JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Watch Order
10 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (TV), JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (TV), JJBA, ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 (TV)
The JoJo's Bizarre Adventure watch order follows David Production's adaptation part by part, so the correct order is each Joestar generation back to back. Begin with Phantom Blood, Episodes 1-9 of the 2012 series, then Battle Tendency, Episodes 10-26 of the same series. Next comes Stardust Crusaders in two cours, Episodes 1-24 and then Battle in Egypt, Episodes 25-48, followed by Diamond Is Unbreakable (Episodes 1-39), Golden Wind (Episodes 1-39) and Stone Ocean (Episodes 1-12, then 13-38). Steel Ball Run, the seventh part, is streaming on Netflix: the 1st STAGE is a single 47-minute episode (March 2026), and the 2nd & 3rd STAGE runs 11 weekly episodes from 25 September to 4 December 2026. Jojolion, the eighth part, has no anime announced yet. Watching in this chronological order preserves the Stand lineage and generational callbacks that make the saga click. If you're new and unsure where to start, the opening Phantom Blood episodes are the entry point, and each later part picks up the Joestar bloodline from there.

How this order works
AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special for a franchise in chronological story order, the order the events happen. When an OVA or movie takes place partway through a season, the episode range is split so it sits where it belongs. Entries you can skip are marked optional, and each order says where to start. Release order, sorted by air date, is a secondary view once every entry has a date. The orders began as a hand-curated set, and episode counts and air dates come from AniList. Fans maintain the orders from there. Any signed-in user can edit one. Edits from trusted contributors go live right away and the rest are reviewed first. Every change is versioned and can be reverted, and each order shows when it was last updated and last checked.
