How the hell does every shounen manga and anime turn out to be cringy and unfunny but JoJo is the only one that actually gets to be funny and taken seriously even though it's absolutely ridiculous and flamboyant?

If you allow yourself to enjoy the ride you'll never want off.

Jojo is the only original one where the author at least tries. One piece on the other hand is content to churn out endless retard chapter full of Oda's ugly ass "art style".

JoJo is the only manga where the art style is actually creative and free-flowing.

For me, its because it always feels fresh. Original concepts, along with a different artstyle and type of story with each part keep the series good.

Why is the JoJo fanbase so awful?

Araki's not going to die. He has existed since the dawn of the world and shall exist when the last star falls from the sky. Though in this life he has taken the form of Hirohiko Araki he is all men as he is no man and therefore he is a... god.
Because you haven't joined it yet.

I dropped it in part 2 because it was a boring snoozefest

It's awful when you're outside of it and wonderfully hyperactive and passionate when you get into it

Somebody tells this guy to go eat shit.

Well seeing as he started writing at the young age of infinity, hopefully we won't see that last bit

Attached: 1558175907626.gif (500x282, 915K)

Do that yourself

How is it possible anyway for Araki to keep it up this long and actually evolve as much as he did? Most other people in the business get burned out and either lose their ability to tell stories or draw or get sick and go on endless hiatuses.
He doesn't seem to suffer from any of that.

Ok I've been wondering about this for a while. Would you guys be okay with DP making an anime original part with Araki's supervision?

Parts being their own stories means that Araki has both had pretty constant work and yet still was able to write in different genres with different casts. He hasn't had to prolong the same story for years but he still never was forced to come up with something completely new. It's experimentation with a safety net. I'm surprised this narrative format isn't more common honestly, it seems pretty comfortable.

Was this the most unintentionally funny scene in all of jojo?

Why not? It's not like it would detract from anything.

Ok but if you had two choices
>one more part of the manga done by Araki
>two anime original parts with Arakis supervision
Which one would you go for?

The latter, honestly.

I think writing something new each time has something to do with it. It's always a familiar cast and story, but there's always something different to work with, so it could be easier to work with.

Araki can write anything he wants. I don't see how he'd ever get tired of it. The only restrictions are stands and even those constantly break the rules. He mostly doesn't give a fuck about restrictions or making a complex story but still does in the areas where it matters. Honestly he's kinda revolutionary and unique when it comes to writing, or when it comes to shounen at the very least

>shounen manga
Jojo is a seinen, you fucking mongrel.

The reason JoJo is so popular is because it's so unique and good, after more than 30 years of being made and inspiring so many other works that came after, there's still not a single other manga that comes close to JoJo in creativity and variety.
If you read part 1 and 2, then 7 and 8, you can't even tell they're supposed to be part of the same story since they're so different in themes and style.
Despite having many flaws such as Araki's tendency to fuck up writing and doing a million retcons, it's arguably one of the best mangas ever made.
The "part" structure is the best idea Araki could come up with by the way, more mangakas should use it for the sake of creative freedom.

I see more people complaining about it than jojo fans actually being annoying but maybe that's because I'm on the inside looking out.

That's the perfect mentality to have when it comes to a ongoing manga imo. Keeps things fresh.

Fanbases always have some cringe and autism surrounding them, but there's so much material to enjoy in Jojo that it's a fun ride.

In all honesty, the JoJo fanbase is everywhere nowdays, it's more popular in the wast than it has ever been before, so a lot of people get repulsed by the loud fanbase, which is a shame considering how good it is, another big problem is that a lot of the jokes in the community revolve around character's deaths.

I have yet to see a fandom that doesn't evolve into this. If it doesn't it has so be so small it can hardly be called a fandom.

he'll make part 9, if only because Jojo is somewhat divided into threes, so he'll want to finish the SBRverse similarly to a closure in SO and to a lesser extent, SC

Jojo was a shounen from PB's chapter 1 up until SBR chapter 23, so everything up until Oyecomova fight, it's only a seinen afterwards

the anime original parts have been really good so far, and araki takes 20x as long to make manga than to oversee anime, so the choice is obvious

Don't worry about him. He's a purist. The Jojo dub is excellent and the only reason not to watch it exclusively is because you've run out of episodes.

Well, I will be very sad when he's gonna fake his death to not make other people suspect

Araki is not making one continuous manga, he has made 8 separate manga that reference each other sometimes.

