JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 3: Stardust Crusaders

Years after an ancient evil was salvaged from the depths of the sea, Joutarou Kuujou sits peacefully within a Japanese jail cell. He's committed no crime yet demands he not be released, believing he's been possessed by an evil spirit capable of harming those around him. Concerned for her son, Holy Kuujou asks her father, Joseph Joestar, to convince Joutarou to leave the prison. Joseph informs his grandson that the "evil spirit" is in fact something called a "Stand," the physical manifestation of one's fighting spirit which can adopt a variety of deadly forms. After a fiery brawl with Joseph's friend Muhammad Avdol, Joutarou is forced out of his cell and begins learning how to control the power of his Stand.

However, when a Stand awakens within Holy and threatens to consume her in 50 days, Joutarou, his grandfather, and their allies must seek out and destroy the immortal vampire responsible for her condition. They must travel halfway across the world to Cairo, Egypt and along the way, do battle with ferocious Stand users set on thwarting them. If Joutarou and his allies fail in their mission, humanity is destined for a grim fate.

Okay, I'm starting to see the appeal of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. At first, I thought this show was a little too nonsensical, but with time, I have learned that the over-the-top and excessive nature of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is exactly the direct appeal of this anime.

Each fight scene is exciting, hilarious, and leaves you on the edge of your seat. At first, you might think the show introduces too many characters and that you'll never remember them all, let alone catch their growth or development. Somehow, though, this season of anime bites off more than it can chew and manages to swallow it; it ... has ambitious goals but achieves them anyway.

The artwork isn't noticeably better than previous arcs, but somehow, it hits you harder this time around. The relationships between characters feels very meaningful, and you are extremely rooting for the main characters as this season progresses. I'd say this is an effective season of anime.

Mixed Feelings

Short Review:
SDC just isn't as interesting as other parts of the series; it can actually be quite a bore sometimes unlike any other part in the franchise. I believe this is for two reasons: First, Jotaro is one of the least interesting and personable Jojos and he also is succeeding one of the best characters in the entire franchise, Joseph. Second, the arcs and villains leading up to the ending are just not that interesting. Maybe only a couple of the villains that the heroes fight along the way to Dio are memorable at all, and only superficially. Third, the rest of the supporting cast ... is not very cool. Yes, this might seem like a very shallow critique, but one of the main things that makes Jojo so unique and exciting is how — uniquely, in Araki's over the top yet sublime style — its characters are so badass. On top of that, the characters are not very fleshed out either, although this has never been a strength of the franchise to begin with.

When I think of the Jojos franchise the first thing that comes in my mind is "boring"
This shit is boring just boring.
There are many reasons for that.

First: incredibly repetitive, the plot is just a bunch of fight every damn episode until they find the main villain

Second: The plot is absolute garbage. The best way to describe this franchise is by saying that its like its written by a 12 year old or something

Third: The characters are really boring and generic. 99% of the characters are just onefaced and generic with really really boring and bad development

Fourth: The fights. They are the worst kind of ... fights there can be in anime. Slow, predictable, uninteresting, don't make sense and are interrupted by commentary.

Overall i suggest u to watch this if u want to go to sleep or something cause this shit is hot garbage
