Lots of things going on in JoJo video land. We can start with one of the bigger ones.
You may have already gotten to see this. This is the trailer for the first episode of JoJo’s Kitchen, a cooking show staring Hirohiko Araki. That guy next to him is Yuusei Matsui, the guy who writes Assassination Classroom. I’m not sure if Matsui is his permanent co-host, if this were to go beyond one episode, or if they’ll rotate in other Jump authors. I’d love to see Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro storm the set and try to take the show by force.
Lesser known but still of note, this is a live match between two members of who look like an idol group on a morning variety show On Demand Mornings. I don’t recognize the girls themselves, but we’ve got an actual live match of people playing ASB. There’s no real substance to their playing style since they wouldn’t know anything about the game, as you can tell by the one playing Josuke using the tried and true amateur fighting method of jumping around like a jackass, but it’s cool to see what people playing the game is like. There was a tournament bracket set behind the hosts, so there might be more of these waiting to be uploaded.
Finally, ever seen “Vaguely Recalling Jotarou’s Bizarre Adventure?” It’s a short web series where a guy tries to describe parts of Stardust Crusaders from memory with his little doodles to help visually. It’s pretty funny, and now it’s in English. This YT Channel, Mitler25, has been uploading them since a few weeks ago starting with Episode 3 and is up to Episode 14. There’s something that tickles me about jokes like, “Jotaro started to fight Polneraff, but then he stopped because this was actually Abdul’s fight.” There’s also the little bonus gags like Dio and Little Giorno standing outside Polnareff’s room with an umbrella. Give it a look.
