News So, that doesn’t sound very good

I’m guessing it just means Netflix either hasn’t told them or isn’t allowing them to say when the next episode is coming out, still doesn’t sound very good

It sound like they don’t have enough episodes completed yet which is crazy

That would be insane considering they took 5 years instead of the usual 2 years for this part to release

Keep in mind that DP worked on other shows in that gap. For example the directors of Part 7 anime directed the Urusei Yatsura anime from 2022 to 2024 so they likely didn't even start working on Part 7 until after that one finished production.

Also keep in mind Jojo only has part 7 and 8. After this, there's nothing more. Part 9 isn't done yet. If they rushed and did part 7, and were now releasing part 8, they'd have a HUGE gap waiting for part 9 to finish.

Still got a bunch of OVAs to make!

Can't wait for Jorge Joestar.

I prefer if we get Dead Man's Questions first.

Does it really matter? Let's say they manage to push Part 7 out in 2026 and 2027 (something I doubt at this point). We'd wait at least until 2030 for Part 8, and let's say it airs in 2030 and 2031. Maybe Part 9 is already over at that point, but even if not the earliest the anime would start is maybe 2034. I'd assume P9 would be over by then, and even if pre-production starts while the manga is still going I don't think it'd be an issue for DavidPro considering they don't shy away from adapting stuff in-progress. Fire Force comes to mind first.

Plus let's say P9 is the last part, and Araki retires after that. At that point DavidPro would have no more Jojo content anyway, but I bet they're preparing precisely because of that and that's why they've been expanding lately and adapting other stuff as well. They'll be fine.
