazine. He's also an eccentric who devotes his entire life to manga! He trains his body for this sole purpose, waking up in the morning to do finger exercises, and immersing himself in his work with an almost inhuman degree of skill. Also, he's unable to control his curiosity when something catches his eye, which often leads to him getting involved in bizarre cases.<br />
<br />
During these bizarre cases, he calls himself forth to investigate with the help of "[[Heaven's Door]]," which has the special ability to read a person's life like a book. In addition, he uses his intellect and tremendous self-confidence to get to the bottom of the mystery. Despite this, he seems more focused on his manga rather than solving the actual case... By the way, according to the author, Hirohiko Araki, Rohan Kishibe is his "ideal vision of a manga artist." If I could use Heaven's Door, I'd like to take a peek inside of Rohan... (laughs)<br />

During a stage greeting event for the film on September 30, 2023, Aoyama revealed that he created Pinga's androgynous features to make him look like a character from ''JoJo'', which was something the series had never done before.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://natalie.mu/comic/news/543176|title=「劇場版コナン」ピンガ誕生に「ジョジョ」の存在、青山剛昌が次回作についても明かす|date=September 30, 2023|publisher=Natalie}}</ref><br />

The "Stands" may possess the "Stand user" to grant him special abilities, which parody the conventional [[Stand]] naming derived from musical themes. The anime equivalent of the arc has {{w|Gintoki Sakata}} defining a "Stand" while [[Star Platinum]] appears as an example, donning Gintoki's trademark attire, and includes a reference to Hirohiko Araki as a "backward-aging fairy".

'''Chapter 9''': After returning Keita Tsuwabuki's hankercheif, Ichiko makes a remark about feeling reinvigorated, comparing the feeling to wearing a new pair of panties on New Year's Day.

In chapter 387, the character Tserriednich explains his Nen ability, which is very similar to [[Diavolo|Diavolo's]] Stand [[King Crimson]] and its [[Epitaph]] ability. Both abilities allow the user to see 10 seconds into the future and change their actions according to it while everyone else is unable to perceive their changed actions.<br />

In chapter 389, a character is depicted reading the "Book of Tyson", which is said to use music lyrics to convey messages, very similar to how [[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]] tends to use music references for his names and story. The final chapter of this book is called "What a Wonderful World", which is the name of the final chapter of ''[[Stone Ocean]]''.<br />

In chapter 390, the character Hinrigh is shown using his ability, which can turn any device or object he touches into a living creature. The device or weapon can retain its original function and can be manipulated at will. This ability is very similar to [[Giorno Giovanna|Giorno Giovanna's]] Stand [[Gold Experience]].}}<br />

During the fight, Hakari mentions that he has "manga" on the brain and then proceeds to throw Kashimo over the sea in an attempt to discharge his electricity-based curse in the water. The act is likely a reference to the fight between [[Josuke Higashikata]] and [[Akira Otoishi]], where Akira's Stand, [[Red Hot Chili Pepper]], is defeated in a similar fashion.<br />

{{Hatnote|This article is about the anime adaptation as a whole. For season one of the anime, see [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Season)]]}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation'''''|ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 THE ANIMATION|JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Za Animēshon}} is the {{W|anime|TV anime}} adaptation of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' produced by [[David Production]] and {{W|Warner Bros.|Warner Bros. Japan}}. It was first announced on July 5, 2012 during the [[Hirohiko Araki JoJo Exhibition 2012]] press conference alongside ''[[All-Star Battle]]'', coinciding with the manga's [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's 25th Anniversary|25th Anniversary]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su0_tuodDRA Hirohiko Araki JoJo Exhibition 2012 Presentation]</ref><br />
<br />
Initially, the name only referred to the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Season)|first season]], which adapted both ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' and ''[[Battle Tendency]]''. However, it was expanded to encompass subsequent seasons as they released. Though the name was phased out in marketing for the [[Golden Wind (Anime)|fourth season]], it was later revived for merchandise relevant to the anime's [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation's 10th Anniversary|10th Anniversary]] celebration.<br />
<br />
==Creation and Production==<br />
[[File:AAA 126.jpg|thumb]]<br />
Before the decision was made to adapt ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' into a TV anime, producer Hiroyuki Omori of Warner Bros. Japan was approached by an anime-related company regarding the matter. Omori was unsure if modern audiences would want to see an adaptation of the earlier parts of the series, as the muscular ''gekiga'' art style was very different from other anime series that aired at the time. Despite this, Omori decided to go ahead with producing a TV anime adaptation of the series, saying that the "power of the original work" has not faded despite the "outdated" designs.<br />
<br />
Omori then needed to find a fitting production studio to animate the series. He wished to find a studio that could "draw powerful muscle movements" due to the muscular character designs of the early parts of the series. After careful consideration, he chose [[David Production]] after seeing their work on ''{{W|Tatakau Shisho|The Book of Bantorra}}'', which displayed "powerful linework and careful animation."<ref name="SoulInt">{{IN|Animation Series Production Note (March 2021)}}</ref><br />
<br />
By the time production on the series began, the core team was composed of Tsuda, Suzuki, Kasama, Omori, Kobayashi and Soejima. The team decided to follow the source material down to every minute detail, one of them being the unique onomatopoeia used in the manga. The team felt that if they didn't follow the manga so faithfully and resorted to using general anime production techniques, it would no longer be ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'', but rather ''JoJo's Ordinary Adventure''. The guidelines the team set for themselves in the first production meeting became a sort of overall guide for how the series would be produced moving forward throughout future seasons.<ref name="SoulInt"/><br />
<br />
The first two seasons of the anime were greenlit in 2011. The [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Season)|first season]] was to adapt the first two parts of the manga, ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' and ''[[Battle Tendency]]'', while the [[Stardust Crusaders (Anime)|second]] would adapt the third part, ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]''. However, pre-production for the first season would not begin until as late as March 2012, four months before its announcement at [[Hirohiko Araki JoJo Exhibition 2012]].<ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.lisani.jp/0000060411/?show_more=1|title=『ジョジョ』シリーズ主題歌の制作秘話に迫る!ベスト・アルバム『TVアニメ ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 THEME SONG BEST「Generation」』リリース記念、大森啓幸プロデューサーインタビュー|date=September 13, 2017}}</ref> After the success of the first season, [[David Production]] began work on animating the second season as soon as it concluded, with pre-production starting as early as July 2013 and the official announcement occurring in ''[[Weekly Shonen Jump]]'' on October 16, 2013.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-10-16/jojo-bizarre-adventure-part-3-anime-confirmed|title=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 TV Anime Confirmed|author=Egan Loo|publisher=Anime News Network|date=October 16, 2013}}</ref><br />
<br />
Following the success of the first two seasons, a [[Diamond is Unbreakable (Anime)|third season]] of the anime entered production in May 2015, set to adapt ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]''. According to character designer and chief animation director [[Terumi Nishii]], "pleasing the 'boy's love' (''yaoi'') fans" was taken into account when designing the characters for season three, though they retained her regular style.<ref name="manga">{{IN|Terumi Nishii (August 2017)}}</ref> The season was announced at the end of "[[The Last Crusaders]]" event celebrating the previous season on October 24, 2015.<br />
<br />
According to producer Nobutaka Kasama, the [[Golden Wind (Anime)|fourth season]], an adaptation of ''[[Vento Aureo]]'', was greenlit in January 2017.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1564123470|title=アニメ『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 黄金の風』木村泰大監督・髙橋秀弥監督インタビュー|publisher=animate Times|date=July 27, 2019}}</ref> [[Takahiro Kishida]], who had previously worked as an animation director for the [[Episode_10_(OVA)|D'Arby the Gambler]] episode in the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)|1993 OVA]] series, was brought back as the character designer for season four. On July 25, 2017, the directors for the season went on a trip to {{W|Italy}} to begin location scouting, which lasted roughly eight to nine days.<ref>{{INT|Animate Times (July 2019)}}</ref> Season four was officially announced by [[Hirohiko Araki]] on June 21, 2018, at the end of a live news conference for his [[Hirohiko Araki JoJo Exhibition: Ripples of Adventure|Ripples of Adventure]] art exhibition.<br />

{{Quote|So, you won't give the [[Lava Rock]] back? Even after I went and gave you a chance to before you knew too much.|Charmingman|{{Ch|TJL Chapter 9}}}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Charmingman'''|チャーミングマン|Chāminguman}} is an ally featured in the ninth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[The JOJOLands]]''.<br />
<br />
He is introduced as an antagonist who stalks [[Jodio Joestar]] and his allies to try retrieving the [[Lava Rock]], believing it has a connection to his younger brother [[Mauka]]'s disappearance. He is also a [[Stand]] user, wielding a [[Charmingman's Stand|currently unnamed Stand]] that lets him disguise with his surroundings and confuse his enemies' perceptions.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:LRO appearance.png|frameless|left|153px]]<br />
Charmingman is a 21-year-old man with an athletic build, and dark, spiky, shoulder-length hair. His hair is flat at the top with spiky bangs, and the back of his hair juts out in all directions. Charmingman wears makeup, including eye shadows and dark lipstick. He has distinct vertical face markings that run down from his lower eyelids to just above his jawline.<br />
<br />
His outfit consists of a sleeveless jumpsuit with shoulder straps that connect to an upward-facing triangle at the back, and he has a large bow tie on his chest. The shoulder straps have a dark jagged pattern with triangles pointing outward. There are oval-shaped lace-like decorations of varying sizes on his chest behind his jumpsuit and bowtie. In addition, Charmingman wears dark wristbands, knee pads, and sneakers. In his first appearance, he has bow ties on his knees instead of the knee pads. In his flashback, he wears a t-shirt underneath his jumpsuit and the shoulder straps also lack the dark jagged pattern. While bicycling, he wears a helmet with a dark visor and has a backpack.<ref name="TJL12" /><br />
<br />
When Charmingman uses his ability, he has numerous sand fragments floating around his face and upper torso. His skin also feels like coarse sand, which has been like that ever since he was born.<ref name="TJL10">{{Ch|TJL Chapter 10}}</ref><ref name="TJL12" /> Due to his ability, his facial features can change. Charmingman is disguised as [[Paco Laburantes]] when he first appears, looking exactly like him. He hides the sand fragments floating around him before revealing his true nature.<ref name="TJL9">{{Ch|TJL Chapter 9}}</ref> At first, his irises are light when his disguise as Paco wears off, but they are normally dark afterwards.<ref name="TJL10" /><br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Charmingman is an energetic and caring elder brother,<ref name="TJL12" /> yet also demanding and aggressive. He gains an interest in the [[Lava Rock]] after his younger brother falls into a {{W|lava tube}} where the Lava Rock came from. However, he doesn't desire it for money since he thinks that it's impossible to become rich using it.<ref name="TJL12" /><br />
<br />
Charmingman resorts to violence when he doesn't get his way, using brutal methods such as siccing [[Wild Cat Size]] onto [[Jodio Joestar|Jodio]] and his friends to strangle them when they steal [[Rohan Kishibe (The JOJOLands)|Rohan]]'s [[Diamond (TJL)|diamond]] and [[Lava Rock]]. He also has no qualms about trying to murder them himself, stabbing Jodio and [[Dragona Joestar|Dragona]] in the neck. Charmingman is manipulative and cunning, since he attempts to psychologically persuade Jodio into handing over the Lava Rock. He aims to scare Jodio into thinking the mafia might be after him and his friends,<ref name="TJL9" /> and shows an illusion of his cats' decapitated heads inside Jodio's food bag.<ref name="TJL8" /><ref name="TJL11">{{Ch|TJL Chapter 11}}</ref> Moreover, he intelligently uses his environment to trick his opponents.<ref name="TJL10" /><br />
<br />
He has a bad reputation among the local police officers on the island of Hawaii, who make excuses so they don't have to help him find his brother. They place the blame on him instead, bringing up unrelated issues such as an argument he had with Mauka on the previous day and his arrest record from injuring a police officer.<ref name="TJL12" /> Nonetheless, their accusations aren't completely his fault, as the officer just scraped his palm against Charmingman's rough skin after stopping him for a traffic violation. Charmingman is also somewhat merciful as he gives Jodio a chance to return the Lava Rock first before personally attacking him.<ref name="TJL9" /> Despite trying to kill them, Paco believes that he is actually a good person and chooses to make him their ally.<ref name="TJL11" /> He doesn't consider Rohan an enemy and easily becomes cooperative with the gang when they suggest to work together, willingly answering any of their questions. However, it is possible that he didn't give his real name to them, as Paco wonders whether "Charmingman" is actually a name.<ref name="TJL12" /><br />
<br />
Charmingman is athletic and enjoys participating in recreational activities such as bicycle races and 2-mile swimming marathons with his younger brother. He looks forward to those events with excitement and has a competitive spirit.<br />
<br />
He enjoys listening to the albums of {{W|Sia}}, {{W|H.E.R.}}, and {{W|SZA}}, though admits he tends to mix up their names.<ref name="TJL12" /><br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Charmingman's Stand}}<br />
Charmingman's Stand seemingly allows him to alter the perceptions of his enemies by camouflaging with his surroundings and creating fake disguises using sand fragments. This allows him to impersonate another person using another layer of skin. It's possible to hide objects under the disguised skin, such as a knife. The disguise can also be destroyed with enough force, such as Jodio's heavy rain.<br />

===Personal Skills===<br />
[[File:LRO Swinging Knife.png|thumb|right|Swinging a knife at Paco]]<br />
'''Bicycle Riding''': Charmingman is a skilled bicyclist who can do {{W|Bunny hop (cycling)|bunny hops}} to dodge fallen trees.<ref name="TJL12" /><br />
<br />
'''Knife Proficiency''': Charmingman fights with a knife he carries with him, frequently swinging it around. He is more adept at using it for surprise attacks than for hand-to-hand combat, as Paco is easily able to dodge and counter his attacks. Paco also notes that his skills with a knife aren't good enough for him to be an assassin.<ref name="TJL10" /><br />

<br />
==History==<br />
===Background===<br />
Charmingman was born on the {{W|Hawaii (island)|island of Hawaii}} and lived on a farm with his younger brother, [[Mauka]]. One day, he committed a traffic violation on Highway 180. The police officer grabbed Charmingman's arm hard, causing his palm to scrape against Charmingman's rough skin and turn red. The police officer arrested him for this, claiming that Charmingman injured him. A year later, Charmingman got into an ordinary brotherly argument with Mauka on the outskirts of his farm.<br />
<br />
The following day, Charmingman and Mauka went racing on their bicycles on a valley at Hualālai. Charmingman taunted Mauka for being too slow, causing Mauka to wonder if he was planning on doing an {{W|ironman triathlon}}. Just as Charmingman mentioned that they'll be racing each other in a 2-mile swim as well once they get to the beach, he saw a fallen tree in their path. Charmingman evaded it with {{W|Bunny hop (cycling)|bunny hops}} and warned his brother about another fallen tree ahead, but then realized Mauka was no longer on his bicycle. Charmingman got off his bike and panickingly looked around. He eventually found water welled up on the ground, despite there being no water source on Hualālai. Mauka weakly called out for him from within a {{W|lava tube}}.<br />
<br />
Charmingman called police officers to rescue his brother, but they all started to leave without even checking the hole Mauka fell into. Charmingman demanded that they hurry and save him, but an officer dismissed his concern, claiming Mauka was probably in the city eating pizza with a girl. Charmingman insisted that his brother slid into the hole, but the cop asserted there was no water anywhere nearby. The cop instead brought up Charmingman's argument with Mauka and his arrest record, making Charmingman the most suspicious one if they were to start an investigation. Before the officers left, the cop suggested that he should pay them if he wanted them to do a search, and warned that he shouldn't blame them if he were to get shot since the whole area was private property. <br />
<br />
As time passed, Charmingman continued searching for his brother at the volcano but to no avail. He witnessed [[Rohan Kishibe (The JOJOLands)|Rohan Kishibe]] constantly scattering dollar bills around and picking them back up. Rohan then picked up [[Lava Rock]]s from underneath the bills. Mauka had fallen in a lava tube uphill, where the Lava Rocks were falling out of. Charmingman wondered if there was a connection between the Lava Rocks and his brother's disappearance. He followed Rohan and spied on him at his villa with a [[Wild Cat Size|trio of cats]] while the manga artist investigated the properties of the [[Lava Rock]]s.<ref name="TJL12" /><br />
<br />
===[[The JOJOLands]]===<br />
====Pursuing the Lava Rock====<br />
[[File:Charmingman Attacks Jodio.png|thumb|right|Attacking Jodio with a knife]]<br />
While [[Usagi Alohaoe|Usagi]] and [[Dragona Joestar|Dragona]] are testing the Lava Rock's capabilities inside [[Diamotch]], [[Paco Laburantes|Paco]] goes to get chicken burritos for himself and Jodio while they wait. Charmingman transforms into Paco and returns with fake bags of chicken burritos, with one having three potatoes in it instead. He pretends to be excited to eat them, believing they're tastier in the island of Hawaii because the chicken are raised high in the mountains. Jodio then opens one of the bags and instead of potatoes, sees an illusion of the decapitated heads of [[Wild Cat Size]] inside due to Charmingman's ability. This makes Jodio suspect that an enemy is nearby and was stalking them the whole time.<ref name="TJL8">{{Ch|TJL Chapter 8}}</ref><br />
<br />
Still disguised as Paco, Charmingman tries persuading Jodio to return the Lava Rock to its "owner" since their job was just to steal the [[Diamond (TJL)|diamond]]. He hints that the mafia—or a lower organization with similar methods—might be against them. However, Jodio refuses, sure of Rohan being the only owner of the Lava Rocks. He believes that since Rohan was in the middle of investigating the Lava Rocks, and the "owner" was watching Rohan the whole time, the person also didn't know of its abilities. With the possibility of the mafia being after them, Jodio thinks their enemy would most likely also steal the diamond, as well as kill them to not leave any witnesses behind.<br />
<br />
Charmingman tells Jodio that they should bring Dragona and Usagi out of the store since they have the Lava Rock. Just then, the real Paco arrives and apologizes to Jodio for taking so long. The shop he went to ran out of chicken burritos, so he asked them to fry up abalones for them instead. Jodio turns around only to see he was with a fake Paco the whole time, as Charmingman starts shedding off his disguise. Catching them off guard, Charmingman cuts Jodio's neck with a knife, claiming he had tried giving Jodio a chance earlier but Jodio wasted it.<ref name="TJL9" /><br />
<br />
[[File:LRO vs Paco.png|thumb|left|Fighting Paco]]<br />
With Jodio down, Charmingman goes on to fight Paco. He swings his knife toward Paco, who quickly parries the strike by using [[THE Hustle]] to grab a food tray onto his arm, using it as a shield. Paco then punches his impostor in the face, before grabbing a chair with his back and throwing it, launching Charmingman into a pile of chairs and tables. As he gets back up, Charmingman sheds his disguise and reveals his true appearance. Paco asks how long he was following them for, but Charmingman stays silent and takes a fighting stance. He tries making repeated swings at Paco with his knife, but Paco swiftly dodges them all and is about to counter with a punch. Charmingman nearly succeeds in slashing Paco, but Paco retracts his arm and blocks the knife with his forearm, using THE Hustle to make his muscles grab the blade. Paco then punches his own elbow, vibrating the blade trapped in his muscles. Suddenly, Charmingman's muscles on his entire arm holding the knife start intensely vibrating and bulging out on the brink of bursting. As Charmingman screams from the pain of his forearm bending over from his inflated muscles, Paco grabs his neck.<br />
<br />
[[File:LRO Emerges from Birds and Clouds.png|thumb|right|Emerging from birds and clouds]]<br />
Before Paco could strangle him, Charmingman makes Paco perceive his arm emerging from faraway clouds, pointing his knife toward Paco's head. Paco senses it before he's hit, and quickly uppercuts Charmingman's chin with his other arm, stopping the attack and sending him flying. As Dragona and Usagi reunite with Jodio and Paco, Charmingman takes the opportunity to strike with a surprise attack. The group sees a bird grab an expensive watch from a table near a couple, and Dragona is happily surprised to see that the bird is actually flying with the watch toward them. However, Jodio and Paco notice something is wrong and try stopping Dragona from touching the watch. They then realize that what they just saw was a trick messing with their perception, as the woman at the table actually still has the watch on her wrist. As Dragona is about to try grabbing the "watch" from the bird, Charmingman's body emerges from the birds and clouds, with his skin blending into his surroundings. Jodio, Paco, and Usagi watch in horror as the fake watch and birds crumble into his body at the same time as he stabs Dragona's neck with his knife and grabs the pouch holding the Lava Rock. Before Charmingman could escape, Jodio quickly activates [[November Rain]], striking Charmingman's foot with the heavy rain and making him fall down.<ref name="TJL10" /><br />
<br />
Charmingman hides in a nearby car owned by [[Leo]], fusing himself with the door. Jodio finds him with his knife pointed at [[Leo's Girlfriend|Leo's girlfriend]]. Jodio quickly grabs Charmingman's hand and kicks the woman away. Charmingman then shatters the door's window with his knife, knocking Jodio down and making his escape. He heads to the beach, but the gang is able to follow him by using the [[Diamond (TJL)|diamond]] as a radar, which is being attracted to the Lava Rock he is carrying. Fused with a splash of water, Charmingman emerges behind Paco, about to stab him. He disappears for a moment then re-emerges and slashes Paco's left leg. Before Charmingman could pierce Paco's neck, Jodio stops his arms from behind and drags him into the water. Charmingman asserts he was kind enough to give Jodio a chance before. He manages to turn around and is about to cut Jodio's neck, but November Rain activates and crushes the man with its raindrops, shattering the knife in half. Jodio and Charmingman sink deep in the water, but Charmingman gains the upper hand again and pins Jodio down, holding the broken edge of his knife to Jodio's neck. Jodio's November Rain continues its downpour, striking one of the rubber rafts. Usagi gets the message and kicks the raft toward Jodio. As the raft sinks right behind Jodio, he manages to breathe in air from the bubbles flowing from the holes in the raft. Thus, Jodio has the upper hand instead and plans to see how long Charmingman could last without breathing.<ref name="TJL11">{{Ch|TJL Chapter 11}}</ref><br />
<br />
====New Allies====<br />
Paco decides to make Charmingman their ally, so Dragona tells Jodio to stop fighting him. Charmingman joins them at Kona Airport, where Jodio relaxes with him. They have a casual conversation, with Jodio inquiring about Charmingman's recent music preferences. While Jodio chuckles at his choices, Paco, more pressingly, inquires about his name. Charmingman introduces himself and mentions the lava tubes at Hualalai. As the group undergoes airport screening, Charmingman questions whether they'd like him to accompany them to Oahu. Paco makes it clear that his presence is necessary if he's interested in the Lava Rock, cautioning against bringing any weapons on the flight. Charmingman, however, remains skeptical about the group's plan of getting rich from the Lava Rock, predicting they'll see the reality as they each drop out. After the flight, Charmingman waits outside [[Iko Iko]] while his new allies speak to [[Meryl Mei Qi]].<ref name="TJL12" /><br />

==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
*[[Mauka]]: Charmingman is Mauka's elder sibling, often engaging in friendly bicycle races or swimming contests with him. Despite the occasional argument, they have a close bond. Charmingman panics when Mauka suddenly falls off his bicycle into a {{W|lava tube}} and demands for help from police officers.<ref name="TJL12" /><br />
*[[Wild Cat Size]]: He is the owner of a trio of cats, using them to spy on Rohan as well as Jodio's gang. In his own words while disguised as Paco, he doesn't have the least bit of love for the cats despite being their owner.<ref name="TJL9" /> However, this was likely a lie as Paco believes that he's a good person and keeps the cats as pets in the jungle.<ref name="TJL11" /><br />

A series of interviews released alongside the Blu-Ray boxes of the Stone Ocean Anime with the Japanese voice actors and production staff. The first interview was released on November 30, 2022 and other interviews followed with the subsequent Blu-Ray box releases. In addition, on January 23, 2024, additional interviews with the English dub cast were included in the [[VIZ Media]] release of the Blu-ray sets.<br />

