Synopsis

Kujo Jotaro is a normal, popular Japanese high-schooler, until he thinks that he is possessed by a spirit, and locks himself in prison. After seeing his grandfather, Joseph Joestar, and fighting Joseph's friend Muhammad Abdul, Jotaro learns that the "Spirit" is actually Star Platinum, his Stand, or fighting energy given a semi-solid form. Later, his mother gains a Stand, and becomes sick. Jotaro learns that it is because the vampire Dio Brando has been revived 100 years after his defeat to Jonathan Joestar, Jotaro's great-great-grandfather. Jotaro decides to join Joseph and Abdul in a trip to Egypt to defeat Dio once and for all.

I would never recommend this OVA to anyone as a replacement for the manga or the 2014 anime adaptation, but as it's own thing and a companion piece to the original story that offers different takes on some things it works surprisingly well.

The character designs are at least interesting, the animation is extremely fluid (vastly outshining SC anime) and the music is great at illustrating the tone.

Mixed Feelings
The 90s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure OVA can be a bit confusing because Studio A.P.P.P. adapted Stardust Crusaders in two series: the later portion of Stardust Crusaders was released first in 1993, followed by the earlier part as a prequel in 2000. Also, this OVA trims a lot of the story and is not as faithful to the manga compared to the newer 2014 David Production anime. The 1993 OVA also marked Satoshi Kon’s directorial debut, who probably contributed to the drastically darker tone carried over to both series, which unfortunately sacrifices a lot of humour from the manga. Marco D’Ambrosio composed the soundtrack for both ...

Preliminary (4/7 eps)
I have recently watched the Part 3 Anime by David Productions and read the Manga and I have to say, this adaptation is not up to par.

The tone of the original story is missing and by making the story overly serious, it loses a lot of its charm and makes it like any other generic shounen. The animation cuts out many of the parts where action is supposed to be happening to focus on the uninteresting reactions. I didnt mind how they restructured the story to condense it down but they didnt take advantage of condensing it in any way. For a story that was ...
