Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean Trailer
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventureis an anime adaptation of the long-running manga series created byHirohiko Araki. This new trailer for its fifth season,Stone Ocean, teases what looks like a wild ride under chief directorKenichi Suzuki. It will center on the character of Jolyne Cujoh, voiced byFairouz Ai, as she lands herself in prison for a crime she didn’t commit.
It’s always fun to hear Japanese dialogue peppered with English phrases like “maximum security!” There’s a kid, possibly a ghost, in an old-timey baseball uniform running around this particular women’s prison. What’s surprising is that they let the inmates wear their green hair up in a split bun like Princess Leia, with green lipstick and green nail polish.
With shows likeGodzilla Singular PointandYasuke, both of which we profiled in recent columns here on /Film, Netflix has continued to expand its anime roster this year. Last month, however, itdelayedSpriggan— another upcoming series from David Production, the same animation studio behindStone Ocean— to 2022. In the near future, it will also be facing some stiff competition on the streaming anime front. Just this week, Sony closedits $1.2 billion dealto acquire Crunchyroll, with plans to merge it and Funimation into a single anime streaming service.
Jojo’s Bizarre AdventureStone Oceanhas an energy to it that should appeal to fans looking for anime to watch online. Here’s the official synopsis via Netflix:
