For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, we’re returning to the much-beloved anime adaptation of Hirohiko Araki’s legendary manga, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, with episodes 1 through 6 of the sixth part, Stone Ocean. This one stars a lady, but she still does the usual poses and fights a bunch of muscley guys in ever-more-convoluted ways.

Next is Saint Young Men (2013), a Japanese animated buddy comedy, based on the manga of the same name, starring Jesus and Buddha as a pair of roommates in modern Tokyo. Hilarity ensues as they blog, debate religion, and become involved with the yakuza. This director Noriko Takao’s sole feature-film credit so far, though she was one of several directors on The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006) and Lucky Star (2007); this is one of the very few anime films directed by a woman. Good reviews for this; let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