==Interview==<br />
{{Tabber<br />
|Fairouz Ai|<br />
Interview with the voice actress of [[Jolyne Cujoh]], discussing her experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us how you got the part of Jolyne.'''<br />
<br />
I got the part via audition, but on the day of the audition, I distinctly remember crying the whole way home thinking I didn't get the role. I love Jolyne so much. Because of that, I was way too nervous during the audition and wasn't able to showcase my best self. I received a callback, which made me both surprised and happy — ''and'' it wasn't actually a callback, they brought me back in to tell me that I got the part! The staff had prepared a whole ordeal for me knowing I was such a huge fan of the ''JoJo'' series. Later on, they sent me a video of that day as a gift. I'm so grateful to them, because this audition really was an extremely important part of my life. I get to look back on the day my dream came true over and over again! After all, ''our memories give our cells courage!''<br />
<br />
'''How was the first day of recording?'''<br />
<br />
I was so overwhelmed about that fact that I'd be voicing my favorite Jolyne that I was more nervous than happy! I entered this industry wanting to voice one of Jolyne's allies, so I was so rickety the first day — with the ''flurry'' of retakes I had to do, I couldn't bring out Jolyne's wild and sensitive character. I had discussion after discussion with the sound director Iwanami-san in order to get her character right. As the recordings went on, though, I felt I was able to understand her and love her even more than I did before.<br />
<br />
'''How did it feel acting alongside your "father," Jotaro, for the first time?'''<br />
<br />
When I first heard Jotaro's voice recording the third episode, I was immediately like, "It's just like the anime!" After that, I received lots of advice from Daisuke Ono about how to voice the "ORA ORA", and I am so grateful for that. He's like a father to me, and I adore him!<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about working with Ermes and F.F.'''<br />
<br />
I've always admired Mutsumi Tamura (Ermes), but I was surprised at how loud and powerful her voice was. Episode 8 in particular was a heated battle with F.F., and we were all just shouting as loudly as we possibly could. (laughs) We were all riled up during recording, which I think ended up sounding good in the actual episode. Compared to ''Golden Wind'', ''Stone Ocean'' has way more female characters, so if we aren't careful, our voices will end up sounding too shrill. We made sure that our voices were passionate and good on the ears. And F.F. is the character I relate to the most, so when they finally appeared in episode 8, I was like "I finally get to meet you!" My heart was full. And Mariya Ise's performance of F.F. is so nuanced, switching smoothly from the creepy mutant to the cute mascot character. Even though F.F.'s character does a 180-degree turn from the beginning to the end, her performance gives them continuity; we can see they're still the same character. F.F.'s voice when we first meet them is processed in post, but even during recording, Mariya Ise's voice performance was so good that I felt like it didn't need to be edited at all!<br />
<br />
'''Was there a specific moment in the first cour (episode 1 through 12) where you felt your performance as Jolyne stood out?'''<br />
<br />
The part in episode 5 where Jolyne trips, and it seems like Jotaro is extending a hand to help her up, but he's actually handing her the pendant. I also had a time when I did not get along with my father, so I really understood how Jolyne felt in that moment, and I was able to bring a daughter's straightforward anger to her father's disappointing action. I think it was pretty real! That scene was also in the audition, so I had a lot of practice. It ended up becoming a very important scene for me.<br />
<br />
'''We heard that you listen to the opening and ending songs every day.'''<br />
<br />
I listen to the opening, "STONE OCEAN", in the mornings after I wake up, and I listen to the ending, "Distant Dreamer", in the evenings on the way home. I love them so much, they're a part of my daily life now! (laughs) I especially love the opening animation that Kamikaze Douga produced — Jolyne's thread connecting to the other JoJo's is awesome. The bright colors make me think, "Prison life doesn't seem too bad!"<br />
<br />
'''How did the people around you react to your participation in this project?'''<br />
<br />
A friend of mine from my days as a student contacted me and told me that my acting has gotten better! We used to read ''JoJo's'' aloud together. It made me really happy to see a reaction from someone I knew in real life. I had wanted to be a voice actor since back then, and I remember telling them, "You should get my signature now while you can!" And I was right! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''And lastly, a message for the fans, please.'''<br />
<br />
The ''JoJo's'' anime is chock-full of directorial choices that move fans of the original manga. I hope you watch this over and over again and discover something new each time. This season holds a lot of references to Stardust Crusaders, and we also get to see Ermes, F.F., and Enrico Pucci's backstories, so I'd be happy if you get to understand them on a deeper level.<br />

|Mutsumi Tamura & Mariya Ise|<br />
Interview with the voice actresses for [[Ermes Costello]] and [[Foo Fighters]], discussing their experiences from dubbing Ermes and F.F.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''First off, tell us about the audition process.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': As soon as I heard about the Phantom Blood anime adaptation, I asked my agency to let me audition for Stone Ocean if it ever got adapted. When the time finally came, I was so excited to see who I'd end up auditioning for. I went with Ermes—considering my experience and strengths, I felt she'd be the best fit for me. I was nervous, but at the same time, I was able to audition with confidence. When I had read the series as a student, I thought she was a difficult character to grasp, but now I feel like I can sympathize with her. But I've always felt that F.F. is impossible to grasp... <br />
<br />
'''ISE''': You tell me that a lot! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I couldn't imagine what F.F. would sound like. So that's one character I did not want to audition for.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I was originally offered to audition as Jolyne, but ended up auditioning for F.F., and it was definitely a challenge trying to get a hold of them.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Right? F.F. is difficult to figure out!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes, but I thought this would be my only chance, that if I didn't try, I wouldn't get to be in Stone Ocean, so I did my absolute best. I had loved JoJo's as a college student, so I've always wanted to be involved somehow. When I heard about the Stone Ocean anime adaptation, I thought, "This is it!" When I was preparing to audition as Jolyne, I watched and read all the previous seasons, so I was very prepared for the role of F.F. as well. They're rational and considerate, but also very cute, so I knew they'd be worth the effort. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''How was the recording experience for this series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': In the first episode, Ermes and Jolyne have a conversation in the prison van. Based on the context, I asked the sound director Iwanami if I should do more of a whisper, but I was shocked when told me, "JoJo's doesn't do whispers! It seems Fairouz Ai (nickname: Fai-chan) was also not aware of this, so we both decided to carve those words into our hearts. (laughs) So we speak in a normal volume in that scene, but we're going for a whisper in vibes only.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Since F.F. doesn't appear until episode 8, I was very curious about the atmosphere of the recording booth. I recall asking you about it when we were together for a different project.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I remember! You also asked me about what kind of person Fai-chan is.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I wanted to prepare, since I had never worked with her before. And you told me that she's bubbly and a JoJo's expert, and that recording has been great so far, so I was relieved. And meeting her in person, she's like a walking spiritual power spot! (laughs) <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Indeed she is. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': She's such a bubbly human, and she radiates positive energy. When we met, she was like, "Nice to meet you! I really love the projects you've been in!" and my walls instantly went down! Thanks to her, I was able to join mid-production with ease. F.F. first appears as the enemy Stand, but recording went so smoothly. My voice has been altered there, but my performance is pretty much as is!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The two of you don't appear together too often.''' <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': That's right. After episode 14, we basically don't see each other, since Ermes is forced to retire due to injury.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': From there it's just Jolyne, F.F., Weather Report, and Anasui. <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I felt so left out when I saw episode 22! (laughs) But Weather Report, well... As a viewer, I was shocked by what F.F. brought in.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Oh, that! Me, too. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Like, seriously?! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I completely forgot about it, even though I had read through the story and even recorded the lines! We don't see the completed animation until it shows up on streaming or broadcast, so it leaves a completely different impression.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I agree. ''JoJo's'' records in batches, so we skip the scenes we're not a part of.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': For episode 22, I didn't record my lines with Yuichiro Umehara (Weather Report) or Tomokazu Seki (Enrico Pucci), so seeing the finished episode really was a shock!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Were there any specific memories from episodes 13 through 24 that left an impression on you?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I love the scene in episode 14, where Ermes goes "And this one, and this one! All for Gloria!" During the audition, I said that line much faster, but when it came to recording the actual episode, that scene is actually much longer, so even though the action is swift, I was able to pour all of Ermes's love and grief for her sister into each punch. That whole scene is incredibly moving.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Even during rehearsal, that scene made me tear up.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Yes! I did the test run, and when I turned to look at everyone, you were all crying. And that hug between Gloria and Ermes is an anime-only bit. I was so grateful to the staff. There's no way we wouldn't cry from that!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Of course, if we cry, it's no longer just a performance. But I cry so easily! So even though I cried during the rehearsal take, I made sure to keep it in during the real take. If I were voicing F.F., I'd definitely cry recording episode 22. Wouldn't you?<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes. I love the line, "Their memories give their cells courage" But I suffered... A two-week New Year's holiday came up between recording episode 21 and 22. That scene, which requires so much of F.F.'s heart, was after the New Year, so I couldn't enjoy the holiday properly! (laughs bitterly)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I hate when our momentum is paused!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': For this episode only, the director gave us the storyboard to refer to, so I spent the entire holiday paging through it and thinking about F.F. When I came back to recording, I was so stiff and nervous! My hands are usually so stable, but I was shaking holding the script. F.F.'s monologue tripped me up so badly...<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I understand, it's especially challenging for those quiet scenes.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly. I was overthinking everything. But I think the final scene with Jolyne ended up rich with emotion.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': It was really good! I cried so many times watching that episode.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Thank you! In the end, the feeling that I fought hard with everyone won over the challenges I faced. That scene has so much poured into it.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': F.F. was doing absolutely everything they possibly could until the very end, and the way they disappear just like that was so sad. They were speaking normally until the end, so I could physically feel how Jolyne and the others felt as the ones who were left behind.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': That was an amazing directorial choice. And only for episode 22, my name was listed first in the ending credits. It felt like an offering from the director to F.F. and me, and I was really grateful.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Who are your favorite characters outside of your own?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I love Miraschon and Miu Miu and all the female characters, but my favorite is actually Emporio. He grew up in such a complicated environment in the prison, but is such a good boy! He's so sage, but still acts hisage sometimes, which is so cute. I especially love him from episode 25 onward—he's absolutely adorable.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Mine is D an G. He appears handsome and cool, but in episode 19 he cries, going, "I want my mama!" I remember Ryota Takeuchi having a difficult time recording that scene, too.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': How so?<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Sound Director Iwanami told him to cry like a spoiled baby, and I remember him saying,"Understood! That's definitely not in my repertoire, but I'll try my best!" And Iwanami-san was like, "I'm sure you've felt this way in real life, right?" (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Iwanami-san's having fun!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': And Takeuchi-san replied,"In real life...? I..I don't think so..." (laugh)" He was cornered!<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I wish I had been there to see that! But props to Takeuchi-san for being able to pass with flying colors in the end.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Araki Sensei's artwork is so amazing that at first I considered the series too grotesque and scary, but as I read on, I was completed sucked into the story. I love that it makes to want to keep turning the page.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': As a woman reading Stone Ocean for the first time, I was given so much courage by Jolyne. She doesn't let all these horrible things get to her, she doesn't lose the will to fight. Her unbreakable spirit really guided me. She's really the perfect role model.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Reading Stone Ocean makes me want to keep going!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly! I think that's what makes the series so incredible.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Lastly, please provide a message for the fans.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': If you are able to enjoy Stone Ocean over and over again through the Blu-ray, that's perfect. The next set will ramp up with the fight against Father Pucchi and the appearance of even more formidable Stands. Our time with F.F. will be coming to an end, but Jolyne's battle continues with Emporio joining the gang in full force.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I would also love it if you relive F.F.'s last moments over and over again. Working onJoJo's had been a dream of mine, so I am so grateful to have met F.F. and I am honored to have been able to give voice to their life. This was an incredible experience for me as a voice actor. Sadly, F.F. and I are bidding the team farewell here, but the battle with Enrico Pucci awaits in the coming episodes, so I will be sure to watch over Jolyne, Ermes, and the others from the heavens.<br />

Interview with the voice actor of [[Narciso Anasui]], discussing his experiences from dubbing Anasui.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Was there anything specific you recall about recording Stone Ocean?'''<br />
<br />
It took courage for me to dive into the atmosphere of the sessions midproduction, since everyone knew what they were doing by that point. The recording studio was fiery! <br />
<br />
'''Tell us about any growth or changes you felt about Narciso Anasui as the story progressed.'''<br />
<br />
He's shrouded in mystery and arouses suspicion upon his first appearance, but as we get to know more about him, we learn that he's a very warm and earnest character. But... he's a bit off on the when and how of showing affection... <br />
<br />
'''How was it working with the others? Did anything surprise you? Did the staff provide any specific direction?'''<br />
<br />
The director and everyone else have so much love for this show. If something clicked, we praised one another, and if something didn't, we redid it until our voices gave out. It was a lighthearted and professional atmosphere. <br />
<br />
'''What is your favorite line from Anasui's dialogue?''' <br />
<br />
Definitely "Give us your blessing. No marriage is official without one", especially since he said it so soon after his first appearance. It took me a while to figure out the right way to say it. <br />
<br />
'''Please give the fans a word, including the highlights from the second tour, episodes 13 through 24.'''<br />
<br />
The words Anasui decides to utter right in the midst of that heated battle made me smile and think, really? You're saying this now? It highlights Anasui's character, and really endeared me to him. <br />

|Kenichi Suzuki|<br />
Interview with the Series Director of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the ending animation for the season.<br />
<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us your thought process behind the direction of the ending animation.'''<br />
<br />
The lyrics for "Distant Dreamer" matched so perfectly with Jolyne's sentiments, I wanted to make sure that the animation also allowed viewers to resonate with what Jolyne was feeling as she waged her battles. The ocean is not strapped down by a specific time or place, so the impression changes after each episode; it can be seen with the lens of hope and despair. This is the first ending in the JoJo's series where characters don't appear, and this might have surprised people, but I want people to consider why we chose not to depict anyone.<br />
<br />
'''How did you go on about animating the waves?'''<br />
<br />
It's all due to the hard work of [[Ryo Ohashi]], who was in charge of the ending animation VFX and cinematography. We were able to do waves because of his skill. It's very difficult to create natural things such as waves using CG, and we were even considering animating them by hand, but we saw Ohashi's waves during a test run for a different part of the show, and he helped realize my vision. I want the viewers to pay close attention to the waves hitting the shore, and those waves being washed away by the next.<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray, please.'''<br />
<br />
I know you might have seen this show on TV or via streaming, but the Blu-ray will allow for a uniquely high-quality viewing experience. The battles rage on as we approach the third Cour, episodes 25 through 38. Why not join the fight with Jolyne and gang?<br />

|Masanori Shino|<br />
Interview with the Character Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the character design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was the process leading up to participating in this project?'''<br />
<br />
It was through a character design competition. I had been asked to join since Phantom Blood, but my schedule never lined up, so I was able to join at last in this season. I had been buying and reading Stone Ocean even before I was asked to work on it, so I believe it was fate, and my wish came true.<br />
<br />
'''What was it like getting to design the characters?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne in particular has so many expression variations that I had a hard time in the beginning. She grows from a normal girl to a strong young woman, so her expressions are compeletely different in the beginning versus later in the season. After discussing with Director Suzuki, we decided to split her design sheet, one for the first half, one for the second half. We have two character design sheets just for Jolyne.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other requests from Director Suzuki that you recall?'''<br />
<br />
He requested that I streamline the line work as much as possible so that everyone could draw the characters. Of course, if we remove too much of the line work, it's no longer JoJo's, so he ended up asking me to add more lines back in. [laughs] I wanted to make sure the style followed the manga art as much as possible, so that was a challenging aspect.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about your character designing process.'''<br />
<br />
I start with the ears, actually. Every manga artist draws ears a different way, so getting the ears down is a big step toward grasping the character as a whole. Araki Sensei leans towards realism, but his ears are very manga-esque, so I find that very interesting.<br />
<br />
'''The JoJo's series has some very unique poses.'''<br />
<br />
I was concious of that as well, JoJo's bodies have a very particular form, so outlining the human form like normal would not bring out Araki Sensei's style. Everyone's proportions are unique, and Jolyne and gang never stand like normal people, so re-creating those poses was difficult. I also paid special attention to how characters looked lined up next to one another.<br />
<br />
'''There's quite the height difference between Jolyne and Emporio.'''<br />
<br />
Exactly. It's especially difficult striking the right head-and-body ratio. Since anime is horizontal, re-creating Emporio as is would cut him out of the screen because he's so short. And if you include his hat, Weather Report is like nine or ten heads tall, so lining him up with other characters tends to throw off the balance.<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell us more about how you struck the right balance?'''<br />
<br />
Since Jolyne wouldn't be Jolyne if we changed her proportions, I used her as the base for everyone else. For example, we made Emporio's ratio a tad taller than he is in the manga, just enough that it doesn't feel wrong.<br />
<br />
'''You were also one of the chief animation directors. How was that experience?'''<br />
<br />
My biggest regret is not being able to work on all of the episodes and not being able to check all the scenes. But I really love the scenes of Jolyne that I was able to work on in the first episode. Also, since shadows are drawn in a unique way in JoJo's, I went back and forth about how to go on about it for this season, but in the end we went with a more realistic style. I'm proud of the results, especially in the first episode.<br />
<br />
'''Do you have a favorite character out of the ones you designed?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne is my favorite, but I also like Gwess. I had the opportunity to draw Gwess for the anime, too, and I am really satisfied with my work! I liked her as a character when I was reading the manga, as well.<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
The art style, definitely. I personally adore the style in Diamond is Unbreakable, but Vento Aureo leaves the biggest impression. I used to follow the series in real time via Weekly Shonen Jump, and I finally began buying the manga volumes around the time Stone Ocean started up. This applies to all the seasons, but I love how we can never predict what will happen next.<br />
<br />
'''Finally, please leave a message for the fans who've purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
I mentioned Jolyne earlier, but I also really love Jotaro, especially this new perception of him as a father. "I want to make him as badass as possible" was always on my mind during production. So, I hope that my feelings are reflected in the way Jotaro is animated.<br />
}}<br />
|Shunichi Ishimoto|<br />
Interview with the Stand Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the Stand design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Please tell us a bit about how you came about working on this season.'''<br />
<br />
Since I had worked as chief animation director and secondary character designer on Golden Wind, I felt like I was done working on the JoJo's series. But Director Suzuki asked me to work on the Stand designs. I've been under his care since early on, when I was just starting out in my career, so I accepted the request.<br />
<br />
'''How did you feel when you were put in charge of Stand design?'''<br />
<br />
I felt the weight of expectation on me, for sure. This series has so many fans, and I wanted to make sure the designs were stable across the season.<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything you prepared for in order to work on the Stand designs?'''<br />
<br />
It was a challenge to figure out the designs for the Stone Ocean Stands, since they're so complex. We basically made sure that we all knew how each Stand worked, so that meant reading the manga, and asking Director Suzuki and even Hirohiko Araki Sensei if any questions came up. For example, Diver Down sometimes narrows its round eyes, and we had to check whether that meant it was changing facial expressions.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other points you found challenging?'''<br />
<br />
The amount of lines used in the Stand designs in the manga are part of what make them so beautiful, but we can't animate all of that line work. So, we made sure to toe the thin line between too little and too much, so that the Stands were still beautiful but not impossible to animate. If they were still too difficult, we edited them in post using photography.<br />
<br />
'''Which Stands were created with the help of photography?'''<br />
<br />
One example is the DNA sequence written on Whitesnake's chest. We couldn't hand draw all of that. Dragon's Dream is another one that used the help of 3D CG. Stone Free's threads were a combination of hand drawn and post-editing. If the threads were entangled in a difficult way, we edited them after animation.<br />
<br />
'''In your opinion, what are the most important things to think about when designing Stands?'''<br />
<br />
I think it's important to leave room for stylization to be added in the key animation. This makes sure the Stands move and look their best. Usually, the most important thing in anime is to make sure characters can be drawn by any member of the staff. But in JoJo's, we put notes in the design sheets so that the key animators can add their own direction, changing the flavor of shading or expressions, or adding highlights in key points.<br />
<br />
'''We see those often in the battle scenes.'''<br />
<br />
Yes, like in Kiss's brawl in episode 14, where Takeshi Morita was in charge of key animation. Some details in this scene purposefully deviate from the character design sheet, since the animation was closer to theatrical quality. I did something similar in episode 15, where I was the chief animation director.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any challenges acting as chief animation director?'''<br />
<br />
Episode 15 features three storylines, so it was a chore to animate all the characters, young and old, male and female. [laughs] It was also Anasui's first appearance, so the layout highlighted him. I also put in a lot of effort into DIO's appearance. He might be the enemy, but he's also a godlike presence to our villain Pucci, so we had to make sure he appeared dignified.<br />
<br />
'''Did you do any special preparations in order to animate the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
Reading the manga is a given, but we also study other non-animated works in order to absorb different techniques and knowledge. For Stone Ocean, I watched a lot of movies, like old thrillers, which helped me with the Stand designs. I also did face studies of people from different countries and researched what sort of makeup models used. These types of things really help us draw in a wider capacity.<br />
<br />
'''Thank you. Lastly, a message to the fans who purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
Please enjoy this season. I'd love it if you'd watch all the seasons straight through, from Phantom Blood to Stone Ocean. It's such a fun season, and so many scenes give you courage, so even if you're feeling down, I believe Stone Ocean will help you get back on your feet.<br />

|ichigo|<br />
Interview with the singer of the first opening of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], [[STONE OCEAN (Opening)|STONE OCEAN]], discussing ichigo's thoughts and reactions to the opening video.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was your reaction when you recieved the offer to sing the opening song for Stone Ocean?'''<br />
<br />
I ended up crying my eyes out from shock, elation and disbelief. It was such a tremendous honor that I truly thought it wasn't real until I saw the song on the streamed episode.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about the highlights of your song, "STONE OCEAN"'''<br />
<br />
It's a rock number with plenty of distortion and a melody that's distinctly reminiscent of the ''enka'' style. I think it reflects the story, which is highly individualistic in nature, but at the same time is like, "I will lay my life on the line to save my friends!"<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything in particular that you kept in mind when you were recording the song?'''<br />
<br />
I pictured an all-female band performing at a rock festival, so I made sure my expression felt like I was singing for a large audience. Because of that, the call-and-response in English was originally much wilder, but it ended up feeling too rugged, so I toned it down a notch. If I am ever to perform this song live, I'll do the rugged version! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''What is your favorite part in the opening animation? Tell us why, too!'''<br />
<br />
It's a blink-and-you-miss-it thing, but I got so excited when I noticed the moment when the weak-willed Atroe turns into F.F. And I love the way the credits start changing from episode 13 onward! Please take a look if you can. It's almost unreadable, its amazing! "ichigo from Kisida Kyodan & The Akebosi Rockets" was able to melt into the world of Stone Ocean!<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series?'''<br />
<br />
That no one is simply "a good person"! Everyone has their own sense of justice that burns in their soul, and that gives them an infallible sense of willpower. I love that we can garner courage from their words and actions. "I see! so I can just punch away what I don't like!" [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray set.'''<br />
<br />
We're making the physical product a family heirloom, right? I mean, I certainly will!<br />

A series of interviews released alongside the Blu-Ray boxes of the Stone Ocean Anime with the Japanese voice actors and production staff. The first interview was released on November 30, 2022 and other interviews followed with the subsequent Blu-Ray box releases. In addition, on January 23, 2024, additional interviews with the English dub cast were included in the [[VIZ Media]] release of the Blu-ray sets.<br />

==Interview==<br />
{{Tabber<br />
|Fairouz Ai|<br />
Interview with the voice actress of [[Jolyne Cujoh]], discussing her experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us how you got the part of Jolyne.'''<br />
<br />
I got the part via audition, but on the day of the audition, I distinctly remember crying the whole way home thinking I didn't get the role. I love Jolyne so much. Because of that, I was way too nervous during the audition and wasn't able to showcase my best self. I received a callback, which made me both surprised and happy — ''and'' it wasn't actually a callback, they brought me back in to tell me that I got the part! The staff had prepared a whole ordeal for me knowing I was such a huge fan of the ''JoJo'' series. Later on, they sent me a video of that day as a gift. I'm so grateful to them, because this audition really was an extremely important part of my life. I get to look back on the day my dream came true over and over again! After all, ''our memories give our cells courage!''<br />
<br />
'''How was the first day of recording?'''<br />
<br />
I was so overwhelmed about that fact that I'd be voicing my favorite Jolyne that I was more nervous than happy! I entered this industry wanting to voice one of Jolyne's allies, so I was so rickety the first day — with the ''flurry'' of retakes I had to do, I couldn't bring out Jolyne's wild and sensitive character. I had discussion after discussion with the sound director Iwanami-san in order to get her character right. As the recordings went on, though, I felt I was able to understand her and love her even more than I did before.<br />
<br />
'''How did it feel acting alongside your "father," Jotaro, for the first time?'''<br />
<br />
When I first heard Jotaro's voice recording the third episode, I was immediately like, "It's just like the anime!" After that, I received lots of advice from Daisuke Ono about how to voice the "ORA ORA", and I am so grateful for that. He's like a father to me, and I adore him!<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about working with Ermes and F.F.'''<br />
<br />
I've always admired Mutsumi Tamura (Ermes), but I was surprised at how loud and powerful her voice was. Episode 8 in particular was a heated battle with F.F., and we were all just shouting as loudly as we possibly could. (laughs) We were all riled up during recording, which I think ended up sounding good in the actual episode. Compared to ''Golden Wind'', ''Stone Ocean'' has way more female characters, so if we aren't careful, our voices will end up sounding too shrill. We made sure that our voices were passionate and good on the ears. And F.F. is the character I relate to the most, so when they finally appeared in episode 8, I was like "I finally get to meet you!" My heart was full. And Mariya Ise's performance of F.F. is so nuanced, switching smoothly from the creepy mutant to the cute mascot character. Even though F.F.'s character does a 180-degree turn from the beginning to the end, her performance gives them continuity; we can see they're still the same character. F.F.'s voice when we first meet them is processed in post, but even during recording, Mariya Ise's voice performance was so good that I felt like it didn't need to be edited at all!<br />
<br />
'''Was there a specific moment in the first cour (episode 1 through 12) where you felt your performance as Jolyne stood out?'''<br />
<br />
The part in episode 5 where Jolyne trips, and it seems like Jotaro is extending a hand to help her up, but he's actually handing her the pendant. I also had a time when I did not get along with my father, so I really understood how Jolyne felt in that moment, and I was able to bring a daughter's straightforward anger to her father's disappointing action. I think it was pretty real! That scene was also in the audition, so I had a lot of practice. It ended up becoming a very important scene for me.<br />
<br />
'''We heard that you listen to the opening and ending songs every day.'''<br />
<br />
I listen to the opening, "STONE OCEAN", in the mornings after I wake up, and I listen to the ending, "Distant Dreamer", in the evenings on the way home. I love them so much, they're a part of my daily life now! (laughs) I especially love the opening animation that Kamikaze Douga produced — Jolyne's thread connecting to the other JoJo's is awesome. The bright colors make me think, "Prison life doesn't seem too bad!"<br />
<br />
'''How did the people around you react to your participation in this project?'''<br />
<br />
A friend of mine from my days as a student contacted me and told me that my acting has gotten better! We used to read ''JoJo's'' aloud together. It made me really happy to see a reaction from someone I knew in real life. I had wanted to be a voice actor since back then, and I remember telling them, "You should get my signature now while you can!" And I was right! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''And lastly, a message for the fans, please.'''<br />
<br />
The ''JoJo's'' anime is chock-full of directorial choices that move fans of the original manga. I hope you watch this over and over again and discover something new each time. This season holds a lot of references to Stardust Crusaders, and we also get to see Ermes, F.F., and Enrico Pucci's backstories, so I'd be happy if you get to understand them on a deeper level.<br />