It's a big gamble tho. I'm sure they'd nail the tone and probably the characters, but I don't know about the fights. Especially considering their original series were all mediocre

For me, I figured if I was gonna have to read subtitles, I'd just read the manga then watch some anime scenes like the torture dance and the diavolo reveal

I only considered parts 1-6
Which, to be honest, I know is stupid. I refer to the '' Jojo up to part 6 is shonen, from SBR onward is seinen''. The manga is '' Jojo's Bizarre Adventure '' and goes from the first chapter of Phantom Blood to the last of Jojolion. The division into parts is only for convenience, but the manga is a unique block.
That said, I didn't include SBR and JJL on the list for two reasons:
1) these two works are so rich in content that it would take a separate grid for both
2) I created the grid in a discussion regarding battle shonen and I wanted to avoid the situation "hurr durr SBR and JJL are seinen"

P.S. Joshu best boy

>Make a series about a british family (part 1) who goes to Italy and hang around with nazi germans (part 2)

Wew

Jojo unironically has soul. The only competitors are One Piece and HxH. One Piece had soul but now it's become boring and HxH's author is a lazy fuck. So yeah, Araki's love for being an artist is evident in Jojo, and makes jojo a lot more enjoying.

Any other shounen, including Dragon Ball, are just lazy cashgrabs for retards.

The thing is JoJo fights and plots require being able to throw away any common sense and conventional ideas of abilities (within reason of course). DavidPro might not have the people on hand to plan out the proper mix of inane nonsense and 500IQ plots.

yes, it's just that the scanlations are up to date with the releases now, they had problems getting scans for a while but now the only barrier is waiting for more colored chapters to be released

Most of the West has either Naruto (because of its good anime adaptation), Dragon Ball (same reason), or nowadays MHA/BNHA as their intro. JoJo is second tier as far as anime goes. Its not most people's first but neither is it their 10th.

Personally it could fly a bit further under the radar and help clean up its fanbase (theres no reason for like 4 JoJo threads to always be up) but that is likely my elitism speaking and not my brain.

JoJo is a gag manga masquerading as a battle shounen. The reason Araki can pull it off is because it's just him writing the series as it naturally is.

The whole of Part 3 is a comedy adventure. Part 4 has plenty of pure comedy encounters. Part 5 piss drinking etc. You should try reading/watching the series sometime!

Most of the interraction between part 4 group are pretty funny.

Araki is either a hamon user or a vampire. He’s not going to die anytime soon.

This is going to end up like that thread on Yea Forums about Lemmy from Motorhead. Someone's going to post about Araki being immortal on the day he dies and it's going to get a million replies.

Better final battle than canon in some regards. If you kept the road roller and made DIO look less like some roid monster, it would've been perfect.

He has fresh and crazy ideas, his art style is alive, he loves what he does. You can meme the shit out of almost any scene in JoJo but the plot and story are still so solid you can take it seriously and enjoy it as a serious piece of entertainment rather than just memes. The anime also works to keep Araki pumped to get new content out because the new animated series is making his manga sell even more because some people after watching the anime will go to the source. JoJo is simply fucking mint.

Araki's style is unique as hell. You can recognize his stuff from 10 miles away. I really appreciate how different it looks from typical manga

There is not a single mangaka that has created as many iconic quotes, characters, situations, powers and interactions as Araki, his disregard for general writting guidelines and personal writting philosophy sets him apart. He doesn't feel any need to explain himself or justify putting what he wants on paper, it's pure creativity at the cost of mechanical consistency.
Anyone who thinks he is trying to write something like HxH should drown themself to ensure they don't have any offspring. Go look at what inexperienced or untalented writers write, it is always a variation of something better, good writers improve upon older works, very few actualy create something new and Araki is one of them.
In a medium that never changes, visually or structurally Araki has several times managed to create something different, all in an artstyle never done before or since recreated. But hey go jerk of to Death Note, im sure you think it's super smart.

He’s genuinely passionate and he knows when to move on and try something new. He even felt like he peaked with Part 6 and couldn’t possibly write anything better, so he decided to move to a monthly seinen magazine and start over from scratch, which allowed him to finally surpass the level of quality he reached with Stone Ocean as he got into the final act of SBR. Now with JoJolion to this day he’s still improving because he refuses to accept that he’s reached his upper limit and finds a way to surpass it, even if it makes his job harder.

The entire arc was hilarious, Shame it ended kinda shitty

Attached: where the fuck is mickey.jpg (554x258, 37K)

Does the universe reset save him from the death loop?

Potentially, but very unlikely. In Pucci’s perfect world, everything went exactly the same as the original world except everyone knows the future before it happens and can’t change it, so for the duration of that cycle Diavolo was still in the death loop only he could see every future death he was going to suffer while being unable to change it. After Emporio kills Pucci, undoing Made in Heaven’s effect due to not completing a full cycle, the world goes back to how it was originally except Pucci was erased, not the people he killed. So the series progresses exactly the same up until Pucci’s birth, since he was never born. Weather isn’t swapped at birth for the dead kid because, as the mother said, she only took Weather since he was from a set of twins and she couldn’t bear leaving another mother childless, so he never almost accidentally fucked his little sister. Dio never met Pucci so he never met his one true friend, and never wrote about him in his diary. This would have changed Dio’s fate ever so slightly, potentially meaning Giorno wasn’t born. That’s unlikely though since there’s nothing to suggest Dio knocking up random whores to spread his seed was reliant on Pucci existing.

So there’s a tiny chance that things might have changed enough for Diavolo to be spared the death loop, but it’s very unlikely considering fate will remain the same whenever possible.
