Expect DeMarco to pick up the rights despite the shit ratings just to ensure Netflix can’t get it.

You say that like Toonami airing Stone Ocean isn't a good thing.

I’m excited mostly because Part 6 embraces much of the weirdness that is sprinkled throughout the series. Araki got pretty creative and gross with the Stands and fights this time around. 

Also, get ready for some of the most dated band names in JoJo with how many of them showed up on TRL.

Netflix had Jojo for a while, but have since removed it.

All that remains now are the Rohan OVAs.

So in that picture....did some use a Stand to nut all over them or what's the deal

It’s going to be back April 8 with Diamond is Unbreakable.

Crazy idea: since Warner actually owns the rights to JoJo, as in Part 6, as it was announced last night, what if Toonami actually premieres SUBTITLED episodes of Stone Ocean at like 3 AM, and [as] and HBO Max get an exclusivity deal for their streaming?

It would be wild for T.O.M. and S.A.R.A. to actually be voiced in Japanese again EVERY Saturday night at 3 AM (Don't worry; Shippuden would move back up to 2:30), with an episode of JoJo Part 6, perhaps leading-in to another fairly recent, obscure show on Toonami that never got a dub at 3:30 AM! The 3 AM Subtitled hour--I'd say it's time to give it a try starting with JoJo Part 6 since that would certainly make Ai Fairouz more of a household name in America than she already is!

And of course, the dubbed version would still air on Toonami later on in an earlier timeslot (12:30ish).

They're not gonna pay to air the same show in two different languages.

They've done it before with a few episodes! You're right; this probably won't happen.

But the ratings are so low at this point they MIGHT AS WELL give it a try!

And besides, the jury's still out that they WOULD need to pay for it at this point. Then again, Warner had Seasons 1 and 2 and that didn't help, but now that AT&T runs the show, weird stuff has happened like the Batman and Wonder Woman movies and the HBO Max promotions.

COULD first-run subtitled anime REALLY be that far behind? I mean, this year we ALREADY got Cosmo Samurai in Subtitles. Was that a clue?

No. I guarantee you that David Productions did not tip off Toonami in advance, months before they announced the anime, so that they could put together a subtitled miniseries that had absolutely fuckall to do with Jojo.

There's a huge difference between "We're planning a special one-night only program, can we air these specific episodes in Japanese?" and "We're going to air this 40+ episode series in Japanese and then, several months later, air the entire thing in English again."

[OwlChemist81]

Well, I guess it COULDN'T have been a clue then.

True, but you can't deny that it would be "groundbreaking!"

I hope that picture isn't an indicator of what the various merch will look like.

I don't wanna mini backpack for work covered in weird 'stuff' . Or a t-shirt. Definitely not socks.  

And this is coming from someone who wore a t-shirt with a little cartoon Jeff Goldblum flashing nipples at a baby dinosaur to work yesterday.

Looking forward to it eventually making it to Toonami.