|Mutsumi Tamura & Mariya Ise|<br />
Interview with the voice actresses for [[Ermes Costello]] and [[Foo Fighters]], discussing their experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''First off, tell us about the audition process.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': As soon as I heard about the Phantom Blood anime adaptation, I asked my agency to let me audition for Stone Ocean if it ever got adapted. When the time finally came, I was so excited to see who I'd end up auditioning for. I went with Ermes—considering my experience and strengths, I felt she'd be the best fit for me. I was nervous, but at the same time, I was able to audition with confidence. When I had read the series as a student, I thought she was a difficult character to grasp, but now I feel like I can sympathize with her. But I've always felt that F.F. is impossible to grasp... <br />
<br />
'''ISE''': You tell me that a lot! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I couldn't imagine what F.F. would sound like. So that's one character I did not want to audition for.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I was originally offered to audition as Jolyne, but ended up auditioning for F.F., and it was definitely a challenge trying to get a hold of them.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Right? F.F. is difficult to figure out!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes, but I thought this would be my only chance, that if I didn't try, I wouldn't get to be in Stone Ocean, so I did my absolute best. I had loved JoJo's as a college student, so I've always wanted to be involved somehow. When I heard about the Stone Ocean anime adaptation, I thought, "This is it!" When I was preparing to audition as Jolyne, I watched and read all the previous seasons, so I was very prepared for the role of F.F. as well. They're rational and considerate, but also very cute, so I knew they'd be worth the effort. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''How was the recording experience for this series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': In the first episode, Ermes and Jolyne have a conversation in the prison van. Based on the context, I asked the sound director Iwanami if I should do more of a whisper, but I was shocked when told me, "JoJo's doesn't do whispers! It seems Fairouz Ai (nickname: Fai-chan) was also not aware of this, so we both decided to carve those words into our hearts. (laughs) So we speak in a normal volume in that scene, but we're going for a whisper in vibes only.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Since F.F. doesn't appear until episode 8, I was very curious about the atmosphere of the recording booth. I recall asking you about it when we were together for a different project.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I remember! You also asked me about what kind of person Fai-chan is.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I wanted to prepare, since I had never worked with her before. And you told me that she's bubbly and a JoJo's expert, and that recording has been great so far, so I was relieved. And meeting her in person, she's like a walking spiritual power spot! (laughs) <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Indeed she is. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': She's such a bubbly human, and she radiates positive energy. When we met, she was like, "Nice to meet you! I really love the projects you've been in!" and my walls instantly went down! Thanks to her, I was able to join mid-production with ease. F.F. first appears as the enemy Stand, but recording went so smoothly. My voice has been altered there, but my performance is pretty much as is!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The two of you don't appear together too often.''' <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': That's right. After episode 14, we basically don't see each other, since Ermes is forced to retire due to injury.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': From there it's just Jolyne, F.F., Weather Report, and Anasui. <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I felt so left out when I saw episode 22! (laughs) But Weather Report, well... As a viewer, I was shocked by what F.F. brought in.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Oh, that! Me, too. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Like, seriously?! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I completely forgot about it, even though I had read through the story and even recorded the lines! We don't see the completed animation until it shows up on streaming or broadcast, so it leaves a completely different impression.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I agree. ''JoJo's'' records in batches, so we skip the scenes we're not a part of.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': For episode 22, I didn't record my lines with Yuichiro Umehara (Weather Report) or Tomokazu Seki (Enrico Pucci), so seeing the finished episode really was a shock!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Were there any specific memories from episodes 13 through 24 that left an impression on you?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I love the scene in episode 14, where Ermes goes "And this one, and this one! All for Gloria!" During the audition, I said that line much faster, but when it came to recording the actual episode, that scene is actually much longer, so even though the action is swift, I was able to pour all of Ermes's love and grief for her sister into each punch. That whole scene is incredibly moving.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Even during rehearsal, that scene made me tear up.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Yes! I did the test run, and when I turned to look at everyone, you were all crying. And that hug between Gloria and Ermes is an anime-only bit. I was so grateful to the staff. There's no way we wouldn't cry from that!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Of course, if we cry, it's no longer just a performance. But I cry so easily! So even though I cried during the rehearsal take, I made sure to keep it in during the real take. If I were voicing F.F., I'd definitely cry recording episode 22. Wouldn't you?<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes. I love the line, "Their memories give their cells courage" But I suffered... A two-week New Year's holiday came up between recording episode 21 and 22. That scene, which requires so much of F.F.'s heart, was after the New Year, so I couldn't enjoy the holiday properly! (laughs bitterly)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I hate when our momentum is paused!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': For this episode only, the director gave us the storyboard to refer to, so I spent the entire holiday paging through it and thinking about F.F. When I came back to recording, I was so stiff and nervous! My hands are usually so stable, but I was shaking holding the script. F.F.'s monologue tripped me up so badly...<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I understand, it's especially challenging for those quiet scenes.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly. I was overthinking everything. But I think the final scene with Jolyne ended up rich with emotion.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': It was really good! I cried so many times watching that episode.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Thank you! In the end, the feeling that I fought hard with everyone won over the challenges I faced. That scene has so much poured into it.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': F.F. was doing absolutely everything they possibly could until the very end, and the way they disappear just like that was so sad. They were speaking normally until the end, so I could physically feel how Jolyne and the others felt as the ones who were left behind.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': That was an amazing directorial choice. And only for episode 22, my name was listed first in the ending credits. It felt like an offering from the director to F.F. and me, and I was really grateful.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Who are your favorite characters outside of your own?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I love Miraschon and Miu Miu and all the female characters, but my favorite is actually Emporio. He grew up in such a complicated environment in the prison, but is such a good boy! He's so sage, but still acts hisage sometimes, which is so cute. I especially love him from episode 25 onward—he's absolutely adorable.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Mine is D an G. He appears handsome and cool, but in episode 19 he cries, going, "I want my mama!" I remember Ryota Takeuchi having a difficult time recording that scene, too.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': How so?<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Sound Director Iwanami told him to cry like a spoiled baby, and I remember him saying,"Understood! That's definitely not in my repertoire, but I'll try my best!" And Iwanami-san was like, "I'm sure you've felt this way in real life, right?" (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Iwanami-san's having fun!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': And Takeuchi-san replied,"In real life...? I..I don't think so..." (laugh)" He was cornered!<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I wish I had been there to see that! But props to Takeuchi-san for being able to pass with flying colors in the end.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Araki Sensei's artwork is so amazing that at first I considered the series too grotesque and scary, but as I read on, I was completed sucked into the story. I love that it makes to want to keep turning the page.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': As a woman reading Stone Ocean for the first time, I was given so much courage by Jolyne. She doesn't let all these horrible things get to her, she doesn't lose the will to fight. Her unbreakable spirit really guided me. She's really the perfect role model.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Reading Stone Ocean makes me want to keep going!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly! I think that's what makes the series so incredible.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Lastly, please provide a message for the fans.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': If you are able to enjoy Stone Ocean over and over again through the Blu-ray, that's perfect. The next set will ramp up with the fight against Father Pucchi and the appearance of even more formidable Stands. Our time with F.F. will be coming to an end, but Jolyne's battle continues with Emporio joining the gang in full force.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I would also love it if you relive F.F.'s last moments over and over again. Working onJoJo's had been a dream of mine, so I am so grateful to have met F.F. and I am honored to have been able to give voice to their life. This was an incredible experience for me as a voice actor. Sadly, F.F. and I are bidding the team farewell here, but the battle with Enrico Pucci awaits in the coming episodes, so I will be sure to watch over Jolyne, Ermes, and the others from the heavens.<br />

Interview with the voice actor of [[Narciso Anasui]], discussing his experiences from dubbing Anasui.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Was there anything specific you recall about recording Stone Ocean?'''<br />
<br />
It took courage for me to dive into the atmosphere of the sessions midproduction, since everyone knew what they were doing by that point. The recording studio was fiery! <br />
<br />
'''Tell us about any growth or changes you felt about Narciso Anasui as the story progressed.'''<br />
<br />
He's shrouded in mystery and arouses suspicion upon his first appearance, but as we get to know more about him, we learn that he's a very warm and earnest character. But... he's a bit off on the when and how of showing affection... <br />
<br />
'''How was it working with the others? Did anything surprise you? Did the staff provide any specific direction?'''<br />
<br />
The director and everyone else have so much love for this show. If something clicked, we praised one another, and if something didn't, we redid it until our voices gave out. It was a lighthearted and professional atmosphere. <br />
<br />
'''What is your favorite line from Anasui's dialogue?''' <br />
<br />
Definitely "Give us your blessing. No marriage is official without one", especially since he said it so soon after his first appearance. It took me a while to figure out the right way to say it. <br />
<br />
'''Please give the fans a word, including the highlights from the second tour, episodes 13 through 24.'''<br />
<br />
The words Anasui decides to utter right in the midst of that heated battle made me smile and think, really? You're saying this now? It highlights Anasui's character, and really endeared me to him. <br />

|Kenichi Suzuki|<br />
Interview with the Series Director of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the ending animation for the season.<br />
<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us your thought process behind the direction of the ending animation.'''<br />
<br />
The lyrics for "Distant Dreamer" matched so perfectly with Jolyne's sentiments, I wanted to make sure that the animation also allowed viewers to resonate with what Jolyne was feeling as she waged her battles. The ocean is not strapped down by a specific time or place, so the impression changes after each episode; it can be seen with the lens of hope and despair. This is the first ending in the JoJo's series where characters don't appear, and this might have surprised people, but I want people to consider why we chose not to depict anyone.<br />
<br />
'''How did you go on about animating the waves?'''<br />
<br />
It's all due to the hard work of [[Ryo Ohashi]], who was in charge of the ending animation VFX and cinematography. We were able to do waves because of his skill. It's very difficult to create natural things such as waves using CG, and we were even considering animating them by hand, but we saw Ohashi's waves during a test run for a different part of the show, and he helped realize my vision. I want the viewers to pay close attention to the waves hitting the shore, and those waves being washed away by the next.<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray, please.'''<br />
<br />
I know you might have seen this show on TV or via streaming, but the Blu-ray will allow for a uniquely high-quality viewing experience. The battles rage on as we approach the third Cour, episodes 25 through 38. Why not join the fight with Jolyne and gang?<br />

|Masanori Shino|<br />
Interview with the Character Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the character design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was the process leading up to participating in this project?'''<br />
<br />
It was through a character design competition. I had been asked to join since Phantom Blood, but my schedule never lined up, so I was able to join at last in this season. I had been buying and reading Stone Ocean even before I was asked to work on it, so I believe it was fate, and my wish came true.<br />
<br />
'''What was it like getting to design the characters?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne in particular has so many expression variations that I had a hard time in the beginning. She grows from a normal girl to a strong young woman, so her expressions are compeletely different in the beginning versus later in the season. After discussing with Director Suzuki, we decided to split her design sheet, one for the first half, one for the second half. We have two character design sheets just for Jolyne.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other requests from Director Suzuki that you recall?'''<br />
<br />
He requested that I streamline the line work as much as possible so that everyone could draw the characters. Of course, if we remove too much of the line work, it's no longer JoJo's, so he ended up asking me to add more lines back in. [laughs] I wanted to make sure the style followed the manga art as much as possible, so that was a challenging aspect.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about your character designing process.'''<br />
<br />
I start with the ears, actually. Every manga artist draws ears a different way, so getting the ears down is a big step toward grasping the character as a whole. Araki Sensei leans towards realism, but his ears are very manga-esque, so I find that very interesting.<br />
<br />
'''The JoJo's series has some very unique poses.'''<br />
<br />
I was concious of that as well, JoJo's bodies have a very particular form, so outlining the human form like normal would not bring out Araki Sensei's style. Everyone's proportions are unique, and Jolyne and gang never stand like normal people, so re-creating those poses was difficult. I also paid special attention to how characters looked lined up next to one another.<br />
<br />
'''There's quite the height difference between Jolyne and Emporio.'''<br />
<br />
Exactly. It's especially difficult striking the right head-and-body ratio. Since anime is horizontal, re-creating Emporio as is would cut him out of the screen because he's so short. And if you include his hat, Weather Report is like nine or ten heads tall, so lining him up with other characters tends to throw off the balance.<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell us more about how you struck the right balance?'''<br />
<br />
Since Jolyne wouldn't be Jolyne if we changed her proportions, I used her as the base for everyone else. For example, we made Emporio's ratio a tad taller than he is in the manga, just enough that it doesn't feel wrong.<br />
<br />
'''You were also one of the chief animation directors. How was that experience?'''<br />
<br />
My biggest regret is not being able to work on all of the episodes and not being able to check all the scenes. But I really love the scenes of Jolyne that I was able to work on in the first episode. Also, since shadows are drawn in a unique way in JoJo's, I went back and forth about how to go on about it for this season, but in the end we went with a more realistic style. I'm proud of the results, especially in the first episode.<br />
<br />
'''Do you have a favorite character out of the ones you designed?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne is my favorite, but I also like Gwess. I had the opportunity to draw Gwess for the anime, too, and I am really satisfied with my work! I liked her as a character when I was reading the manga, as well.<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
The art style, definitely. I personally adore the style in Diamond is Unbreakable, but Vento Aureo leaves the biggest impression. I used to follow the series in real time via Weekly Shonen Jump, and I finally began buying the manga volumes around the time Stone Ocean started up. This applies to all the seasons, but I love how we can never predict what will happen next.<br />
<br />
'''Finally, please leave a message for the fans who've purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
I mentioned Jolyne earlier, but I also really love Jotaro, especially this new perception of him as a father. "I want to make him as badass as possible" was always on my mind during production. So, I hope that my feelings are reflected in the way Jotaro is animated.<br />
}}<br />
|Shunichi Ishimoto|<br />
Interview with the Stand Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the Stand design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Please tell us a bit about how you came about working on this season.'''<br />
<br />
Since I had worked as chief animation director and secondary character designer on Golden Wind, I felt like I was done working on the JoJo's series. But Director Suzuki asked me to work on the Stand designs. I've been under his care since early on, when I was just starting out in my career, so I accepted the request.<br />
<br />
'''How did you feel when you were put in charge of Stand design?'''<br />
<br />
I felt the weight of expectation on me, for sure. This series has so many fans, and I wanted to make sure the designs were stable across the season.<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything you prepared for in order to work on the Stand designs?'''<br />
<br />
It was a challenge to figure out the designs for the Stone Ocean Stands, since they're so complex. We basically made sure that we all knew how each Stand worked, so that meant reading the manga, and asking Director Suzuki and even Hirohiko Araki Sensei if any questions came up. For example, Diver Down sometimes narrows its round eyes, and we had to check whether that meant it was changing facial expressions.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other points you found challenging?'''<br />
<br />
The amount of lines used in the Stand designs in the manga are part of what make them so beautiful, but we can't animate all of that line work. So, we made sure to toe the thin line between too little and too much, so that the Stands were still beautiful but not impossible to animate. If they were still too difficult, we edited them in post using photography.<br />
<br />
'''Which Stands were created with the help of photography?'''<br />
<br />
One example is the DNA sequence written on Whitesnake's chest. We couldn't hand draw all of that. Dragon's Dream is another one that used the help of 3D CG. Stone Free's threads were a combination of hand drawn and post-editing. If the threads were entangled in a difficult way, we edited them after animation.<br />
<br />
'''In your opinion, what are the most important things to think about when designing Stands?'''<br />
<br />
I think it's important to leave room for stylization to be added in the key animation. This makes sure the Stands move and look their best. Usually, the most important thing in anime is to make sure characters can be drawn by any member of the staff. But in JoJo's, we put notes in the design sheets so that the key animators can add their own direction, changing the flavor of shading or expressions, or adding highlights in key points.<br />
<br />
'''We see those often in the battle scenes.'''<br />
<br />
Yes, like in Kiss's brawl in episode 14, where Takeshi Morita was in charge of key animation. Some details in this scene purposefully deviate from the character design sheet, since the animation was closer to theatrical quality. I did something similar in episode 15, where I was the chief animation director.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any challenges acting as chief animation director?'''<br />
<br />
Episode 15 features three storylines, so it was a chore to animate all the characters, young and old, male and female. [laughs] It was also Anasui's first appearance, so the layout highlighted him. I also put in a lot of effort into DIO's appearance. He might be the enemy, but he's also a godlike presence to our villain Pucci, so we had to make sure he appeared dignified.<br />
<br />
'''Did you do any special preparations in order to animate the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
Reading the manga is a given, but we also study other non-animated works in order to absorb different techniques and knowledge. For Stone Ocean, I watched a lot of movies, like old thrillers, which helped me with the Stand designs. I also did face studies of people from different countries and researched what sort of makeup models used. These types of things really help us draw in a wider capacity.<br />
<br />
'''Thank you. Lastly, a message to the fans who purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
Please enjoy this season. I'd love it if you'd watch all the seasons straight through, from Phantom Blood to Stone Ocean. It's such a fun season, and so many scenes give you courage, so even if you're feeling down, I believe Stone Ocean will help you get back on your feet.<br />

|ichigo|<br />
Interview with the singer of the first opening of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], [[STONE OCEAN (Opening)|STONE OCEAN]], discussing ichigo's thoughts and reactions to the opening video.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was your reaction when you recieved the offer to sing the opening song for Stone Ocean?'''<br />
<br />
I ended up crying my eyes out from shock, elation and disbelief. It was such a tremendous honor that I truly thought it wasn't real until I saw the song on the streamed episode.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about the highlights of your song, "STONE OCEAN"'''<br />
<br />
It's a rock number with plenty of distortion and a melody that's distinctly reminiscent of the ''enka'' style. I think it reflects the story, which is highly individualistic in nature, but at the same time is like, "I will lay my life on the line to save my friends!"<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything in particular that you kept in mind when you were recording the song?'''<br />
<br />
I pictured an all-female band performing at a rock festival, so I made sure my expression felt like I was singing for a large audience. Because of that, the call-and-response in English was originally much wilder, but it ended up feeling too rugged, so I toned it down a notch. If I am ever to perform this song live, I'll do the rugged version! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''What is your favorite part in the opening animation? Tell us why, too!'''<br />
<br />
It's a blink-and-you-miss-it thing, but I got so excited when I noticed the moment when the weak-willed Atroe turns into F.F. And I love the way the credits start changing from episode 13 onward! Please take a look if you can. It's almost unreadable, its amazing! "ichigo from Kisida Kyodan & The Akebosi Rockets" was able to melt into the world of Stone Ocean!<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series?'''<br />
<br />
That no one is simply "a good person"! Everyone has their own sense of justice that burns in their soul, and that gives them an infallible sense of willpower. I love that we can garner courage from their words and actions. "I see! so I can just punch away what I don't like!" [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray set.'''<br />
<br />
We're making the physical product a family heirloom, right? I mean, I certainly will!<br />

A series of interviews released alongside the Blu-Ray boxes of the Stone Ocean Anime with the Japanese voice actors and production staff. The first interview was released on November 30, 2022 and other interviews followed with the subsequent Blu-Ray box releases. In addition, on January 23, 2024, additional interviews with the English dub cast were included in the [[VIZ Media]] release of the Blu-ray sets.<br />
<br />
==Interview==<br />
{{Tabber<br />
|Fairouz Ai|<br />
Interview with the voice actress of [[Jolyne Cujoh]], discussing her experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us how you got the part of Jolyne.'''<br />
<br />
I got the part via audition, but on the day of the audition, I distinctly remember crying the whole way home thinking I didn't get the role. I love Jolyne so much. Because of that, I was way too nervous during the audition and wasn't able to showcase my best self. I received a callback, which made me both surprised and happy — ''and'' it wasn't actually a callback, they brought me back in to tell me that I got the part! The staff had prepared a whole ordeal for me knowing I was such a huge fan of the ''JoJo'' series. Later on, they sent me a video of that day as a gift. I'm so grateful to them, because this audition really was an extremely important part of my life. I get to look back on the day my dream came true over and over again! After all, ''our memories give our cells courage!''<br />
<br />
'''How was the first day of recording?'''<br />
<br />
I was so overwhelmed about that fact that I'd be voicing my favorite Jolyne that I was more nervous than happy! I entered this industry wanting to voice one of Jolyne's allies, so I was so rickety the first day — with the ''flurry'' of retakes I had to do, I couldn't bring out Jolyne's wild and sensitive character. I had discussion after discussion with the sound director Iwanami-san in order to get her character right. As the recordings went on, though, I felt I was able to understand her and love her even more than I did before.<br />
<br />
'''How did it feel acting alongside your "father," Jotaro, for the first time?'''<br />
<br />
When I first heard Jotaro's voice recording the third episode, I was immediately like, "It's just like the anime!" After that, I received lots of advice from Daisuke Ono about how to voice the "ORA ORA", and I am so grateful for that. He's like a father to me, and I adore him!<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about working with Ermes and F.F.'''<br />
<br />
I've always admired Mutsumi Tamura (Ermes), but I was surprised at how loud and powerful her voice was. Episode 8 in particular was a heated battle with F.F., and we were all just shouting as loudly as we possibly could. (laughs) We were all riled up during recording, which I think ended up sounding good in the actual episode. Compared to ''Golden Wind'', ''Stone Ocean'' has way more female characters, so if we aren't careful, our voices will end up sounding too shrill. We made sure that our voices were passionate and good on the ears. And F.F. is the character I relate to the most, so when they finally appeared in episode 8, I was like "I finally get to meet you!" My heart was full. And Mariya Ise's performance of F.F. is so nuanced, switching smoothly from the creepy mutant to the cute mascot character. Even though F.F.'s character does a 180-degree turn from the beginning to the end, her performance gives them continuity; we can see they're still the same character. F.F.'s voice when we first meet them is processed in post, but even during recording, Mariya Ise's voice performance was so good that I felt like it didn't need to be edited at all!<br />
<br />
'''Was there a specific moment in the first cour (episode 1 through 12) where you felt your performance as Jolyne stood out?'''<br />
<br />
The part in episode 5 where Jolyne trips, and it seems like Jotaro is extending a hand to help her up, but he's actually handing her the pendant. I also had a time when I did not get along with my father, so I really understood how Jolyne felt in that moment, and I was able to bring a daughter's straightforward anger to her father's disappointing action. I think it was pretty real! That scene was also in the audition, so I had a lot of practice. It ended up becoming a very important scene for me.<br />
<br />
'''We heard that you listen to the opening and ending songs every day.'''<br />
<br />
I listen to the opening, "STONE OCEAN", in the mornings after I wake up, and I listen to the ending, "Distant Dreamer", in the evenings on the way home. I love them so much, they're a part of my daily life now! (laughs) I especially love the opening animation that Kamikaze Douga produced — Jolyne's thread connecting to the other JoJo's is awesome. The bright colors make me think, "Prison life doesn't seem too bad!"<br />
<br />
'''How did the people around you react to your participation in this project?'''<br />
<br />
A friend of mine from my days as a student contacted me and told me that my acting has gotten better! We used to read ''JoJo's'' aloud together. It made me really happy to see a reaction from someone I knew in real life. I had wanted to be a voice actor since back then, and I remember telling them, "You should get my signature now while you can!" And I was right! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''And lastly, a message for the fans, please.'''<br />
<br />
The ''JoJo's'' anime is chock-full of directorial choices that move fans of the original manga. I hope you watch this over and over again and discover something new each time. This season holds a lot of references to Stardust Crusaders, and we also get to see Ermes, F.F., and Enrico Pucci's backstories, so I'd be happy if you get to understand them on a deeper level.<br />

