Funimation To Stream 3 Anime Series

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Parts 1-3

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of the most famous and influential anime ever. The show adapted from the manga in 2012. Many of the character concepts, images, and ideas-like “stands,” a physical manifestation of psychic power.

The seminal manga group CLAMP began their careers making fan comics based on JBA characters. However, the persona series, in particular, owes a lot of JBA’s. Since the titular personas are just Stands by another name.

Hirohiko Araki, JBA’s writer, and illustrator is so renowned that his work has been shown at the Louvre.

Recently during the ‘JoJo’s Bizarre The Anime Special Event,’ it confirmed that the series 6th season is in production. Furthermore, they will look to adapt the Stone Ocean story arc from the manga.

While no premiere date was given, a teaser trailer was shown. With the release of 5 seasons, the 6th season will likely be released sometime in 2021.

Synopsis

JBA is the story of the Joestar family, starting with Jonathan. He is a mild-mannered Englishman who strikes up a rivalry with Dio Brando, his adopted brother. Because of a cursed mask, Dio becomes a powerful vampire, and Jonathan swears to stop him.

After learning a fighting move called the “Ripple,” which allows Jonathan to kill vampires by punching the sun into them, he goes on a quest to defeat Dio for good.

Bleach: Episodes 1-109 (the U.S), 1-209 (Canada)

Bleach began as an adaptation of the popular Shonen Jump manga beginning in 2004, animated by Studio Pierrot of Naruto fame. Due to its popularity and similarity to other popular titles, Bleach became known as one of the “Big 3” alongside Naruto and One Piece.

Compared to the other two, Bleach is a more modern setting which, for Westerners, can make it more difficult to get into due to the very noticeable cultural differences displayed.

Synopsis

The story revolves around a 15-year-old brash Ichigo Kurosaki, who is often picked in because of the unusual bright orange color of his hair. Although he seems like a hot-headed troublemaker; he has the unique ability to see ghosts and spirits in the world around him that other people can’t see.

This ability allowed him to meet Rukia Kuchiki, a shinigami (soul reaper) from the spirit world known as Soul Society. Ichigo begins to battle hollows as a death god, as his mother was killed by one.

She then invites him to “Brain Burst,” a program that allows the users to accelerate their brain waves to the point where time seems to stop. Brain Burst also functions as an augmented reality fighting game.
