JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood (film)

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 ファントム ブラッド) is a movie adaptation of Part I: Phantom Blood of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga series. The film was produced to commemorate the 25th anniversary of creator Hirohiko Araki's career as a manga artist and was released theatrically on February 17, 2007 in Japan.

The main theme was Voodoo Kingdom, a single by the group Soul'd Out.

Reception
Due to negative reaction from fans and Araki himself, the film was never released on any home video format.

No official information was announced regarding the reason as to why the film was dropped. However many fans who saw the film have noted their opinion as to why the film was so poorly done. The main reasons include:
 * Robert Edward O. Speedwagon, one of Araki's favorite characters, was almost removed from the story entirely, appearing only during the Ogre Street battle.
 * The characters Poco, Dire, and Straizo were also not featured. Naturally, this means that Jonathan was alone during his final battle with Dio with no assistance.
 * The concept of Hamon was not explained clearly.
 * The movie was considered too short (Approx. 90 minutes), condensed, and basically "destroyed the original story".
