Because we've yet to admit that Part 1 is unironically one of the best parts
>Jonathan vs Dio is kino each time it happens, the mansion, castle, and boat fights are all fucking fantastic
>While the setup for Jonathan and Dio's relationship is rather dull, the payoff of seeing how it evolves by the end of the part makes the set up well worth it
>Dio is also a phenomenal character in his own right, and his descent into madness is top tier
>Character relationships in general are high quality, Jonathan and Speedwagon is basically a better executed version of Giorno's relationship with Bruno's gang
>Get to see the events of part 1 influence 2-6 in a satisfying way, like Jonathan convincing Erina to save herself leading to the existence of every future protagonist and saving Lisa Lisa or Jonathan's kindness to speedwagon pay out dividends to his ancestors
>Historical setting is used to excellent effect, part 1 even has storytelling elements that were popular in that era
>Awesome emphasis on horror and body horror
>While definitely the driest part of Jojo, it still has it's fair share of memorable Bizarre moments that the series has become so known for, like Zeppeli punching the frog
>Jonathan vs Bruford
>Zeppeli's sacrifice and Poco nutting up to save Jojo
>Musical references that aren't just "literally the band/songs name lmao"
>Jonathan fights Jack the goddamn Ripper while holding a glass of wine
It filters a lot of casuals because it's more subdued, but it's excellent.

Part 2 is the only one to have a proper menacing villain

I read them all so far since I have enough downtime at work and 4 is real rough to go back through. Sure when things are going well they're fantastic but it feels like there's a lot of filler between all these little one off characters and adventures who don't really matter and half the main cast being trash and not really working together as a group.

Fucking Okuyasu. So much potential and such a cool stand but he's a retard.

Kira is one of the best villains and he's really what keeps me wanting to go back to it.

Bossu is menacing on paper but in execution he's just so asspully that nothing he does has any weight

Newfag to Jojo here. I'm about halfway through part 4. I heard part 3 was the peak, but I thought is was a bit of a slog. The whole part was an endless conga line of stand users that are in the show for 2 episodes max before being effortlessly BTFO after Jotaro says "good grief". Even DIO gets good grief'd, with star platinum suddenly being able to stop time and becoming stronger then the world even though we're just shown that the world is stronger and faster. The only antagonist I even remember is hol horse.

I just sort of view the "main villain" as the trio since they shared an aspiration and worked together.

Finished part 1, it’s so fucking good. Does Jonathan ever come back? Or do we only ever get to see his descendants? Doesn’t Dio return?

Part 3 is defintely not the peak. It's only better than part 1.

>The whole part was an endless conga line of stand users that are in the show for 2 episodes max before being effortlessly BTFO after Jotaro says "good grief"
Oh boy are you in for some disappointment if you were hoping the conga line was gonna cease

Part 3 is definitely not the peak

> I heard part 3 was the peak
No idea where you heard that from, but it's really not. It's the classic part that's the most famous, but each part after it is better.

While I like the characters in part 5 better than 6, I feel like a lot of the pacing in 6 is better. 5 made weird decisions with characters like fugo, and fell back more into the enemy of the week style that made part 3 really slow at times, as opposed to the style in part 4 which had far more slice of life stuff, and a less strongly structured pace which came back to some degree in part 6. Also, I was kind of disappointed with diavolo, he never really got the story time I expected, though doppio makes up for that a bit. With his stand I was looking forward to something more like the DIO fight, but it turned out to mostly be chariot requiem stuff instead. In part 6 pucci was both a more interesting character, and I think was given more time to develop and be discovered by the reader, as opposed to how diavolo is a mystery, then is suddenly revealed, to the audience at least.
Anyway, I don't think 6 is really objectively better, neither are particularly strong parts. There's a bunch of little things, like I just prefer the florida prison environment over italy. By the end of part 5 I was more or less just rushing through to get to the climax, while I never really got tired of part 6.

>people unironically hating stone ocean

>It's the classic part that's the most famous, but each part after it is better.
I don't know about that
Part 3 is surface level, basic, and unambitious outside of introducing Stands but it does everything it sets out to do very well. Whereas part 5 has a lot more ambition and creativity with individually great moments, but the part overall completely falls to pieces.

I think it's a lower middle part. I'd put it above 5 at least.

>Part 3 was the peak
They lied to you. I easily consider it to be in the bottom 3.

This. The animation in part 5 is fantastic, but let’s be honest the style changed when part 4 came out and has only magnified since then.

