I'm still working my way through Part 4. I'm finding it kind of boring after the awesomeness of Part 3. It just feels like the plot has gotten sidetracked, and there's too many characters that don't really do much of anything after their introduction. There isn't the sense of urgency or adventure that was in the first 3 parts, and many of the characters are kind of boring. Josuke in particular is disappointing. His Stand is cool, but his personality is just kind of there.
Does it get better after the Highway Star battle, or should I just skip straight to Part 5?
Part 4 anime is the worst imo. Shitty animation, weak pacing, fights are meh. Surprise that people seems to love this more than part 5
Carter White
Part IV is actually a great part but I can see what you mean.
Basically, the first 3 parts were all shounen while from Part 4 Araki starts taking a turn towards Seinen.
Also, I think Kokichi is more of a protagonist than Josuke and that is what araki intended it to be. However, I think Part 4 is better than 3 overall. It has one of the best antagonists in JoJo and the entire setup is perfect for the whole part.
I'd like to hear your review when you are donw with it.
Joshua Fisher
The art style is just better
Brayden Anderson
That's kind of why it's good though.
Part 3 is super boring until Egypt comes. Part 4 has a feeling of fun SoL with Stands that it's unique as far JoJo goes.
Jayden King
Part 5 is better, Part 4's only saving grace is Kira
Jackson Roberts
How could Part 5 possibly be better with that ending
Eli Martin
OP read the manga unironically, it's more charming.
Gabriel Kelly
Just skip to the parts with Kira. You'll miss literally nothing.
Luke Gonzalez
Just wait for Koichi to stop taking up screen time and the introduction of the actual villain.
Xavier Williams
Bring back muscular JoJo. And wtf I love Part 5 but it's literally flying by way too fast. We are on Episode 35 of 39 it's almost over
Carter Garcia
Better pacing before hand. There's little downtime between fights which is a good thing
Daniel Ward
Which also means there is no time for character development
William Miller
I don't think Character development is araki's strong point. Besides, part 5 takes place over the course of a week and this is about teenagers who are in a gang.
You can't develop something from nothingness, user.
Noah Collins
Why do people dislike part 4 now?
Sebastian Thomas
People don't dislike part 4. Just the first half of it.
Juan Jones
It's weird, the DiU anime had such amazing directorial and color choices throughout its run but the actual animation was all loose and kinda ugly rarely staying on model Your choice as to whether or not one is worth as much as the other

>Part 4 dub comes out >Everyone starts to post about how much they hate part 4 even though it was seen as among the best parts before
>MC barely has a stake in the main plot >Characters are underdeveloped and underutilized, more characters keep being added to the cast and they never get fleshed out >Relationship development is minuscule or happens off screen >Setting is underutilized, Tonio's restaurant could have been a recurring backdrop for the cast to come together and chill and exchange information for example >Despite the cast coming together for Shigechi's murder, it's all just for show >Incoherent, tone deaf story >Main villain is downright stupid and has dumb motives
Dylan Morales
Hot opinions, man. Here's a (You).
Kayden Brown
>>Main villain is downright stupid and has dumb motives Well who's YOUR favorite Jojo antagonist user?
>dub comes out >new shitposts dunno why i never noticed this. part 4 has been my favorite so far, so i was a little curious why there was an influx of people shitting on it.
Isaac Wood
Kira and Killer Queen are by far the best reasons to finish part 4.
>amimeonlys bandwagoning on whatever the most recent part is If you aren't current on the manga you should not be posting in these threads.
Adrian Roberts
FACT OF LIFE
Gabriel Robinson
Linear fast-paced storytelling isn't Araki's strong point either, as evidenced by the complete mess that is part 5. So maybe it shouldn't have taken place in under just one week?
Brayden Diaz
Dio>>>>Kira
Colton Wood
I'm waiting for part 8 to end before i read it. I only read it up to Vitamn C
Ayden Perry
>I don't think Character development is araki's strong point. It is which is why Part 5 fails.
Oliver Foster
But user, muh themes!
Connor Lewis
>I'm waiting for part 8 to end >But I read 50 chapters in
Logan Powell
>I'm a retard and I want everyone itt to know
Ayden Russell
anime clearly shows what an garbled trainwreck part 4 is
