I need to watch Jojo at some point but I also really enjoy that it's the one piece of media where I feel like I know less about what it's about every time I read people talking about it.

It's by the guy who wrote boogiepop which ive heard of but never read otherwise. Right now he's writing a spinoff manga with Hol Horse set in Morioh with Josuke

I also like how in the spin off novels, at least the golden wind ones, the stands are named for movies rather than songs

season 1 isn't what jojos is about. except objectively admiring beefcakes, that's important the whole series.

I found it insulting and tiresome in light of my hiatus from anime caused by Kaiba having the same awful anime trope last three episodes as every other anime I ever saw. So I didn’t give it a second chance and now life is to short to bother.

The main character has to fight god/embodiment of the universe/dark part of himself which is divinely important for 2-3 tedious episodes that keep trying to top how cool the last was. Granted I was like 20 when I decided that so maybe I’m stupid. JoJo didn’t do that but my impression was that it barely rose to the level of camp to make fun of that and I was like Whatever, gently caress this crap.

Basically because I started seriously hating anime in my early twenties JoJo and the praise it was receiving for its references and whatever struck me as basically Japanese Family Guy lol. Ignorant and biased? Perhaps. But gently caress you.

Brings me back to gathering with friends and watching them on a little portable DVD player while we’re each waiting for our turn in 4player Timesplitters. Hardly ever saw anything after that though, except for that time they did a Leeroy Jenkins bit a dozen years after it was funny

Give me a million “remember that time when” over Rick and north or bojack horsemean

I think people hype JoJo in ways that make it seem like it's all about the memes and goofy poo poo, but what makes it so good is that it's fundamentally super good at using action and visuals to tell a story and develop characters and stuff. Also it's really surprising how dark and kinda... psychedelically nightmarish it is at times, but still manages to be kind of dopey and positive because the main characters cut through the bullshit so well.