Overrated: 3, 4, 5
Fairly rated: 2, 7
Underrated: 1, 6, 8

Based. Jonathan is also the best Jojo.

Attached: Jojo.png (1230x1347, 2.15M)

Ok

Part 3 is definitely not peak, but it’s the most important to parts 4-6 as it sets the foundation for just about every reveal and origin of stand users. It’s more of required reading. Globe traveling was pretty dope though.

>5
>Overrated
Okay anime-only. 5 has been the most shit on part for years because it didn't have a good translation until like a year ago and was only liked by the Japanese up to that point.

Extremely based post, I also love Jonathan vs Bruford. Easily one of the most underrated fights in all of Jojo.

Attached: sleep as a hero.png (542x884, 1.15M)

Biggest problem with 5 is pretty much how Giorno's Stand too goddamn versatile and Araki added new shit it could do nearly every time the thing showed up.

It also sucks how even in the fights he's not part of, he has to use his nebulous powers to do something that helps turn the tide of battle for his team.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying. Fugo could have been handled way better, and the final fight being a struggle for the arrow wasn't too great. Pucci's great, and his encounters carry part 6. The prison environment was also pretty great. That being said though, I just think the good parts of 5 outshine the good parts of 6. That's not to say part 6 isn't good, I actually like it a lot. Once they get out of the prison, how absolutely batshit crazy everything gets is wonderful, and I like the supporting cast a lot. But a lot of what happens within the prison just didn't really keep me hooked, except for a few fights like Jail House Rock or whatever the gravity one was. I would say part 5 generally had better fights, and I liked the interactions between the gang better.

How many more weeks does Giorno have left?

The best thing about the pillar men were how much stronger they are than Joseph, it makes every encounter feel like david vs goliath. You just can't capture that feeling with stand users.

Jojolion has top three potential so far

Attached: 1553179544565.png (683x603, 398K)

I never understood why he added and changed Giornos stand powers so much. It’s not the first time Araki’s done it, but it’s really noticeable in part 5. Almost like he was just more obsessed with the Italy gangster theme and let the characters just kind of do whatever.

I'm gonna disagree with you here but I do respect your opinion on it. It's well though out.

5 felt a little rushed at the end but I think the whole fugo thing was handled better then okayasu in 4 where they just made him an idiot after he became a good guy. I found the cast and their sorta brothers bond more interesting but I think the plot of them just kinda fighting their way to the top felt better than lets try to handle this with diplomacy and intrigue. They essentially had a hit put out on all of them and you can't talk your way out that sorta thing too often. It really felt like they diavolo stuff and the requiem stuff should have happened at different moments but maybe there was a time crunch or the publisher wanted it finished faster. It happens a lot.

6 though felt a lot slower especially early on and the characters all worked together simply because it was convenient. There were a good amount of fighters of the week near the end and I felt they kinda played to the whole DIO angle a little hard near the end. I liked the priest's original stand more imo it was a more unique power and it was nice to see a final boss without a time ability. It just felt that that arc had a lot more tamer abilities that just didn't feel exciting and the series was just a lot more stretched out. Accurate of being in prison I guess. I'm also a little biased because FF wasn't included in the ending.

It's not to shit on you but I can't help but feel like the same people who think this are the same people who shut on Giorno calling him worst JoJo and missing his entire character. That kind of behavior is exactly in line with who he is and the role he serves in Passione. Part of the fun of Giorno is that he has Jonathan's optimism and lacks a lot of the selfish primadonna aspects of the other JoJos up to that point so he's more than comfortable playing support and helping his friends reach their dreams on the way to his.

Wow, I can't believe Giorno's fucking dead.
Now who's going to asspull the boss?

DIO

That wasn't luck though, he was aware of the fire and used it strategically.

That Uncharted fan film with Nathan Fillion was pretty good, hope something more comes from that someday.

>The whole part was an endless conga line of stand users that are in the show for 2 episodes max before being effortlessly BTFO
That's literally what jojo is from Part 3 onwards.

Why is Diamond is Unbreakable the most liked again? I mean, yoshikage kira is a top tier villain, no questions about it, every scene he's in is just pure kino dialogue. But everything else just feels weirdly out of purpose, like most plot points and villains are just filler. Almost every episode theyre just confronting a self-contained problem/mistery, almost like scooby-doo. Josuke is still my favorite jojo though.

more than any other part, stone ocean needs a second read to truly appreciate it. The first time through stuff is just too bizarre. You need a general understanding of the context of the events that are happening to enjoy them. Its a really great part though.