|Mutsumi Tamura & Mariya Ise|<br />
Interview with the voice actresses for [[Ermes Costello]] and [[Foo Fighters]], discussing their experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''First off, tell us about the audition process.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': As soon as I heard about the Phantom Blood anime adaptation, I asked my agency to let me audition for Stone Ocean if it ever got adapted. When the time finally came, I was so excited to see who I'd end up auditioning for. I went with Ermes—considering my experience and strengths, I felt she'd be the best fit for me. I was nervous, but at the same time, I was able to audition with confidence. When I had read the series as a student, I thought she was a difficult character to grasp, but now I feel like I can sympathize with her. But I've always felt that F.F. is impossible to grasp... <br />
<br />
'''ISE''': You tell me that a lot! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I couldn't imagine what F.F. would sound like. So that's one character I did not want to audition for.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I was originally offered to audition as Jolyne, but ended up auditioning for F.F., and it was definitely a challenge trying to get a hold of them.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Right? F.F. is difficult to figure out!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes, but I thought this would be my only chance, that if I didn't try, I wouldn't get to be in Stone Ocean, so I did my absolute best. I had loved JoJo's as a college student, so I've always wanted to be involved somehow. When I heard about the Stone Ocean anime adaptation, I thought, "This is it!" When I was preparing to audition as Jolyne, I watched and read all the previous seasons, so I was very prepared for the role of F.F. as well. They're rational and considerate, but also very cute, so I knew they'd be worth the effort. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''How was the recording experience for this series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': In the first episode, Ermes and Jolyne have a conversation in the prison van. Based on the context, I asked the sound director Iwanami if I should do more of a whisper, but I was shocked when told me, "JoJo's doesn't do whispers! It seems Fairouz Ai (nickname: Fai-chan) was also not aware of this, so we both decided to carve those words into our hearts. (laughs) So we speak in a normal volume in that scene, but we're going for a whisper in vibes only.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Since F.F. doesn't appear until episode 8, I was very curious about the atmosphere of the recording booth. I recall asking you about it when we were together for a different project.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I remember! You also asked me about what kind of person Fai-chan is.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I wanted to prepare, since I had never worked with her before. And you told me that she's bubbly and a JoJo's expert, and that recording has been great so far, so I was relieved. And meeting her in person, she's like a walking spiritual power spot! (laughs) <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Indeed she is. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': She's such a bubbly human, and she radiates positive energy. When we met, she was like, "Nice to meet you! I really love the projects you've been in!" and my walls instantly went down! Thanks to her, I was able to join mid-production with ease. F.F. first appears as the enemy Stand, but recording went so smoothly. My voice has been altered there, but my performance is pretty much as is!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The two of you don't appear together too often.''' <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': That's right. After episode 14, we basically don't see each other, since Ermes is forced to retire due to injury.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': From there it's just Jolyne, F.F., Weather Report, and Anasui. <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I felt so left out when I saw episode 22! (laughs) But Weather Report, well... As a viewer, I was shocked by what F.F. brought in.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Oh, that! Me, too. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Like, seriously?! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I completely forgot about it, even though I had read through the story and even recorded the lines! We don't see the completed animation until it shows up on streaming or broadcast, so it leaves a completely different impression.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I agree. ''JoJo's'' records in batches, so we skip the scenes we're not a part of.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': For episode 22, I didn't record my lines with Yuichiro Umehara (Weather Report) or Tomokazu Seki (Enrico Pucci), so seeing the finished episode really was a shock!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Were there any specific memories from episodes 13 through 24 that left an impression on you?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I love the scene in episode 14, where Ermes goes "And this one, and this one! All for Gloria!" During the audition, I said that line much faster, but when it came to recording the actual episode, that scene is actually much longer, so even though the action is swift, I was able to pour all of Ermes's love and grief for her sister into each punch. That whole scene is incredibly moving.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Even during rehearsal, that scene made me tear up.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Yes! I did the test run, and when I turned to look at everyone, you were all crying. And that hug between Gloria and Ermes is an anime-only bit. I was so grateful to the staff. There's no way we wouldn't cry from that!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Of course, if we cry, it's no longer just a performance. But I cry so easily! So even though I cried during the rehearsal take, I made sure to keep it in during the real take. If I were voicing F.F., I'd definitely cry recording episode 22. Wouldn't you?<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes. I love the line, "Their memories give their cells courage" But I suffered... A two-week New Year's holiday came up between recording episode 21 and 22. That scene, which requires so much of F.F.'s heart, was after the New Year, so I couldn't enjoy the holiday properly! (laughs bitterly)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I hate when our momentum is paused!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': For this episode only, the director gave us the storyboard to refer to, so I spent the entire holiday paging through it and thinking about F.F. When I came back to recording, I was so stiff and nervous! My hands are usually so stable, but I was shaking holding the script. F.F.'s monologue tripped me up so badly...<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I understand, it's especially challenging for those quiet scenes.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly. I was overthinking everything. But I think the final scene with Jolyne ended up rich with emotion.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': It was really good! I cried so many times watching that episode.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Thank you! In the end, the feeling that I fought hard with everyone won over the challenges I faced. That scene has so much poured into it.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': F.F. was doing absolutely everything they possibly could until the very end, and the way they disappear just like that was so sad. They were speaking normally until the end, so I could physically feel how Jolyne and the others felt as the ones who were left behind.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': That was an amazing directorial choice. And only for episode 22, my name was listed first in the ending credits. It felt like an offering from the director to F.F. and me, and I was really grateful.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Who are your favorite characters outside of your own?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I love Miraschon and Miu Miu and all the female characters, but my favorite is actually Emporio. He grew up in such a complicated environment in the prison, but is such a good boy! He's so sage, but still acts hisage sometimes, which is so cute. I especially love him from episode 25 onward—he's absolutely adorable.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Mine is D an G. He appears handsome and cool, but in episode 19 he cries, going, "I want my mama!" I remember Ryota Takeuchi having a difficult time recording that scene, too.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': How so?<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Sound Director Iwanami told him to cry like a spoiled baby, and I remember him saying,"Understood! That's definitely not in my repertoire, but I'll try my best!" And Iwanami-san was like, "I'm sure you've felt this way in real life, right?" (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Iwanami-san's having fun!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': And Takeuchi-san replied,"In real life...? I..I don't think so..." (laugh)" He was cornered!<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I wish I had been there to see that! But props to Takeuchi-san for being able to pass with flying colors in the end.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Araki Sensei's artwork is so amazing that at first I considered the series too grotesque and scary, but as I read on, I was completed sucked into the story. I love that it makes to want to keep turning the page.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': As a woman reading Stone Ocean for the first time, I was given so much courage by Jolyne. She doesn't let all these horrible things get to her, she doesn't lose the will to fight. Her unbreakable spirit really guided me. She's really the perfect role model.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Reading Stone Ocean makes me want to keep going!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly! I think that's what makes the series so incredible.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Lastly, please provide a message for the fans.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': If you are able to enjoy Stone Ocean over and over again through the Blu-ray, that's perfect. The next set will ramp up with the fight against Father Pucchi and the appearance of even more formidable Stands. Our time with F.F. will be coming to an end, but Jolyne's battle continues with Emporio joining the gang in full force.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I would also love it if you relive F.F.'s last moments over and over again. Working onJoJo's had been a dream of mine, so I am so grateful to have met F.F. and I am honored to have been able to give voice to their life. This was an incredible experience for me as a voice actor. Sadly, F.F. and I are bidding the team farewell here, but the battle with Enrico Pucci awaits in the coming episodes, so I will be sure to watch over Jolyne, Ermes, and the others from the heavens.<br />

|Kenichi Suzuki|<br />
Interview with the Series Director of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the ending animation for the season.<br />
<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us your thought process behind the direction of the ending animation.'''<br />
<br />
The lyrics for "Distant Dreamer" matched so perfectly with Jolyne's sentiments, I wanted to make sure that the animation also allowed viewers to resonate with what Jolyne was feeling as she waged her battles. The ocean is not strapped down by a specific time or place, so the impression changes after each episode; it can be seen with the lens of hope and despair. This is the first ending in the JoJo's series where characters don't appear, and this might have surprised people, but I want people to consider why we chose not to depict anyone.<br />
<br />
'''How did you go on about animating the waves?'''<br />
<br />
It's all due to the hard work of [[Ryo Ohashi]], who was in charge of the ending animation VFX and cinematography. We were able to do waves because of his skill. It's very difficult to create natural things such as waves using CG, and we were even considering animating them by hand, but we saw Ohashi's waves during a test run for a different part of the show, and he helped realize my vision. I want the viewers to pay close attention to the waves hitting the shore, and those waves being washed away by the next.<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray, please.'''<br />
<br />
I know you might have seen this show on TV or via streaming, but the Blu-ray will allow for a uniquely high-quality viewing experience. The battles rage on as we approach the third Cour, episodes 25 through 38. Why not join the fight with Jolyne and gang?<br />
}}<br />
|Masanori Shino|<br />
Interview with the Character Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the character design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was the process leading up to participating in this project?'''<br />
<br />
It was through a character design competition. I had been asked to join since Phantom Blood, but my schedule never lined up, so I was able to join at last in this season. I had been buying and reading Stone Ocean even before I was asked to work on it, so I believe it was fate, and my wish came true.<br />
<br />
'''What was it like getting to design the characters?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne in particular has so many expression variations that I had a hard time in the beginning. She grows from a normal girl to a strong young woman, so her expressions are compeletely different in the beginning versus later in the season. After discussing with Director Suzuki, we decided to split her design sheet, one for the first half, one for the second half. We have two character design sheets just for Jolyne.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other requests from Director Suzuki that you recall?'''<br />
<br />
He requested that I streamline the line work as much as possible so that everyone could draw the characters. Of course, if we remove too much of the line work, it's no longer JoJo's, so he ended up asking me to add more lines back in. [laughs] I wanted to make sure the style followed the manga art as much as possible, so that was a challenging aspect.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about your character designing process.'''<br />
<br />
I start with the ears, actually. Every manga artist draws ears a different way, so getting the ears down is a big step toward grasping the character as a whole. Araki Sensei leans towards realism, but his ears are very manga-esque, so I find that very interesting.<br />
<br />
'''The JoJo's series has some very unique poses.'''<br />
<br />
I was concious of that as well, JoJo's bodies have a very particular form, so outlining the human form like normal would not bring out Araki Sensei's style. Everyone's proportions are unique, and Jolyne and gang never stand like normal people, so re-creating those poses was difficult. I also paid special attention to how characters looked lined up next to one another.<br />
<br />
'''There's quite the height difference between Jolyne and Emporio.'''<br />
<br />
Exactly. It's especially difficult striking the right head-and-body ratio. Since anime is horizontal, re-creating Emporio as is would cut him out of the screen because he's so short. And if you include his hat, Weather Report is like nine or ten heads tall, so lining him up with other characters tends to throw off the balance.<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell us more about how you struck the right balance?'''<br />
<br />
Since Jolyne wouldn't be Jolyne if we changed her proportions, I used her as the base for everyone else. For example, we made Emporio's ratio a tad taller than he is in the manga, just enough that it doesn't feel wrong.<br />
<br />
'''You were also one of the chief animation directors. How was that experience?'''<br />
<br />
My biggest regret is not being able to work on all of the episodes and not being able to check all the scenes. But I really love the scenes of Jolyne that I was able to work on in the first episode. Also, since shadows are drawn in a unique way in JoJo's, I went back and forth about how to go on about it for this season, but in the end we went with a more realistic style. I'm proud of the results, especially in the first episode.<br />
<br />
'''Do you have a favorite character out of the ones you designed?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne is my favorite, but I also like Gwess. I had the opportunity to draw Gwess for the anime, too, and I am really satisfied with my work! I liked her as a character when I was reading the manga, as well.<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
The art style, definitely. I personally adore the style in Diamond is Unbreakable, but Vento Aureo leaves the biggest impression. I used to follow the series in real time via Weekly Shonen Jump, and I finally began buying the manga volumes around the time Stone Ocean started up. This applies to all the seasons, but I love how we can never predict what will happen next.<br />
<br />
'''Finally, please leave a message for the fans who've purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
I mentioned Jolyne earlier, but I also really love Jotaro, especially this new perception of him as a father. "I want to make him as badass as possible" was always on my mind during production. So, I hope that my feelings are reflected in the way Jotaro is animated.<br />
}}<br />
|Shunichi Ishimoto|<br />
Interview with the Stand Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the Stand design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Please tell us a bit about how you came about working on this season.'''<br />
<br />
Since I had worked as chief animation director and secondary character designer on Golden Wind, I felt like I was done working on the JoJo's series. But Director Suzuki asked me to work on the Stand designs. I've been under his care since early on, when I was just starting out in my career, so I accepted the request.<br />
<br />
'''How did you feel when you were put in charge of Stand design?'''<br />
<br />
I felt the weight of expectation on me, for sure. This series has so many fans, and I wanted to make sure the designs were stable across the season.<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything you prepared for in order to work on the Stand designs?'''<br />
<br />
It was a challenge to figure out the designs for the Stone Ocean Stands, since they're so complex. We basically made sure that we all knew how each Stand worked, so that meant reading the manga, and asking Director Suzuki and even Hirohiko Araki Sensei if any questions came up. For example, Diver Down sometimes narrows its round eyes, and we had to check whether that meant it was changing facial expressions.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other points you found challenging?'''<br />
<br />
The amount of lines used in the Stand designs in the manga are part of what make them so beautiful, but we can't animate all of that line work. So, we made sure to toe the thin line between too little and too much, so that the Stands were still beautiful but not impossible to animate. If they were still too difficult, we edited them in post using photography.<br />
<br />
'''Which Stands were created with the help of photography?'''<br />
<br />
One example is the DNA sequence written on Whitesnake's chest. We couldn't hand draw all of that. Dragon's Dream is another one that used the help of 3D CG. Stone Free's threads were a combination of hand drawn and post-editing. If the threads were entangled in a difficult way, we edited them after animation.<br />
<br />
'''In your opinion, what are the most important things to think about when designing Stands?'''<br />
<br />
I think it's important to leave room for stylization to be added in the key animation. This makes sure the Stands move and look their best. Usually, the most important thing in anime is to make sure characters can be drawn by any member of the staff. But in JoJo's, we put notes in the design sheets so that the key animators can add their own direction, changing the flavor of shading or expressions, or adding highlights in key points.<br />
<br />
'''We see those often in the battle scenes.'''<br />
<br />
Yes, like in Kiss's brawl in episode 14, where Takeshi Morita was in charge of key animation. Some details in this scene purposefully deviate from the character design sheet, since the animation was closer to theatrical quality. I did something similar in episode 15, where I was the chief animation director.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any challenges acting as chief animation director?'''<br />
<br />
Episode 15 features three storylines, so it was a chore to animate all the characters, young and old, male and female. [laughs] It was also Anasui's first appearance, so the layout highlighted him. I also put in a lot of effort into DIO's appearance. He might be the enemy, but he's also a godlike presence to our villain Pucci, so we had to make sure he appeared dignified.<br />
<br />
'''Did you do any special preparations in order to animate the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
Reading the manga is a given, but we also study other non-animated works in order to absorb different techniques and knowledge. For Stone Ocean, I watched a lot of movies, like old thrillers, which helped me with the Stand designs. I also did face studies of people from different countries and researched what sort of makeup models used. These types of things really help us draw in a wider capacity.<br />
<br />
'''Thank you. Lastly, a message to the fans who purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
Please enjoy this season. I'd love it if you'd watch all the seasons straight through, from Phantom Blood to Stone Ocean. It's such a fun season, and so many scenes give you courage, so even if you're feeling down, I believe Stone Ocean will help you get back on your feet.<br />

|ichigo|<br />
Interview with the singer of the first opening of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], [[STONE OCEAN (Opening)|STONE OCEAN]], discussing ichigo's thoughts and reactions to the opening video.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was your reaction when you recieved the offer to sing the opening song for Stone Ocean?'''<br />
<br />
I ended up crying my eyes out from shock, elation and disbelief. It was such a tremendous honor that I truly thought it wasn't real until I saw the song on the streamed episode.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about the highlights of your song, "STONE OCEAN"'''<br />
<br />
It's a rock number with plenty of distortion and a melody that's distinctly reminiscent of the ''enka'' style. I think it reflects the story, which is highly individualistic in nature, but at the same time is like, "I will lay my life on the line to save my friends!"<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything in particular that you kept in mind when you were recording the song?'''<br />
<br />
I pictured an all-female band performing at a rock festival, so I made sure my expression felt like I was singing for a large audience. Because of that, the call-and-response in English was originally much wilder, but it ended up feeling too rugged, so I toned it down a notch. If I am ever to perform this song live, I'll do the rugged version! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''What is your favorite part in the opening animation? Tell us why, too!'''<br />
<br />
It's a blink-and-you-miss-it thing, but I got so excited when I noticed the moment when the weak-willed Atroe turns into F.F. And I love the way the credits start changing from episode 13 onward! Please take a look if you can. It's almost unreadable, its amazing! "ichigo from Kisida Kyodan & The Akebosi Rockets" was able to melt into the world of Stone Ocean!<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series?'''<br />
<br />
That no one is simply "a good person"! Everyone has their own sense of justice that burns in their soul, and that gives them an infallible sense of willpower. I love that we can garner courage from their words and actions. "I see! so I can just punch away what I don't like!" [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray set.'''<br />
<br />
We're making the physical product a family heirloom, right? I mean, I certainly will!<br />

A series of interviews released alongside the Blu-Ray boxes of the Stone Ocean Anime with the Japanese voice actors and production staff. The first interview was released on November 30, 2022 and other interviews followed with the subsequent Blu-Ray box releases. In addition, on January 23, 2024, additional interviews with the English dub cast were included in the [[VIZ Media]] release of the Blu-ray sets.<br />
<br />
==Interview==<br />
{{Tabber<br />
|Fairouz Ai|<br />
Interview with the voice actress of [[Jolyne Cujoh]], discussing her experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us how you got the part of Jolyne.'''<br />
<br />
I got the part via audition, but on the day of the audition, I distinctly remember crying the whole way home thinking I didn't get the role. I love Jolyne so much. Because of that, I was way too nervous during the audition and wasn't able to showcase my best self. I received a callback, which made me both surprised and happy — ''and'' it wasn't actually a callback, they brought me back in to tell me that I got the part! The staff had prepared a whole ordeal for me knowing I was such a huge fan of the ''JoJo'' series. Later on, they sent me a video of that day as a gift. I'm so grateful to them, because this audition really was an extremely important part of my life. I get to look back on the day my dream came true over and over again! After all, ''our memories give our cells courage!''<br />
<br />
'''How was the first day of recording?'''<br />
<br />
I was so overwhelmed about that fact that I'd be voicing my favorite Jolyne that I was more nervous than happy! I entered this industry wanting to voice one of Jolyne's allies, so I was so rickety the first day — with the ''flurry'' of retakes I had to do, I couldn't bring out Jolyne's wild and sensitive character. I had discussion after discussion with the sound director Iwanami-san in order to get her character right. As the recordings went on, though, I felt I was able to understand her and love her even more than I did before.<br />
<br />
'''How did it feel acting alongside your "father," Jotaro, for the first time?'''<br />
<br />
When I first heard Jotaro's voice recording the third episode, I was immediately like, "It's just like the anime!" After that, I received lots of advice from Daisuke Ono about how to voice the "ORA ORA", and I am so grateful for that. He's like a father to me, and I adore him!<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about working with Ermes and F.F.'''<br />
<br />
I've always admired Mutsumi Tamura (Ermes), but I was surprised at how loud and powerful her voice was. Episode 8 in particular was a heated battle with F.F., and we were all just shouting as loudly as we possibly could. (laughs) We were all riled up during recording, which I think ended up sounding good in the actual episode. Compared to ''Golden Wind'', ''Stone Ocean'' has way more female characters, so if we aren't careful, our voices will end up sounding too shrill. We made sure that our voices were passionate and good on the ears. And F.F. is the character I relate to the most, so when they finally appeared in episode 8, I was like "I finally get to meet you!" My heart was full. And Mariya Ise's performance of F.F. is so nuanced, switching smoothly from the creepy mutant to the cute mascot character. Even though F.F.'s character does a 180-degree turn from the beginning to the end, her performance gives them continuity; we can see they're still the same character. F.F.'s voice when we first meet them is processed in post, but even during recording, Mariya Ise's voice performance was so good that I felt like it didn't need to be edited at all!<br />
<br />
'''Was there a specific moment in the first cour (episode 1 through 12) where you felt your performance as Jolyne stood out?'''<br />
<br />
The part in episode 5 where Jolyne trips, and it seems like Jotaro is extending a hand to help her up, but he's actually handing her the pendant. I also had a time when I did not get along with my father, so I really understood how Jolyne felt in that moment, and I was able to bring a daughter's straightforward anger to her father's disappointing action. I think it was pretty real! That scene was also in the audition, so I had a lot of practice. It ended up becoming a very important scene for me.<br />
<br />
'''We heard that you listen to the opening and ending songs every day.'''<br />
<br />
I listen to the opening, "STONE OCEAN", in the mornings after I wake up, and I listen to the ending, "Distant Dreamer", in the evenings on the way home. I love them so much, they're a part of my daily life now! (laughs) I especially love the opening animation that Kamikaze Douga produced — Jolyne's thread connecting to the other JoJo's is awesome. The bright colors make me think, "Prison life doesn't seem too bad!"<br />
<br />
'''How did the people around you react to your participation in this project?'''<br />
<br />
A friend of mine from my days as a student contacted me and told me that my acting has gotten better! We used to read ''JoJo's'' aloud together. It made me really happy to see a reaction from someone I knew in real life. I had wanted to be a voice actor since back then, and I remember telling them, "You should get my signature now while you can!" And I was right! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''And lastly, a message for the fans, please.'''<br />
<br />
The ''JoJo's'' anime is chock-full of directorial choices that move fans of the original manga. I hope you watch this over and over again and discover something new each time. This season holds a lot of references to Stardust Crusaders, and we also get to see Ermes, F.F., and Enrico Pucci's backstories, so I'd be happy if you get to understand them on a deeper level.<br />

|Mutsumi Tamura & Mariya Ise|<br />
Interview with the voice actresses for [[Ermes Costello]] and [[Foo Fighters]], discussing their experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''First off, tell us about the audition process.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': As soon as I heard about the Phantom Blood anime adaptation, I asked my agency to let me audition for Stone Ocean if it ever got adapted. When the time finally came, I was so excited to see who I'd end up auditioning for. I went with Ermes—considering my experience and strengths, I felt she'd be the best fit for me. I was nervous, but at the same time, I was able to audition with confidence. When I had read the series as a student, I thought she was a difficult character to grasp, but now I feel like I can sympathize with her. But I've always felt that F.F. is impossible to grasp... <br />
<br />
'''ISE''': You tell me that a lot! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I couldn't imagine what F.F. would sound like. So that's one character I did not want to audition for.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I was originally offered to audition as Jolyne, but ended up auditioning for F.F., and it was definitely a challenge trying to get a hold of them.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Right? F.F. is difficult to figure out!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes, but I thought this would be my only chance, that if I didn't try, I wouldn't get to be in Stone Ocean, so I did my absolute best. I had loved JoJo's as a college student, so I've always wanted to be involved somehow. When I heard about the Stone Ocean anime adaptation, I thought, "This is it!" When I was preparing to audition as Jolyne, I watched and read all the previous seasons, so I was very prepared for the role of F.F. as well. They're rational and considerate, but also very cute, so I knew they'd be worth the effort. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''How was the recording experience for this series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': In the first episode, Ermes and Jolyne have a conversation in the prison van. Based on the context, I asked the sound director Iwanami if I should do more of a whisper, but I was shocked when told me, "JoJo's doesn't do whispers! It seems Fairouz Ai (nickname: Fai-chan) was also not aware of this, so we both decided to carve those words into our hearts. [laughs] So we speak in a normal volume in that scene, but we're going for a whisper in vibes only.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Since F.F. doesn't appear until episode 8, I was very curious about the atmosphere of the recording booth. I recall asking you about it when we were together for a different project.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I remember! You also asked me about what kind of person Fai-chan is.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I wanted to prepare, since I had never worked with her before. And you told me that she's bubbly and a JoJo's expert, and that recording has been great so far, so I was relieved. And meeting her in person, she's like a walking spiritual power spot! (laughs) <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Indeed she is. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': She's such a bubbly human, and she radiates positive energy. When we met, she was like, "Nice to meet you! I really love the projects you've been in!" and my walls instantly went down! Thanks to her, I was able to join mid-production with ease. F.F. first appears as the enemy Stand, but recording went so smoothly. My voice has been altered there, but my performance is pretty much as is!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The two of you don't appear together too often.''' <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': That's right. After episode 14, we basically don't see each other, since Ermes is forced to retire due to injury.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': From there it's just Jolyne, F.F., Weather Report, and Anasui. <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I felt so left out when I saw episode 22! [laughs] But Weather Report, well... As a viewer, I was shocked by what F.F. brought in.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Oh, that! Me, too. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Like, seriously?! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I completely forgot about it, even though I had read through the story and even recorded the lines! We don't see the completed animation until it shows up on streaming or broadcast, so it leaves a completely different impression.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I agree. ''JoJo's'' records in batches, so we skip the scenes we're not a part of.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': For episode 22, I didn't record my lines with Yuichiro Umehara (Weather Report) or Tomokazu Seki (Enrico Pucci), so seeing the finished episode really was a shock!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Were there any specific memories from episodes 13 through 24 that left an impression on you?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I love the scene in episode 14, where Ermes goes "And this one, and this one! All for Gloria!" During the audition, I said that line much faster, but when it came to recording the actual episode, that scene is actually much longer, so even though the action is swift, I was able to pour all of Ermes's love and grief for her sister into each punch. That whole scene is incredibly moving.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Even during rehearsal, that scene made me tear up.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Yes! I did the test run, and when I turned to look at everyone, you were all crying. And that hug between Gloria and Ermes is an anime-only bit. I was so grateful to the staff. There's no way we wouldn't cry from that!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Of course, if we cry, it's no longer just a performance. But I cry so easily! So even though I cried during the rehearsal take, I made sure to keep it in during the real take. If I were voicing F.F., I'd definitely cry recording episode 22. Wouldn't you?<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes. I love the line, "Their memories give their cells courage" But I suffered... A two-week New Year's holiday came up between recording episode 21 and 22. That scene, which requires so much of F.F.'s heart, was after the New Year, so I couldn't enjoy the holiday properly! (laughs bitterly)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I hate when our momentum is paused!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': For this episode only, the director gave us the storyboard to refer to, so I spent the entire holiday paging through it and thinking about F.F. When I came back to recording, I was so stiff and nervous! My hands are usually so stable, but I was shaking holding the script. F.F.'s monologue tripped me up so badly...<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I understand, it's especially challenging for those quiet scenes.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly. I was overthinking everything. But I think the final scene with Jolyne ended up rich with emotion.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': It was really good! I cried so many times watching that episode.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Thank you! In the end, the feeling that I fought hard with everyone won over the challenges I faced. That scene has so much poured into it.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': F.F. was doing absolutely everything they possibly could until the very end, and the way they disappear just like that was so sad. They were speaking normally until the end, so I could physically feel how Jolyne and the others felt as the ones who were left behind.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': That was an amazing directorial choice. And only for episode 22, my name was listed first in the ending credits. It felt like an offering from the director to F.F. and me, and I was really grateful.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Who are your favorite characters outside of your own?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I love Miraschon and Miu Miu and all the female characters, but my favorite is actually Emporio. He grew up in such a complicated environment in the prison, but is such a good boy! He's so sage, but still acts hisage sometimes, which is so cute. I especially love him from episode 25 onward—he's absolutely adorable.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Mine is D an G. He appears handsome and cool, but in episode 19 he cries, going, "I want my mama!" I remember Ryota Takeuchi having a difficult time recording that scene, too.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': How so?<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Sound Director Iwanami told him to cry like a spoiled baby, and I remember him saying,"Understood! That's definitely not in my repertoire, but I'll try my best!" And Iwanami-san was like, "I'm sure you've felt this way in real life, right?" (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Iwanami-san's having fun!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': And Takeuchi-san replied,"In real life...? I..I don't think so..." (laugh)" He was cornered!<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I wish I had been there to see that! But props to Takeuchi-san for being able to pass with flying colors in the end.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Araki Sensei's artwork is so amazing that at first I considered the series too grotesque and scary, but as I read on, I was completed sucked into the story. I love that it makes to want to keep turning the page.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': As a woman reading Stone Ocean for the first time, I was given so much courage by Jolyne. She doesn't let all these horrible things get to her, she doesn't lose the will to fight. Her unbreakable spirit really guided me. She's really the perfect role model.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Reading Stone Ocean makes me want to keep going!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Exactly! I think that's what makes the series so incredible.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Lastly, please provide a message for the fans.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': If you are able to enjoy Stone Ocean over and over again through the Blu-ray, that's perfect. The next set will ramp up with the fight against Father Pucchi and the appearance of even more formidable Stands. Our time with F.F. will be coming to an end, but Jolyne's battle continues with Emporio joining the gang in full force.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I would also love it if you relive F.F.'s last moments over and over again. Working onJoJo's had been a dream of mine, so I am so grateful to have met F.F. and I am honored to have been able to give voice to their life. This was an incredible experience for me as a voice actor. Sadly, F.F. and I are bidding the team farewell here, but the battle with Enrico Pucci awaits in the coming episodes, so I will be sure to watch over Jolyne, Ermes, and the others from the heavens.<br />

