I hope the manga will get enough attention for this adaptation! I'd love to see Diamond is Unbreakable.

Oh man, they're going to be so surprised at the money they'll get by the end of this season.

Well, the length of the season is a bit of a double edged sword. On the one hand, they will make a lot of money per buyer since the volume count will be really high. On the other hand, the high cost of completing the set will probably limit the buyers to the absolute diehard fans.

To be honest, I'm surprised that they didn't already have Part 4 green-lit. Considering how Part 3 is what most Japanese fans remember Jojo's for from what I've heard and the first season sold pretty well, green-lighting the next couple Parts make sense. Then again, Shaft green-lit the rest of Monogatari and people suspect that might be a cause for why Monogatari's sales numbers continue to decline since there's no (or at least, a lot less) worry about whether or not they'll adapt more so there'd be less of an incentive to support it by buying the DVDs/BDs for those who are on the fence on buying it.

Let's just hope there will be enough support to make JJBA part 4 go green-lit.

More then likely we'll see it green lit. I'm sure viewership is high and there are many loyal JoJo fans out there. Many new ones as well. I'd say we'll see up to chapter 4. Beyond that is tough to say.

The diehards and the general anime buying public in Japan, a business procedure to which they are fully accustomed to.

That said, there is little doubt in my mind that the DVDs and the Blu-Rays will sell considering the popularity of Part 3 alone. I don't think I will be too worried about "Diamond Is Not Crash" being adapted sometime in the next year or the year after. Wink
