BURBANK, CA
(May 20, 2015) — Delve into the mysterious trek of the Joestar family from the
very beginning of the popular manga tale when Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
releases the DVD
and digital anime anthology, JoJo’s
Bizarre Adventure: The Complete First Season, on July 28, 2015.
Featuring
all 26 episodes on three DVDs, JoJo’s
Bizarre Adventure: The Complete First Season ($49.45 SRP) follows the enthralling,
decades-spanning story of wealthy, young Jonathan Joestar and his adoptive
brother Dio Brando, the latter of whom uses a mysterious stone mask to become a
powerful vampire and further aid his attempt to gain control of the Joestar
fortune. The first season covers two
distinct arcs set 50 years apart – “Phantom Blood” depicts the battle between
Jonathan and Dio, while the future “Battle Tendency” focuses on Jonathan’s
grandson Joseph’s pursuit of the mask’s creators, the Pillar Men.
Based on the
monumentally popular manga series by internationally acclaimed author Hirohiko
Araki, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: The
Complete First Season
runs the full gamut of genres so prevalent in today’s pop culture: supernatural,
adventure, comedy, horror, action and mystery. The series is also infused with
pop culture references, particularly in the realm of American rock music,
including a driving soundtrack that features the band Yes and their 1971 hit,
“Roundabout.”
“Few manga series
have risen to the level of popularity of this franchise, making this
it a
true privilege to release
begin releasing this epic anime series on DVD and digital,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Vice
President, Family & Animation Marketing. “The sheer scope of the first, multigenerational
