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

Trivia
- The key art used for the first part of the anime, featuring Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando, is based on the cover used for the first volume of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. The cover was also used for the series debut in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
- The anime was announced on July 5, 2012 in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and unveiled during the Hirohiko Araki JoJo Exhibition 2012 press conference alongside JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle. The teaser presented a countdown video, starting with 8 to 1, each number appearing on their respective JoJo protagonist's star birthmark.
- Compared to future seasons, the Blu-Ray Disc versions of only this season are streamed on Crunchyroll. This is likely due to the website obtaining the license well after the anime finished airing, contrasting with the hour-delay upload schedules of succeeding parts.
- Producer Hisataka Kasama appointed two directors for the series: Naokatsu Tsuda and Kenichi Suzuki, which is unusual for an anime. It is because Kasama felt that it would be difficult for one person to adapt Hirohiko Araki's work and so he chose Tsuda because he was "a good comedic director" and Suzuki was a "good action director". Naokatsu Tsuda says that if he had been asked to direct the anime by himself, then he might have refused, but he felt reassured to have a partner for this role.[2]
