You know, for someone who says that he doesn't want people to think of him and Rohan as similar, Araki's doing a pretty good job of proving the opposite.

I think it's mostly that he doesn't want people to think of him as unapproachable and aloof as Rohan. He's a caricature, not a self-insert.

Wasn't there an author's note or interview or something where Araki said his friends would make him eat weird stuff or something like that

The ending of the jojo rpgmaker game where you befriend hol horse and hang out with him is one of the best endings in the game and it is a shame it doesn't lead into the developer room so you can't use it to enter a new cycle.

People in the anime thread are talking about trying to describe Jojo to other people. I don't think any description is better than "one guy touches another guys balls and decides to travel the country with him on horseback."

I've always described at as the story of generations of a family fighting evil and there's dudes named Vanilla Ice and Notorious B.I.G sometimes but yours is way better.

Haven't actually read/watched the series, but are all of those characters just incapable of doing something as mundane as 'walking into a bistro and buying a sandwich' without inverting reality and turning the building into a psychedelic screensaver?

My current method of description is something like, "You know how Superman used to have all these really wierdly over specific powers like Super Weaving. Jojo is what happens if you find a person whose only power is Super Weaving and then when you fight them they totally kick your rear end."

Super weaving wasn't even a power, it was just weaving at super speed.

But in Jojo, super weaving could be the only function of a stand. Hell, Jolyn's stand is that if super weaving were to let you create a punch ghost out of thread.

Well yes obviously but the comics chose to have Superman say something like "Using my Super Weaving I'll make a dress." rather than "I'll use my Super Speed to weave a dress." so it's close enough for the analogy.
