Many fans are awaiting the release ofJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 6 Stone Ocean, and Netflix just updated its media center listing, changing the release schedule of the anime.
JoJo Part 6anime no longer listed as “monthly” release
On October 9, severalJoJofans on social media noted Netflix updated the listing on its media center. Previously, it stated thatJoJo Part 6will have eachnew episode streamed “monthly”.
However,the new listinghas removed the monthly mention, hinting episodes will be released weekly like any usual anime broadcast in Japan. As you can see in the Netflix screenshot below.
In the past, Netflix regularly did monthly releases or released whole seasons altogether. Most of the time by renaming one cour / 13 episodes of an anime into a single season, even if the Japanese original listing considered 26 episodes to be one season. This makes certain series slightly more complicated to follow, as the listing of seasons is different on Netflix and in Japan.
However, Netflix is more and more starting to do simulcast, weekly releases. As seen with the upcoming art-themed animeBlue Period,which will be released weekly. So it looks likeJoJo Part 6will be one of the few series trying this out. This is definitely cooler for anime fans, used to waiting a week for one episode rather than one month for four.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Stone Oceanwill begin streaming exclusively on Netflix on December 2021, but no specific day was communicated yet.
TheJoJo Part 6anime was first announced in April 2021, with popular seiyuuFairouz Aivoicing protagonist Jolyne Cujoh. Meanwhile, the original manga by Hirohiko Araki just finished going through itsPart 8, JoJolion,after nearly 11 years. Part 9was already announced, alongside a newspin-off.
