Stone Ocean is my second favourite out of all the JoJos, falling behind Steel Ball Run. Honestly I kind of wish I hadn't finished as fast as I did so I would be able to enjoy it more.

Story:
The story of this part is on par with Araki's previous JoJos and the story telling is done in a manner which will keep the reader interested and you will want to keep reading. I found myself reading 10-20 chapters when I had promised myself I would only read around 2-3. The stands introduced in this part are fascinating as well as the way they are utilised ... by each user.

Art:
The art for this part is just like his previous work with beautiful attention to detail. The look of each stand is fantastic and they each look unique and fresh.

Character:
The characters in this part are amazingly likeable and hilarious. The JoJo of this part Jolyne is the daughter of part 3's Jotaro and she is my favourite JoJo. Jolyne is probably one of my favourite characters in any manga I've read. Hermes the 'best friend' of Jolyne is hilarious with quite a sad backstory. The other characters such as Weather Report and Annasui don't actually appear until later on in the series but it is quite interesting to watch them interact with one another. The villain of this part Pucci is very powerful (on DIO's level) but has a past which is quite tragic. The fights between Jolyne and Pucci are very fun to read. Jotaro comes back in this part but he obviously is one of the minor characters.
Edit: I forgot to talk about my favourite character FF. She's an amazing character.

Enjoyment:
Stone Ocean is one of the more compelling JoJo stories and is highly enjoyable. The fight scenes between the different stands were fantastic and captivating. I enjoyed this part a lot and it was well great.

Overall: 9/10 Highly recommend this part to any JJBA fans.

I have always loved the subject of time travel ever since I was young. Time travel is also really hard to write about (ask community's dean pelton if you don't believe me). You have to consider all the paradoxes that would be cretaed and think of rules to do with them. That's why I love Doctor Who so much because of the way that it uses time travel while still managing to give really good stories.

The connection you make with Okabe and Makise determines whether you love or hate this tale. These two are the driving force behind Steins;Gate. Admittedly, I found both characters instantly ... likable (some of my favorites of all time) and fell into the emotional spider web that this show weaves afterwards if you decide to love it. If you, like me, manage to fall into this web, then you will cry when they cry, you will hate when they hate and you will find yourself sucked completely into this mystery from start to finish and enjoy every second of it.

This is one of the few shows I have watched that has got an amzing rewatch bonus. Every episode you rewatch you will notice something new. This just shows how much work was out into it as each time you rewatch it you will see something different you may have missed previously. Even things in episode 1 are rewatch bonuses.

If you are the kind of person who gets confused by time travel and paradoxes or you feel the need to have every little thing explained to you I don't recommend this show to you. This show feels as if the writers acknowledge that us the viewers are smart enough to understand what's happening with the plot.

I have given this show a 10 because I truly believe it is the greatest anime I have ever watched and the tear jerkers are basically a 10/10.
