Hey, are you alive?
Still crusading?
Unfortunately not rn. I'm dormant with JoJo at the moment and I've been bogged down with uni work but maybe SBR will kickstart my JoJo phase again and I'll come back. We shall see :)
Hey, I just wanted to say that I’m also a huge fan of the 1993 JoJo OVA. A few days ago, I managed to get my hands on an extremely rare shirt related to the OVA — from what I’ve heard, it was only given out to staff members who worked on the project. I paid over $2,000 for it
OH MY GOD THAT'S ACTUALLY SO COOL?????
I feel like this is something the Phantom Blood Archives server would love to hear about
also kind of curious on what it looks like
The Crusade
Brief History
Before the 2012 David Production anime, there was another adaptation of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure done in 1993 by Studio A.P.P.P. (Another Push Pin Planning). It was 6 episodes long and adapted the Stardust Crusaders Battle in Egypt arc. In 2000, Studio A.P.P.P. adapted the beginning of Stardust Crusaders. These were 7 episodes long. All 13 episodes had a half an hour run time. In 2007. Studio A.P.P.P. released a film adapting the first part of JoJo, Phantom Blood. According to viewer testimonies, the film was roughly 90 minutes long and ran for 3 months in various cinemas. After that, it was never seen again. All that exists now are the 16-minute workprint, 2004 teaser, 2 trailers, and various promotional materials.
What I’m doing on this blog
I simply want to bring attention to the JoJo OVAs as they were a brilliant piece of media and criminally underrated. I also want to provide content for fellow fans and provide resources to be able to watch them. In addition, I want to bring attention to the Phantom Blood movie so there could eventually be some sort of full release. I will be doing all this by
creating my own original content (in the form of clips, text posts, homegrown shitposts, and more if I ever gain new skills)
reblogging content from other creators (art, gifs, and shitposts)
providing information
advertising other’s works (outside of Tumblr)
and more (if I think of more)
Even if I go dormant at least my resources will be archived :) (I am a university student so I may be slow)
Disclamer: I am not affiliated with anyone I post about. I do not own any website I advertise. I only want to share what I have learnt.
Where can I watch the OVAs? (EDIT: 16/03/2023 Notelu’s restoration is down)
There are two places I go to to watch the OVAs. Notelu’s restorations on Internet Archive and aniwave. Do not watch the ones on YouTube as the quality is less than ideal (to say the least). We mean stretched footage and overly saturated colours, and in some cases bad audio delay.
https://archive.org/details/JJBAOVA Notelu’s version contains files for the English, Japanese, French, and Italian dubs as well as colour corrections (check out her channel for the comparisons).
https://aniwave.to/watch/jojos-bizarre-adventure-2000.4v2m/ep-1
https://aniwave.to/watch/jojos-bizarre-adventure.4xy7/ep-1 Alternatively you can watch it on aniwave. However, the highest video quality is 480p while Notelu’s is 1080p. And again, Notelu has done colour corrections which enhances the viewing experience.

Important
Do not contact the people behind the Phantom Blood movie. They will not answer you and we already have people working on this.
Do not ask me for the Phantom Blood Archive discord link. While I am a member I am unsure if I am allowed to share it (the link expires in 7 days anyway). If you want to join you can find a link online. I have made sure to check. EDIT 20/03/24: Link added still keeping this incase I have to remove it for any reason
Do not unnecessarily contact the people searching for the film. They are busy people. phantombloodarchive.org has a contact feature, if you have something to contribute or have a question that is a good place to go. Please be mindful when using this.
OVA fans, do not bash any anime fans. They have the right to enjoy the anime and it benefits no one to attack them. Do not force them to watch the OVAs either.
Anime fans, please do not bash the OVA fans. We are only a small group and just want to show that it exists and has massive shitpost (and shipping) potential.
