Ok so, I’m a manga reader so of course I’ll have bias, but I think this is a great series with a slow start. I read the manga for this series a while back and really did enjoy it, but the start was pretty bog-standard and unremarkable. It’s really being felt full force in the anime because of the weird lengths of the manga chapters. In the beginning of the manga the chapters are only around 5 pages long on average, that doesn’t really translate too well to screen. Aside from that, this adaptation has been good so far. The animation is surprisingly good for ... a show like this. I don’t really dig too far into the details of specific productions, I just look at the studio and that’s about it. When I saw the studio for this series, I wasn’t expecting all that much. Needless to say, I’m pretty surprised. The music and voice acting in this show is solid enough. The ost hasn’t stood out to me too much. The voice acting does it’s job as well. As for story and characters, the story is pretty standard, and the characters are fun. The story is just about Izumi, who is very unlucky, and Shikimori, who is popular and attractive (and surprisingly cool), going on wacky antics with friends. The story gets way better in later arcs but as of now it’s nothing too special. I do suggest you stick with it.

People will get mad for this so I’ll explain.

It’s very VERY hard to make me bored of a show, I mean, I sat through all 90 or so episodes of filler at the end of naruto (2002).

This show bored me to tears, the characters were uninteresting, the story felt like a filler arc, the fandom made me want to commit mass genocide, and did I mention it was boring? It’s SO BORING! I couldn’t watch more than 10 episodes of this shit! I was dying of boredom!

Story: 1/10
I’ve mentioned it many times in the last paragraph so you probably already know what I’m ... going to say. It’s boring, of course it is. Every episode is so formulaic. They travel to a certain location so they can get to Egypt, and then a stand user sent by appears. They fight the stand user and win, rinse and repeat for 10 episodes. I honestly don’t know nor care if this gets better in the future, what I saw was hell.

Art: 7/10
I won’t lie, the art is good. I have always liked the art style of Jojo, it’s indisputably good. The animation is also pretty good considering how detailed and hard to animate these characters must be.

Sound: 8/10
What can I say, David productions knows how to make sound effects. This and Fire Force prove that. The voice acting and openings are great too. Not the biggest fan of the endings but they aren’t terrible.

Characters: 2/10
It may be this shows age showing but most of the characters are painfully generic. Joseph is still good but that’s because he always was. Jotaro is annoyingly generic with his “badass silent protagonist” type attitude, and I can barely remember any of the other characters main traits. They just were that forgettable. All I remember is they were all enemies turned allies which is pretty cliche but I haven’t minded some other dynamics like this.

Enjoyment: 1/10
I had one hell of a bad time watching this show. I’ve mentioned how boring it was way too many times already but it’s not just that. Right around the time I started battle tendency, two of my friends got into jojo. They both promised not to be THAT kind of jojo fan but alas, my hopes were dashed. I had multiple other friends in a bunch of discord servers I was in who also were mad that I disliked this show. It got so annoying that any tiny chance I might’ve had to pick this show back up was erased. I’m the kind of person that will stay far away from anything that’s shoved down my throat. That’s why I haven’t finished aot yet.

Overall: 2/10
Some stuff like art and sound bring this show up a tier. I won’t lie, David productions is adapting the hell out of this series. Im pretty frustrated that this part is as bad as it is. I’ve heard that the second half isn’t as bad and part 4 looks like something I’d really enjoy. Although, I know skipping parts is a bad idea and I don’t know if I’ll every manage to get past this shithole. I guess we’ll see in the future.
