Golden Wind

I love it so much. I didn't know if I would when I started watching it, but as it went on I loved it more and more. It has great and memorable chatacters, stylish visuals, cool strategy-based action, incredible music and many dead dogs. Here are some quick thoughts about each part:

PHANTOM BLOOD: The first three episodes are a masterpiece. Drags a bit in the middle, but sticks the landing. Speedwagon rules

BATTLE TENDENCY: Joseph is great. Stronger and better paced than Phantom Blood, but it does drag a bit towards the end.

STARDUST CRUSADERS: Long, epic, incredible. The introduction of Stands changed the game. The crusaders are unforgettable.

DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE: My favorite part. I love the colors, the characters, the villain. Great Days is my favorite Jojo opening. A truly beautiful Duwang.

GOLDEN WIND: As always the main team is great. The torture dance is one of the finest pieces of animation ever created. Polnareff is turtle.

The Rohan OVAs are also great. I can't wait for Stone Ocean.

I'm not that crazy about shonen in general, but there's something about JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE that just hooks you. It's so over the top, so surreal, and yet so emotionally earnest that one cannot help but be caught in its spell.

Holy I can't express how much I love this it's a masterpiece it's memes it's sound effects the dramatic letters and the fact that there's like 3 more parts for this series is very anticipating I recommend that you watch this anime it's very very good

Don't know why this anime was split into parts 1 and 2. I just watched episodes 1-26, so I'm going to review it as one show.

It starts with a rich family (the Joestars) adopting a poor boy named Dio. Dio is the same age as the Joestar's son, Jonathan, and they become fierce rivals at everything trying to get the attention of Jonathan's father. Initially, Dio is better at everything, but as they grow up, Jonathan catches up to Dio, making him bitter and twisted. One day, he finds a stone mask, that when attached to his face, transforms him into an evil vampire...

The shows stretches over 3 generations of Joestars and each son is nicknamed Jojo. They spend their lives fighting vampires and other, stronger immortals.

What I really liked about this show was the humour. The characters were all great and the animation and action scenes were awesome, but the humour turned what could have been a dark, horror type story into something really fun. Normally, I'd prefer them to have left out the humour and gone down the dark path, but in this case, it really works well. Definitely worth a watch!

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has been a ride for me. I got into it, because of it's massive Impact on the anime community as a whole and how it bends the rules of traditional anime and makes me laugh and sob at the drop of a checkered hat. Stories in traditional "shonen" or "for boys" anime fall into obvious tropes that JoJo does not. Normal anime will follow a main character (mostly male) trying to solve a problem through fights. JoJo follows that guideline with some major improvements. When following one main character you run into the problem of the story becoming boring or the main character becoming so overpower that they seem not likable because they run out of the faults that make them human. JoJo switches off the baton of the main focus of the story with it not being about one Joestar, but a family of Joestars. Each Joestar has one problem to solve and a loads of amazing support characters that make this a lovable and amazing series pretty much perfect for me. that being said, I know this show is far from perfect with it's many plot holes and unfinished stories, and lets not talk about the way far away things look in the anime, but in my eyes this story of a family overcoming trials and tribulations is just enough for me to call it my favorite piece of fiction.
