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, the show has already been commissioned for at least 26 episodes, of which less than half would be needed to cover Phantom Blood, if the first episode's pacing is any indication.


 * In the opening, 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 chronilogically match the timeline from Part I to Part VI.


 * The Ending of each episode so far shows the characters featured in that episode.
