| The OP sounded so awesome with the effects *-* HORRY SHIT! This finale was amazing, they definitely blew the remaining budget on this. The censors make me mad :< Awaiting 2nd half! 8/10, almost a 9! |
| Some nice sound effects were added in the opening First part was much more enjoyable. I love Joseph reactions. I was hoping the High Pristess would had kept silent. Good thing they didn't show her face. I know we all wanted to confirm that she was a beauty. Well, now we have to endure till 2015. |

Fadeout4 said: CookieBun said: I guess sound effects in the OP for the last part of the series is going to be a thing now? It's always been a thing. When they show an opening for the last time, they add sound effects. They did that for Part 1 and 2, so it makes sense that they do it for Part 3 too. EDIT: I forgot, the last part 1 episode only had sound effects in the blu-ray version, but the aired version of Part 2 had sound effects too. Oh I didn't realize (or remember?) that they did it for Part 1 as well. I only remember they did it for Part 2. |

| Hmm. I've never read the manga but fans really hyped part 3 up to be super duper amazing and blow the previous parts out of the water. I did enjoy this anime but I still liked part 2 a lot more ^^ But on to the second half of the anime! |

There's some enjoyable parts in the second half, but most people think of Part 3 as being middle of the series to one of the weaker parts. Most people consider 7, 4 and 2 to be the best of Jojo (excluding Part 8, as it's still being published). |
| The end to that fight was pretty disappointingly simple, considering how versatile that High Priestess was. Also, I didn't get the hand-gestures "I can't see your underwear" reference. The altered OP was really neat. |

| Is this really the best part of Jojo? I don't think it's bad but very far from a masterpiece that everyone hyped. It's an okay action series without too much bullshit and very manly for sure, also some clever fights but that's about it. Well I hope the 2nd season would be better although I read that it'd be just as episodic. 7/10 |

| People may bash me but I enjoyed the first 24 stardust crusaders episodes , but for real its shitty compared to the Egypt arc , in fact I never used to understand why some people saw part 3 as superior to part 2 then I read the manga , Egypt arc is crazy , that is all what I can say! |

| The 2nd half is where it's really at people ;) Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

Just keep it low so they,I'm putting myself too,can see for themselves if it was really good or not. |
| It was very good. 8/10 good thing it will come back so soon. |
| Ended on a very good place. I like the fights in the later half much more so I'll definitely be looking forward to it's animation. |

| Good ep, the high priestess stand is good but jotaro star platinum is better. They finally reach egypt, so hype for season 2 of stardust crusader. Thought on this jojo sc, not as good as jojo bt arc still enjoyable ride(had some awsome moment like avdol vs polnareff, devil stand, the empress & hangedmen ep) plus the animation is way better. I have no regret watchng this show 8/10. |

| disappointing compared to part 2. When's the next one airing? |

|
| This was so damn good, loved this season. I still like the second arc of JoJo (pillar men arc) better than this one but it's still really good. I hope they continue to adapt this awesome manga for a long time. At least I hope we can get Diamond is Unbreakable. Also this scene was pure awesome:  |

Japan considers Part 3 and 5 the two best arcs in the series, while most of the fanbase outside of Japan considers them in the bottom 3 (with Phantom Blood). So really it depends where you're looking I guess. Also the second part of Part 3 is where most of the greatness of the Part occurs anyway so don't be surprised if it's much more well received with some of the more iconic fights. |

| Oh yeah, something i always had on my mind: Why is ripple/hamon never used again? I understand that it loses to stands but it would still be useful (they could at least pass the basic through generations) |

cruzateu said: Oh yeah, something i always had on my mind: Why is ripple/hamon never used again? I understand that it loses to stands but it would still be useful (they could at least pass the basic through generations) Because as powers go, it's pretty limited. Stands however, come in all shapes and sizes. So I think it was a strategic change by the author to something more malleable and unique for his manga. As much as I liked 'ripple' it's very similar to 'ki' and that sort of thing is in a lot of manga. Stands however is pretty unique. |

