## The JOJOLands Anime Is Happening
David Production has officially confirmed that *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The JOJOLands* (Part 9) will receive a full anime adaptation. The announcement came via the franchise's official channels and marks the continuation of David Production's unbroken run animating every part of Hirohiko Araki's landmark manga since 2012.
### What Is The JOJOLands?
*The JOJOLands* began serialization in *Ultra Jump* in February 2023, introducing **Jodio Joestar** — a 15-year-old living in Hawaii who works as part of a small criminal gang. The story's opening arc centers on a heist to steal a rare pink diamond from a wealthy Japanese tourist, but as with every JoJo part, what begins as a grounded crime narrative quickly escalates into something far stranger and more cosmologically ambitious.
Jodio's Stand, **Dragona Joestar's** (his older sibling) and the gang's wider ensemble make *The JOJOLands* one of the most character-dense openings in the franchise's history.
**Confirmed details:**
- David Production returns as the animation studio
- The announcement confirms a production greenlight; no release window has been specified
- The core creative team from *Stone Ocean* and *The JOJOLands*-era productions is expected to continue
- Both subtitled and dubbed versions are planned across global streaming partners
### Why This Matters for the Franchise
*Steel Ball Run* (Part 7) and *JoJolion* (Part 8) reshaped the franchise's mythology entirely, introducing the Spin, the Steel Ball Run race, and the concept of the Locacaca. *The JOJOLands* is the direct continuation of that alternate universe, and represents Araki's most ambitious structural gambit since he relocated JoJo to America in Part 7.
For anime-only viewers who have followed David Production's adaptations since 2012, *The JOJOLands* will be the final piece of the alternate-universe trilogy — a deeply layered payoff fourteen years in the making.
### Catching Up Before the Premiere
The Otakiva catalog includes the full original-universe run through *Golden Wind*. Viewers catching up before *The JOJOLands* airs should note that **Parts 7–9 are set in a distinct alternate timeline** from Parts 1–6, so prior knowledge of the original universe, while enriching, is not a prerequisite.