|Kenichi Suzuki|<br />
Interview with the Series Director of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the ending animation for the season.<br />
<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us your thought process behind the direction of the ending animation.'''<br />
<br />
The lyrics for "Distant Dreamer" matched so perfectly with Jolyne's sentiments, I wanted to make sure that the animation also allowed viewers to resonate with what Jolyne was feeling as she waged her battles. The ocean is not strapped down by a specific time or place, so the impression changes after each episode; it can be seen with the lens of hope and despair. This is the first ending in the JoJo's series where characters don't appear, and this might have surprised people, but I want people to consider why we chose not to depict anyone.<br />
<br />
'''How did you go on about animating the waves?'''<br />
<br />
It's all due to the hard work of [[Ryo Ohashi]], who was in charge of the ending animation VFX and cinematography. We were able to do waves because of his skill. It's very difficult to create natural things such as waves using CG, and we were even considering animating them by hand, but we saw Ohashi's waves during a test run for a different part of the show, and he helped realize my vision. I want the viewers to pay close attention to the waves hitting the shore, and those waves being washed away by the next.<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray, please.'''<br />
<br />
I know you might have seen this show on TV or via streaming, but the Blu-ray will allow for a uniquely high-quality viewing experience. The battles rage on as we approach the third Cour, episodes 25 through 38. Why not join the fight with Jolyne and gang?<br />
}}<br />
|Masanori Shino|<br />
Interview with the Character Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the character design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was the process leading up to participating in this project?'''<br />
<br />
It was through a character design competition. I had been asked to join since Phantom Blood, but my schedule never lined up, so I was able to join at last in this season. I had been buying and reading Stone Ocean even before I was asked to work on it, so I believe it was fate, and my wish came true.<br />
<br />
'''What was it like getting to design the characters?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne in particular has so many expression variations that I had a hard time in the beginning. She grows from a normal girl to a strong young woman, so her expressions are compeletely different in the beginning versus later in the season. After discussing with Director Suzuki, we decided to split her design sheet, one for the first half, one for the second half. We have two character design sheets just for Jolyne.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other requests from Director Suzuki that you recall?'''<br />
<br />
He requested that I streamline the line work as much as possible so that everyone could draw the characters. Of course, if we remove too much of the line work, it's no longer JoJo's, so he ended up asking me to add more lines back in. [laughs] I wanted to make sure the style followed the manga art as much as possible, so that was a challenging aspect.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about your character designing process.'''<br />
<br />
I start with the ears, actually. Every manga artist draws ears a different way, so getting the ears down is a big step toward grasping the character as a whole. Araki Sensei leans towards realism, but his ears are very manga-esque, so I find that very interesting.<br />
<br />
'''The JoJo's series has some very unique poses.'''<br />
<br />
I was concious of that as well, JoJo's bodies have a very particular form, so outlining the human form like normal would not bring out Araki Sensei's style. Everyone's proportions are unique, and Jolyne and gang never stand like normal people, so re-creating those poses was difficult. I also paid special attention to how characters looked lined up next to one another.<br />
<br />
'''There's quite the height difference between Jolyne and Emporio.'''<br />
<br />
Exactly. It's especially difficult striking the right head-and-body ratio. Since anime is horizontal, re-creating Emporio as is would cut him out of the screen because he's so short. And if you include his hat, Weather Report is like nine or ten heads tall, so lining him up with other characters tends to throw off the balance.<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell us more about how you struck the right balance?'''<br />
<br />
Since Jolyne wouldn't be Jolyne if we changed her proportions, I used her as the base for everyone else. For example, we made Emporio's ratio a tad taller than he is in the manga, just enough that it doesn't feel wrong.<br />
<br />
'''You were also one of the chief animation directors. How was that experience?'''<br />
<br />
My biggest regret is not being able to work on all of the episodes and not being able to check all the scenes. But I really love the scenes of Jolyne that I was able to work on in the first episode. Also, since shadows are drawn in a unique way in JoJo's, I went back and forth about how to go on about it for this season, but in the end we went with a more realistic style. I'm proud of the results, especially in the first episode.<br />
<br />
'''Do you have a favorite character out of the ones you designed?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne is my favorite, but I also like Gwess. I had the opportunity to draw Gwess for the anime, too, and I am really satisfied with my work! I liked her as a character when I was reading the manga, as well.<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
The art style, definitely. I personally adore the style in Diamond is Unbreakable, but Vento Aureo leaves the biggest impression. I used to follow the series in real time via Weekly Shonen Jump, and I finally began buying the manga volumes around the time Stone Ocean started up. This applies to all the seasons, but I love how we can never predict what will happen next.<br />
<br />
'''Finally, please leave a message for the fans who've purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
I mentioned Jolyne earlier, but I also really love Jotaro, especially this new perception of him as a father. "I want to make him as badass as possible" was always on my mind during production. So, I hope that my feelings are reflected in the way Jotaro is animated.<br />
}}<br />
|Shunichi Ishimoto|<br />
Interview with the Stand Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the Stand design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Please tell us a bit about how you came about working on this season.'''<br />
<br />
Since I had worked as chief animation director and secondary character designer on Golden Wind, I felt like I was done working on the JoJo's series. But Director Suzuki asked me to work on the Stand designs. I've been under his care since early on, when I was just starting out in my career, so I accepted the request.<br />
<br />
'''How did you feel when you were put in charge of Stand design?'''<br />
<br />
I felt the weight of expectation on me, for sure. This series has so many fans, and I wanted to make sure the designs were stable across the season.<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything you prepared for in order to work on the Stand designs?'''<br />
<br />
It was a challenge to figure out the designs for the Stone Ocean Stands, since they're so complex. We basically made sure that we all knew how each Stand worked, so that meant reading the manga, and asking Director Suzuki and even Hirohiko Araki Sensei if any questions came up. For example, Diver Down sometimes narrows its round eyes, and we had to check whether that meant it was changing facial expressions.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other points you found challenging?'''<br />
<br />
The amount of lines used in the Stand designs in the manga are part of what make them so beautiful, but we can't animate all of that line work. So, we made sure to toe the thin line between too little and too much, so that the Stands were still beautiful but not impossible to animate. If they were still too difficult, we edited them in post using photography.<br />
<br />
'''Which Stands were created with the help of photography?'''<br />
<br />
One example is the DNA sequence written on Whitesnake's chest. We couldn't hand draw all of that. Dragon's Dream is another one that used the help of 3D CG. Stone Free's threads were a combination of hand drawn and post-editing. If the threads were entangled in a difficult way, we edited them after animation.<br />
<br />
'''In your opinion, what are the most important things to think about when designing Stands?'''<br />
<br />
I think it's important to leave room for stylization to be added in the key animation. This makes sure the Stands move and look their best. Usually, the most important thing in anime is to make sure characters can be drawn by any member of the staff. But in JoJo's, we put notes in the design sheets so that the key animators can add their own direction, changing the flavor of shading or expressions, or adding highlights in key points.<br />
<br />
'''We see those often in the battle scenes.'''<br />
<br />
Yes, like in Kiss's brawl in episode 14, where Takeshi Morita was in charge of key animation. Some details in this scene purposefully deviate from the character design sheet, since the animation was closer to theatrical quality. I did something similar in episode 15, where I was the chief animation director.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any challenges acting as chief animation director?'''<br />
<br />
Episode 15 features three storylines, so it was a chore to animate all the characters, young and old, male and female. [laughs] It was also Anasui's first appearance, so the layout highlighted him. I also put in a lot of effort into DIO's appearance. He might be the enemy, but he's also a godlike presence to our villain Pucci, so we had to make sure he appeared dignified.<br />
<br />
'''Did you do any special preparations in order to animate the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
Reading the manga is a given, but we also study other non-animated works in order to absorb different techniques and knowledge. For Stone Ocean, I watched a lot of movies, like old thrillers, which helped me with the Stand designs. I also did face studies of people from different countries and researched what sort of makeup models used. These types of things really help us draw in a wider capacity.<br />
<br />
'''Thank you. Lastly, a message to the fans who purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
Please enjoy this season. I'd love it if you'd watch all the seasons straight through, from Phantom Blood to Stone Ocean. It's such a fun season, and so many scenes give you courage, so even if you're feeling down, I believe Stone Ocean will help you get back on your feet.<br />

|ichigo|<br />
Interview with the singer of the first opening of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], [[STONE OCEAN (Opening)|STONE OCEAN]], discussing ichigo's thoughts and reactions to the opening video.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was your reaction when you recieved the offer to sing the opening song for Stone Ocean?'''<br />
<br />
I ended up crying my eyes out from shock, elation and disbelief. It was such a tremendous honor that I truly thought it wasn't real until I saw the song on the streamed episode.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about the highlights of your song, "STONE OCEAN"'''<br />
<br />
It's a rock number with plenty of distortion and a melody that's distinctly reminiscent of the ''enka'' style. I think it reflects the story, which is highly individualistic in nature, but at the same time is like, "I will lay my life on the line to save my friends!"<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything in particular that you kept in mind when you were recording the song?'''<br />
<br />
I pictured an all-female band performing at a rock festival, so I made sure my expression felt like I was singing for a large audience. Because of that, the call-and-response in English was originally much wilder, but it ended up feeling too rugged, so I toned it down a notch. If I am ever to perform this song live, I'll do the rugged version! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''What is your favorite part in the opening animation? Tell us why, too!'''<br />
<br />
It's a blink-and-you-miss-it thing, but I got so excited when I noticed the moment when the weak-willed Atroe turns into F.F. And I love the way the credits start changing from episode 13 onward! Please take a look if you can. It's almost unreadable, its amazing! "ichigo from Kisida Kyodan & The Akebosi Rockets" was able to melt into the world of Stone Ocean!<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series?'''<br />
<br />
That no one is simply "a good person"! Everyone has their own sense of justice that burns in their soul, and that gives them an infallible sense of willpower. I love that we can garner courage from their words and actions. "I see! so I can just punch away what I don't like!" [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray set.'''<br />
<br />
We're making the physical product a family heirloom, right? I mean, I certainly will!<br />

A series of interviews released alongside the Blu-Ray boxes of the Stone Ocean Anime with the Japanese voice actors and production staff. The first interview was released on November 30, 2022 and other interviews followed with the subsequent Blu-Ray box releases. In addition, on 23 January 2024, additional interviews with the English dub cast were included in the [[VIZ Media]] release of the Blu-ray sets.<br />
<br />
==Interview==<br />
{{Tabber<br />
|Fairouz Ai|<br />
Interview with the voice actress of [[Jolyne Cujoh]], discussing her experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us how you got the part of Jolyne.'''<br />
<br />
I got the part via audition, but on the day of the audition, I distinctly remember crying the whole way home thinking I didn't get the role. I love Jolyne so much. Because of that, I was way too nervous during the audition and wasn't able to showcase my best self. I received a callback, which made me both surprised and happy — ''and'' it wasn't actually a callback, they brought me back in to tell me that I got the part! The staff had prepared a whole ordeal for me knowing I was such a huge fan of the ''JoJo'' series. Later on, they sent me a video of that day as a gift. I'm so grateful to them, because this audition really was an extremely important part of my life. I get to look back on the day my dream came true over and over again! After all, ''our memories give our cells courage!''<br />
<br />
'''How was the first day of recording?'''<br />
<br />
I was so overwhelmed about that fact that I'd be voicing my favorite Jolyne that I was more nervous than happy! I entered this industry wanting to voice one of Jolyne's allies, so I was so rickety the first day — with the ''flurry'' of retakes I had to do, I couldn't bring out Jolyne's wild and sensitive character. I had discussion after discussion with the sound director Iwanami-san in order to get her character right. As the recordings went on, though, I felt I was able to understand her and love her even more than I did before.<br />
<br />
'''How did it feel acting alongside your "father," Jotaro, for the first time?'''<br />
<br />
When I first heard Jotaro's voice recording the third episode, I was immediately like, "It's just like the anime!" After that, I received lots of advice from Daisuke Ono about how to voice the "ORA ORA", and I am so grateful for that. He's like a father to me, and I adore him!<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about working with Ermes and F.F.'''<br />
<br />
I've always admired Mutsumi Tamura (Ermes), but I was surprised at how loud and powerful her voice was. Episode 8 in particular was a heated battle with F.F., and we were all just shouting as loudly as we possibly could. (laughs) We were all riled up during recording, which I think ended up sounding good in the actual episode. Compared to ''Golden Wind'', ''Stone Ocean'' has way more female characters, so if we aren't careful, our voices will end up sounding too shrill. We made sure that our voices were passionate and good on the ears. And F.F. is the character I relate to the most, so when they finally appeared in episode 8, I was like "I finally get to meet you!" My heart was full. And Mariya Ise's performance of F.F. is so nuanced, switching smoothly from the creepy mutant to the cute mascot character. Even though F.F.'s character does a 180-degree turn from the beginning to the end, her performance gives them continuity; we can see they're still the same character. F.F.'s voice when we first meet them is processed in post, but even during recording, Mariya Ise's voice performance was so good that I felt like it didn't need to be edited at all!<br />
<br />
'''Was there a specific moment in the first cour (episode 1 through 12) where you felt your performance as Jolyne stood out?'''<br />
<br />
The part in episode 5 where Jolyne trips, and it seems like Jotaro is extending a hand to help her up, but he's actually handing her the pendant. I also had a time when I did not get along with my father, so I really understood how Jolyne felt in that moment, and I was able to bring a daughter's straightforward anger to her father's disappointing action. I think it was pretty real! That scene was also in the audition, so I had a lot of practice. It ended up becoming a very important scene for me.<br />
<br />
'''We heard that you listen to the opening and ending songs every day.'''<br />
<br />
I listen to the opening, "STONE OCEAN", in the mornings after I wake up, and I listen to the ending, "Distant Dreamer", in the evenings on the way home. I love them so much, they're a part of my daily life now! (laughs) I especially love the opening animation that Kamikaze Douga produced — Jolyne's thread connecting to the other JoJo's is awesome. The bright colors make me think, "Prison life doesn't seem too bad!"<br />
<br />
'''How did the people around you react to your participation in this project?'''<br />
<br />
A friend of mine from my days as a student contacted me and told me that my acting has gotten better! We used to read ''JoJo's'' aloud together. It made me really happy to see a reaction from someone I knew in real life. I had wanted to be a voice actor since back then, and I remember telling them, "You should get my signature now while you can!" And I was right! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''And lastly, a message for the fans, please.'''<br />
<br />
The ''JoJo's'' anime is chock-full of directorial choices that move fans of the original manga. I hope you watch this over and over again and discover something new each time. This season holds a lot of references to Stardust Crusaders, and we also get to see Ermes, F.F., and Enrico Pucci's backstories, so I'd be happy if you get to understand them on a deeper level.<br />

|Mutsumi Tamura & Mariya Ise|<br />
Interview with the voice actresses for [[Ermes Costello]] and [[Foo Fighters]], discussing their experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''First off, tell us about the audition process.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': As soon as I heard about the Phantom Blood anime adaptation, I asked my agency to let me audition for Stone Ocean if it ever got adapted. When the time finally came, I was so excited to see who I'd end up auditioning for. I went with Ermes—considering my experience and strengths, I felt she'd be the best fit for me. I was nervous, but at the same time, I was able to audition with confidence. When I had read the series as a student, I thought she was a difficult character to grasp, but now I feel like I can sympathize with her. But I've always felt that F.F. is impossible to grasp... <br />
<br />
'''ISE''': You tell me that a lot! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I couldn't imagine what F.F. would sound like. So that's one character I did not want to audition for.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I was originally offered to audition as Jolyne, but ended up auditioning for F.F., and it was definitely a challenge trying to get a hold of them.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Right? F.F. is difficult to figure out!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes, but I thought this would be my only chance, that if I didn't try, I wouldn't get to be in Stone Ocean, so I did my absolute best. I had loved JoJo's as a college student, so I've always wanted to be involved somehow. When I heard about the Stone Ocean anime adaptation, I thought, "This is it!" When I was preparing to audition as Jolyne, I watched and read all the previous seasons, so I was very prepared for the role of F.F. as well. They're rational and considerate, but also very cute, so I knew they'd be worth the effort. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''How was the recording experience for this series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': In the first episode, Ermes and Jolyne have a conversation in the prison van. Based on the context, I asked the sound director Iwanami if I should do more of a whisper, but I was shocked when told me, "JoJo's doesn't do whispers! It seems Fairouz Ai (nickname: Fai-chan) was also not aware of this, so we both decided to carve those words into our hearts. [laughs] So we speak in a normal volume in that scene, but we're going for a whisper in vibes only.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Since F.F. doesn't appear until episode 8, I was very curious about the atmosphere of the recording booth. I recall asking you about it when we were together for a different project.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I remember! You also asked me about what kind of person Fai-chan is.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I wanted to prepare, since I had never worked with her before. And you told me that she's bubbly and a JoJo's expert, and that recording has been great so far, so I was relieved. And meeting her in person, she's like a walking spiritual power spot! (laughs) <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Indeed she is. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': She's such a bubbly human, and she radiates positive energy. When we met, she was like, "Nice to meet you! I really love the projects you've been in!" and my walls instantly went down! Thanks to her, I was able to join mid-production with ease. F.F. first appears as the enemy Stand, but recording went so smoothly. My voice has been altered there, but my performance is pretty much as is!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The two of you don't appear together too often.''' <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': That's right. After episode 14, we basically don't see each other, since Ermes is forced to retire due to injury.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': From there it's just Jolyne, F.F., Weather Report, and Anasui. <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I felt so left out when I saw episode 22! [laughs] But Weather Report, well... As a viewer, I was shocked by what F.F. brought in.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Oh, that! Me, too. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Like, seriously?! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I completely forgot about it, even though I had read through the story and even recorded the lines! We don't see the completed animation until it shows up on streaming or broadcast, so it leaves a completely different impression. <br />

|Kenichi Suzuki|<br />
Interview with the Series Director of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the ending animation for the season.<br />
<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us your thought process behind the direction of the ending animation.'''<br />
<br />
The lyrics for "Distant Dreamer" matched so perfectly with Jolyne's sentiments, I wanted to make sure that the animation also allowed viewers to resonate with what Jolyne was feeling as she waged her battles. The ocean is not strapped down by a specific time or place, so the impression changes after each episode; it can be seen with the lens of hope and despair. This is the first ending in the JoJo's series where characters don't appear, and this might have surprised people, but I want people to consider why we chose not to depict anyone.<br />
<br />
'''How did you go on about animating the waves?'''<br />
<br />
It's all due to the hard work of [[Ryo Ohashi]], who was in charge of the ending animation VFX and cinematography. We were able to do waves because of his skill. It's very difficult to create natural things such as waves using CG, and we were even considering animating them by hand, but we saw Ohashi's waves during a test run for a different part of the show, and he helped realize my vision. I want the viewers to pay close attention to the waves hitting the shore, and those waves being washed away by the next.<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray, please.'''<br />
<br />
I know you might have seen this show on TV or via streaming, but the Blu-ray will allow for a uniquely high-quality viewing experience. The battles rage on as we approach the third Cour, episodes 25 through 38. Why not join the fight with Jolyne and gang?<br />

|Masanori Shino|<br />
Interview with the Character Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the character design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was the process leading up to participating in this project?'''<br />
<br />
It was through a character design competition. I had been asked to join since Phantom Blood, but my schedule never lined up, so I was able to join at last in this season. I had been buying and reading Stone Ocean even before I was asked to work on it, so I believe it was fate, and my wish came true.<br />
<br />
'''What was it like getting to design the characters?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne in particular has so many expression variations that I had a hard time in the beginning. She grows from a normal girl to a strong young woman, so her expressions are compeletely different in the beginning versus later in the season. After discussing with Director Suzuki, we decided to split her design sheet, one for the first half, one for the second half. We have two character design sheets just for Jolyne.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other requests from Director Suzuki that you recall?'''<br />
<br />
He requested that I streamline the line work as much as possible so that everyone could draw the characters. Of course, if we remove too much of the line work, it's no longer JoJo's, so he ended up asking me to add more lines back in. [laughs] I wanted to make sure the style followed the manga art as much as possible, so that was a challenging aspect.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about your character designing process.'''<br />
<br />
I start with the ears, actually. Every manga artist draws ears a different way, so getting the ears down is a big step toward grasping the character as a whole. Araki Sensei leans towards realism, but his ears are very manga-esque, so I find that very interesting.<br />
<br />
'''The JoJo's series has some very unique poses.'''<br />
<br />
I was concious of that as well, JoJo's bodies have a very particular form, so outlining the human form like normal would not bring out Araki Sensei's style. Everyone's proportions are unique, and Jolyne and gang never stand like normal people, so re-creating those poses was difficult. I also paid special attention to how characters looked lined up next to one another.<br />
<br />
'''There's quite the height difference between Jolyne and Emporio.'''<br />
<br />
Exactly. It's especially difficult striking the right head-and-body ratio. Since anime is horizontal, re-creating Emporio as is would cut him out of the screen because he's so short. And if you include his hat, Weather Report is like nine or ten heads tall, so lining him up with other characters tends to throw off the balance.<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell us more about how you struck the right balance?'''<br />
<br />
Since Jolyne wouldn't be Jolyne if we changed her proportions, I used her as the base for everyone else. For example, we made Emporio's ratio a tad taller than he is in the manga, just enough that it doesn't feel wrong.<br />
<br />
'''You were also one of the chief animation directors. How was that experience?'''<br />
<br />
My biggest regret is not being able to work on all of the episodes and not being able to check all the scenes. But I really love the scenes of Jolyne that I was able to work on in the first episode. Also, since shadows are drawn in a unique way in JoJo's, I went back and forth about how to go on about it for this season, but in the end we went with a more realistic style. I'm proud of the results, especially in the first episode.<br />
<br />
'''Do you have a favorite character out of the ones you designed?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne is my favorite, but I also like Gwess. I had the opportunity to draw Gwess for the anime, too, and I am really satisfied with my work! I liked her as a character when I was reading the manga, as well.<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
The art style, definitely. I personally adore the style in Diamond is Unbreakable, but Vento Aureo leaves the biggest impression. I used to follow the series in real time via Weekly Shonen Jump, and I finally began buying the manga volumes around the time Stone Ocean started up. This applies to all the seasons, but I love how we can never predict what will happen next.<br />
<br />
'''Finally, please leave a message for the fans who've purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
I mentioned Jolyne earlier, but I also really love Jotaro, especially this new perception of him as a father. "I want to make him as badass as possible" was always on my mind during production. So, I hope that my feelings are reflected in the way Jotaro is animated.<br />
}}<br />
|Shunichi Ishimoto|<br />
Interview with the Stand Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the Stand design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Please tell us a bit about how you came about working on this season.'''<br />
<br />
Since I had worked as chief animation director and secondary character designer on Golden Wind, I felt like I was done working on the JoJo's series. But Director Suzuki asked me to work on the Stand designs. I've been under his care since early on, when I was just starting out in my career, so I accepted the request.<br />
<br />
'''How did you feel when you were put in charge of Stand design?'''<br />
<br />
I felt the weight of expectation on me, for sure. This series has so many fans, and I wanted to make sure the designs were stable across the season.<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything you prepared for in order to work on the Stand designs?'''<br />
<br />
It was a challenge to figure out the designs for the Stone Ocean Stands, since they're so complex. We basically made sure that we all knew how each Stand worked, so that meant reading the manga, and asking Director Suzuki and even Hirohiko Araki Sensei if any questions came up. For example, Diver Down sometimes narrows its round eyes, and we had to check whether that meant it was changing facial expressions.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other points you found challenging?'''<br />
<br />
The amount of lines used in the Stand designs in the manga are part of what make them so beautiful, but we can't animate all of that line work. So, we made sure to toe the thin line between too little and too much, so that the Stands were still beautiful but not impossible to animate. If they were still too difficult, we edited them in post using photography.<br />
<br />
'''Which Stands were created with the help of photography?'''<br />
<br />
One example is the DNA sequence written on Whitesnake's chest. We couldn't hand draw all of that. Dragon's Dream is another one that used the help of 3D CG. Stone Free's threads were a combination of hand drawn and post-editing. If the threads were entangled in a difficult way, we edited them after animation.<br />
<br />
'''In your opinion, what are the most important things to think about when designing Stands?'''<br />
<br />
I think it's important to leave room for stylization to be added in the key animation. This makes sure the Stands move and look their best. Usually, the most important thing in anime is to make sure characters can be drawn by any member of the staff. But in JoJo's, we put notes in the design sheets so that the key animators can add their own direction, changing the flavor of shading or expressions, or adding highlights in key points.<br />
<br />
'''We see those often in the battle scenes.'''<br />
<br />
Yes, like in Kiss's brawl in episode 14, where Takeshi Morita was in charge of key animation. Some details in this scene purposefully deviate from the character design sheet, since the animation was closer to theatrical quality. I did something similar in episode 15, where I was the chief animation director.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any challenges acting as chief animation director?'''<br />
<br />
Episode 15 features three storylines, so it was a chore to animate all the characters, young and old, male and female. [laughs] It was also Anasui's first appearance, so the layout highlighted him. I also put in a lot of effort into DIO's appearance. He might be the enemy, but he's also a godlike presence to our villain Pucci, so we had to make sure he appeared dignified.<br />
<br />
'''Did you do any special preparations in order to animate the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
Reading the manga is a given, but we also study other non-animated works in order to absorb different techniques and knowledge. For Stone Ocean, I watched a lot of movies, like old thrillers, which helped me with the Stand designs. I also did face studies of people from different countries and researched what sort of makeup models used. These types of things really help us draw in a wider capacity.<br />
<br />
'''Thank you. Lastly, a message to the fans who purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
Please enjoy this season. I'd love it if you'd watch all the seasons straight through, from Phantom Blood to Stone Ocean. It's such a fun season, and so many scenes give you courage, so even if you're feeling down, I believe Stone Ocean will help you get back on your feet.<br />

|ichigo|<br />
Interview with the singer of the first opening of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], [[STONE OCEAN (Opening)|STONE OCEAN]], discussing ichigo's thoughts and reactions to the opening video.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was your reaction when you recieved the offer to sing the opening song for Stone Ocean?'''<br />
<br />
I ended up crying my eyes out from shock, elation and disbelief. It was such a tremendous honor that I truly thought it wasn't real until I saw the song on the streamed episode.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about the highlights of your song, "STONE OCEAN"'''<br />
<br />
It's a rock number with plenty of distortion and a melody that's distinctly reminiscent of the ''enka'' style. I think it reflects the story, which is highly individualistic in nature, but at the same time is like, "I will lay my life on the line to save my friends!"<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything in particular that you kept in mind when you were recording the song?'''<br />
<br />
I pictured an all-female band performing at a rock festival, so I made sure my expression felt like I was singing for a large audience. Because of that, the call-and-response in English was originally much wilder, but it ended up feeling too rugged, so I toned it down a notch. If I am ever to perform this song live, I'll do the rugged version! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''What is your favorite part in the opening animation? Tell us why, too!'''<br />
<br />
It's a blink-and-you-miss-it thing, but I got so excited when I noticed the moment when the weak-willed Atroe turns into F.F. And I love the way the credits start changing from episode 13 onward! Please take a look if you can. It's almost unreadable, its amazing! "ichigo from Kisida Kyodan & The Akebosi Rockets" was able to melt into the world of Stone Ocean!<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series?'''<br />
<br />
That no one is simply "a good person"! Everyone has their own sense of justice that burns in their soul, and that gives them an infallible sense of willpower. I love that we can garner courage from their words and actions. "I see! so I can just punch away what I don't like!" [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray set.'''<br />
<br />
We're making the physical product a family heirloom, right? I mean, I certainly will!<br />

