My friend recommended me to watch _JoJo's Bizzare Adventure_ , but when I
googled it I found there are many series.

What is the order of the anime?

What is the order of the JoJo anime series?


The JoJo's Bizzare Adventure series (as in, the manga) as a whole is devided
into 8 story arcs. 3 of these have been animated so far. I'm going to list
these in order of release, but as far as order of viewing goes... Well, let's
get to that when we get to that.  
Also, it should be noted that all of these arcs, while sharing chronologial
connetions (to a point), are rather self sustained and can be enjoyed even on
their own.

The [1993 6 episode
OVA](http://myanimelist.net/anime/666/JoJo_no_Kimyou_na_Bouken) starts at the
middle of the 3rd plot line.  
The [2000 7 episode
OVA](http://myanimelist.net/anime/665/JoJo_no_Kimyou_na_Bouken_2000) presents
the beginning of the 3rd plot line, up to where to pervious OVA starts.  
Both of these are are a bit of a relic, differ grately in animation style and
production as a while and, well the first one just oozes early 90s anime
style. As a whole (and even on their own) they tell a rather self sustained
story, but only a small part of it.

The 2012 television series is the one that actually starts the story from the
beginning. The first 26 episode season covers story arcs [1 and
2](http://myanimelist.net/anime/14719/JoJo_no_Kimyou_na_Bouken_TV).
Afterwards, starting at 2014, the series covered the [3rd arc in 48
episodes](http://myanimelist.net/anime/20899/JoJo_no_Kimyou_na_Bouken__Stardust_Crusaders).
(So, basicly doing what the OVAs did in third of the episode count.) The next
season, apparently starting at April 2016, is palled to start covering the
[4th
arc](http://myanimelist.net/anime/31933/JoJo_no_Kimyou_na_Bouken__Diamond_wa_Kudakenai).

So, where to start... If you want to get the whole story, I suggest the
television series. It follows the manga quite faithfuly and is quite coherent
in its presentation.  
However, if you want to get a quick feel for what you'll be getting into, I'd
suggest either of the OVAs (depending if you perfer the 90s style, or a more
modern style). These OVAs cover the (arguably) most popular story arc in the
series in a relatively short time. If you decide you want more, the TV series
should still be enjoyable as it covers a lot of things (not limited to the 2
first story arcs) that the OVAs skip.

There's also an [animated
movie](http://myanimelist.net/anime/3603/JoJo_no_Kimyou_na_Bouken__Phantom_Blood)
covering the 1st story arc. But it was apparently so bad that it was never
officaly released outside theatres. From what I understand, there isn't a
known, complete copy of the movie _anywhere_.
