Never thought the day would come, and where the hell is Phantom Blood? I don't care if the movie's terrible, I still want it.

Hm. Well, I never bothered getting into Jojo, so this might be a good opportunity to.

If it's based on Part 3 then they better have an alternative for a certain scene in order to avoid getting any heat like with the original series.

If they truly do start from Part 1, if that tiny little animation there is to be trusted, it'll be interesting to see if they compact things or try to go the Full Shonen Jump or something - with Bleach over and only maybe a few more years coming out of Naruto, it'll be funny if they're setting up Jojo to be the next successor. :B

Although really whatever either way YAAAAAAAAAAAY

I would be excited if they animated the entire series starting with Phantom Blood. I think the series never caught on in the US because they started with Stardust Crusaders and didn't really do much with the other arcs. At least it appears the video game covers characters from Phantom Blood to Steel Ball Run.

Never thought I would see the day either.

Now if only they would make 3x3 Eyes into a TV anime. The OVA was great.
