Woah, it's like the author suddenly gained some IQ points. Really, this is so much better than the original Ousama Game.

--Story--
The plot is basically the same as the original Ousama Game, but replace the modern students with villagers from an isolated village in the year 1977. But here, the execution is so much better. A lot of things aren't happening at once, unlike the original manga. It also explains some stuff you might not have understood. BUT, despite all that, it isn't perfect, sadly. It feels quite unfinished and at some points, rushed (Especially at the ending). Some more explanation could've helped, too.

--Art--
The Art is ... REALLY good, sometimes i just looked at some panels for an unexpected long time. Definitely an upgrade and it was a good decision to actually switch mangakas. But i noticed some panels who were a bit off or awkward because of the art style.

--Characters--
The MC was your typical wimpy hero with a good sense of justice, there wasn't too much Character Development on him. But it was the Supporting Cast who stole the show for me, it was really interesting how the villagers' reacted to the King's Game and how their Characters changed over time. Especially mah gurl Michiko.

--Overall--
Read this if you've already read the Original Ousama Game and have been dodging everything related to it like the plague. But trust me, this one won't disappoint, at least as much as the original. And if you haven't read the original, this is definitely a good read. The only connection it really has to the original is at the ending. I enjoyed it.

7/10

Spoiler-Free Review
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is a (in)famous franchise for its Bizarre and Wacky Story and Characters, the Antagonists are no exception. From a bodybuilder gay vampire in Part 1 to a... Serial Killer that has a Hand Fetish in Part 4... Huh...
ANYWAY, Where i am going with this is that Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's strongest point lies in its Characters and Bizarre Story. Diamond Is Unbreakable or better known as Part 4 is a great example of that. The Heroes of this Part all have their own unique Personalities and Quirks, but some are really underused and have their screen-time only once or twice after ... their own arc. This is the only problem that Part 4 has with its Characters.
The Story isn't really as Bizarre as the other parts, but it's one, If not, The Best in its whole franchise (and this is coming from a Manga Reader). It didn't make much changes from the manga, but it's basically the same. It did cut some conversations and lines, but that's it.
The Openings are as good as ever (but there's no CGI anymore :[) and the OST is a masterpiece, every character theme fits.
The Art is good, but the Animation can get awkward sometimes.
If you haven't even touched Jojo yet, then what are you doing, mate?
I would definitely recommend it to everyone to try it out.
