After fans got angry over the lack of promotion for the show’s second part, it looks like fans are still angry at Netflix for its JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean promotion strategy.
Recently, Netflix shared a quick update about Stone Ocean’s last set of episodes on Twitter, and it received lots of angry comments from fans voicing their displeasure over Netflix’s promotion of the show.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Netflix Release
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is an anime series by David Production that’s based on the manga of the same name by Hirohiko Araki.
The manga began back in 1987 and has since grown to become one of the most popular titles in Japan and internationally.
As for the anime series, its latest season adapts Part 6 of the manga entitled Stone Ocean.
Netflix holds exclusive streaming rights for the anime internationally, and it releases the show in an unusual release schedule.
While typical anime series are released weekly, Stone Ocean is released in chunks.
The first part of the series consists of the first 12 episodes and was released on December 1, 2021. Episodes 13-24 were then released on September 1, 2022.
Episodes 25-38 are the last set, and they will be released this December. The final episodes’ release date was announced just last month.
Given this unusual release schedule, fans online have voiced their opinions.
Many fans believe that this release strategy means there is little to no discussion online about Stone Ocean, unlike with a weekly series.