A series of interviews released alongside the Blu-Ray boxes of the Stone Ocean Anime with the Japanese voice actors and production staff. The first interview was released on November 30, 2022 and other interviews followed with the subsequent Blu-Ray box releases. In addition, on 23 January 2024, additional interviews with the English dub cast were included in the [[VIZ Media]] release of the Blu-ray sets.<br />
<br />
==Interview==<br />
{{Tabber<br />
|Fairouz Ai|<br />
Interview with the voice actress of [[Jolyne Cujoh]], discussing her experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us how you got the part of Jolyne.'''<br />
<br />
I got the part via audition, but on the day of the audition, I distinctly remember crying the whole way home thinking I didn't get the role. I love Jolyne so much. Because of that, I was way too nervous during the audition and wasn't able to showcase my best self. I received a callback, which made me both surprised and happy — ''and'' it wasn't actually a callback, they brought me back in to tell me that I got the part! The staff had prepared a whole ordeal for me knowing I was such a huge fan of the ''JoJo'' series. Later on, they sent me a video of that day as a gift. I'm so grateful to them, because this audition really was an extremely important part of my life. I get to look back on the day my dream came true over and over again! After all, ''our memories give our cells courage!''<br />
<br />
'''How was the first day of recording?'''<br />
<br />
I was so overwhelmed about that fact that I'd be voicing my favorite Jolyne that I was more nervous than happy! I entered this industry wanting to voice one of Jolyne's allies, so I was so rickety the first day — with the ''flurry'' of retakes I had to do, I couldn't bring out Jolyne's wild and sensitive character. I had discussion after discussion with the sound director Iwanami-san in order to get her character right. As the recordings went on, though, I felt I was able to understand her and love her even more than I did before.<br />
<br />
'''How did it feel acting alongside your "father," Jotaro, for the first time?'''<br />
<br />
When I first heard Jotaro's voice recording the third episode, I was immediately like, "It's just like the anime!" After that, I received lots of advice from Daisuke Ono about how to voice the "ORA ORA", and I am so grateful for that. He's like a father to me, and I adore him!<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about working with Ermes and F.F.'''<br />
<br />
I've always admired Mutsumi Tamura (Ermes), but I was surprised at how loud and powerful her voice was. Episode 8 in particular was a heated battle with F.F., and we were all just shouting as loudly as we possibly could. (laughs) We were all riled up during recording, which I think ended up sounding good in the actual episode. Compared to ''Golden Wind'', ''Stone Ocean'' has way more female characters, so if we aren't careful, our voices will end up sounding too shrill. We made sure that our voices were passionate and good on the ears. And F.F. is the character I relate to the most, so when they finally appeared in episode 8, I was like "I finally get to meet you!" My heart was full. And Mariya Ise's performance of F.F. is so nuanced, switching smoothly from the creepy mutant to the cute mascot character. Even though F.F.'s character does a 180-degree turn from the beginning to the end, her performance gives them continuity; we can see they're still the same character. F.F.'s voice when we first meet them is processed in post, but even during recording, Mariya Ise's voice performance was so good that I felt like it didn't need to be edited at all!<br />
<br />
'''Was there a specific moment in the first cour (episode 1 through 12) where you felt your performance as Jolyne stood out?'''<br />
<br />
The part in episode 5 where Jolyne trips, and it seems like Jotaro is extending a hand to help her up, but he's actually handing her the pendant. I also had a time when I did not get along with my father, so I really understood how Jolyne felt in that moment, and I was able to bring a daughter's straightforward anger to her father's disappointing action. I think it was pretty real! That scene was also in the audition, so I had a lot of practice. It ended up becoming a very important scene for me.<br />
<br />
'''We heard that you listen to the opening and ending songs every day.'''<br />
<br />
I listen to the opening, "STONE OCEAN", in the mornings after I wake up, and I listen to the ending, "Distant Dreamer", in the evenings on the way home. I love them so much, they're a part of my daily life now! (laughs) I especially love the opening animation that Kamikaze Douga produced — Jolyne's thread connecting to the other JoJo's is awesome. The bright colors make me think, "Prison life doesn't seem too bad!"<br />
<br />
'''How did the people around you react to your participation in this project?'''<br />
<br />
A friend of mine from my days as a student contacted me and told me that my acting has gotten better! We used to read ''JoJo's'' aloud together. It made me really happy to see a reaction from someone I knew in real life. I had wanted to be a voice actor since back then, and I remember telling them, "You should get my signature now while you can!" And I was right! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''And lastly, a message for the fans, please.'''<br />
<br />
The ''JoJo's'' anime is chock-full of directorial choices that move fans of the original manga. I hope you watch this over and over again and discover something new each time. This season holds a lot of references to Stardust Crusaders, and we also get to see Ermes, F.F., and Enrico Pucci's backstories, so I'd be happy if you get to understand them on a deeper level.<br />

|Mutsumi Tamura & Mariya Ise|<br />
Interview with the voice actresses for [[Ermes Costello]] and [[Foo Fighters]], discussing their experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''First off, tell us about the audition process.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': As soon as I heard about the Phantom Blood anime adaptation, I asked my agency to let me audition for Stone Ocean if it ever got adapted. When the time finally came, I was so excited to see who I'd end up auditioning for. I went with Ermes—considering my experience and strengths, I felt she'd be the best fit for me. I was nervous, but at the same time, I was able to audition with confidence. When I had read the series as a student, I thought she was a difficult character to grasp, but now I feel like I can sympathize with her. But I've always felt that F.F. is impossible to grasp... <br />
<br />
'''ISE''': You tell me that a lot! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I couldn't imagine what F.F. would sound like. So that's one character I did not want to audition for.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I was originally offered to audition as Jolyne, but ended up auditioning for F.F., and it was definitely a challenge trying to get a hold of them.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Right? F.F. is difficult to figure out!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes, but I thought this would be my only chance, that if I didn't try, I wouldn't get to be in Stone Ocean, so I did my absolute best. I had loved JoJo's as a college student, so I've always wanted to be involved somehow. When I heard about the Stone Ocean anime adaptation, I thought, "This is it!" When I was preparing to audition as Jolyne, I watched and read all the previous seasons, so I was very prepared for the role of F.F. as well. They're rational and considerate, but also very cute, so I knew they'd be worth the effort. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''How was the recording experience for this series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': In the first episode, Ermes and Jolyne have a conversa tion in the prison van. Based on th context, I asked the sound director Iwanami if I should do more of a whisper, but I was shocked when told me,"JoJo's doesn't do whispers! It seems Fairouz Ai (nickname: Fai-chan) was also not aware of this, so we both decided to carve those words into our hearts. [laughs] So we speak in a normal volume in that scene, but we're going for a whisper in vibes only.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Since F.F. doesn't appear until episode 8, I was very curious about the atmosphere of the recording booth. I recall asking you about it when we were together for a different project.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I remember! You also asked me about what kind of person Fai-chan is.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I wanted to prepare, since I had never worked with her before. And you told me that she's bubbly and a JoJo's expert, and that recording has been great so far, so I was relieved. And meeting her in person, she's like a walking spiritual power spot! (laughs) <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Indeed she is. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': She's such a bubbly human, and she radiates positive energy. When we met, she was like, "Nice to meet you! I really love the projects you've been in!" and my walls instantly went down! Thanks to her, I was able to join mid-production with ease. F.F. first appears as the enemy Stand, but recording went so smoothly. My voice has been altered there, but my performance is pretty much as is!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The two of you don't appear together too often.''' <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': That's right. After episode 14, we basically don't see each other, since Ermes is forced to retire due to injury.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': From there it's just Jolyne, F.F., Weather Report, and Anasui. <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I felt so left out when I saw episode 22! [laughs] But Weather Forecast, well... As a viewer, I was shocked by what F.F. brought in.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Oh, that! Me, too. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Like, seriously?! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I completely forgot about it, even though I had read through the story and even recorded the lines! We don't see the completed animation until it shows up on streaming or broadcast, so it leaves a completely different impression. <br />

The ocean is not strapped down by a specific time or place, so the impression changes after each episode; it can be seen with the lens of hope and despair. This is the first ending in the JoJo's series where characters don't appear, and this might have surprised people, but I want people to consider why we chose not to depict anyone.<br />
<br />
'''How did you go on about animating the waves?'''<br />
<br />
It's all due to the hard work of [[Ryo Ohashi]], who was in charge of the ending animation VFX and cinematography. We were able to do waves because of his skill. It's very difficult to create natural things such as waves using CG, and we were even considering animating them by hand, but we saw Ohashi's waves during a test run for a different part of the show, and he helped realize my vision.

I start with the ears, actually. Every manga artist draws ears a different way, so getting the ears down is a big step toward grasping the character as a whole. Araki Sensei leans towards realism, but his ears are very manga-esque, so I find that very interesting.<br />
<br />
'''The JoJo's series has some very unique poses.'''<br />
<br />
I was concious of that as well, JoJo's bodies have a very particular form, so outlining the human form like normal would not bring out Araki Sensei's style. Everyone's proportions are unique, and Jolyne and gang never stand like normal people, so re-creating those poses was difficult. I also paid special attention to how characters looked lined up next to one another.<br />
<br />
'''There's quite the height difference between Jolyne and Emporio.'''<br />
<br />
Exactly. It's especially difficult striking the right head-and-body ratio. Since anime is horizontal, re-creating Emporio as is would cut him out of the screen because he's so short. And if you include his hat, Weather Report is like nine or ten heads tall, so lining him up with other characters tends to throw off the balance.<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell us more about how you struck the right balance?'''<br />
<br />
Since Jolyne wouldn't be Jolyne if we changed her proportions, I used her as the base for everyone else. For example, we made Emporio's ratio a tad taller than he is in the manga, just enough that it doesn't feel wrong.<br />
<br />
'''You were also one of the chief animation directors. How was that experience?'''<br />
<br />
My biggest regret is not being able to work on all of the episodes and not being able to check all the scenes. But I really love the scenes of Jolyne that I was able to work on in the first episode. Also, since shadows are drawn in a unique way in JoJo's, I went back and forth about how to go on about it for this season, but in the end we went with a more realistic style. I'm proud of the results, especially in the first episode.<br />
<br />
'''Do you have a favorite character out of the ones you designed?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne is my favorite, but I also like Gwess. I had the opportunity to draw Gwess for the anime, too, and I am really satisfied with my work! I liked her as a character when I was reading the manga, as well.<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
The art style, definitely. I personally adore the style in Diamond is Unbreakable, but Vento Aureo leaves the biggest impression. I used to follow the series in real time via Weekly Shonen Jump, and I finally began buying the manga volumes around the time Stone Ocean started up. This applies to all the seasons, but I love how we can never predict what will happen next.<br />
<br />
'''Finally, please leave a message for the fans who've purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
I mentioned Jolyne earlier, but I also really love Jotaro, especially this new perception of him as a father. "I want to make him as badass as possible" was always on my mind during production. So, I hope that my feelings are reflected in the way Jotaro is animated.<br />

|Shunichi Ishimoto|<br />
Interview with the Stand Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the Stand design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Please tell us a bit about how you came about working on this season.'''<br />
<br />
Since I had worked as chief animation director and secondary character designer on Golden Wind, I felt like I was done working on the JoJo's series. But Director Suzuki asked me to work on the Stand designs. I've been under his care since early on, when I was just starting out in my career, so I accepted the request.<br />
<br />
'''How did you feel when you were put in charge of Stand design?'''<br />
<br />
I felt the weight of expectation on me, for sure. This series has so many fans, and I wanted to make sure the designs were stable across the season.<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything you prepared for in order to work on the Stand designs?'''<br />
<br />
It was a challenge to figure out the designs for the Stone Ocean Stands, since they're so complex. We basically made sure that we all knew how each Stand worked, so that meant reading the manga, and asking Director Suzuki and even Hirohiko Araki Sensei if any questions came up. For example, Diver Down sometimes narrows its round eyes, and we had to check whether that meant it was changing facial expressions.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other points you found challenging?'''<br />
<br />
The amount of lines used in the Stand designs in the manga are part of what make them so beautiful, but we can't animate all of that line work. So, we made sure to toe the thin line between too little and too much, so that the Stands were still beautiful but not impossible to animate. If they were still too difficult, we edited them in post using photography.<br />
<br />
'''Which Stands were created with the help of photography?'''<br />
<br />
One example is the DNA sequence written on Whitesnake's chest. We couldn't hand draw all of that. Dragon's Dream is another one that used the help of 3D CG. Stone Free's threads were a combination of hand drawn and post-editing. If the threads were entangled in a difficult way, we edited them after animation.<br />
<br />
'''In your opinion, what are the most important things to think about when designing Stands?'''<br />
<br />
I think it's important to leave room for stylization to be added in the key animation. This makes sure the Stands move and look their best. Usually, the most important thing in anime is to make sure characters can be drawn by any member of the staff. But in JoJo's, we put notes in the design sheets so that the key animators can add their own direction, changing the flavor of shading or expressions, or adding highlights in key points.<br />
<br />
'''We see those often in the battle scenes.'''<br />
<br />
Yes, like in Kiss's brawl in episode 14, where Takeshi Morita was in charge of key animation. Some details in this scene purposefully deviate from the character design sheet, since the animation was closer to theatrical quality. I did something similar in episode 15, where I was the chief animation director.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any challenges acting as chief animation director?'''<br />
<br />
Episode 15 features three storylines, so it was a chore to animate all the characters, young and old, male and female. [laughs] It was also Anasui's first appearance, so the layout highlighted him. I also put in a lot of effort into DIO's appearance. He might be the enemy, but he's also a godlike presence to our villain Pucci, so we had to make sure he appeared dignified.<br />
<br />
'''Did you do any special preparations in order to animate the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
Reading the manga is a given, but we also study other non-animated works in order to absorb different techniques and knowledge. For Stone Ocean, I watched a lot of movies, like old thrillers, which helped me with the Stand designs. I also did face studies of people from different countries and researched what sort of makeup models used. These types of things really help us draw in a wider capacity.<br />
<br />
'''Thank you. Lastly, a message to the fans who purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
Please enjoy this season. I'd love it if you'd watch all the seasons straight through, from Phantom Blood to Stone Ocean. It's such a fun season, and so many scenes give you courage, so even if you're feeling down, I believe Stone Ocean will help you get back on your feet.<br />

|ichigo|<br />
Interview with the singer of the first opening of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], [[STONE OCEAN (Opening)|STONE OCEAN]], discussing ichigo's thoughts and reactions to the opening video.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was your reaction when you recieved the offer to sing the opening song for Stone Ocean?'''<br />
<br />
I ended up crying my eyes out from shock, elation and disbelief. It was such a tremendous honor that I truly thought it wasn't real until I saw the song on the streamed episode.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about the highlights of your song, "STONE OCEAN"'''<br />
<br />
It's a rock number with plenty of distortion and a melody that's distinctly reminiscent of the ''enka'' style. I think it reflects the story, which is highly individualistic in nature, but at the same time is like, "I will lay my life on the line to save my friends!"<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything in particular that you kept in mind when you were recording the song?'''<br />
<br />
I pictured an all-female band performing at a rock festival, so I made sure my expression felt like I was singing for a large audience. Because of that, the call-and-response in English was originally much wilder, but it ended up feeling too rugged, so I toned it down a notch. If I am ever to perform this song live, I'll do the rugged version! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''What is your favorite part in the opening animation? Tell us why, too!'''<br />
<br />
It's a blink-and-you-miss-it thing, but I got so excited when I noticed the moment when the weak-willed Atroe turns into F.F. And I love the way the credits start changing from episode 13 onward! Please take a look if you can. It's almost unreadable, its amazing! "ichigo from Kisida Kyodan & The Akebosi Rockets" was able to melt into the world of Stone Ocean!<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series?'''<br />
<br />
That no one is simply "a good person"! Everyone has their own sense of justice that burns in their soul, and that gives them an infallible sense of willpower. I love that we can garner courage from their words and actions. "I see! so I can just punch away what I don't like!" [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray set.'''<br />
<br />
We're making the physical product a family heirloom, right? I mean, I certainly will!<br />

A series of interviews released alongside the Blu-Ray boxes of the Stone Ocean Anime with the Japanese voice actors and production staff. The first interview was released on November 30, 2022 and other interviews followed with the subsequent Blu-Ray box releases. In addition, on 23 January 2024, additional interviews with the English dub cast were included in the [[VIZ Media]] release of the Blu-ray sets.<br />

==Interview==<br />
{{Tabber<br />
|Fairouz Ai|<br />
Interview with the voice actress of [[Jolyne Cujoh]], discussing her experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us how you got the part of Jolyne.'''<br />
<br />
I got the part via audition, but on the day of the audition, I distinctly remember crying the whole way home thinking I didn't get the role. I love Jolyne so much. Because of that, I was way too nervous during the audition and wasn't able to showcase my best self. I received a callback, which made me both surprised and happy — ''and'' it wasn't actually a callback, they brought me back in to tell me that I got the part! The staff had prepared a whole ordeal for me knowing I was such a huge fan of the ''JoJo'' series. Later on, they sent me a video of that day as a gift. I'm so grateful to them, because this audition really was an extremely important part of my life. I get to look back on the day my dream came true over and over again! After all, ''our memories give our cells courage!''<br />
<br />
'''How was the first day of recording?'''<br />
<br />
I was so overwhelmed about that fact that I'd be voicing my favorite Jolyne that I was more nervous than happy! I entered this industry wanting to voice one of Jolyne's allies, so I was so rickety the first day — with the ''flurry'' of retakes I had to do, I couldn't bring out Jolyne's wild and sensitive character. I had discussion after discussion with the sound director Iwanami-san in order to get her character right. As the recordings went on, though, I felt I was able to understand her and love her even more than I did before.<br />
<br />
'''How did it feel acting alongside your "father," Jotaro, for the first time?'''<br />
<br />
When I first heard Jotaro's voice recording the third episode, I was immediately like, "It's just like the anime!" After that, I received lots of advice from Daisuke Ono about how to voice the "ORA ORA", and I am so grateful for that. He's like a father to me, and I adore him!<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about working with Ermes and F.F.'''<br />
<br />
I've always admired Mutsumi Tamura (Ermes), but I was surprised at how loud and powerful her voice was. Episode 8 in particular was a heated battle with F.F., and we were all just shouting as loudly as we possibly could. (laughs) We were all riled up during recording, which I think ended up sounding good in the actual episode. Compared to ''Golden Wind'', ''Stone Ocean'' has way more female characters, so if we aren't careful, our voices will end up sounding too shrill. We made sure that our voices were passionate and good on the ears. And F.F. is the character I relate to the most, so when they finally appeared in episode 8, I was like "I finally get to meet you!" My heart was full. And Mariya Ise's performance of F.F. is so nuanced, switching smoothly from the creepy mutant to the cute mascot character. Even though F.F.'s character does a 180-degree turn from the beginning to the end, her performance gives them continuity; we can see they're still the same character. F.F.'s voice when we first meet them is processed in post, but even during recording, Mariya Ise's voice performance was so good that I felt like it didn't need to be edited at all!<br />
<br />
'''Was there a specific moment in the first cour (episode 1 through 12) where you felt your performance as Jolyne stood out?'''<br />
<br />
The part in episode 5 where Jolyne trips, and it seems like Jotaro is extending a hand to help her up, but he's actually handing her the pendant. I also had a time when I did not get along with my father, so I really understood how Jolyne felt in that moment, and I was able to bring a daughter's straightforward anger to her father's disappointing action. I think it was pretty real! That scene was also in the audition, so I had a lot of practice. It ended up becoming a very important scene for me.<br />
<br />
'''We heard that you listen to the opening and ending songs every day.'''<br />
<br />
I listen to the opening, "STONE OCEAN", in the mornings after I wake up, and I listen to the ending, "Distant Dreamer", in the evenings on the way home. I love them so much, they're a part of my daily life now! (laughs) I especially love the opening animation that Kamikaze Douga produced — Jolyne's thread connecting to the other JoJo's is awesome. The bright colors make me think, "Prison life doesn't seem too bad!"<br />
<br />
'''How did the people around you react to your participation in this project?'''<br />
<br />
A friend of mine from my days as a student contacted me and told me that my acting has gotten better! We used to read ''JoJo's'' aloud together. It made me really happy to see a reaction from someone I knew in real life. I had wanted to be a voice actor since back then, and I remember telling them, "You should get my signature now while you can!" And I was right! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''And lastly, a message for the fans, please.'''<br />
<br />
The ''JoJo's'' anime is chock-full of directorial choices that move fans of the original manga. I hope you watch this over and over again and discover something new each time. This season holds a lot of references to Stardust Crusaders, and we also get to see Ermes, F.F., and Enrico Pucci's backstories, so I'd be happy if you get to understand them on a deeper level.<br />

|Mutsumi Tamura & Mariya Ise|<br />
Interview with the voice actresses for [[Ermes Costello]] and [[Foo Fighters]], discussing their experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''First off, tell us about the audition process.'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': As soon as I heard about the Phantom Blood anime adaptation, I asked my agency to let me audition for Stone Ocean if it ever got adapted. When the time finally came, I was so excited to see who I'd end up auditioning for. I went with Ermes—considering my experience and strengths, I felt she'd be the best fit for me. I was nervous, but at the same time, I was able to audition with confidence. When I had read the series as a student, I thought she was a difficult character to grasp, but now I feel like I can sympathize with her. But I've always felt that F.F. is impossible to grasp... <br />
<br />
'''ISE''': You tell me that a lot! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I couldn't imagine what F.F. would sound like. So that's one character I did not want to audition for.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I was originally offered to audition as Jolyne, but ended up auditioning for F.F., and it was definitely a challenge trying to get a hold of them.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Right? F.F. is difficult to figure out!<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Yes, but I thought this would be my only chance, that if I didn't try, I wouldn't get to be in Stone Ocean, so I did my absolute best. I had loved JoJo's as a college student, so I've always wanted to be involved somehow. When I heard about the Stone Ocean anime adaptation, I thought, "This is it!" When I was preparing to audition as Jolyne, I watched and read all the previous seasons, so I was very prepared for the role of F.F. as well. They're rational and considerate, but also very cute, so I knew they'd be worth the effort. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''How was the recording experience for this series?'''<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': In the first episode, Ermes and Jolyne have a conversa tion in the prison van. Based on th context, I asked the sound director Iwanami if I should do more of a whisper, but I was shocked when told me,"JoJo's doesn't do whispers! It seems Fairouz Ai (nickname: Fai-chan) was also not aware of this, so we both decided to carve those words into our hearts. [laughs] So we speak in a normal volume in that scene, but we're going for a whisper in vibes only.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Since F.F. doesn't appear until episode 8, I was very curious about the atmosphere of the recording booth. I recall asking you about it when we were together for a different project.<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I remember! You also asked me about what kind of person Fai-chan is.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I wanted to prepare, since I had never worked with her before. And you told me that she's bubbly and a JoJo's expert, and that recording has been great so far, so I was relieved. And meeting her in person, she's like a walking spiritual power spot! (laughs) <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Indeed she is. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': She's such a bubbly human, and she radiates positive energy. When we met, she was like, "Nice to meet you! I really love the projects you've been in!" and my walls instantly went down! Thanks to her, I was able to join mid-production with ease. F.F. first appears as the enemy Stand, but recording went so smoothly. My voice has been altered there, but my performance is pretty much as is!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''The two of you don't appear together too often.''' <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': That's right. After episode 14, we basically don't see each other, since Ermes is forced to retire due to injury.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': From there it's just Jolyne, F.F., Weather Forecast, and Anastasia. <br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': I felt so left out when I saw episode 22! [laughs] But Weather Forecast, well... As a viewer, I was shocked by what F.F. brought in.<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': Oh, that! Me, too. (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''TAMURA''': Like, seriously?! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''ISE''': I completely forgot about it, even though I had read through the story and even recorded the lines!<br />
We don't see the completed animation until it shows up on streaming or broadcast, so it leaves a completely different impression. <br />

|Kenichi Suzuki|<br />
Interview with the Series Director of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the ending animation for the season.<br />
<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us your thought process behind the direction of the ending animation.'''<br />
<br />
The lyrics for "Distant Dreamer" matched so perfectly with Jolyne's sentiments, I wanted to make sure that the animation also allowed viewers to resonate with what Jolyne was feeling as she waged her battles. The ocean is not strapped down by a specific time or place, so the impression changes after each episode; it can be seen with the lens of hope and despair. This is the first ending in the JoJo's series where characters don't appear, and this might have surprised people, but I want people to consider why we chose not to depict anyone.<br />
<br />
'''How did you go on about animating the waves?'''<br />
<br />
It's all due to the hard work of [[Ryo Ohashi]], who was in charge of the ending animation VFX and cinematography. We were able to do waves because of his skill. It's very difficult to create natural things such as waves using CG, and we were even considering animating them by hand, but we saw Ohashi's waves during a test run for a different part of the show, and he helped realize my vision. I want the viewers to pay close attention to the waves hitting the shore, and those waves being washed away by the next.<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray, please.'''<br />
<br />
I know you might have seen this show on TV or via streaming, but the Blu-ray will allow for a uniquely high-quality viewing experience. The battles rage on as we approach the third Cour, episodes 25 through 38. Why not join the fight with Jolyne and gang?<br />
}}<br />
|Masanori Shino|<br />
Interview with the Character Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the character design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was the process leading up to participating in this project?'''<br />
<br />
It was through a character design competition. I had been asked to join since Phantom Blood, but my schedule never lined up, so I was able to join at last in this season. I had been buying and reading Stone Ocean even before I was asked to work on it, so I believe it was fate, and my wish came true.<br />
<br />
'''What was it like getting to design the characters?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne in particular has so many expression variations that I had a hard time in the beginning. She grows from a normal girl to a strong young woman, so her expressions are compeletely different in the beginning versus later in the season. After discussing with Director Suzuki, we decided to split her design sheet, one for the first half, one for the second half. We have two character design sheets just for Jolyne.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other requests from Director Suzuki that you recall?'''<br />
<br />
He requested that I streamline the line work as much as possible so that everyone could draw the characters. Of course, if we remove too much of the line work, it's no longer JoJo's, so he ended up asking me to add more lines back in. [laughs] I wanted to make sure the style followed the manga art as much as possible, so that was a challenging aspect.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about your character designing process.'''<br />
<br />
I start with the ears, actually. Every manga artist draws ears a different way, so getting the ears down is a big step toward grasping the character as a whole. Araki Sensei leans towards realism, but his ears are very manga-esque, so I find that very interesting.<br />
<br />
'''The JoJo's series has some very unique poses.'''<br />
<br />
I was concious of that as well, JoJo's bodies have a very particular form, so outlining the human form like normal would not bring out Araki Sensei's style. Everyone's proportions are unique, and Jolyne and gang never stand like normal people, so re-creating those poses was difficult. I also paid special attention to how characters looked lined up next to one another.<br />
<br />
'''There's quite the height difference between Jolyne and Emporio.'''<br />
<br />
Exactly. It's especially difficult striking the right head-and-body ratio. Since anime is horizontal, re-creating Emporio as is would cut him out of the screen because he's so short. And if you include his hat, Weather Report is like nine or ten heads tall, so lining him up with other characters tends to throw off the balance.<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell us more about how you struck the right balance?'''<br />
<br />
Since Jolyne wouldn't be Jolyne if we changed her proportions, I used her as the base for everyone else. For example, we made Emporio's ratio a tad taller than he is in the manga, just enough that it doesn't feel wrong.<br />
<br />
'''You were also one of the chief animation directors. How was that experience?'''<br />
<br />
My biggest regret is not being able to work on all of the episodes and not being able to check all the scenes. But I really love the scenes of Jolyne that I was able to work on in the first episode. Also, since shadows are drawn in a unique way in JoJo's, I went back and forth about how to go on about it for this season, but in the end we went with a more realistic style. I'm proud of the results, especially in the first episode.<br />
<br />
'''Do you have a favorite character out of the ones you designed?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne is my favorite, but I also like Gwess. I had the opportunity to draw Gwess for the anime, too, and I am really satisfied with my work! I liked her as a character when I was reading the manga, as well.<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
The art style, definitely. I personally adore the style in Diamond is Unbreakable, but Vento Aureo leaves the biggest impression. I used to follow the series in real time via Weekly Shonen Jump, and I finally began buying the manga volumes around the time Stone Ocean started up. This applies to all the seasons, but I love how we can never predict what will happen next.<br />
<br />
'''Finally, please leave a message for the fans who've purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
I mentioned Jolyne earlier, but I also really love Jotaro, especially this new perception of him as a father. "I want to make him as badass as possible" was always on my mind during production. So, I hope that my feelings are reflected in the way Jotaro is animated.<br />

