Part 3 is very monster of the week but starting with Emperor and Hanged Man it gets very good at doing monster of the week.

I'd argue that the sun is an exception to this

the sun is not a good arc

Part 3 is probably one of those things that’s better if you go in knowing “oh, it’s Araki doing a battle manga now” cause I was pretty onboard just how it was largely an endless string of dumb monster of the week villains but written by Hirohiko Araki so they’re mostly pretty amusing/interesting if you have no other expectations. Part 2 is really strong though so I get people being bummed than Part 3 made the protagonist an a hot headed French man instead of Young Joseph, that is quite the downgrade.

For me I had just gotten temp-banned from an Alternate History forum over stupid bullshit, and looked up the biggest functioning forum I could find and talk about history/anime/etc. Place still has an excellent rules system.

I think I first found about SA through Scorchy's KotOR II LP. I've been lurking ADTRW since around 2008/2009 and my inability to resist the chance to shill Nijisanji is what finally pushed to me to make the first post here after ~12 years.

I liked Gundou Mirei's story about how a kid in one of her (real life) classes found out she was a Vtuber but he liked her as a teacher so he decided not to tell anyone so she wouldn't get in trouble.

And that kid's oshi turned out to be Ryushen so it's all her fault. :v: IIRC at least one of her fellow teachers already know she's in Nijisanji.

the monster of the week in part 3 turned me off of jojo's forever esp with how hyped up part 3 was. Part 2 tho was FTW

I initially dropped pt 3, it really didn't click. A few years later I watched pt 4+ and loved it, went back to pt 3 and could watch and enjoy it.
Maybe do that!

my first exposure to SA was being in an irc channel around 2002 and some goons flooding the channel with goatse

that was also my first encounter with goatse

the admin of the channel was like "those loving GOOOOOOOOOONSSSSS :orks:" and I curiously went to SA to see what it was like

Jotaro vs D'Arby was such a great showdown. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the inspiration behind Psycho Mantis in MGS.
