Behind the Scenes
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Although JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is one of the largest series in Japan, it'd be quite some time before it received a full TV anime adaption. When Hiroyuki Omori, a producer at Warner Brothers Japan, was approached about making an anime for the series, he initially thought it was too difficult a task for any one studio to pull off. However, after getting permission from Shueisha, Omori set out on finding a suitable studio for the project.[1]
Omori chose David Production as the studio to animate JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation because of their work on the series Tatakau Shisho, which showed "showed powerful linework and careful animation", and therefore convinced him they could adapt a series like JoJo. All three parts of the anime (including Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency and Stardust Crusaders) were greenlit simultaneously in 2011.[2] However, pre-production for the first season wouldn't start until March 2012.
With the success of the first season, the studio immediatly begun work on the second season,Stardust Crusaders.
The fourth season of the anime, Golden Wind, was greenlit in January 2017. On July 25, 2017, the directors for the season went on a trip to Italy to begin location scouting, which lasted roughly eight to nine days.[3]
Takahiro Kishida, who had previously worked as an animator for OVAs was brought back as the character designer.
Production on the fifth series of anime started in March 2021, a month prior to it's announcement at JOESTAR The Inherited Soul.
