Ai Fairouz, who voiced Emily Orange in Kandagawa Jet Girls and Eipiyo in If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die said that she has been a huge fan of the series.
I cannot live without 'JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure' series and it is also what aspired me to take voice acting as a profession. I cried so much as it was literally the moment my dream came true, which I have chased over for 12 years. I love and admire Jolyne as a character and her beautiful, strong nature gave me strength especially during my student years, so I am really grateful for the opportunity to voice Jolyne.

David Production produced all five released parts of the anime adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, with the first arc, Phantom Blood having premiered in 2012. The long-running manga series created by Hirohiko Araki began in 1986 and is still ongoing, currently in its 8th major arc, JoJolion.

If you read the manga, this arc is boring, no to mention the ending on this one sucks, the next arc is waaay better, Steel Ball Run.

I can confirm you are right after having read this full arc and the next full arc.
For frame of reference, Stone Ocean is better than Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable, and Part 8: JoJoLion (so far), but not as good as the other 4 existing arcs. In other words, Stone Ocean is average relative to the whole series. Jump Rope Canyon and Soda Pop Frequency were about the same level.

Oh boy. I dunno if I'll have the mental resolve to watch this particular season… and I'm pretty sure anyone else who's read the manga knows exactly what I mean by that.

I know what you mean
Disney will never let this slide
King Crimson
Maybe they could do what they usually do in anime and just bleep out any trademarked names when they say it. It's awkward but better than nothing at all?

Eh, if you can make it through Golden Wind without giving up, you should be able to make it through Stone Ocean easily.
