JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders The Animation Official PV 1 and Core Cast Voices!

Ok, PV might be a little generous, but what do you want? There’s Dio, sound effects floating around, and Star Platinum ORAORAORA all over the place. Along with that we get a confirmed air date and time. Stardust Crusaders The Animation will air on April 4th on Tokyo MX.

But let’s get to the meat of the matter. Voice actors are changing, and I can hear the collective teeth grind from here. First things first, here’s the list for the core cast at the end and also from Araki-JoJo:

Jotaro – Daisuke Ono
Joseph – Unshou Ishizuka (Jet Black in Cowboy Bebop, official dub voice of Lawrence Fishburn and Liam Neeson)
Abdul – Kenta Miyake (Scar in FMA: Brotherhood, Zangief post Street Fighter IV)
Kakyoin – Daisuke Hirakawa
Polnareff – Fuminori Komatsu
DIO – Takehito Koyasu

Daisuke Ono and Takehito Koyasu are the only confirmed returning cast members from ASB. Koyasu makes sense. Koyasu was already Dio in Parts 1 and 2, so ASB wouldn’t matter here. The rumors I’ve heard are that most people are upset over losing Sugita as Old Joseph. I’m only really somewhat bothered by losing Masashi Ebara as Abdul, but I just really liked the way he did “HELL 2 U,” so if Miyake can do it, then that’s fine.

Other than that, I guess we’ll just have to wait.
