Viz Media announced at a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure panel at Anime Expo on Friday that it will release Part 1 (Phantom Blood) of the new JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure television anime series on Blu-ray Disc.
The company had also announced in February 2015 that it was the North American master merchandise licensee for the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime series, but clarified at the time that the license agreement covered the merchandise based on the anime, not the anime itself.
Viz Media had announced in March that it would stream JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Parts 1, 2, and 3, as well as the the ongoing Part 4 anime series.
Viz Media also revealed at the panel that it will release JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga creator Hirohiko Araki’s How to Create Manga (Araki Hirohiko no Manga Jutsu) book in English for US$19.99.
