Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan

I don't understand the reviews deriding this as if it's important to JJBA. Or the ones criticizing things that don't matter in an anthology series. Maybe some of you have never seen the shows this is an homage to. It's just for fun, and Kishibe is absolutely the perfect character to frame it, and it's good to see Koichi and Okyuasu again. It's just four strange stories that are like the Twilight Zone in the JoJo universe. I find it to be very enjoyable, and I had pretty low expectations. 8/10. I'm docking it for being so short at 4 episodes and because it doesn't feel like it was meant to be taken too seriously, not like JJBA is either, but this even less so.

Great set ups for some interesting adventures but unfortunately the episodes end right when things are just getting interesting every. Single. Time.

In the regular Jojo series there's always an aspect of mystery when you encounter an enemy for the first time. The heroes use their wits and always manage to figure out the mystery eventually. This same mystery is present in this series here but the mystery is never solved.

All episodes are one offs and their stories are never addressed again after each episode. This makes each episode feel like the 1st half of a story only.

I love araki and anything Jojo, the guy has such a weird sense of humor and style. Thus spoke kishibe rohan has a very 'Goosebumps' feel to it. There are different short stories per episode. Great if araki ever wants to do something different, the guy is good at giving himself options. One thing I noticed though is that this is all supposed to be set around the year 1999-2000 and one woman is shown using a smart phone and there are flat screen TVs so there are some timeline Inconsistencies. I do hope they release more episodes in the future, david production also did a great job on this series.

Keeping this review simple and SPOILER free. This short series covers 4 stories told by or involving Rohan Kishibe, with each episode being a different story.

Each episode has a different twist and feels fresh watching whilst maintaining the Diamond is Unbreakable feel throughout (especially keeping with with Rohans character.)

It's a definite watch if you've watched at least Diamond is Unbreakable of JoJo, yet even so the story is pretty straight forward without that previous knowledge.

Its a great show and confused me how it got an MA15+ on netflix as it was much less violent than jjba, the storys were great and i wished it lasted longer.
