JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Joseph Joestar goes to Tokyo to meet his daughter Holly and his half-Japanese grandson Jotaro Kujo ("JoJo"), a violence-prone high school rebel. Jotaro believes he's possessed by an evil spirit, but actually, he is one of the few people on Earth who have "Stands" - psychic, superpowered astral bodies corresponding to Tarot Cards. But across the world in Cairo, Dio has also returned to life as a Stand User, and now threatens the world as well as the JoJo family bloodline in particular. Together with a few Stand User friends, Joseph and Jotaro travel to Cairo, intending to kill Dio. Unfortunately, their trip takes several weeks by plane, helicopter, submarine, train, car and boat, as they are repeatedly ambushed by increasingly freakish, evil and horrific Stand Users sent by Dio to kill them. Finally, after an endless amount of travelling and fighting, they reach Cairo only to be virtually helpless against Dio's awesome and mysterious power... THE WORLD. This is an extremely violent series, loaded with weird and grotesque imagery ... the fighting series to end them all.

Juubei-Chan In this incredibly weird but funny series, every anime genre is parodied, and nothing is sacred! When the ultimate, mysterious, powerful artifact of the show is called the "Lovely Eyepatch," you know you're in for a surprise. Jubei Yagyu was the greatest swordsman in all of Japan, a legendary samurai with unmatched skill. However, even he could not defeat death. Before he died, he gave his disciple hope - there would be a successor, and this deserving person would receive all the power and skill of Yagyu Jubei, along with the Lovely Eyepatch. After 300 years of searching, the disciple finds Jiyu Nanohana, a rather ordinary girl who has just moved to a new town and started going to a new school. Jiyu, or as her father likes to call her, Jubei, is a normal eighth-grade girl in modern Japan, but with the Lovely EyePatch, she can transform into the new incarnation of Jubei Yagyu! There's just one problem - she doesn't want anything to do with it! Will she learn to accept her destiny and defeat the assassins who have been waiting over 300 years for revenge?
Jubei-chan was a hilarious 13-episode OAV series. For more information:
