Netflix announced that the upcoming JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean anime will release monthly starting December. There are no further details yet, such as an exact date or how many episodes will come out. We recently received a new visual and trailer though, and you can watch the PV below:
Studio David Production is back to animate Stone Ocean. Toshiyuki Kato is directing the anime, while Masanori Shino in charge of the character design. Yasuko Kobayashi handles the series composition, with Kenichi Suzuki as chief director. Shunichi Ishimoto is designing the stands, while Yugo Kanno will compose the music.

Fairouz Ai, a big fan of JoJo, will voice Jolyne, and the rest of the cast includes:
Florida, U.S.A, 2011 — After an accident while on a drive with her sweetheart, Jolyne Cujoh falls into a trap and is sentenced to fifteen years at the state-run maximum-security correctional facility Green Dolphin Street Prison—AKA “the Aquarium.” On the verge of despair, she receives a pendant from her father that causes a mysterious power to awaken inside of her. “There are things in this world that are more terrifying than death, and what’s happening in this prison is definitely one of them.” A message from a mysterious boy who appears before Jolyne, inexplicable events that occur one after another, the horrifying truth told to her by her father when he comes to visit, and the name DIO… Will Jolyne ultimately be set free from this stone ocean they call a prison? The final battle to end the century-long, fateful confrontations between the Joestar family and DIO begins!!
We remember Great Pretender also had blocks of episodes at a time for its arcs (cases), and Blue Period will be have a weekly schedule from October 9. A monthly schedule for JoJo Part 6 sounds interesting, and we’ll see how many episodes at a time we get.
