Light spoilers ahead so be advised:
After quite a long break compared to the other parts,Jojo part 5 finally started airing last October,and with it came the hype and memes we all know and love,almost 10 months later it finally ended last sunday and boy was it a ride, however it definitly doesn't live up to all the hype surrounding it and honestly I feel like(don't kill me for this) It's a little bit overrated and here's why:
Story:(8)
Well this is a JoJo so the story is pretty much similar to the other stand parts when it comes to the plot:basically we get introduced to a new
...
JoJo,he then dicovers that this weird ability he's always had is a stand,become friends with a bunch of cool characters,sets off to a journey where he fights mini bosses making up his way to the big boss.Yeah nothing outstanding(pun intended) but JoJo manages to do it so well that we almost don't notice how simple the story is.The plus this series has is that the symbolism with fate is also very well-written; although a bit misplaced in the series,the setting in Italy was also something I appreciated,and the backstory given about the arrow was cool.
Art:(8)
hmm,This is pretty subjective to be honest, I found the art in part 5 unique but not as much as part 4's.The characters are very well designed and none of them felt bland,the background is amazing and I vey much enjoyed the colors used, you really feel like David production gave it their best,however I felt like some action scenes could have been better and there definitly were a few derpy moments, but again I heard that DP are working with a restricted budget so it's understandable.
Sound:(6)
Well let's just say that apart from part 2's ost, I never felt like jojo's soundtrack was catchy or good or nice, I even felt, in this part, that the sound didn't fit in some moments,however some songs were astounding especially the dance scene in the first episodes or the ost "dream" I liked those, but the rest was meh to be frank, I hope they work more on this aspect next part
Character:(9)
For me this is the best aspect of part 5, the characters are all very well-written with amazing backstories,wether it is main characters or side characters, We feel that they all have a strong motive for what they're doing, a part from a few villains of course, the stands(which are pretty much considered characters at this point) I felt were more elaborate this time and we had some really unique abilities which made the main cast beating them more interesting,Like I genuinely wanted to know how they'd beat this or that stand.
Enjoyment: (8)
As I said JoJo never fails to at least be a very good show, it honestly is surprising and astonishing how such a long running series is able to be this consistent,the enjoyment for me in this part is less apparent than some others but it still was enough to make me eagerly wait for friday night, however as someone who likes anime with good music , I felt like that part definetly affetced my enjoyment.
Overall:(8)
To finish this review, I liked this part, the characters are something that JoJo has always proved to be good at and it surely delivered this time, however this could easily have been a 9 if it had music more to my liking and a bit more depth in the story, but not only the anime , just the whole 10 months worth of memes and hype and youtube compilations and reviews... I will surely miss this environment until the next part(shit we only have like 3 parts left,don't we) hopefully they'll animate it,until then
Arrivederci!

These last few months have been quite busy for me,and after i finally found some time to watch this highly spoken about anime,i have to admit that i was pleasantly surprised by it .So old school review,here we go:
STORY(8):
you can read the synopsis to understand the overall premise so i will concentrate on the most important aspects,first don't come into this expecting a fantastically written anime that tackles some highly deep and philosophical themes,it's your usual romcom but with much better execution,an amazing pacing and most importantly,the story never felt heavy,although some parts did feel quite forced and melodramatic,it wasn't enough to impact the flaw
...
of the overall story.
ART(8):
honestly,it fits the general athmosphere of the anime perfectly,well-balanced colors,great animation with very little derpy moments,very pleasant to the eyes,the animators did an amazing job,nothing more to say.
SOUND(6):
One of the things this anime could have done better to be frank,opening and ending seemed very generic and just didn't do it for me,the ost was also not very memorable ans sometimes straight up annoyed me to be honest,im a very big music fan and it is a very capitalizing point for the show but it fortunately was able to make up on some other aspects.
Characters(6):
Ah,the characters,one of the things most people love about this show the most,for me they were just ALRIGHT,nothing more nothing less,I did love Mai,but when it comes to the mc of which i already forgot the name,meh,just meh,i din't really like him and he seemed just like your average light novel mc who's a perverted asshole,the last arc made me hate him even more but i dont want to spoil anything so ill just keep it at that.the imouto is cute but all that character devlopment just to be thrown out of the window at the end,why wtf?
enjoyment(9):
Ah,the subjective part,honestly im probably just biased cause i havent seen a show in quite some time and it just made me skip my judgement on so many aspects,i just turned off my brain and enjoyed the show das it.
overall(8):
Very good show that could have done way better,i defo dont agree with the current mal community score and if i wanted to be more technical the real score for me would be closer to 7.75 but i can only do a natural number so yeah.
would i recommend it?hell yeah.
Would i want another season? HELL YEAH.
Am i particularly excited for it?kind of.
