How Many Episodes In Jojo Stone Ocean

Okay, let's talk Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. Specifically, how many episodes it has. Buckle up, because this might get a little...subjective.

The Official Number (And Why It Feels Wrong)

Officially, Stone Ocean boasts a whopping 38 episodes. Spread across three separate "parts" released on Netflix. Sounds like a lot of JoJo, right?

But here's my controversial take: it feels like less. Maybe it's the way the episodes were dropped in chunks.

Netflix and the Binge-Watching Black Hole

Netflix has ruined us all. We devour shows in days, sometimes hours. Remember when we had to wait a week between episodes?

Now, we inhale entire seasons in one sitting. This definitely impacts how we perceive a show's length. Stone Ocean simply vanished too quickly!

I think that with the initial release of 12 episodes, it flew by.

It's the Pacing, Stupid! (My Unpopular Opinion)

Beyond the binge-watching effect, the pacing in Stone Ocean felt...off at times. Certain arcs dragged a bit, while others felt rushed.

Look, I love the characters. Jolyne is a fantastic JoJo. But some fights felt longer than they needed to be.

Maybe it's just me. It’s not that the story is bad, the pacing in anime is a subjective thing.

The Villain Problem (Another Controversial Point)

While Pucci is undeniably a compelling villain, his motivations sometimes felt a bit convoluted. And some of his stand users? Well, let's just say they weren't all memorable.

A strong villain can make or break a season. And to me Pucci started strong but fizzled a little.

This might have contributed to the perception that Stone Ocean felt shorter than it actually was.

So, 38 Episodes? Or Less?

Technically, yes, Stone Ocean has 38 episodes. And I enjoyed a good chunk of them. Jolyne Cujoh is a breath of fresh air.

But due to the Netflix release schedule and pacing issues. it felt like a shorter run compared to other parts of JoJo.

It flies by so fast, which could be both a good and a bad thing.

Maybe It's Just Me Being Greedy

Let's be honest: I just want more JoJo. Always. Forever. Is that too much to ask?

So maybe my perception of Stone Ocean's length is skewed by my desire for endless JoJo's Bizarre Adventure goodness. The ending left me wanting more.

Perhaps I should just rewatch it. Multiple times. That's a perfectly rational response, right?

In Conclusion (Before I Start Another Rewatch)

Stone Ocean, with its official 38 episodes, is a wild ride. One I appreciate.

But whether it feels like enough is a matter of personal opinion. And mine? Well, it's definitely complicated. I blame Netflix. And maybe Pucci just a little bit.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go yell at a disc. Jolyne!
