When I watched Jojo season 1 on CR right before Stardust came out, it was the uncensored version. I don't know what thy've done since but they did in that instance.

Oh shit, I've never watched Jojo but I love the memes. This might be the perfect time to jump in.
Or... not :(Not in the UK.
The English dub isn't that great for Parts 1 and 2. The decision to give people exaggerated accents is controversial, and I'm fine with it, but the voice direction isn't the best regardless. It gets better with Part 3, and the Part 4 dub has been fantastic.
I recommend sticking to the subs.
I might rewatch both Parts soon.
Phantom Blood is more enjoyable with hindsight and some unintentional comedy. Battle Tendency is still one of the best JoJo parts.

Watching now. Is this current, or was this made in the 90s? Have always known the name but never got around to watching it.
Edit: Says it's from 2012, but there were earlier JoJo series, no?

JoJo is a manga that started in the 80s. There's been some games, OVAs and a film here and there but this is the first dedicated and complete adaptation of the material we're seeing.
Yeah specifically there was a 1993 OVA of a cut up adaptation of the second half of Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, then a 2000 OVA of the first half of P3. Both adaptations cut out a LOT of the series and also were very serious in their tone, so even though the 93 OVA had some directorial powerhouses and stellar animation, it's let down by the tone. Then 2007 got a Part 1: Phantom Blood movie that apparently was so bad it's never seen the light of day.
There was a late 90's PS1 and Dreamcast Capcom fighter that had an HD remaster on X360 and PS3, but I believe has since been delisted.
The 2012 adaptation of Parts 1 and 2 coincided with the 25 anniversary of the manga, and now here in 2019 we are a little over halfway through the anime of Part 5: Golden Wind.
The manga is currently deep into Part 8, and is monthly so it's been running since 2011 and still has at least 2-3 years left to go.
Thanks. I remember seeing stuff for it in the 90s. Must have been what you mentioned. Might check out the manga on Shonen Jump if I dig the anime.
a week before season 1 is?
EDIT: oh i see, this thread is a year old
i played the shitty PS2 game based off of it and it was very bad.
The Golden Wind PS2 game is also bad, watched a play through on youtube
Yea it probably looks decent at 4k, I need a Jojo game with character action game combo system/light rpg elements
I just started JoJo's like a month ago and I'm already to the currently undubbed episodes of Golden Wind. I haven't watched an anime series in forever but between the music reference names (although the subs/dub kind of mess that up) and runway explosion poses it really has its hooks in me.
It doesn't say, but I doubt it won't include both. The dub ended on Toonami a few years ago and I think they stopped putting up anime without dubs a few years ago for the U.S. (which is probably why we only have less than half of Hunter X Hunter...)
