JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Watch Order
Good news: JoJo is one of the easy ones. Each part follows a new JoJo but the story is continuous, so you simply watch in release order — which is also chronological.
Recommended order
Watch the anime in release order. Parts connect across generations, and later parts reference earlier ones, so starting from Phantom Blood gives every callback its full weight. Push through Part 1 — it’s short and the series levels up fast.

FAQ
What order should I watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in?
Release order, starting with Phantom Blood (Part 1). It matches the chronological story and preserves every generational callback.
Can I skip Part 1 of JoJo?
You can, but it’s only nine episodes and sets up the Joestar bloodline and Dio. Watching it makes Battle Tendency and Stardust Crusaders land much harder — we recommend starting from the beginning.
Watch orders are hand-written and reviewed editorially; fans disagree on some franchises.