It literally stops being that immediately after. Every part after 3 begins deemphasizing punch ghosts and has more creative problems and ways to deal with them. By the time you're at SBR and JJL there's hardly even "fights" anymore. Two beetles fighting is the most action JJL saw

I can do it too

Part 4 and 5 do it too. I hated when Kira's dad ran off with the arrow to make 6 more stand users that were all beaten in 1 or 2 episodes even though it felt like the story was getting ready to come to a close.

I thought Santanna was the baby

Completely wrong.

Kars and Esidisi take 2 babies. One being Wamuu and the other being Santana.

Could hamon even work as a major plot for 8 fucking parts? I'm a fan of hamon but I feel stands are just much more convenient and flexible for narrative purposes

I couldn't remember if one of the pillar men was a baby or if they all were grown at that point.

>it was the most bizarre part of all
Stone Ocean is a fucking caricature of JoJo. You tell someone who doesn't understand what JoJo is about but heard about it to write a part, and you get part 6.

Hamon seemed like it could do fucking anything, even more so than The Force in Star Wars, but with Stands, everyone gets something mostly unique.

Probably not but it had at least another part left in it in my opinion.

The real sin is not mixing and mashing the two properly ever. For a while Jojo forgot it was about the supernatural and zeroed in too hard on stands.

I really can't understand someone not having Part 1 as a top pick. The Victorian age Charles Dickens-esque drama of Jojo and Dio culminating in mystical solar kung fu vs ancient Aztec artifact induced vampirism is unironically epic. Every scene of the manga is quotable and memorable. Despite whatever advancements Araki has made as an artist and despite whatever meticulously complicated storytelling he's done since, he just can't compare to the youth, passion and sheer soul he put into Phantom Blood. It's simply the finest Araki has ever penned.

Probably not, but that doesn't mean hamon and stands cant co-exist.

Jojo is filled with a lot of crazy shit, like monsters, vampires, and cyborgs. It's a shame we're stuck with just stands and that the character variety won't expand past that. I would like to see a non-stand user fight a stand user using some other ability, like hamon.

Why did the part 1 anime make Jonathan look so uglyf? He's supposed to be a big hunk, not a fucking Bogdanoff.

They also didn't show Danny on fire and Speedwagon's Speed Wagon; also why Speedwagon can't use hamon is seen in more detail. As for characters they skipped a lot of stuff for Jonathan that made him less of a "bland" character

It's alright, it derivated a lot from the manga though, Big offenders are Akira and RHCP aren't canon in it (Keicho instead gets killed by SHA) and Koichi got Act 1 on the Bad Company fight, I don't mind the changes since they had to do something with the time they had.

Does JoJo rely too much on Stands?

Rock Humans were sort of a return to the concept of villains with a particular type (i.e. vampires & pillar men). How would you shake JoJo up if you could contribute to the writing?

Jojo is cursed by stands. Araki cannot move past them because modern readers literally would not accept it. He's completely trapped by the concept. It's become his creative prison. Personally, I'd rather see each Jojo part deal with new types of abilities. Hamon was good for two parts. Stands should have similarly been phased out after part 4. Araki tried to escape stands in part 7, but we know how that eventually ended up.

I want to see a cyberpunk JoJo (since JoJo arcs are genre-based)

Make it so it's a parallel dimension or whatever and Stands exist but they need a mechanical body or something to inhabit, like those dolls in Mega Man Battle Network

Then have the villains be computer viruses or some shit, maybe like Boomers from Bubblegum Crisis but more CUHRAZYYY

Also bring vampires back, I don't feel like their story was properly wrapped up, surely there's like one other stone mask out there somewhere

>Animeonly cuck talking about a series he has no knowledge of

it simply has to do with live adaptations. People come in greater numbers to see live adaptations of movies because of actors while less would see an animated film unless they are families or kids.
Then they keep trying until they get the right formula. Which isnt that fucking hard because what Hollywood needs to learn is take the source material and stick to it as much as possible.

Pucci is almost universally loved. I have literally never seen someone who has read part 6 and disliked him. I've seen a number of people who outright hate Kira for a number of (admittedly retarded) reasons.

Because there are other parts to this manga than Part 1, and your type clearly haven't actually read them.

Your type clearly is ESL
