this is a review goes only from what ive seen so far
ill do my best to avoid spoilers
Story:7
this why ive specified the fact ive only gone to episode 10
i haven't seen all of it so im not nearly ready to give a final verdict but so far its gotten past the first arc. It seems to have good continuation but certain things seem to lack logic. I AM IN NO WAY COMPLAINING about that i mean its called Jojo's BIZARRE Adventure after all but it makes me kind of obsessive

Art: Let me just say I LOVE THE ART its unique it perfectly captures ... the grandeur and outrageous atmosphere of the show. the art is very solid looking but its smooth and fits the series well the way they animated the sound effects even
its hilarious

Sound: between the OST and the first opening and ending you can listen and hear the manliness. you have the solemn acoustic guitar music to full on final battle music the kind of loud and grand playing that just is a treat or the ears
i didnt want to use the word grand/grandeur again but i cant find a better word to illustrate the feeling

Characters: Jonathan Joestar in every sense he is a gentleman who sticks to his beliefs more than any shounen protagonist ive ever seen
in every conflict he had he never disrespected his opponents he maintained good morals and never had to use any of the "2edgy4me" personality twists that i see a lot these days. but then we meet Joseph Joestar it is apparent from the start of the 2nd arc Battle Tendency that he is a far cry from our gentlemanly friend Jonathan
SPOILERS FOLLOW FROM THIS POINT UNTIL THE END OF THE CHARACTERS SECTION
in his first fight with straits this becomes obvious. I expected him to block and question straits the whole time nope Joseph pulls out a tommy machine gun and shoots straits and the whole cafe he was sitting in to smithereens
i think ill enjoy battle tendency
spoilers over
ENJOYMENT: 10/10 so far its over the top way of presenting itself, the posing,the battles, the posing, the tragic moments,AND THE POSING
i jus cant get over it those poses i wish that was okay in real life tio pose as you speak your mind

overall: im enjoying every bit of it so far and suspect that after watching all of battle tendency ill give it a 10/10
and then ill nearly die as i wait 11 days for stardust crusaders to be released

well let me just say i was very excited about getting to see this movie in theaters at all i was really hyped all week to see it
ill start by explaining my ratings i gave the story a 7 because it intends on appealing to people who have seen the series lr the other 2 movies which are nearly identical n content if you haven't seen those first watch them i really liked the several nods and references to many things in their previous works its like a little bit of a good feeling to watch something and think "oh hey i remember ... that". given the beginning was also very slow and the way it was so different it was like it wasnt the same world

i gave the art a 9 because the art is so unique and ominous , also they also have the moe designs which dont define the series but it defiantly adds a cushion for the emotions i go through in the entire franchise and i can appreciate that greatly back to ominous designs thought the whole series ive loved the witch scenes how they're animated to emphasize the despair they felt before they turned into witches it has a sort of odd perspective like false familiarity by looking at them and how they re drawn we can try to guess what their wish was how they came to despair and that's an interesting feeling to say the least.

next the sound for this movie i was actually kinda disjointed for the other movies as well it seems like the OST is barely there maybe i just cant hear it but i really enjoy the music of madoka and when it only shows up here and there its almost kind of empty because it has such a great style of illustrating the atmosphere in the form of sound. ultimately i gave it 6

as for the characters putting aside them as individuals but looking at the main group as a whole in the 1st movie they established the general outline of their personalities, their past, and there basic character designs in the 2nd movie they got us to feel for them and introduces us to the reasons they became magical girls or reveals a plot twist that just makes us want to cry along with the character. so in that sense i give them an 8

for enjoyment THIS IS IMPORTANT it is completely relative and very conditional yes i gave it a ten because i have seen the 1st 2 movies already so i already had an idea of what i was watching
and overall i gave it a 9 because despite the lack of music and the unfamiliarity and uneasy feeling towards the slow beginning i enjoyed it thoroughly

Steins;Gate was recommended to me by a friend who knew i love time travel stuff and everything related to time. so i personally got a lot of enjoyment from this series. anyone who likes complicated time travel and anything of a related sort should most definitely watch this.
now i will reveal the reasoning behind each rating i gave it.

story- 8: mainly because it got really complicated at some moments. while its true i kept up with it most of it towards the end i started to overload and my brain stopped putting pieces together and i missed a lot of important stuff.

art-8: the art was ... always really important because it always seemed to play a role in some way in the plots advancement so obviously they had to make it good and they delivered

sound-7:i loved the music of this series the happy OSTs, the sad BGMs and everything in between its just a lot of the time it wasn't extremely audible and if it was that's because nobody was talking

characters-9: at first i gave it a solid 10 i loved all the characters but i downed it to 9 for one reason for characters like daru and mayuri (more so for daru) we didn't get to see a lot of their past with okari. i really wish they could have expanded on Daru's story

enjoyment-10:i mainly gave that one a personal rating but lets be honest chances are if you're watching this series you were either referred to it or were interested in things like this, so i hope its safe to assume you are here on purpose

conclusion: overall- 9: with the exception of a few character story gaps, and quite music (which probably wont bother most people),and a slightly complicated story; this story has ran up my list to the top 10 sitting at 6 place
i loved every aspect of it.
i hold it in high regards and definitely recommend you watch it.
