Part 5's fights are mostly great but it really needed some downtime in there. The characters are fun but there are so few opportunities for them to do anything but react to the fight immediately in front of them, it all just got tiring after awhile.

araki used all his shonen powers on the flawless masterpiece that is part 4, it's only natural there would be a dip in quality and coherence afterwards

Part 5’a fights are loving great and some of the characters are A+, that ending is just kind of a letdown. Anyways, I’m finally caught up to the most recent chapter. I can’t wait to see how Araki ends part 8.

I'm still baffled that people still defend Part 6's ending and even consider it a happy ending when it involves literally the entire cast save for one kid dying.

I'd say it's bittersweet. Even though they're the same souls, they're different people, and that's hosed up even if they turn out better for it. Also FF doesn't come back with the rest of them so that's extremely hosed up.

Jojo Part 6 is the ultimate in Araki going all in on narrative logic at the expense of actual logic and it rules hard.

Honestly I was very down on part 5 before the anime but the more I think about it the more I like it, I think out of the three parts that tangle with the idea of characters standing up to fate and divine intervention its the one with the strongest theming. Diavolo being the embodiment of "the ends justify the means" as someone who always takes the easy, short route and focuses so much on "results" that they'll never reach the "truth" is rad. Giorno might be boring as gently caress but he's the kind of insanely determined and self-sacrificing person that the sleeping slaves must follow in order to change fate. These concepts might not be very well executed but they're at least thematically sound. Also the music rules extremely hard and blows every other part out of the water. Giorno's theme is the best track in the whole franchise, fight me.

i wouldn't argue that stairway to heaven is well-written as far as final bosses go i guess pucci's defeat is better than diavolo's but shrug emoji

The more I think about part 5, the ending especially, the more I dislike it. It has some of the best monster if the week fights ever, but the ending is just such a loving wet fart that it taints the whole thing. It also doesn't help that Giorno is just so loving dull.

about 18 eps in and buciarrati is the real protagonist to me what is it with jojo where the side characters end up being so good though. my fav character overall is definitely polnareff and, to my knowledge, i think he comes back in either part 5 or 6 so im looking forward to that

Part 6 has a cool ending because they died and went to a Heaven timeline Maybe I’m wrong but that’s how I took it, suffering is over and they exist in a holy end where Made In Heaven succeeded but Pucci’s control was gone meaning all living things could unconsciously choose a better fate and create a living Heaven, and gravity drew their souls back together I really liked that

Emporio's really crying at the end because he realized that Annasui was dead and he was just so happy about that.

i just passed the first arc of part 5 where the gang fights the boss's elite guard, the one where trish starts using her stand on the plane against the weird death-activated stand (also lol its called notorious big) im imagining it'll become more clear when he's interacted with, but is king crimson meaningfully different than the world / star platinum? i might be dumb but i genuinely can't see how "erasing time" and the boss being able to move inside the "erased" time while nobody else can is different than just "stopping time"

The thing about King Crimson is that, while you can figure out how it works at a single moment in the story, it’s exact function and limitations change frequently so attempting to make the whole thing fit together is not actually possible. So, to answer your question - sometimes it’s like the World, sometimes it isn’t. USUALLY the idea is that everyone is ”locked” into what there’ll be doing for while it’s being used while the boss can do whatever he wants, with the added bonus of everyone else not being able to remember what happened, but even that’s inconsistent. The Boss not being able to interfere with their movement during the erased time is another “sometimes” rule.
