I'm only most of the way through 4 right now, from what i understand 5 is perceived as sort of weak but only because of poor translation, but 6 and 7 are great, how is 8 faring in quality so far?

It's a mystery, so it's just hard to say how good a mystery is before the end. But so far it's a great ride with weird assholes and JoJo shenanigans and beetle rasslin'. Also I personally love Soft & Wet's design and power.

People sometimes suggest this, but that's not the only issue with part 5; it also has an ending that isn't very good.

My stand, [Walks Like An Egyptian], can see the future, and I can confirm that after DIO it goes on for several hundred episodes, Stardust Crusaders just continues with filler arc after filler arc. Kakyoin, Avdol, and Iggy return as ghosts.

I want a Soft & Wet figure and I aint even read JoJolion. That design is just so goodl

I'm really worried Part 4 anime will kick start more Part 4 figures being made cause if so, my wallet is hosed. I already got a Crazy Diamond, but I really want a Killer Queen fig. I also want a Kira, (one figure of Kira allows you to put a sandwich bag in his hand and that's so drat cool) but if I do I'll want Josuke so both Stands have their users and then oops I'm a pit of anime figures.

jojolion is great because it's a weird thing that can only exist due to the previous 7 parts and 25+ years of existence, and while it's a big mystery right now you just know that araki's going to neatly tie it up and it's all going to make sense by the end

I dunno, Araki making things make sense is a hell of a leap. JoJo is loving crammed with dropped hooks and the like.

Norisuke thinks Kira found out a way to cure the illness - so I'm thinking it's pretty obvious Joubin or someone on his orders killed him.

i feel like at this point he knows exactly what he wants to do, especially with the monthly schedule and the fact that it's starting out as a big mystery in the first place. the series has come a good little way from 'people are now filled with aliens which are coming out due to the arrow or something???' from part 5

there were definitely moments earlier in the series where it was obvious that araki didn't know what the gently caress but at this point he's already established everything he needs to establish and all that leaves are the fine details of the actual stories. steel ball run was really tight and nothing came off as janky. jojolion has so far been exactly the same way, and each chapter that comes out reveals just a little bit more each time and soon it's going to start clicking into place.

Is Hall and Oates the naming tribute for Hol Horse? I've heard it was a band called Full Force but Hall and Oates sounds kind of close enough for it also make sense.

Avdol is Paula Abdul, and Straizo is Straights, so Hol Horse is probably Full Force, yeah. There's no orse sound in Hall and Oates.

It's more depending on the accent of the speaker to someone who doesn't speak English that you could get Oates mangled up enough that you could hodge-podge it to Horse. It's not meant to be a direct translation to it, rather just a nod.

There are a bunch of JoJo fans are very obnoxious and rather invasive with their fandom. It's not as bad as Bronies because they post sexy DIO instead of cartoon horses banging. It's like number 7 billion on a list of things to be upset about though.
