SUGAR! SPICE! AND EVERYTHING... already done before.

What seemed like a unique story with an interesting world quickly became the standard shonen plot with nothing too original after the first chapters.


The standard shonen plot isn't necessarily bad but with such a unique setup there should've been something done with it, and it doesn't even have a fun standard shonen plot, just a boring one


Can't blame the ending for being bad, it was obviously rushed due to its cancellation. Feel like it could've been a better than what feels like a parody.

...
You might say that this got cancelled before it had its chance to shine, but i think it got its chance and didn't do anything with it.


Wouldn't recommend. reading felt like a waste of time. if you're really interested just follow the artist and author, they both have potential and I'm sure they'll make something good soon.

TL;DR
only watch BAOH if you want an action-packed 80s anime with little focus on story/characters.

BAOH is one of Araki's first ever works and it shows. it's clear that Araki was still getting the hand of writing stories and characters but at the same time, you can tell Araki really knew how to make a good action scene, hell I'd say that some action scenes here are better than some in JoJo given how the action scenes in BAOH are a lot more fast-paced and flashy.

I'd recommend the anime over the manga, the anime does skip some scenes which would be a problem but like I ... said the story isn't really what you should be looking for in this anime.

Despite everything I've said I think BAOH has a good concept, sure the idea of the main character having a parasite that he can't fully control has been done before, but I'd like to see modern Araki try something with that concept, or Araki should let another author try and write a revival/continuation for BAOH, like what he did with Cool Shock Old B.T

I'm late to review this but I got reminded of this story so I thought I'd give my review on it anyway


When this was first announced alongside Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak, I was pretty excited I was excited because I'll always want more JoJo in the world, unfortunately, this spin-off turned out to be officially licensed fanfiction


I'll start off with the main positive: the artwork is pretty good, it goes for a more "cutesy" style and stands out compared to other JoJo media which was probably the point given how this is a spin-off.


Now everything else about this spin-off isn't as good. It tries to ... be a funny non-serious short story but the problem is it's more creepy than funny. The main jokes are all sex jokes relating to Jolyne, which were in the original Stone Ocean but were few and far between. The only joke I can say is funny is Pucci being offended by religious drawings of Jolyne


The idea of JoJo spin-offs being non-story-based comedic short stories sound good and they should be tried again but just not like this.

This is one of the few things I'd recommend starting JoJo fans skip.
