It's one manga. You start the story at the beginning dumbass.

Not reading a manga, but I may pick up the anime from the beginning to try and understand it better. If it is my fault for not fully grasping it then that is my fault.

polnareff gets all the solo battles, polnareff makes friends with the other crusaders, polnareff has a character arc. polnareff is the main character.

Jotaro is cool because he's a huge dork and momma's boy who tries to hide those things under a the thinnest of cool facades. Also

Jotaro sucks.

But mayhaps there is a monster of the week Jojo on the horizon who instead of sacking, is cool and good.

E: this is not to denigrate the other Crusaders mind you, they're awesome

Even the villian had questionable intentions, while good, were executed wrong most times by human nature.

the dude's basically if you gave a super goony manchild physics-defying god powers and his end goal is a world populated entirely by waifus

there's no questionability about his intentions, his sole redeeming factor is that it's incredibly satisfying to watch this smug buttface get stabbed and punched and mortally wounded five or six times

also he has a dumb name and a doofy haircut

stop watching cross ange so many times, at this point it's just a waste of time, what more can you gain from spending so many hours watching the same anime over and over, you could watch GOOD anime like kaiji five times

the ending of layzner is the funniest poo poo. there aren't even many mecha battles, it's just the protagonist going through an episode of hokuto no ken

I like how in the TV ending there's a scene Eiji speaks to everyone but then there's a loud noise and they're all "We never did hear what he was trying to tell us"

And then the OVA version has everyone hear what he was actually saying.

He is basically Trying to recreate humanity into a world where everyone lives in peace, however every time he remakes it, humans become sheeple and follow whatever some dude tells them. He wants a world where everyone is understanding, thinking for themselves, and achieves their own goals without becoming stale idiots doing whatever anyone tells them. He basically is jumping dimensions to genetically engineer a way to perverse the most highest points of the human potential, unknowingly becoming evil. I mean yeah he passes the time by getting some waifus but if you lived for thousands of years why not?

Yeah I love Kaiji, the bog arc is just really slow though. Akaji is good too

It looks cool but I stopped watching it after a few episodes because nothing really happens in it.

Action for action's sake is cool in live action movies because it's like, drat. People are actually doing this poo poo, or creatively presenting it in a way to make me believe that these Kung fu guys are flying through trees. But in animation it's harder for me to care about that, since most of the time action is so weightless.

I enjoy it but the stuff in Z's Longest Day part 1 was worrying, I am deathly afraid they're going to try and explain the Great Collapse, which is a terrible idea.
