Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan

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.

I absolutely love Japanese anime. Unfortunately, this did not make the cut. Although technically well done, the characters and their characterizations were completely a turn off. The story telling was nothing but pretentious tripe. Each episode had a number listed at the beginning. Apparently, a whole season of episodes was produced but only four of them were selected out of the season to air by Netflix. Episodes 1 through 3 didn't make the cut. The ones aired were not in order, confusing the ongoing storyline. It was so bad, they couldn't release anything but these four episodes, sacrificing any possibility of continuity. Thumbs down.

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.

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.

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.