xSanox said: loved it. don't feel like reviewing stardust crusaders yet when the arc is only half way done still gave it a ten because it is an incredibly faithful and enjoyable adaptation jojo is something special and people will love it or hate it Me too. Love it. I'll probably never read the manga but I'm so glad I didn't skip the anime. I did a wikiwalk and became quite interested in the drama/comedy/action of it all. 10! Poor Polnareff though lol. He's been getting attacked first for quite a while. Can't remember if it was always like that or after the airplane/high speed bug ep. minouneetzoe said: JoJo gang criteria to save an opponent : is she a chick? No? Well, fuck her. Didn't she knew that diamond is incredibly hard, but also greatly fragile. It doesn't make a good protection... This season really lakced of DIOOOOOO :( Diamond is the hardest substance on earth (actually third now I think) so it would actually make great protection, diamond tipped drill bits are used to dig into the earth and such. I thought it was strange for the "diamond grill" to be ORAORAORA'ed so easily. Whatever though, it was still cool. |

Sure, but it was never THE BEST, it was hyped because of all the Parts, Part 3 was the one that had the most exposure. It got a Capcom game, which popularized DIO, it had an OVA and it's the only part back then with a manga that was available in English. Part 4 and Part 7 are the fan favorites and every adventure of JoJo is different so please stop asking "Why can't it be more like Part 2", "DIO? DIO? DIO? Is it DIO? Where's DIO? Show DIO?", "why isn't ripple relevant anymore?" Ripple is fucking gone, deal with it. It's an art that needs to be mastered so not everyone can use them and their usage is limited and mainly used for fighting vampires which only come out at night. First jojo doesn't master any shit and has ripple, so no |

cruzateu said: don't remember it being useful just for vampiries but ok In this anime they show Joseph using it against Dio's flesh buds and it's effective (removing them from Kakyoin), but when he tries to use it against a Stand (The Empress), it has no effect. Then he proceeds to defeat the Stand with Hermit Purple, establishing that Hamon will have little use on the journey until Dio unless they happen to meet other obstacles in which sunlight would be effective against. The entire point of Hamon is that it harnesses the power of the sun/solar energy, so it's useful against zombies/vampires. Other clever uses of it are shown here and there, but none of them significant enough to overshadow the massive power of Stands. They could make an attempt to pass it down the bloodline, but again, that would be kind of pointless since all Joestars are likely to have very powerful Stands that would render Hamon useless unless they encounter a vampire/zombie. It might have been cool to see Hamon progress along with Stands, but it is what it is. |

| Pretty decent season, certainly had its moments. It's got nothing on part 2 though. I hope it picks up a bit once the Egypt arc starts. |

| I can't wait for my bishonen puppy next season~ |
| To be honest, I really didn't enjoy Part 3 (so far) as much as Part 1 and 2. I'm not really sure if it's the fact that everyone they fight, you'll never see again (other then Hol Horse), or the fact that a lot of battles are won from brute strength rather then wit. I'm hoping the 2nd half gets better. |
| "I have blue eyes, blonde hair... uhhhh... gatling cannon..." My smile's fanbase... maybe... [remember to put image here so sig look cool]_______  |
| Wait, it's over already?? |
| My thoughts on the serie in short. No Dio, and new Jojo doesn't hold the candle to the old Jojo who is still there but it's not the same. The story is also less epic than it was in the second part of Jojo. New powers, stands, are much less awesome than the powers that were in previous season as well. OVERDRIVE! I loved it so much more. Well, the serie was still good but the fact that I have been waiting for DIO for the whole time and did not get him is ... why? Was it really necessary to prolong this journey? Ah. The fact that this part didn't have a defined ending is also disappointing. In general, I am disappointed. |

Are you aware this is an adaptation right? There's actually still more than half of the story to be said about, and it doesn't have a defined ending because it's not finished yet. |

eso18 said: The fact that this part didn't have a defined ending is also disappointing. In general, I am disappointed. It's not over, it's only at the halfway point. They're just going on a hiatus so they can finish animating it. FFS, how could anyone think that this was the end of the part? @_@ |
