Anime Festival Asia announced on Tuesday that it will host a screening of the first episode of the the JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken: Ōgon no Kaze (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind or Vento Aureo) anime at its Jakarta event. The screening will be the anime's Southeast Asian premiere.
The anime will premiere on television in October.
The show already premiered its first episode at an event in Japan on July 6. The first episode of the anime also screened at the Anyerri Hall in Tokyo and Japan Expo in Paris, France at the same time, and it also screened at Anime Expo in the United States on July 7.
The original manga of the same name continues the story from the previous entries in Hirohiko Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga, when Jotaro asks Koichi to travel to Naples to investigate a person known as Haruno Shiobana, whose real name is later revealed as Giorno Giovanna. The story then follows Giorno in his goal to rise to the top of the Passione mafia group and turn it into a band of honorable thieves.
AFA Jakarta 2018 is scheduled to take place at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition from August 31 to September 2. The event was previously scheduled for August 3 to 5, but the convention announced in March that it was rescheduled. The convention will be held in conjunction with the GameStart Asia event.
Anime Festival Asia will also have a Singapore event from November 30 to December 2.
