I started to watch this out of boredom in 2014. Didn't exactly know what to expect except this is based on one of the biggest selling manga in Japan. "Jojo" also has a silly ring to it. I figured all these people can't be wrong. And indeed, what a ride. It is so much fun to watch this weird, colorful anime. Don't give up after the first episode as its sillyness grows on you. Kudos to the weird imagination of the author for the unpredictable storyline. It totally lives up to the title 'bizarre'. I'm so happy Netflix gives this anime the attention it deserves. A bit of warning: it contains humor which was acceptabele to most people in the late 80ies - begin 90ies but may upset some people now.

The artwork is beautiful, the animation is great and the storytelling is well-paced. The protagonists grow on you as you learn more about their motivations. There's very explicit violence, nudity and rude language but all serving the story.