Usually, the most important thing in anime is to make sure characters can be drawn by any member of the staff. But in JoJo's, we put notes in the design sheets so that the key animators can add their own direction, changing the flavor of shading or expressions, or adding highlights in key points.<br />
<br />
'''We see those often in the battle scenes.'''<br />
<br />
Yes, like in Kiss's brawl in episode 14, where Takeshi Morita was in charge of key animation. Some details in this scene purposefully deviate from the character design sheet, since the animation was closer to theatrical quality. I did something similar in episode 15, where I was the chief animation director.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any challenges acting as chief animation director?'''<br />
<br />
Episode 15 features three storylines, so it was a chore to animate all the characters, young and old, male and female. [laughs] It was also Anasui's first appearance, so the layout highlighted him. I also put in a lot of effort into DIO's appearance. He might be the enemy, but he's also a godlike presence to our villain Pucci, so we had to make sure he appeared dignified.<br />
<br />
'''Did you do any special preparations in order to animate the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
Reading the manga is a given, but we also study other non-animated works in order to absorb different techniques and knowledge. For Stone Ocean, I watched a lot of movies, like old thrillers, which helped me with the Stand designs. I also did face studies of people from different countries and researched what sort of makeup models used. These types of things really help us draw in a wider capacity.<br />
<br />
'''Thank you. Lastly, a message to the fans who purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
Please enjoy this season. I'd love it if you'd watch all the seasons straight through, from Phantom Blood to Stone Ocean. It's such a fun season, and so many scenes give you courage, so even if you're feeling down, I believe Stone Ocean will help you get back on your feet.<br />

Interview with the singer of the first opening of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], [[STONE OCEAN (Opening)|STONE OCEAN]], discussing ichigo's thoughts and reactions to the opening video.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was your reaction when you recieved the offer to sing the opening song for Stone Ocean?'''<br />
<br />
I ended up crying my eyes out from shock, elation and disbelief. It was such a tremendous honor that I truly thought it wasn't real until I saw the song on the streamed episode.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about the highlights of your song, "STONE OCEAN"'''<br />
<br />
It's a rock number with plenty of distortion and a melody that's distinctly reminiscent of the ''enka'' style. I think it reflects the story, which is highly individualistic in nature, but at the same time is like, "I will lay my life on the line to save my friends!"<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything in particular that you kept in mind when you were recording the song?'''<br />
<br />
I pictured an all-female band performing at a rock festival, so I made sure my expression felt like I was singing for a large audience. Because of that, the call-and-response in English was originally much wilder, but it ended up feeling too rugged, so I toned it down a notch. If I am ever to perform this song live, I'll do the rugged version! [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''What is your favorite part in the opening animation? Tell us why, too!'''<br />
<br />
It's a blink-and-you-miss-it thing, but I got so excited when I noticed the moment when the weak-willed Atroe turns into F.F. And I love the way the credits start changing from episode 13 onward! Please take a look if you can. It's almost unreadable, its amazing! "ichigo from Kisida Kyodan & The Akebosi Rockets" was able to melt into the world of Stone Ocean!<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series?'''<br />
<br />
That no one is simply "a good person"! Everyone has their own sense of justice that burns in their soul, and that gives them an infallible sense of willpower. I love that we can garner courage from their words and actions. "I see! so I can just punch away what I don't like!" [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray set.'''<br />
<br />
We're making the physical product a family heirloom, right? I mean, I certainly will!<br />

A series of interviews released alongside the Blu-Ray boxes of the Stone Ocean Anime with the Japanese voice actors and production staff. The first interview was released on November 30, 2022 and other interviews followed with the subsequent Blu-Ray box releases. In addition, on 23 January 2024, additional interviews with the English dub cast were included in the [[VIZ Media]] release of the Blu-ray sets.<br />
<br />
==Interview==<br />
{{Tabber<br />
|Fairouz Ai|<br />
Interview with the voice actress of [[Jolyne Cujoh]], discussing her experiences from dubbing Jolyne.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us how you got the part of Jolyne.'''<br />
<br />
I got the part via audition, but on the day of the audition, I distinctly remember crying the whole way home thinking I didn't get the role. I love Jolyne so much. Because of that, I was way too nervous during the audition and wasn't able to showcase my best self. I received a callback, which made me both surprised and happy — ''and'' it wasn't actually a callback, they brought me back in to tell me that I got the part! The staff had prepared a whole ordeal for me knowing I was such a huge fan of the ''JoJo'' series. Later on, they sent me a video of that day as a gift. I'm so grateful to them, because this audition really was an extremely important part of my life. I get to look back on the day my dream came true over and over again! After all, ''our memories give our cells courage!''<br />
<br />
'''How was the first day of recording?'''<br />
<br />
I was so overwhelmed about that fact that I'd be voicing my favorite Jolyne that I was more nervous than happy! I entered this industry wanting to voice one of Jolyne's allies, so I was so rickety the first day — with the ''flurry'' of retakes I had to do, I couldn't bring out Jolyne's wild and sensitive character. I had discussion after discussion with the sound director Iwanami-san in order to get her character right. As the recordings went on, though, I felt I was able to understand her and love her even more than I did before.<br />
<br />
'''How did it feel acting alongside your "father," Jotaro, for the first time?'''<br />
<br />
When I first heard Jotaro's voice recording the third episode, I was immediately like, "It's just like the anime!" After that, I received lots of advice from Daisuke Ono about how to voice the "ORA ORA", and I am so grateful for that. He's like a father to me, and I adore him!<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about working with Ermes and F.F.'''<br />
<br />
I've always admired Mutsumi Tamura (Ermes), but I was surprised at how loud and powerful her voice was. Episode 8 in particular was a heated battle with F.F., and we were all just shouting as loudly as we possibly could. (laughs) We were all riled up during recording, which I think ended up sounding good in the actual episode. Compared to ''Golden Wind'', ''Stone Ocean'' has way more female characters, so if we aren't careful, our voices will end up sounding too shrill. We made sure that our voices were passionate and good on the ears. And F.F. is the character I relate to the most, so when they finally appeared in episode 8, I was like "I finally get to meet you!" My heart was full. And Mariya Ise's performance of F.F. is so nuanced, switching smoothly from the creepy mutant to the cute mascot character. Even though F.F.'s character does a 180-degree turn from the beginning to the end, her performance gives them continuity; we can see they're still the same character. F.F.'s voice when we first meet them is processed in post, but even during recording, Mariya Ise's voice performance was so good that I felt like it didn't need to be edited at all!<br />
<br />
'''Was there a specific moment in the first cour (episode 1 through 12) where you felt your performance as Jolyne stood out?'''<br />
<br />
The part in episode 5 where Jolyne trips, and it seems like Jotaro is extending a hand to help her up, but he's actually handing her the pendant. I also had a time when I did not get along with my father, so I really understood how Jolyne felt in that moment, and I was able to bring a daughter's straightforward anger to her father's disappointing action. I think it was pretty real! That scene was also in the audition, so I had a lot of practice. It ended up becoming a very important scene for me.<br />
<br />
'''We heard that you listen to the opening and ending songs every day.'''<br />
<br />
I listen to the opening, "STONE OCEAN", in the mornings after I wake up, and I listen to the ending, "Distant Dreamer", in the evenings on the way home. I love them so much, they're a part of my daily life now! (laughs) I especially love the opening animation that Kamikaze Douga produced — Jolyne's thread connecting to the other JoJo's is awesome. The bright colors make me think, "Prison life doesn't seem too bad!"<br />
<br />
'''How did the people around you react to your participation in this project?'''<br />
<br />
A friend of mine from my days as a student contacted me and told me that my acting has gotten better! We used to read ''JoJo's'' aloud together. It made me really happy to see a reaction from someone I knew in real life. I had wanted to be a voice actor since back then, and I remember telling them, "You should get my signature now while you can!" And I was right! (laughs)<br />
<br />
'''And lastly, a message for the fans, please.'''<br />
<br />
The ''JoJo's'' anime is chock-full of directorial choices that move fans of the original manga. I hope you watch this over and over again and discover something new each time. This season holds a lot of references to Stardust Crusaders, and we also get to see Ermes, F.F., and Enrico Pucci's backstories, so I'd be happy if you get to understand them on a deeper level.<br />

|Kenichi Suzuki|<br />
Interview with the Series Director of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the ending animation for the season.<br />
<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Tell us your thought process behind the direction of the ending animation.'''<br />
<br />
The lyrics for "Distant Dreamer" matched so perfectly with Jolyne's sentiments, I wanted to make sure that the animation also allowed viewers to resonate with what Jolyne was feeling as she waged her battles. The ocean is not strapped down by a specific time or place, so the impression changes after each episode; it can be seen with the lens of hope and despair. This is the first ending in the JoJo's series where characters don't appear, and this might have surprised people, but I want people to consider why we chose not to depict anyone.<br />
<br />
'''How did you go on about animating the waves?'''<br />
<br />
It's all due to the hard work of [[Ryo Ohashi]], who was in charge of the ending animation VFX and cinematography. We were able to do waves because of his skill. It's very difficult to create natural things such as waves using CG, and we were even considering animating them by hand, but we saw Ohashi's waves during a test run for a different part of the show, and he helped realize my vision. I want the viewers to pay close attention to the waves hitting the shore, and those waves being washed away by the next.<br />
<br />
'''A word for the fans who have purchased the Blu-ray, please.'''<br />
<br />
I know you might have seen this show on TV or via streaming, but the Blu-ray will allow for a uniquely high-quality viewing experience. The battles rage on as we approach the third Cour, episodes 25 through 38. Why not join the fight with Jolyne and gang?<br />
}}<br />
|Masanori Shino|<br />
Interview with the Character Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the character design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''What was the process leading up to participating in this project?'''<br />
<br />
It was through a character design competition. I had been asked to join since Phantom Blood, but my schedule never lined up, so I was able to join at last in this season. I had been buying and reading Stone Ocean even before I was asked to work on it, so I believe it was fate, and my wish came true.<br />
<br />
'''What was it like getting to design the characters?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne in particular has so many expression variations that I had a hard time in the beginning. She grows from a normal girl to a strong young woman, so her expressions are compeletely different in the beginning versus later in the season. After discussing with Director Suzuki, we decided to split her design sheet, one for the first half, one for the second half. We have two character design sheets just for Jolyne.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other requests from Director Suzuki that you recall?'''<br />
<br />
He requested that I streamline the line work as much as possible so that everyone could draw the characters. Of course, if we remove too much of the line work, it's no longer JoJo's, so he ended up asking me to add more lines back in. [laughs] I wanted to make sure the style followed the manga art as much as possible, so that was a challenging aspect.<br />
<br />
'''Tell us about your character designing process.'''<br />
<br />
I start with the ears, actually. Every manga artist draws ears a different way, so getting the ears down is a big step toward grasping the character as a whole. Araki Sensei leans towards realism, but his ears are very manga-esque, so I find that very interesting.<br />
<br />
'''The JoJo's series has some very unique poses.'''<br />
<br />
I was concious of that as well, JoJo's bodies have a very particular form, so outlining the human form like normal would not bring out Araki Sensei's style. Everyone's proportions are unique, and Jolyne and gang never stand like normal people, so re-creating those poses was difficult. I also paid special attention to how characters looked lined up next to one another.<br />
<br />
'''There's quite the height difference between Jolyne and Emporio.'''<br />
<br />
Exactly. It's especially difficult striking the right head-and-body ratio. Since anime is horizontal, re-creating Emporio as is would cut him out of the screen because he's so short. And if you include his hat, Weather Report is like nine or ten heads tall, so lining him up with other characters tends to throw off the balance.<br />
<br />
'''Could you tell us more about how you struck the right balance?'''<br />
<br />
Since Jolyne wouldn't be Jolyne if we changed her proportions, I used her as the base for everyone else. For example, we made Emporio's ratio a tad taller than he is in the manga, just enough that it doesn't feel wrong.<br />
<br />
'''You were also one of the chief animation directors. How was that experience?'''<br />
<br />
My biggest regret is not being able to work on all of the episodes and not being able to check all the scenes. But I really love the scenes of Jolyne that I was able to work on in the first episode. Also, since shadows are drawn in a unique way in JoJo's, I went back and forth about how to go on about it for this season, but in the end we went with a more realistic style. I'm proud of the results, especially in the first episode.<br />
<br />
'''Do you have a favorite character out of the ones you designed?'''<br />
<br />
Jolyne is my favorite, but I also like Gwess. I had the opportunity to draw Gwess for the anime, too, and I am really satisfied with my work! I liked her as a character when I was reading the manga, as well.<br />
<br />
'''What are your favorite aspects of the JoJo's series?'''<br />
<br />
The art style, definitely. I personally adore the style in Diamond is Unbreakable, but Vento Aureo leaves the biggest impression. I used to follow the series in real time via Weekly Shonen Jump, and I finally began buying the manga volumes around the time Stone Ocean started up. This applies to all the seasons, but I love how we can never predict what will happen next.<br />
<br />
'''Finally, please leave a message for the fans who've purchased the Blu-ray.'''<br />
<br />
I mentioned Jolyne earlier, but I also really love Jotaro, especially this new perception of him as a father. "I want to make him as badass as possible" was always on my mind during production. So, I hope that my feelings are reflected in the way Jotaro is animated.<br />

|Shunichi Ishimoto|<br />
Interview with the Stand Designer of [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean]], discussing the Stand design process for the season.<br />
{{Text|<br />
'''Please tell us a bit about how you came about working on this season.'''<br />
<br />
Since I had worked as chief animation director and secondary character designer on Golden Wind, I felt like I was done working on the JoJo's series. But Director Suzuki asked me to work on the Stand designs. I've been under his care since early on, when I was just starting out in my career, so I accepted the request.<br />
<br />
'''How did you feel when you were put in charge of Stand design?'''<br />
<br />
I felt the weight of expectation on me, for sure. This series has so many fans, and I wanted to make sure the designs were stable across the season.<br />
<br />
'''Was there anything you prepared for in order to work on the Stand designs?'''<br />
<br />
It was a challenge to figure out the designs for the Stone Ocean Stands, since they're so complex. We basically made sure that we all knew how each Stand worked, so that meant reading the manga, and asking Director Suzuki and even Hirohiko Araki Sensei if any questions came up. For example, Diver Down sometimes narrows its round eyes, and we had to check whether that meant it was changing facial expressions.<br />
<br />
'''Were there any other points you found challenging?'''<br />
<br />
The amount of lines used in the Stand designs in the manga are part of what make them so beautiful, but we can't animate all of that line work. So, we made sure to toe the thin line between too little and too much, so that the Stands were still beautiful but not impossible to animate. If they were still too difficult, we edited them in post using photography.<br />
<br />
'''Which Stands were created with the help of photography?'''<br />
<br />
One example is the DNA sequence written on Whitesnake's chest. We couldn't hand draw all of that. Dragon's Dream is another one that used the help of 3D CG. Stone Free's threads were a combination of hand drawn and post-editing. If the threads were entangled in a difficult way, we edited them after animation.<br />
<br />
'''In your opinion, what are the most important things to think about when designing Stands?'''<br />
<br />
I think it's important to leave room for stylization to be added in the key animation. This makes sure the Stands move and look their best. Usually, the most important thing in anime is to make sure characters can be drawn by any member of the staff. But in JoJo's, we put notes in the design sheets so that the key animators can add their own direction, changing the flavor of shading or expressions, or adding highlights in key points.<br />

Heya, I'm Minedor. I First watched the JoJo anime back in September 2019 after a friend of mine told me to watch it around 200 times, a day. (PS: JoJo was my first anime)<br />
After finishing the anime I decided to read the manga and now I patiently await the release of each chapter of [[The JOJOLands]].<br />
My main gig on the wiki is fixing up images, infoboxes and updating the images with HQ versions.<br />
<br />
I have made {{Special:Editcount/Minedor}} edits on the wiki so far. (In reality the number is much higher and is above 3,300, the counter is just broken lol)<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
{{TBox|width=180px<br />
|PaisleyRose|[[File:Minedor Colored Key Art 2.png|borderless|left|frameless|180px]]<br />

}}<br />
Minedor's real life appearance is unknown, but his weird OC thing's is.<br />
M-Guy is a slim humanoid being with a slightly above average height. He sports a bright grey suit and red undershirt, resembling that of former Yakuza protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu.<br />
M-guy also sports large, metallic shoulder pads with an "M" symbol on them, as well as alternating legwear, ranging from classic shoes, to Among Us branded sneakers and Crocs.<br />
<br />
M-Guy's most defining features are his robotic right hand, which, according to Minedor, the original designer, is due to it "looking rad lol", as well as his floating, shiny M-shaped crystal-like head.<br />
The "head" glows depending on M-guy's different expressions, but usually sticks to the default blue-cyan tint, akin to that of a Diamond.<br />
<br />
In later depictions, M-guy also sports a golden belt with a small "M" emblem at the center.<br />

==Stuff About Me==<br />
I'm sort of new to the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' fandom in particular, as mentioned earlier, I was forced to watch the show by a friend of mine and I got Hooked.<br />
<br />
I watched Parts 1-5, and proceeded to read the manga for Parts 6-8. I fully caught up on the manga around the release of Chapters [[JJL Chapter 96|96]]-[[JJL Chapter 97|97]] of JoJolion.<br />
<br />
Right now I'm doing my best to add images to the Wiki and update some articles that no one reads.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==What is the Origin of the name "Minedor"/"Minedoctor Wu"?==<br />
Due to a lot of people inquiring about what my nickname, minedor, stands for, here's the full explanation:<br />
A few years back, when I was like, uhhhh, 12-13? I used to play minecraft a lot, you know, your typical minecraft kid, so one day when i was coming back from a pool, inspiration struck me, "Why not combine my real name with minecraft? and there i had it, as to explain what each part means, here you go:<br/><br/><br />
Mine- Minecraft<br/><br />
Do- Part of my first name<br/><br />
R- Part of my last name<br/><br />
<br />
as for my former nickname on the JJBE Discord server, Minedoctor Wu, the user TNM came up with it as a pun one day and i liked it so much that i decided to use it as one of my nicknames, it's pretty easy to understand, but it's just:<br/><br/><br />
Mine-Minedor<br/><br />
Doctor Wu- I think this one answers itself lol<br/><br />
<br />
And there you have it!<br />
<br />
==Stuff That Isn't JoJo==<br />
My other favorite anime/manga franchises are Hajime Isayama's ''Shingeki No kyojin'', Keisuke Itagaki's ''Baki the Grappler'', Takahiko Inoue's ''REAL'', Q Hayashida's ''Dorohedoro'' and Tatsuki Fujimoto's ''Fire Punch''. I have also edited pages on the old Subnautica fandom wiki back in 2016.<br />
<br />
==Stuff I've Done==<br />
*Update Images on the wiki with High Quality versions - Never truly Done, is it<br />
*update Infobox images with transparent versions - also never truly Done<br />
*Update stuff on new JJL Chapters - DONE...?<br />
*Annoy everyone on the wiki Discord Server - Triple DONE.<br />
*Make several new pages - Can always do more<br />
<br />
<br />
==List of Pages I've made or rewrote==<br />

Heya, I'm Minedor. I First watched the JoJo anime back in September 2019 after a friend of mine told me to watch it around 200 times, a day. (PS: JoJo was my first anime)<br />
After finishing the anime I decided to read the manga and now I patiently await the release of each chapter of [[The JOJOLands]].<br />
My main gig on the wiki is fixing up images, infoboxes and updating the images with HQ versions.<br />
<br />
I have made {{Special:Editcount/Minedor}} edits on the wiki so far. (In reality the number is much higher and is above 3,300, the counter is just broken lol)<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
{{TBox|width=180px<br />
|PaisleyRose|[[File:Minedor Colored Key Art 2.png|borderless|left|frameless|180px]]<br />
|Atala|[[File:Minedor colored Key Art.png|borderless|left|frameless|150px]]<br />
|Chen|[[File:Minedor colored Fullbody.png|left|frameless|130px]]<br />
}}<br />
Minedor's real life appearance is unknown, but his weird OC thing's is.<br />
M-Guy is a slim humanoid being with a slightly above average height. He sports a bright grey suit and red undershirt, resembling that of former Yakuza protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu.<br />
M-guy also sports large, metallic shoulder pads with an "M" symbol on them, as well as alternating legwear, ranging from classic shoes, to Among Us branded sneakers and Crocs.<br />
<br />
M-Guy's most defining features are his robotic right hand, which, according to Minedor, the original designer, is due to it "looking rad lol", as well as his floating, shiny M-shaped crystal-like head.<br />
The "head" glows depending on M-guy's different expressions, but usually sticks to the default blue-cyan tint, akin to that of a Diamond.<br />
<br />
In later depictions, M-guy also sports a golden belt with a small "M" emblem at the center.<br />
<br />

{{Nihongo|'''JOJO A-GO!GO!'''|{{Ruby|JOJO|ジョジョ}} {{Ruby|A|ア}}-{{Ruby|GO!|ゴー}}{{Ruby|GO!|ゴー}}|JoJo A Gō Gō}} is an artbook written and illustrated by [[Hirohiko Araki]] and [[Lucky Land Communications]].<br />
<br />
A memorial to the completed publication of ''[[Vento Aureo]]'', the artbook features illustrations from the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, particularly from ''[[Phantom Blood]]'' to ''[[Vento Aureo]]''.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
The box features a wheel that can be rotated in order to change the faces of the image depicted on the front. Included in the package is the artbook, as well as an encyclopedia of Stands and a detailed book on the author.<br />
<br />
[[VIZ Media]] announced the English version of the artbook on February 2, 2024. It is planned to release on September 17, 2024.<ref name="viz" /> The English version of the artbook will seemingly only include the first book of the package set and lack the Stand data book and the book focused on Hirohiko Araki. This is due to the listed page count being substantially shorter than the original release in Japan as well as the book being advertised soley as an illustrations one.<br />
<br />
[[File:JoJoAGoGobox.jpg|thumb|Contents of the box]]<br />
===DISC.1 Illustrations===<br />
The book contains colored illustrations from the covers of manga chapters and volumes featured in ''[[Phantom Blood]]'', ''[[Battle Tendency]]'', ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]'', ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', and ''[[Vento Aureo]]''. Other illustrations drawn by Araki, promoted in other media such as video games, tributes, or merchandise, are also included.<br />
<br />
The front portion of the book presents an illustrated dance party portraying numerous characters and Stands dancing with each other. The back of the book has a timeline listing every work of art, where they were originally featured, and the date they were created, as well as a single illustration of [[Jolyne Cujoh]] from ''[[Stone Ocean]]''.<br />
<br />
===DISC.2 Stands===<br />
Illustrations and data of stands up to and including ''[[Vento Aureo]]''. Each Stand is given stats, an explanation of its abilities and role in the story, and a short description of the user. The book also features Stand rankings broken up into categories such as: Stands that appear the most, Stands that inflicted the most damage or Stands that killed the most people. Araki's own personal favorites are also included, judged by function and design. The back of the book contains a section called "Standlogy," which explains Stands in further detail.<br />
<br />
===Disc.3 Araki Hirohiko===<br />
Contains information about [[Hirohiko Araki]]'s inspirations and influences, as well as his experiences around the world. Contents of the book include an essay written by Araki on Italy, various lists including Araki's favorite characters and illustrations, and a chronicle listing Araki's works from 1960 to 1999.<br />

