In 1987 Hirohiko Araki started a Saga that expands to multiple generations, Jojo’s Bizarre adventure. Most long-running anime go stale due to multiple fillers and focusing on one protagonist can be a chore too. I mean look how unwatchable Detective Conan, Naruto, and One Piece had become. Jojo’s Bizarre adventure is different because every ark focuses on a different protagonist who is a member of the Joestar family. Every protagonist of each book goes by the nickname, Jojo and all of them have a star shaped birthmark. The Manga is still ongoing and with the long lifespan Japanese people have, I am sure more Jojo books will come. Araki’s ability to reinvent himself as a Mangaka made Jojo a franchise that never goes stale.
There are rumors that Araki is a Vampire. I mean look at him looking Youthful in his 60s. In Celebration of the upcoming 6th Season, Here are all the anime you need to binge on while waiting for the 6th season.
