JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

I've got to be honest, the first few episodes had me doubting what exactly what I was watching. I decided to stick through it and man...I'm glad I did. One word to describe this show....unique. I haven't watched the whole series yet, but with each episode I get that "what happens next" feeling. I am still relatively new to watching anime (I've watched a few series), but I can definitely say this is one I enjoy.

Generally, Jojo's Bizarre adventure is a title that have an incredible variety of situations through its stories. But Golden wind consolidates the work that Hiroiko Araki was doing since the series started, not just in a matter of drawing style, but in his narrating style.

Entertaining and thought-provoking through the stands of all of the characters, you are always thinking about how our heroes can defeat that enemy, the amazing and imaginative ways that every stand user control his/her stand (Specially Giorno, our central character in this "season") are completely fascinating. Mix all of this stuff with a catchy gang story and you have a gripping and incredible masterpiece that is still a must read on Japanese manga history

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has been a ride for me. I got into it, because of it's massive Impact on the anime community as a whole and how it bends the rules of traditional anime and makes me laugh and sob at the drop of a checkered hat. Stories in traditional "shonen" or "for boys" anime fall into obvious tropes that JoJo does not. Normal anime will follow a main character (mostly male) trying to solve a problem through fights. JoJo follows that guideline with some major improvements. When following one main character you run into the problem of the story becoming boring or the main character becoming so overpower that they seem not likable because they run out of the faults that make them human. JoJo switches off the baton of the main focus of the story with it not being about one Joestar, but a family of Joestars. Each Joestar has one problem to solve and a loads of amazing support characters that make this a lovable and amazing series pretty much perfect for me. that being said, I know this show is far from perfect with it's many plot holes and unfinished stories, and lets not talk about the way far away things look in the anime, but in my eyes this story of a family overcoming trials and tribulations is just enough for me to call it my favorite piece of fiction.

Often a lesser gem in the Jojo series, Golden Wind in it's own right can be considered a masterpiece. A story which spans across Italy about a young man named Giorno Giovanna, who sets off on a journey with his friends which can rival Stardust Crusaders. A story about dreams, power, and lineage, follow this installment for a good time.

JoJo is one of the weirdest and most entertaining anime's out there, and yet there's an emotional core to it. When people always talk about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure they always just talk about the memes or the great openings or the "Enemy stando!", but there's so much more to why people (including myself) love JoJo. Yes the memes and ridiculousness of JoJo is a ton of fun and certainly gives it the personality it's now become infamous for, but there is some truly incredible writing and characters in here. Plus because of the way the parts are laid out each one is unique and different, so if you didn't like the previous part then you'll probably like the next, then again literally every part is good except maybe the first. And the animation and music by David production is all fantastic.
