Is this show worth watching?
Is this show worth watching?
No but it's worth reading.
this show got me into anime
Love Jojo more than dragon ball z
skip part 1
be braced for bullshit and asspulls but fun in part 2
then just enjoy the rest
no, it's garbage for retarded faggots
Watching Stardust Crusaders without Phantom Blood is stupid since everything we know about Dio comes from part 1.
Don't skip part one. I really liked part one.
part 1 is fine
part 2 really is where the show starts to shine though
Don't skip part one, its the weakest out of all of them but you will later appreciate that you watched it
Yes.
Yeah, skip part 1 and miss out on the backstory for the main antagonist, sit the fuck down and stfu retard.
Show is a decent 7/10, skip golden wind it sucks ass
Watch the first two parts and then stop.
The manga is better, the animators really didn't do the graphic novel art justice. Scenes that were absolute kino in the graphic novel look bad in the animation.
it peaked at the first half of part 3
Jotaro walking towards dio was fucked in the anime, couldn't believe they fucked up such an iconic part.
Read the manga. Hirohiko Araki's style is tailored specifically the medium of comic books, he is a master of paneling action scenes and using the page-turn to deliver gags and plot twists
Stands and fights eventually become so complex and out-there that it requires a lot of narration from the characters to explain - it works fine in a manga where you can read dialogue internally in 1 second, but in the anime it's all spoken so it takes forever. I couldn't watch part 5 because the constant narration was so aggravating it broke the flow of the fights.
>skip golden wind
filtered, also i recommend skipping 1 because ive known several people who have dropped the show because of it
Name a better villain, too bad you can't.
The anime's pretty good and the manga is great, especially in color. Watch it and then read it.
>he skipped part 1
pleb filtered.
>t. faggot
it's slow but good
its kino
>skip golden wind it sucks ass
yes.
honestly just watch 1,2,3 and if you want more only then watch 4
no watch Hyouge Mono instead
If you don't know dio you might as well not even watch the show. He's such a crucial part of the soul of the series.
it's normie zoomer trash
golden wind is the worst arc bar part 1, but the music is top tier
for me it's the hunt for kira, shigechi dying is the only other time anime has managed to move me emotionally, the first being grave of the fireflies
This. It's THE scene and they fucked it up.
Nah, by then hamon and vampires are phazed out. You know that Dio is a vampire and all that shit from part 2.
John jostar has no relevance, dios backstory is just him being a little shit. Part 2 is where everything starts since Joseph carries on to part 3.
There is barely any mention of Dio in part 2.
Alright, there are faggots in this thread telling you to skip parts.
Don’t.
Araki is a master at referencing his own work and tying stories together. Unless you start from Phantom Blood (the first part) you’re not going to understand it nearly as much as you should to properly appreciate it. It’s like jumping into a series halfway through and asking who the fuck any of the characters are and what they’re talking about.
Plus, every single part is good. Some are overall better than others and each part has its highs and lows, but JoJo is an excellent series that you won’t regret watching and reading.
I say “and” because the anime is only up to
Vento Aureo, the fifth part, right now while the manga is up to JoJolion, the eighth part.
>How to watch
Just go to your favourite anime streaming/downloading site, they’re bound to have it. Watch it in the order:
>JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (parts 1 and 2)
>JJBA: Stardust Crusaders Season 1 (first half of part 3)
>JJBA: Stardust Crusaders Season 2 (second half of part 3)
>JJBA: Diamond Is Unbreakable (part 4)
>JJBA: Golden Wind (part 5, also known as Vento Aureo, usually by manga readers)
>How to read
This is a bit trickier. You can just hit up any manga site, but the scans aren’t guaranteed to be high quality. This is ESPECIALLY true for Vento Aureo. I repeat, there are some commonly-used VA scans that are absolute shit-tier translations from years ago. This is being fixed, but they still exist.
I personally read like this until part 7 when I ran across JoJo’s Coloured Adventure:
>jojocoloredadventure.blogspot.com
High-quality coloured scans. If that’s not your thing then that’s fine, but it’s my favourite way to read.
>READING JOJOLION
JoJolion is the part that’s ongoing, so it isn’t all coloured yet. I tend to read it here:
mangadex.org
>tl;dr
JoJo’s is good shit, go watch/read it and never skip parts.
Bo but pic related is.
The most retarded take anyone could have about the show. It gets shit after standos get introduced.
Fuck shigechi. Such an annoying shit character who was only brought in to die. Kira was based.
AAAHHHHH SAVE ME ALTERNATE DIO
Except for the part where he's responsible for the motivations of Straits and Lisa Lisa, the reason Joseph is orphaned, and the Pillar Men's powers are directly compared to the precedent his have established.
I fucking hate this show mainly for how it ruined all discussion of King Crimson. Anytime someone mentions rhe band you have a million retard soiboy numales going “LE JOJO XDD”
Battle Tendency is the best shit IMO
Pink Floyd chads win again
fpbp
I don't think they used any King Crimson in Jojo.
Roundabout is by Yes and as a fan of theirs the more people that are exposed to their music the better.
Filtered
>people who like a semi obscure japanese comic book out number people who still listen to prog rock by 10 to 1
you have nobody but yourself to blame.
One of the characters is literally called King Crimson
>jojo
>obscure
Its mainstream as fuck ever since reddit and normalfags found it
Part 1 is the weakest and the first episode is the weakest episode of the entire series but I sure as hell wouldn't skip it. Its got some great moments.
7 > 8 > 3 > 6 = 5 > 4 > 2 > 1
Cast them
Its the most aggressively heterosexual thing I've ever seen.
He was just being a kid. They can be greedy little shits.
He's not a villain.
More like it peaked at Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. I wasn't sold on pt. 7 up until that point but goddamn was that fight amazing. Probably my favorite fight in manga.
Have 8 finished yet? I took a break a year ago. no spoilers.
It's in the endgame, it'll be finished in maybe in a year or so
>as a fan of theirs the more people that are exposed to their music the better.
The more people find out about something, the shittier the discussion of it becomes. Only actual retards think making stuff mainstream has any positive effect on it
Part 3 was a mistake
Only the anime.
I fucking hate n*rmies so much
>King Crimson
Nobody remembers their action
The action was already done
The action will always happen (Epitaph)
>GER
You remember the action
The action can't be done
It will never be done, ever
There fixed the explanations for King Crimson and GER as well as displaying that GER is a hard counter to King Crimson
