Trivia

 * It is unknown how much of the manga the anime will cover, but during the preview reel, all eight JoJo's seen thus far were featured. In addition, a teaser at the end of season one contained scenes from Part 3, including the protagonist, Jotaro Kujo.


 * In Opening 1, manga panels can be seen at the start, featuring Jolyne, Josuke, Giorno, Jotaro and Joseph. This could be another hint about the length of the anime. In which case, the anime will only feature the original storyline ending with Stone Ocean. This may be due to the fact that Steel Ball Run and Jojolion take place in an alternate universe and do not chronologically match the timeline from Part I to Part VI.


 * The Ending credits of each episode features the characters that were present in that episode, with exceptions from episodes that had the credits overlap the ending scenes.
 * The anime features strong censorship, such as "dark shadows" covering the character's wounds and blood. The episodes in the Blu-Ray discs, however, have these censors removed.
