JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Anime Debuts in Italian

The anime adaptation of Hirohiko Araki's manga 'Stone Ocean,' the sixth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, has been released in Italian with dubbing by Nexus Tv, featuring voice actors Massimiliano Lotti and Claudio Moneta. The story follows Jolyne Kujo, wrongfully imprisoned in Green Dolphin Street Prison in Florida in 2011, who must save her father Jotaro and reclaim her freedom while battling enemies sent by Dio Brando's follower. The series is known for its unique visual style and extensive pop culture references, including nods to music, fashion, and cinema. Araki cites inspirations from Renaissance sculptures by Michelangelo and Bernini, painters Giorgio Morandi and Paul Gauguin, and filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch. Character names in Stone Ocean are drawn from fashion brands such as Gucci, Hermès, and Versace, while Stand powers reference musicians like Foo Fighters and Queen. The manga one-shot 'Jolyne, Fly High with GUCCI' (2013) featured designs from Gucci's Cruise 2013 collection by Frida Giannini. Jolyne was created against editorial advice that a female protagonist would not be accepted by Shōnen Jump's audience, but she became a fan favorite. The series explores themes of growth and freedom, with Jolyne's Stand 'Stone Free' symbolizing her desire to escape.
