Finally tried to read through this series a while back, had to stop when it got to the stands because it was just insufferably stupid. No, not like fun ironic stupid as its fans boast, but like its creator is a fucking moron trying to seem intelligent.

 No.60

>>59
A lot of my frens who are fans are genuine dumbasses and kinda fashy, I think it's all about the rule of cool aesthetic for a lot of them.
That being I think JoJo's pretty fun; the series itself isn't ironically stupid, it is actually just stupid, but I still feel that genuine stupidity can be enjoyed ironically.
I'm curious as to what in particular you found moronic about Araki though; is it his constant forgetfulness of plot points?
Or the weird historical factoids meant to show how knowledgeable he is or whatever?

In any case, any JoJo fan who tries to say it's 'ackshually super smart' is a goddamn idiot.

Stands are better in part 3 and 4 where their just the MC's and pals ghost type pokemon they spawn from their own fighting spirit or some other Shounen / Seinen shit.
When you get to part 5 and 6 and its retconned that stands are actually some like alien parasitic organism that like fucks up DNA or something and creates the Next evolution of humanity or whatever.

 No.62

>>61
On one hand I want to like the 'complexity' of later stands,
on the other, a lot of them are just retarded masquerading as complex.
I think the stands in Steel Ball Run are pretty good generally though.
I don't understand why the anime part 5 is now like the highest rated part though.
It's so boring, it started the stand retcon, the stands are meh, the characters are mediocre, the plot has no meaningful impact, it wasted Jean-Pierre; maybe I'm just an asshole though.

What you guy's part 8 final boss expectations?

>What we seem to know at this point

&ltTohru is either the final boss or the Vanilla Ice to the Final Boss's Dio so to speak.
&ltEndless Calamity / The Wonder of you injures and tries to kill people attempting to pursue it. It is somehow able to increase the kinetic damage people suffer by accelerating the speed or the impact force of objects (Rai bumping into a table and almost ripping his legs off / 8suke getting shot by rain drops) Stand user is most likely Tohru
&ltThe effects of endless calamity / TWOY on its victim are directly relative to the 'Karma' of them. so "good" guys like Rai and Josuke get mild yet survivable wounds while Jobin who just got done trying to kill a teenage girl and threatening his family after giving his dad heat stroke gets turned into a sprinkler.
&ltJoshu has the plant hold and looks like hes about to waste one of them to heal Yasuho
&ltEndless Calamity / TWOY can completely break the rules about Normoids not being able to see stands and Tohru has seemingly been using it as an alter ego for some time.
&ltFor no explicable reason Endless calamity / TWOY can appear to multiple people at once entire cities away
&ltTsurugi continuing to become pyramidhead in the bedroom

I think the OVA art style and animation, while less memeable and bombastic than the usual anime style, is better. The style has texture and shadows and the animation is smoother than the janky animated background bullshit of the actual series.

 No.10457

>>10455
On average, the animation in those OVAs is obviously superior by far. It sucks that Twitter JoJofags (or whatever community it was) memed "JoJo fans must shit on the OVAs for no reason" so hard.
I prefer the first (Egypt part) OVAs though, I don't like the style of the later ones very much, though if I didn't know they're an adaptation and if I didn't know about JoJo, I would probably think it's a really cool anime.

>Jonathan comes from rich family
>Dio comes from poor family
<Is jojo part 1 capitalist/aristocrat propaganda?
The background is simply capitalist, yet it bares little on the plot. The Joestar mansion looks like a noble sort of aristocratic estate, but George could have just been a rich English merchant. I believe the implication is that they're nobility though, since Jonathan is just such a 'noble and too pure' sort of idealistic character. Jojo is too goddamned fucking stupid for there to be any overarching themes of class, even in a subliminal way.

I honestly doubt Araki could even comprehend the notion of economic class. Dio is quite literally comically evil just for the sake of being so, and is not meant to be reflective of any particular type of human in general: Dio or DIO, he in particular is just an evil fucking bastard simply because he is so don't bother questioning it. And so is his dad. There's little to no class commentary in JoJo. Whenever something like Nazis show up it's always stupid, comical and over the top. I wouldn't bother going looking for a profound subtext.

SPEEDWAGON on the other hand is also a 'underclass dreg' sort of character, but he is the complete inverse of Dio. He has honor and respect, he doesn't screw over everyone possible to get the upper hand. He is a good person who also happens to be a leader of a mugging crew because he 'has to be' or whatever to provide for his family that was mentioned in one line. So Araki is transcendently apolitical, but that doesn't mean he's actually injecting reactionary messaging I don't think; I'm fairly certain that he really just is that way.

That said: The most evil fuck imaginable such as Dio only becomes a danger if he gets into power. The Joestar family's bourgeois naivete is very much responsible for letting Dio get worse and worse. I'd like a fanfic exploring what would happen if the Joestars just peaced out on the Brandos. Would Dio have become more like an evil version of Speedwagon? Would someone else get corrupted by the mask eventually?

The final batch of Part 6 has been released, and now I have finally seen the part, I can say that it is a certified banger. (This is me by the way >>69
)

Here are my part ratings (I haven't only read the first 10 chapters of part 8)
7 > 4 =>(?) 6 + ending > 2 > 5 => 3 > 6 - ending > 1
Genuinely I am not the same after watching this part. Made in heaven and Jail house Lock are now both my favorite two stands of all time, (I think a anime like and good as death note can be made based off of Jail House lock, genuinely fascinating to think about It's also a good analogy for cardiac if you're a programmer).

While I think the part didn't have the strongest: protagonist, JoBros (Jo sisters are great though), villain (until the end where I see his plan, still think the name is very poorly chosen), or some of the stands (did not like that fung shway guy) – man that ending is fucking amazing, (even though the ending wasn't built up properly since it was a re-write)

What do you guys think?

>>10866
>I love JoJo only for part 1, 2, and 7. All the other parts are alright and have their moments, but were never as consistent.
I agree on part 2 and 7 be consistent, but why 1? I found the part was at it's best when Jonathon and Dios dynamic was being presented, which made the part have a gap in quality after episode 4 and the finale.

>>10455
>>10457
Is it worth to watch it? Other than the shadows and textures, it seems to be a really bad adaption in every possible way you can think of, (other than being the only one to include the beginning scene from part 1)

>>9780
There's many aspects that are great, one being that the series in insanely experimental that is always changing things up.
Ex: Part 2 is an indiana jones film with the protagonist having a very forward personality that uses sunshine karate to kill the strongest male strippers to ever walked the planet, part 3 uses a whole new power system and stars a introverted delinquent that goes on a summer vacation with others to kill someone, then part 4 doubles the complexity of the stands and did a slice of life.

I really liked part six until they left the prison. Had some of the most inventive fights - that dragon guy and miu miu. The fights with Dio's sons were all pretty lame and the ending fight made absolutely no sense.

It was cool that Araki basically finished the Joestar's cursed line with the end of Stone Ocean though, and it explains why he had to do a reboot for part 7.
