Compared to other long-running shounen series like Naruto or One Piece, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is... unusual. Its signature over-the-top style and decades-long publication history set it apart from other Shonen Jump franchises, but what really makes Hirohiko Araki’s opus unique is its structure. Instead of following one hero on a seemingly never-ending journey, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is split into eight parts of varying genre and length that each focus on a new member of the Joestar family.
Ever since the reveal trailer on February 27, the internet has been abuzz with hopes and theories for the new generation 8 Pokémon games. We don’t know many details yet, but between now and its release date near the end of 2019, there’s plenty of room for speculation.

23 years after Hirohiko Araki unleashed JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind upon an unsuspecting world, this magnificent mafia manga has made the transition to anime.

Fruits Basket is one of the most influential shoujo manga out there, especially to Westerners. The tankobans released by Tokyopop served as the introduction for many of us to Japanese romance stories, and the 2001 anime was massively popular both here and all over the world.
And since remaking classic properties into new anime is all the rage right now, it seems to make perfect sense that Natsuki Takaya’s magnum opus would be next in line. If you’re new to the series or just want a refresher on this hallmark of romance manga, read on to find out what you need to know about Fruits Basket before you watch the remake!
