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.

The only things i can appreciate from this show is the unique and ambitious art direction/design. other than that, all the other aspects technically and non are slightly below mediocre from the animation to the story/narrative.

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.

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.

Meh, this show is honestly not really doing it for me. The show feels like Araki came up with a bunch random side stories that he couldn't fit in jojo, so he put it here instead and then loosely connects it to Rohan. Unlike jojo, it doesn't really have a story, and in my opinion, the story of jojo helped make the bizarre elements a little more understandable which this show desperately needs. Although I do recognize that people mostly like it from what I've seen so I still recommend it for people for people who are fans of jojo, it just isn't for me sadly.
