The cult anime JoJo Bizzare Adventure is MVP for me. It have a lot of references on verious real life persons bands etc. Most known is for this 'cause they do poseing. The legacy of your bloodline or in Japanese [SONO CHI NO SADAME!] is the best line in opening theme song.
The first part focus on young Johnatan Joestar (JoJo) who is in constant rivary with his adoptive brother Dio Brando. The name and surname is from 2 persons (Ronnie James Dio and Marlon Brando) in 1880. The story begin when George Joestar travel with his wife home and experienced a carriage accident. A robber try to rob him since he was thinking that he is dead, but no, Joe see the figure standing alongside him and was thinking that he saved him. So a robber play alongside and Joe say to him that he is in his debupt forever.
Both grow up as rivals and Dio hated Johnatan because he wanted inheritage of Joestar family, so Dio slowly killing his adoptive father. After Johnatan realize that, it was to late and father die. Soon after Dio discover mysterious ancient stone mask which said that it gives you enormus powers once you were, but as a cost, you can only walk in the night. (The mask transform you to a vampire). So Dio hatered grow even more and fight with his brother Johnatan for inheritance; as a cost a Joestar mantion burn to the ground.
The second JoJo follows Joeseph Joestar (JoJo) a son of Johnatan who die on a cruse ship when Dio stole his body. Yes you heard me right. The second story is put in 1938 Joeseph fights against the creators of that stone mask called The Pillar Man. The story goes trough WWII and Nazi's are involved in it. They are defeated By Joeseph at the end with power called Hamon. Hamon is basicly an energy mostly used in martial art Sendo. For me this is very interesting, cause belive it or not this is true, it's just call different in real life.
The third JoJo follows the adventures of Jotaro Kujo. A young man who is decendent of Joseph Joestar, infact he is his grandson. He is stabern selfish punk who thinks that are all benith trash, but he had also a soft side, since he is justiceaful a lot... with that i mean he tolerate justice and disrespect those who don't. Story goes that Jotaro and Joseph need to save Jotaro's mom from dieing of the illness and in meantime defear ressurecter enemy Dio Brando.
Then comes year 1999 we meet illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar Josuke Higashikata, He and his gang of friends seeking a decade long term homecides. Basicly this is the most unwanted JoJo character of all JoJo universe since poseing become even more rediculous as ever have been before. Also 'Stands' are intruduced here. For those who don't know what stand is.... basicly is life energy or spiritual energy.
Next JoJo is set in 2001. It follows the adventures of another JoJo. Giorno Giovanna. Set in Italia Giorno is a son somehow of Dio Brando. Giorno had an ambition to rise to top of the most powerful mafia gangs on the whole italia called Passione.
Anime is really great and JoJo become cult anime, which a lot of references are put in it. And a lot of good opening theme music is in it. People create memes and all. They say that all as we say it's JoJo references even OMG or holy s*** and much much more. For example one of the characters was named Robert E. O. Speedwagon which is reference on REO Speedwagon band. Here is an opening theme song for JoJo Bizzaare Adventure which is from 1987 and still kicking today and it wont end soon since creator is planing to do all seasons to 9 ..... we are in season 4 currently.
When I was younger I watched cartoons.For this anime JoJo Bizzare Adventure I am hearing first time.Great,I learned something new.
