JoJo's Bizarre Adventure viewers are calling for a boycott of Netflix after the streamer's handling of Steel Ball Run – but that's not even the half of it.

As of writing, the vast majority of replies under any official Netflix or Netflix Anime account posts on Twitter and Instagram are met with either calls to cancel subscriptions or, worse, attempting to curse them via black and white 'creepypasta' pictures of series protagonist Johnny Joestar.

'1 Week Remaining' one (frankly disturbing) horror-filled post proclaims, complete with a distorted voice saying, 'Do you think my suffering is a joke?' It seems this is one Bizarre Adventure too far for long-suffering JoJo's fans and they show no signs of letting up in the comments.

For those who have yet to catch up on the JoJo's drama, Steel Ball Run premiered with a 47-minute '1st Stage' charting Johnny Joestar's opening leg of a cross-country horse race across America.

From there, however, fans were met with radio silence over a follow-up episode, with even Steel Ball Run's own director sounding puzzled about its release plans.

"I want to see it soon, too! When will it be? I don’t know," Yasuhiro Kimura told AniTrendz.

Since then, Netflix has only confirmed the next episode will be released sometime this year. That follows the previous part, Stone Ocean, and its own batch-release debacle, which saw groups of episodes dropped over nine months with very little communication in-between – a far cry from the non-Netflix days of a new episode every week.
