There’s no shortage of great anime series to binge on, but if you’re looking for a wacky action romp, then Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is an easy recommendation. Luckily, several of Blu-ray box sets are on sale for Black Friday, so if you’ve been looking to jump into this cult-classic collection, this is the best time to do so.
While not every box set is on sale, the deals make for a fairly comprehensive collection of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Blu-rays to pick up. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is adapted from Hirohiko Araki’s manga for the same name. It chronicles the history of the Joestar family, with each arc focusing on a different member in its sprawling lineage, and each arc features its own unique themes and tone–from martial arts epics to supernatural murder mysteries and crime thrillers. They’re also packed with fun homages to musicians and bands, with references to icons like Led Zeppelin, Dolly Parton, Kenny Loggins, and more sprinkled throughout the entire series.
If you want to start at the beginning, you can grab a set that includes the first two seasons, Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency. Phantom Blood tells the story of Jonathan Joestar and his evil adopted vampire brother Dio Brando, and its sequel sees Jonathan’s descendant, Joseph Joestar, take on the seemingly invincible shape-shifters known as the Pillar Men.
