NEWS: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Anime's Trailer Previews 3rd, Final Part

I wish they just use the original title for this anime. Stone Free, not stone ocean.

The animation looks awful and this arc needs top tier animation. It's a shame that David Pro made such awful decisions with this one.

Certainly feels like they prioritized the Urusei Yatsura remake over this.

Either that or the whole Netflix "have x number of episodes out on this or that date" is partially to blame too. More than a few anime have been affected by it and/or Netflix's general lack of quality control.

One of the main members in the production comittee for Urusei Yatsura's remake is Fuji TV, which is DP's parent company. So I don't think that prioritizing it over Jojo was a conscious decision made by them, more so it was demanded of them. Plus it being a four-cour production means it naturally needed more resources.

That, and the fact that Naokatsu Tsuda, who was involved in every part so far in the directioral role, was not involved here - likely because he was busy with Tokyo 24th Ward, which also had it's share of production issues - means that Stone Ocean was already in a very bad spot from the start.
