JOJO’S
BIZARRE ADVENTURE is based on Hirohiko Araki’s critically acclaimed
Shonen Jump manga series that depicts the multigenerational exploits of
the heroic Joestar family and their never-ending battle against evil. In
the anime series, the Aztecs – the people of the sun – once prospered
in ancient Mexico. They had a bizarre stone mask that brought eternal
life and the power of a domineering ruler to he who wore it, but at some
point, the mask disappeared without a trace. Years later, in the late
19th Century, when men's lifestyles and outlooks on life were
quickly changing, Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando meet, and the stone
mask binds them to a rather curious fate...
“Audiences
will definitely want to catch the launch of JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE:
PHANTOM BLOOD on Adult Swim,” says Charlene Ingram, Senior Marketing
Manager, Animation. “Packed with heroic main characters, flamboyant
villains and plenty of over the top action, this series is without
equal!”
