Which parts does this review cover?
Parts 1 and 2, listed by Netflix together as Phantom Blood/Battle Tendency.
JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: PHANTOM BLOOD & BATTLE TENDENCY
QUICK TAKE
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure makes melodrama its own visual language. The first two generations of the Joestar family bring family rivalry, supernatural combat, grand poses, and sudden tonal turns. The theatrical style is the point, although viewers who prefer restrained dialogue or realism may need time to adjust.

A FAMILY SAGA THAT REFUSES TO BE SUBTLE
This review focuses on Netflix’s Phantom Blood/Battle Tendency grouping: Jonathan Joestar’s conflict with Dio Brando, followed by the next generation’s fight against a different supernatural threat. That is a deliberate starting scope, not a review of every JoJo part or later adaptation. The story’s changing generations are part of the franchise’s identity.
THEATRICALITY AS A SUPERPOWER
JoJo turns poses, declarations, and visual exaggeration into storytelling tools. Its battles are built around personality and clever reversals as much as strength, and the shift between the first and second generations gives the opening saga an unexpected new rhythm. The style can feel intentionally over-the-top; when it clicks, that excess makes the series instantly recognizable.
VERDICT
The first two parts are a flamboyant, inventive introduction to the Joestar saga. Start here for the family rivalry and theatrical supernatural action, while knowing that the franchise changes protagonists and style as it continues.
Netflix lists the series as TV-MA. This review is limited to Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency; it does not cover later parts.
