That was possibly the greatest arc in any Japanese animation I have ever watched

I heard Part 3 is where it gets complicated, hope that's not the case.

I miss Dio. I heard Joseph comes back for part 3 too? Uber hype

I've never played Persona, but I hear people saying that Persona really ripped off a lot from JoJo. Stands are awesome. They're going to kind of suck at first when Araki is still figuring out what makes Stand battles interesting, but they get really interesting as time goes on.

Part 3 could potentially irritate you at the start with how it changes things, but pushing on will probably make you more okay with it.

Part 3 is great for like, the first 40% and the last 40%.

Somewhere around the middle, it starts to meander really hard and the formulaic nature started to get kind of dull. I started getting really bored of it right around the middle, but then the Egypt stuff happened and I became interested again. The endgame is fantastic, too, aside from the dismal video game part.

I've seen Jotaro in promos and he doesn't seem nearly as interesting as Joseph or Jonathan

Hope I'm wrong

Although Joseph is gonna be there so we'll have at least one good protagonist at least

Fucking 10/10 main character that guy

in my experience, most jojo fans ive met consider jotaro boring. he's one of my favorite jojo's, up there with joseph and jonathan easily. again most jojo fans ive interacted with do not hold this opinion (i do not know why)


He looks like the silent musclehead type

Again just an observation, hope I'm wrong

I loved Jotaro, but admittedly that's probably because I watched the dub and fucking love Matt Mercer.

Jotaro's inspiration was Clint Eastwood, so he's pretty much a stoic badass through and through.

If you cut out all the dragged out scenes in part 3 and get to the main fights, it's probably my favorite in terms of story and characters.

I didn't like Jotaro at first and thought it was a huge downgrade, but he's my favorite character in the series so far only having watched the anime parts 1-4 (haven't read the manga).

Jotaro being serious all the time is a lot more endearing if you think of it as him trying to think up the stupid one-liners he ends fights with a lot. You'd think that him making the effort to finally say something would mean they're all zingers, but they're really not.

Imo Jojo peaked with Joseph. When the stands come it gets a lot more formulaic with monster of the week and stuff, but still good. And it gets nuttier and nuttier. Indefinitely.

Yeah the lack of physicality really bothered me originally, it does get better, but it's just really jarring at first and feels lame.

As for the physicality thing, I actually like how stand fights work. Even though stands tend to do most of the fighting (though there are some straight-up fisticuffs throughout the series) the users behind them are still ordinary frail people.

Ripple users and Pillar Men did not have worry about eye gouging, or toenails being ripped off. Stand fights get visceral quick.

While a lot of Stand fights are the stands themselves, as the series goes on, stands start getting tuned back, allowing the users themselves to do more of the fighting, while the stands grants abilities or buffs to the user. So while you're gonna have a lot Punchghost fighting, there will be more physical fights with the users in later parts.

Part 3 starts getting a little bloated. A lot of episodes but it's mainly just monster of the week stuff, a lot of episodes don't really progress anything and are just there to showcase new enemies and settings like Pokemon. Then again, this is the season to introduce the concept of stands so he had to really show people how it worked. The later work parts not only better fights but also better arcs. Unfortunately, the anime hasn't really gotten to that part yet. Arcs start getting good at part 5 again.

I love part 6 but I get why it's disliked and I can't really argue with most of the common complaints.

But part 2 was definitely utter brilliance, and also the best possible use of a narrator I've seen in a long while.

The real star in part 3 is polnareff. Find jotaro the worst jojo because of how uninteresting Gary stu he was.

Part 1 for me is "ok, thatd not bad, but i see nothing special

Part 2 is "what the fuck this is awesome"

Part 3 is " okay this is okay. But i think it is a step down"

Mainly because part 3 is formulaic and araki is still experimenting with stands and such. But it has legit fun concept and bro-road trip adventure

Part 4 is when you finally see how creative the stands are as a method of concept. It is the polished versiob of part 4 in legitimately interesting and unusual setting

Part 5 is kinda like part 3, but with part 4 quality and creativity. The bro-road trip adventure and defending yourself from enemy stando.

Part 6 is more like another iteration of part 4 with different setting, focusing on mystery and survival both. I am still in the middle of reading it.

I heard part 7 is araki's magnum opus

Part 8 is another long one, and nobody can say anything too much cos it is still ongoing

Honetly, Jotaro is incredibly flat for the majority of Part 3. Your mileage may vary if he grows on you or not. By the end of the first half, I fell in love with the guy, but not everyone is the same.

Mild spoilers for the series Jotaro works a lot better as a supporting character than as a protagonist

Yeah I've heard that as well.

Is Joseph a great supporting character or is he just there for fanservice? I don't wanna get too hyped after Part 2 for him

Joseph isn't the same as he was in part 2. He's much more subdued, serving as the navigator of the party rather than the life of it.

The theory is that Joseph didn't stick to his Hamon training after part 2. Lisa Lisa by comparison remained in peak physical condition because she stuck to the training.
