"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Part IV: Diamond Is Unbreakable" Anime Teased?
When asked why the staff was in Sendai, response was "sorry, just some tourism"

Following the globe-trotting JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part III - Stardust Crusaders, Hirohiko Araki's series settled in Japan for Part IV: Diamond Is Unbreakable (or Diamond is Not Crash), running in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1992 to 1995, collected in volumes 29-46 of the manga. The story revolved around Stand-related horrors and mysteries abound in Morioh, a town in S-City, M-Prefecture. Tweets suggest that the JoJo's anime producers might already be doing some location scouting in Sendai for after Stardust Crusaders ends this season.
