I started watching JoJo and idk what took me so long, given how popular it is nowadays with its fashion, fanbase, and memes. Lol. (Yes, I know you saw Megan Thee Stallion’s cosplay coz it was so cool!)
I’m also glad to have discovered an existing anime with such a rich cultural impact and distinct, artsy, edgy vibe. It gives a fresh perspective to what I consider as seinen, bc it’s a masculine anime intertwined with feminine themes. I also like how Araki is inspired by Western styles, but the way the characters explain every move with talk-no-jutsu takes you back to its Japanese roots. Such a beautiful and vibrant world to delve into.
They say you can never understand JoJo’s story unless you watch it yourself, and I completely agree with that. I am enjoying everything about it so far. It’s so convoluted, idiotic and funny at the same time, but will defo give you a good time watching.
(My current fave is Joseph Joestar, but I’m still on the 3rd part - Stardust Crusaders, so it might be too early to lock that in, it might change as time progresses.)
