| Thoughts? I like that they basically crammed 10 manga chapters into one episode. They actually made the early part of JoJo's very intense and interesting. How did you all like the directing? The art style? Features? Oh, and what do you all think that mask will do (for those who have not read the manga). |

| DIO! DIO! DIO! I do agree with the intense and interesting part. It moved really fast, I feel like the episode was 10 minutes long in a good way. Even though the punches on that first fight looked pretty weird, all the other fight scenes were really good, especially when they fought in the mansion. The characters are nice to look at, but JoJo looked a lot like Kenshiro in the preview. Looking forward to see ZA WARUDO getting animated. PS: Love the ED. PPS: Koyasu sounds great as usual. |

| I really liked the character designs. They took the best elements from the Part 1 art style and updated it to mesh with Araki's more recent work. Visually, Dario Brando's outstretched hand when he was beckoning to Dio and the filters that flashed during Dio's moments of rage were the most standout moments. The early chapters of Jojo have never been dull or uninteresting in my opinion, but the pacing here is very good and probably more accessible to people who tend to watch action shows. |
| Yeah, I agree. I use the term 'boring' to say that it was very slow. Personally, I like the build up of the characters early on. Sometimes, it seemed to meander, but it is up to personal preference with that kind of pacing. |
| |
| I think what is most important is that this show looks like it is going to be a great showcase for Araki's characters, which the Part 3 OVAs did not do very well in my opinion. |
| The Part 3 OVA was more mindless action than anything else with the loose backdrop of the beginning story. Really, it was just an excuse to animate a rapid punching and people shouting ZA WARLDO. |
| |
| It was for people who had already read Part 3. Sort of like watching Initial D Battle Stage. People who were unfamiliar with the source material could only vaguely follow the motivations and purposes of the characters, and the Jojo world itself. |
| As a JoJo newbie, I feel so left out. Though I do know Jotaro is the best JoJo. |