The episode covers from [[Chapter 588]] to [[Chapter 591]] of the original [[Vento Aureo|manga]].<br />
<br />
[[Giorno]] now possesses [[Gold Experience Requiem]] and defeats [[Diavolo]]. The story jumps back to the past, presenting the time [[Mista]] had to investigate the mysterious death of a florist's daughter.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
A dramatic recap of the last episodes renarrates the events of the last night, from [[Chariot Requiem]]'s appearance to [[Giorno]] seizing the [[Arrow]], to the tune of {{W|O Fortuna}}. The plot then briefly jumps back to the past with [[Team Bucciarati]] sharing a meal together.<br />
<br />
[[File:GW ep38 Diavolo defeated.png|left|thumb|220x220px|Diavolo is beaten by Gold Experience Requiem]]<br />
[[Diavolo]] and [[King Crimson]] get heavily pummelled by [[Gold Experience Requiem]] and are sent into the Tiber. Mista and [[Trish Una|Trish]] are amazed at Giorno's victory but Trish then raises the alarm as she cannot see Diavolo's body. It is shown that Diavolo is now further down the river and is climbing into a sewer, having somehow survived his encounter with Gold Experience Requiem. However, he then meets with a group of homeless men who just injected themselves with drugs. One of the delirious men then stabs Diavolo in the chest in an attempt to protect his coat, which horrifies Diavolo as he finds himself defenseless. Suddenly, Diavolo blacks out and wake up in an unknown room. Confused, Diavolo sees a doctor named [[Monica Ultello]] record her operation, which is revealed to be an autopsy on Diavolo himself. Diavolo is unable to move or be heard by Ultello, and watches with horror as she harvests his organs. Diavolo blacks out and now finds himself in the streets. Remembering everything, the once almighty Boss is bewildered by what is happening to him. Startled by a bystander's dog, he moves back but trips into the road and on the path of a speeding car.<br />
<br />
[[File:GW ep38 spirits in the sky.png|thumb|220x220px|Giorno sees the spirits of his friends in the sky]]<br />
Back to Rome, Trish senses that Diavolo is still alive, but Giorno reassures her that although he doesn't understand Gold Experience Requiem's ability, he is sure that Diavolo is now trapped out of reality himself and is living a neverending demise. Diavolo is last seen in the countryside despairing of his countless deaths and shouting at a little girl to stay away from him. Mista suddenly remembers [[Bruno Bucciarati|Bucciarati]] and, assuming that he's still alive, tells his companions to hurry back to the Colosseum and heal him. Reminded of his partner's death, Giorno feels distressed but then witnesses Bucciarati, [[Leone Abbacchio|Abbacchio]] and [[Narancia Ghirga|Narancia]] in the clouds who reassure him about the future. Giorno notices the Arrowhead on the ground.<br />
<br />
Back to the flashback, [[Guido Mista|Mista]] enthusiastically explains how he's deduced that meat from herbivores must be more delicious than the meat from carnivores, meaning that humans must actually taste bad. Bucciarati arrives and informs the team that [[Luca|Leaky Eye Luca]] has died and that [[Polpo]] has ordered him to investigate the matter. Moreover, Fugo presents a florist to him. The florist explains to Bucciarati that one day, his daughter went to her boyfriend's apartment and then jumped from the roof of the building, clutching a round stone with her. The florist suspects the boyfriend [[Scolippi]], a sculptor by trade, and asks Bucciarati to avenge his daughter in exchange for his life savings.<br />
<br />
[[File:GW ep38 Mista & Rolling Stone.png|left|thumb|220x220px|Mista sees the cursed Rolling Stone]]<br />
Bruno refuses to simply commit a revenge hit but accepts to investigate the matter and deal justice. Bucciarati tasks Mista to go to the boyfriend. However, Mista suddenly sees a round stone in his seat as he stands up. Mista touches the stone, only to hear someone pleading to be killed. Although Mista is worried, everybody only sees an ordinary stone and urge him to hurry to the parking lot so that Fugo and Bucciarati can drop him off at Scolippi's address. Disturbingly, Mista keeps spotting round stones near him as the group drives to the boyfriend's apartment and mentions this to his team, although his suspicions only confuse them. Fugo and Bucciarati drop Mista off, but Bucciarati then decides to follow Mista to watch over him. Meanwhile, Mista has reached the elevator. Suddenly, he sees the stone inside the elevator and instinctively shoots it. However, the crumbling stone takes the shape of an injured Bucciarati and Scolippi can be seen hiding behind the door of the elevator. Mista thus realizes that a Stand is involved in this case.<br />

==Commentary==<br />
{{Quote|1. The Cold-Open Restaurant Sequence<br />
<br />
"The episodes I've worked on tend to feature food, and I remember checking the frames thinking, 'Man, that looks good," muses Director Takahashi. Mista, Abbacchio, and Fugo eat steak while Narancia has pumpkin soup. "Narancia also has soup in episode twenty-two. He must really love soup! How cute."<br />
<br />
2. Diavolo's Never Ending Death<br />
<br />
Gold Experience Requiem causes Diavolo to experience infinite deaths. Each death scene uses a different palette, marking it as one of the episodes with the most color filter changes in the entire series. Takahashi says, "The lettering of Diavolo's last scream in the manga is so memorable, we almost put lettering in that shot in the anime."<br />
<br />
3. Mista Talks Meat<br />
<br />
"This is the scene we had at Mista's audition," reveals Takahashi. "So this scene is how we chose Kohsuke Toriumi. Hearing him say the lines again for this episode really drove home how far we'd come." The cow, chicken, and pig were drawn cute and comical in the storyboards, so Takahashi asked Director Sho Sugawara to redraw them in Araki's style. "The eyes especially turned-out Araki-esque."<br />
<br />
4. Bucciarati and the Flower Shop Owner<br />
<br />
The Passione exudes a violent, fearsome image, so why is Bucciarati, one of its members, so trusted by the townspeople? The conversation between Bucciarati and the florist illustrates why. "For families whose emotions are forsaken by the law, Bucciarati, their last resort, is what eases them. I read this part of the manga to solidify my image of a true mafioso."|Hideya Takahashi, Blu-Ray limited edition commentaries}}<br />
<br />
{{Quote|5. One Day in the Life of Bucciarati's Famiglia<br />
<br><br />
The scene is a prologue to Golden Wind. Chief Animation Director Ishimoto notes, "Everyone's here with the exception of Giorno. We put our souls into the animation. Seeing the others just go along with Mista's chatter made me smile. You can tell they really are close. I was surprised to see Abbacchio actually listening to Mista, though."|[[Shunichi Ishimoto]], Blu-Ray limited edition commentaries}}<br />

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Golden Wind'' - Episode 38}}</div>Minedorhttps://jojowiki.com/index.php?title=Blog:How_to_Stitch_Anime_Shots&diff=923116Blog:How to Stitch Anime Shots2024-01-30T13:56:46Z<p>Minedor: Added Photoshop, happy Kojo?</p>
<hr />
<div>if you've been to the wiki's episode articles, you've probably seen how the gallery section contains images that don't look like the normal 16:9 screenshot. The reason for that is because they are what are commonly referred to as "stitches". But what even is a "stitch"?<br />
<br />
A "stitch" is a term used for when a person combines several screenshots of a panning shot in an anime and '''stitches''' them together (hence the name) to form one larger image.<br />
[[File:Anasui Pan Up shot.gif|thumb|right|The shot we will be stitching today]]<br />
Often times, they form a pretty cool looking image, so you might want to learn how to make them yourself. This guide should help you figure that out.<br />
I'll describe two pretty easy methods to do them, one automatic and one manual with pros and cons to each method. I'll be stitching the infamous Anasui pose from episode 15 of Stone Ocean as an example.<br />
==Method A - Automatic==<br />
<br />
Step 1. Download and install the following pieces of software:<br />
<br><br />
avidemux - For extracting frames from the episode - https://sourceforge.net/projects/avidemux/<br />
<br><br />
Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor) - For stitching the frames together - https://web.archive.org/web/20180724063025/https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/3/9/73918E0B-C146-40FA-B18C-EADF03FEC4BA/ICE-2.0.3-for-64-bit-Windows.msi<br />
<br />
Step 2. Open avidemux.<br />
<br />
Step 3. Click "file" in the top left, then "open". From there select the video file of the episode, in my case, its "Episode 15 - Ultra Security House Unit.mkv".<br />
<br />
Step 4. After waiting a few moments for the episode to load, go to the exact moment you want to stitch using the timeline at the bottom of the screen. To be more precise, use the two arrows next to the Play button to go frame by frame. You must be accurate and go to the very start of the shot to stitch the entire shot.<br />
<br />
Step 5. When you're at the start of the shot, click the button that looks like "-A-", it will start a selection from that exact frame.<br />
<br />
Step 6. Play and stop at the exact frame where the shot ends, use the same navigation method as described in step 4.<br />
<br />
Step 7. When you're at the end of the shot, click the button that looks like "-B", it will cut your selection on the frame you're paused on.<br />
<br />
Step 8. If done right, you've selected the frames that compose the shot. Now, go to "File" again, "Save as Image" and then "Save Selection as JPEG".<br />
<br />
Step 9. Pick where you wish to save all the frames you just picked, I recommend creating a special folder for them since you wouldn't want to clog something like your Downloads folder with 150 images, would ya?<br />
<br />
Step 10. After a few moments, it'll save all the images and you'll get a pop up saying something like "[number] images saved."<br />
<br />
Step 11. Close avidemux and open Microsoft ICE.<br />
<br />
Step 12. Click "New Panorama from Images".<br />
<br />
Step 13. There'll be a pop up asking you to select files, go to where you saved all the frames and pick all of them. (I personally just click Ctrl + A on my keyboard to select all files in a folder if its saved in its own unique folder, but you do you.)<br />
<br />
Step 14 . Simply hit "Next" at the top right, no need to touch any of the settings.<br />
[[File:Stitching Guide Example A.png|thumb|right|My result using the automatic method.]]<br />
Step 15. Wait. This bit takes a pretty long time (5-10 minutes usually) so you can go make yourself a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate or go watch a Youtube video.<br />
<br />
Step 16. After waiting a while, you'll be presented with the stitched image, hooray! Just click "Next" twice.<br />
<br />
Step 17. When you reach the export tab, pick "PNG image" under "File Format" and check the box that says "Include alpha channel" to keep any blank areas transparent.<br />
<br />
Step 18. Click "Export to disk" and select where you want the image to be saved.<br />
<br />
Step 19. Dojyaaa~~n! You've successfully stitched a frame automatically!<br />
<br />
==Method B - Manual==<br />
<br />
Step 1. Open the video file for the episode in VLC media player (Which if you somehow don't have, just download it online), in my case, its "Episode 15 - Ultra Security House Unit.mkv".<br />
<br />
Step 2. Go to a moment right *before* the shot you want to stitch, and click "E" on your keyboard to go to the next frame, keep going until you reach the first frame of the shot.<br />
<br />
Step 3. Under "Video" on the VLC toolbar, click "Take Snapshot", this will screenshot the frame in perfect quality. It usually defaults to saving in your computer's Pictures folder.<br />
<br />
Step 4. Play for a few moments and take a few more snapshots showing more of the shot, but keep a small area where it would overlap with the previous snapshot. This will be important in a bit.<br />
<br />
Step 5. After you took all the snapshots you need, open up an image editing software with layer support. I personally use Adobe Photoshop, but I think paint.net should work too. The following explanation will be for Photoshop, but you should be able to figure it out on your own in the image editing software of your choice.<br />
<br />
Step 6. Open up the different snapshots you took.<br />
<br />
Step 7. Extend the canvas of the first snapshot in the direction of where the shot pans, in my case, towards the top.<br />
<br />
Step 8. Copy the second snapshot and paste it onto the first one as a new layer.<br />
<br />
Step 9. Drag and move it around until the area that overlaps between the two matches, I usually set the top image to be at 60% opacity to see where they match.<br />
[[File:Stitching Guide Example B.jpg|thumb|right|My result using the manual method.]]<br />
Step 10 . After matching the two, use the eraser tool with minimum hardness (so its soft and fades between the two images instead of having a clear "seam" between the two) and delete the area where you can clearly see the two images connect. Make sure NOT to delete too much off the top so there are no random holes in the stitch.<br />
<br />
Step 11. Do this again with all the following images, in my case its just three.<br />
<br />
Step 12. Crop any empty space so that only the stitched snapshots remain.<br />
<br />
Step 13. Save the image as a PNG.<br />
<br />
Step 14. Dojyaaa~~n! You've succesfully stitched a frame manually!<br />
==Method C - Automatic with Photoshop==<br />
Adobe Photoshop supports automatic "Photomerging" as well, but I'll only describe it shortly as most people don't have Photoshop (it costs money) and I don't want to explain how to download it illegally in this educational guide.<br />
[[File:Stitching Guide Example C.png|thumb|right|My result using the automatic with Photoshop method.]]<br />
Step 1. Get the screenshots as described in the manual process.<br />
<br />
Step 2. Click "Edit", then "Automate", and lastly "Photomerge".<br />
<br />
Step 3. Click "Browse" and then select the images you screenshotted.<br />
<br />
Step 4. click "OK".<br />
<br />
Step 5. Wait for it to finish.<br />
<br />
Step 6. Dojyaaa~~n! You've successfully stitched a frame automatically using Adobe Photoshop!<br />
==Pros & Cons==<br />
<br />
===Automatic:===<br />
Pros: As the name suggests, its an automatic process which only needs you to provide the images and the program does the rest. It also allows for more challenging shots where the frame moves around in a complicated manner to be done with ease.<br />
<br />
Cons: The time you need to wait for the stitching to be done automatically is kind of annoying and sometimes the program messes up and doesn't stitch something correctly (It usually does though).<br />
===Manual:===<br />
Pros: Its really fast to do since you only really need to screenshot a few frames and put them on top of one another in a matching order. Also gives you a lot more control over how you want the stitch to be done.<br />
<br />
Cons: For a beginner it can be slightly challenging to perfecting the way the images match and its annoying to do for more complicated shots.<br />
<br />
Neither method is perfect or "the correct one" to choose, its really up to you.<br />
If you have zero experience editing images, the automatic one is easier but it takes longer to do.<br />
If you already have experience editing images, the manual one is fast and pretty fun to do.</div>Minedorhttps://jojowiki.com/index.php?title=File:Stitching_Guide_Example_C.png&diff=923115File:Stitching Guide Example C.png2024-01-30T13:55:51Z<p>Minedor: == Licensing ==

<hr />
<div>if you've been to the wiki's episode articles, you've probably seen how the gallery section contains images that don't look like the normal 16:9 screenshot. The reason for that is because they are what are commonly referred to as "stitches". But what even is a "stitch"?<br />
<br />
A "stitch" is a term used for when a person combines several screenshots of a panning shot in an anime and '''stitches''' them together (hence the name) to form one larger image.<br />
[[File:Anasui Pan Up shot.gif|thumb|right|The shot we will be stitching today]]<br />
Often times, they form a pretty cool looking image, so you might want to learn how to make them yourself. This guide should help you figure that out.<br />
I'll describe two pretty easy methods to do them, one automatic and one manual with pros and cons to each method. I'll be stitching the infamous Anasui pose from episode 15 of Stone Ocean as an example.<br />
==Method A - Automatic==<br />
<br />
Step 1. Download and install the following pieces of software:<br />
<br><br />
avidemux - For extracting frames from the episode - https://sourceforge.net/projects/avidemux/<br />
<br><br />
Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor) - For stitching the frames together - https://web.archive.org/web/20180724063025/https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/3/9/73918E0B-C146-40FA-B18C-EADF03FEC4BA/ICE-2.0.3-for-64-bit-Windows.msi<br />
<br />
Step 2. Open avidemux.<br />
<br />
Step 3. Click "file" in the top left, then "open". From there select the video file of the episode, in my case, its "Episode 15 - Ultra Security House Unit.mkv".<br />
<br />
Step 4. After waiting a few moments for the episode to load, go to the exact moment you want to stitch using the timeline at the bottom of the screen. To be more precise, use the two arrows next to the Play button to go frame by frame. You must be accurate and go to the very start of the shot to stitch the entire shot.<br />
<br />
Step 5. When you're at the start of the shot, click the button that looks like "-A-", it will start a selection from that exact frame.<br />
<br />
Step 6. Play and stop at the exact frame where the shot ends, use the same navigation method as described in step 4.<br />

<br />
Step 2. Open avidemux.<br />
<br />
Step 3. Click "file" in the top left, then "open". From there select the video file of the episode, in my case, its "Episode 15 - Ultra Security House Unit.mkv".<br />

<br />
Step 6. Play and stop at the exact frame where the shot ends, use the same navigation method as described in step 4.<br />
<br />
Step 7. When you're at the end of the shot, click the button that looks like "-B", it will cut your selection on the frame you're paused on.<br />
<br />
Step 8. If done right, you've selected the frames that compose the shot. Now, go to "File" again, "Save as Image" and then "Save Selection as JPEG".<br />
<br />
Step 9. Pick where you wish to save all the frames you just picked, I recommend creating a special folder for them since you wouldn't want to clog something like your Downloads folder with 150 images, would ya?<br />
<br />
Step 10. After a few moments, it'll save all the images and you'll get a pop up saying something like "[number] images saved."<br />
<br />
Step 11. Close avidemux and open Microsoft ICE.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Step 16. After waiting a while, you'll be presented with the stitched image, hooray! Just click "Next" twice.<br />
[[File:Stitching Guide Example A.png|thumb|right|My result using the automatic method.]]<br />
Step 17. When you reach the export tab, pick "PNG image" under "File Format" and check the box that says "Include alpha channel" to keep any blank areas transparent.<br />
<br />
Step 18. Click "Export to disk" and select where you want the image to be saved.<br />
<br />
Step 19. Dojyaaa~~n! You've succesfully stitched a frame automatically!<br />
<br />
==Method B - Manual==<br />
<br />
Step 1. Open the video file for the episode in VLC media player (Which if you somehow don't have, just download it online), in my case, its "Episode 15 - Ultra Security House Unit.mkv".<br />
<br />
Step 2. Go to a moment right *before* the shot you want to stitch, and click "E" on your keyboard to go to the next frame, keep going until you reach the first frame of the shot.<br />
<br />
Step 3. Under "Video" on the VLC toolbar, click "Take Snapshot", this will screenshot the frame in perfect quality. It usually defaults to saving in your computer's Pictures folder.<br />
<br />
Step 4. Play for a few moments and take a few more snapshots showing more of the shot, but keep a small area where it would overlap with the previous snapshot. This will be important in a bit.<br />
<br />
Step 5. After you took all the snapshots you need, open up an image editing software with layer support. I personally use Adobe Photoshop, but I think paint.net should work too. The following explanation will be for Photoshop, but you should be able to figure it out on your own in the image editing software of your choice.<br />
<br />
Step 6. Open up the different snapshots you took.<br />
<br />
Step 7. Extend the canvas of the first snapshot in the direction of where the shot pans, in my case, towards the top.<br />
<br />
Step 8. Copy the second snapshot and paste it onto the first one as a new layer.<br />
<br />
Step 9. Drag and move it around until the area that overlaps between the two matches, I usually set the top image to be at 60% opacity to see where they match.<br />
<br />
Step 10 . After matching the two, use the eraser tool with minimum hardness (so its soft and fades between the two images instead of having a clear "seam" between the two) and delete the area where you can clearly see the two images connect. Make sure NOT to delete too much off the top so there are no random holes in the stitch.<br />
<br />
Step 11. Do this again with all the following images, in my case its just three.<br />
<br />
Step 12. Crop any empty space so that only the stitched snapshots remain.<br />
<br />
Step 13. Save the image as a PNG.<br />
<br />
Step 14. Dojyaaa~~n! You've succesfully stitched a frame manually!<br />
==Pros & Cons==<br />
<br />
===Automatic:===<br />
Pros: As the name suggests, its an automatic process which only needs you to provide the images and the program does the rest. It also allows for more challenging shots where the frame moves around in a complicated manner to be done with ease.<br />
<br />
Cons: The time you need to wait for the stitching to be done automatically is kind of annoying and sometimes the program messes up and doesn't stitch something correctly (It usually does though).<br />
===Manual:===<br />
Pros: Its really fast to do since you only really need to screenshot a few frames and put them on top of one another in a matching order. Also gives you a lot more control over how you want the stitch to be done.<br />
<br />
Cons: For a beginner it can be slightly challenging to perfecting the way the images match and its annoying to do for more complicated shots.<br />
<br />
Neither method is perfect or "the correct one" to choose, its really up to you.<br />
If you have zero experience editing images, the automatic one is easier but it takes longer to do.<br />
If you already have experience editing images, the manual one is fast and pretty fun to do.</div>Minedorhttps://jojowiki.com/index.php?title=File:Stitching_Guide_Example_A.png&diff=923109File:Stitching Guide Example A.png2024-01-30T13:30:30Z<p>Minedor: == Licensing ==

<hr />
<div>if you've been to the wiki's episode articles, you've probably seen how the gallery section contains images that don't look like the normal 16:9 screenshot. The reason for that is because they are what are commonly referred to as "stitches". But what even is a "stitch"?<br />
<br />
A "stitch" is a term used for when a person combines several screenshots of a panning shot in an anime and '''stitches''' them together (hence the name) to form one larger image.<br />
<br />
Often times, they form a pretty cool looking image, so you might want to learn how to make them yourself. This guide should help you figure that out.<br />
I'll describe two pretty easy methods to do them, one automatic and one manual with pros and cons to each method. I'll be stitching the infamous Anasui pose from episode 15 of Stone Ocean as an example.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Method A - Automatic==<br />
<br />
Step 1. Download and install the following pieces of software:<br />
<br><br />
avidemux - For extracting frames from the episode - https://sourceforge.net/projects/avidemux/<br />
<br><br />
Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor) - For stitching the frames together - https://web.archive.org/web/20180724063025/https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/3/9/73918E0B-C146-40FA-B18C-EADF03FEC4BA/ICE-2.0.3-for-64-bit-Windows.msi<br />
<br />
Step 2. Open avidemux.<br />
<br />
Step 3. Click "file" in the top left, then "open". From there select the video file of the episode, in my case, its "Episode 15 - Ultra Security House Unit.mkv".<br />
<br />
Step 4. After waiting a few moments for the episode to load, go to the exact moment you want to stitch using the timeline at the bottom of the screen. To be more precise, use the two arrows next to the Play button to go frame by frame. You must be accurate and go to the very start of the shot to stitch the entire shot.<br />
<br />
Step 5. When you're at the start of the shot, click the button that looks like "-A-", it will start a selection from that exact frame.<br />
<br />
Step 6. Play and stop at the exact frame where the shot ends, use the same navigation method as described in step 4.<br />
<br />
Step 7. When you're at the end of the shot, click the button that looks like "-B", it will cut your selection on the frame you're paused on.<br />
<br />
Step 8. If done right, you've selected the frames that compose the shot. Now, go to "File" again, "Save as Image" and then "Save Selection as JPEG".<br />
<br />
Step 9. Pick where you wish to save all the frames you just picked, I recommend creating a special folder for them since you wouldn't want to clog something like your Downloads folder with 150 images, would ya?<br />
<br />
Step 10. After a few moments, it'll save all the images and you'll get a pop up saying something like "[number] images saved."<br />
<br />
Step 11. Close avidemux and open Microsoft ICE.<br />
<br />
Step 12. Click "New Panorama from Images".<br />
<br />
Step 13. There'll be a pop up asking you to select files, go to where you saved all the frames and pick all of them. (I personally just click Ctrl + A on my keyboard to select all files in a folder if its saved in its own unique folder, but you do you.)<br />
<br />
Step 14 . Simply hit "Next" at the top right, no need to touch any of the settings.<br />
<br />
Step 15. Wait. This bit takes a pretty long time (5-10 minutes usually) so you can go make yourself a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate or go watch a Youtube video.<br />
<br />
Step 16. After waiting a while, you'll be presented with the stitched image, hooray! Just click "Next" twice.<br />
<br />
Step 17. When you reach the export tab, pick "PNG image" under "File Format" and check the box that says "Include alpha channel" to keep any blank areas transparent.<br />
<br />
Step 18. Click "Export to disk" and select where you want the image to be saved.<br />
<br />
Step 19. Dojyaaa~~n! You've succesfully stitched a frame automatically!<br />
<br />
<br />
==Method B - Manual==<br />
<br />
Step 1. Open the video file for the episode in VLC media player (Which if you somehow don't have, just download it online), in my case, its "Episode 15 - Ultra Security House Unit.mkv".<br />
<br />
Step 2. Go to a moment right *before* the shot you want to stitch, and click "E" on your keyboard to go to the next frame, keep going until you reach the first frame of the shot.<br />
<br />
Step 3. Under "Video" on the VLC toolbar, click "Take Snapshot", this will screenshot the frame in perfect quality. It usually defaults to saving in your computer's Pictures folder.<br />
<br />
Step 4. Play for a few moments and take a few more snapshots showing more of the shot, but keep a small area where it would overlap with the previous snapshot. This will be important in a bit.<br />
<br />

The following explanation will be for Photoshop, but you should be able to figure it out on your own in the image editing software of your choice.<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 7. Extend the canvas of the first snapshot in the direction of where the shot pans, in my case, towards the top.<br />
<br />
Step 8. Copy the second snapshot and paste it onto the first one as a new layer.<br />
<br />
Step 9. Drag and move it around until the area that overlaps between the two matches, I usually set the top image to be at 60% opacity to see where they match.<br />
<br />
Step 10 . After matching the two, use the eraser tool with minimum hardness (so its soft and fades between the two images instead of having a clear "seam" between the two) and delete the area where you can clearly see the two images connect. Make sure NOT to delete too much off the top so there are no random holes in the stitch.<br />
<br />
Step 11. Do this again with all the following images, in my case its just three.<br />
<br />
Step 12. Crop any empty space so that only the stitched snapshots remain.<br />
<br />
Step 13. Save the image as a PNG.<br />
<br />
Step 14. Dojyaaa~~n! You've succesfully stitched a frame manually!<br />
==Pros & Cons==<br />
<br />
