Sell me on JoJo

I feel like I’ve missed some cultural zeitgeist or somethin’.

yare yare nigga

It's battle shonen that focuses more on mental strength and wits as opposed to raw strength. The introduction of stands in Part 3 leads to much more abstract character abilities through the rest of the series.

>focuses more on mental strength and wits as opposed to raw strength
Sounds interesting enough, should I go manga or anime?

Anime, then manga for the non adapted parts

It's manly, over the top and fun

Read the manga. Anime is balls.

>Anime is balls.
In what way?

I'm not selling you on shit. Watch it if you want.

>manly
part 1-3 maybe , after that it's faggy as hell (especially part 5)

But bucciarati is the manliest jojo mc

Anime isn't balls. Anime probably has one of the best soundtracks of any modern battle shonen.

There are 8 parts, the anime covers 5.
Watch the anime, and then switch to manga with part 6.
Also, there's bw manga, and the colored version. Part 6 colored is fine, but for 7 and 8 I'd advise going bw, because the coloring there, especially for 7, is terrible and actually hurts the art.

Just go and read it before the anime experts and contrarian faggots arrive.

Most people missed the cultural zeitgeist and only started reading it (or even worse, watching it) over 30 years after it started.

Popular and wacky cool series with some real good characters/storyarcs at times. Just try it

Manga and show have bad artstyles. "Story" is laughably bad. Just don't watch it

It really lives up to its name, parts just get more and more bizarre one after the other. It's a cool shonen with a cool power system from part 3 onwards. Try it for yourself, some people say that part 1 is rough, but it's fairly short so don't get discouraged, it's only 9 episodes. Also don't pay much attention to the fanbase, it can get pretty bad sometimes.

You need better ways to get atention annon.

Read the manga but listen to so no chi no sadame before every reading session

i like the artstyle a lot.
my roommate watches it and every time i look over, i don't understand how there could be any coherent plot.
it just looks like the author wanted to draw a bunch of cool shit and came up with some way to put them together.
what is it really about?

Don't be a part skipping faggot

Good guys vs bad guys than spans generations.

wow... so compelling... is there good character development? do the cast have chemistry?

No.
just watch it.

Some casts are better than others, but they're pretty good for the most part. The earlier parts don't offer to much character development, but becomes more common later on. In the 30 years that JoJo has been published, it has consistently gotten better in every aspect

Find out for yourself and quit procrastinating with this thread

Not much character development until part 4, but definitely great chemistry.

Just read it and see if you like it, I don’t have to sell you on shit.
