What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Fast, fluid lightsaber fights and starship clashes give The Ninth Jedi a sharp action pulse, while sweeping alien landscapes lend its journey a sense of scale. The Japanese-animated miniseries follows one continuous quest, carrying its travelers from encounter to encounter rather than resetting the adventure. A more mature edge tempers the pulpy excitement as the enemy grows stronger and the mission becomes increasingly dangerous.

Each new recruit changes the makeup of the traveling crew. Finding another fighter is only part of the task; the Jedi also have to judge whether an ally can be trusted when their cause comes under pressure. Quieter moments of camaraderie let friendships take shape between battles, while doubts and tested loyalties complicate the work of turning a ragtag band into a united force.

Action & AdventureAction

The Japanese drama series "Chiruran: Shinsengumi Requiem," internationally titled "Song of the Samurai," follows Toshizo Hijikata and the warriors of the Shinsengumi as they fight through the violent final years of the Edo period. Blending historical drama with intense "Japanese Sword Action," the series depicts the bonds, rivalries, and fiery lives of men who chose to burn brightly and fall with honor.

Why this pick

The Ninth Jedi’s fast sword fights and tested loyalties make Song of the Samurai a natural choice for another action-packed tale of comrades under pressure. Here, samurai face bloody clashes in narrow streets, while brotherhood and rivalry give the battles a tragic, more grounded feel.

Chronicles the struggles of the cursed Joestar bloodline against the forces of evil. Beginning in 1880, Part I follows Jonathan Joestar as he matures with and eventually combats his adoptive brother, the cunning, merciless Dio Brando. Set in 1938, Part II follows the misadventures of Joseph Joestar, grandson of Jonathan, as he masters the Ripple in order to combat hostile, ancient super-beings named the Pillar Men; creators of the Stone Mask. Part III follows Jotaro Kujo and his group as they journey from Tokyo to Cairo to save his mother's life by defeating his family's resurrected archenemy, Dio. In Part IV, an Arrow manifesting latent Stand abilities travels throughout Morioh, Japan in 1999; as high-schooler Josuke Higashikata (illegitimate son of Joseph) and friends seek out the culprit of a series of decade-long homicides. Set in 2001, Part V follows Giorno Giovanna, son of Dio, and his ambition to rise within the Neapolitan mafia by subverting its most powerful gang: Passione.

Why this pick

The Ninth Jedi’s lively team adventure and inventive fights will appeal to viewers who enjoy JoJo's Bizarre Adventure’s bold anime action and loyal allies. Its duels turn strange powers into puzzles, with theatrical poses and absurd humor making the danger feel much more playful.
