Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

I'm the wild west, when actual hot pants would have been mistaken for underpants.

Perhaps she is a liar, and her pants are always on fire?

We've found the Stand name for the sitting President, I see. D 4 C is more his cabinet; his deeds ain't cheap.

Yeah, I didn't need to see Doppio ripping his throat open to pull out an expanding pair of scissors.

I feel like there's at least 3 different instances where doppio would've died in that fight lol. It's crazy he survived some of those injuries.

And Risotto is one of the most competent jojo villains in history. He would've killed the boss had it not been for those meddling kids!

I'm surprised this one didn't get heavily censored, if this had been Part 3 the whole battle would've been a black screen.

Well, I wasn't prepared for Joubin's horniness this chapter.

That was Diavolo's doing. He threw the scalpels at Bucciarati and made them think they were under attack.

Also the backstory never named Diavolo in the manga.

And so, the heroes actions ensure that they end up saving the dude trying to kill them.

Fitting.

There will be many, many regrets later. No details though.

That fight was really really good but also really really gross. I love villain vs villain fights.

New Jojolion: Jobin being super into his wife's new nose is great. That speech he made is giving me mad final villain vibes though. Tooru sending Yasuho nudes of himself is making me really look forward to when he reveals himself to be an enemy stand user and gets his ass beat. I'm getting the feeling Rai exists because Araki really wanted someone he could brutally maim even without having a healer in the party.

My son has read parts 1-7 of the manga, so he can explain to me anything I might need to know from a part I've missed. But if David Production had just omitted all the overexplaining of stuff any viewer could figure out, they'd have plenty of time for any explanations that are needed.

We just got the first disc of Cowboy Bebop from Netflix, and my son was highly bothered that I watched only episodes 1, 5 and 8. He even tried to trick me into watching episode 2 so I had to take the remote. But with my day job, plus helping my wife with the online aspects of her crafting business, and various volunteer tasks (e.g. laying out the program for the play my kids are acting in), there's no time for watching everything.

Part 3 is probably the best place to start aside from Part 1 (obviously) because it's where Stands are first introduced which is the basis of all future parts. I started with Part 3 myself and I can safely say that it doesn't require you to have watched the first two parts to follow it although the significance of certain characters is lessened by not watching the first two parts.

I wanted to show my roommate Jojo but wasn't sure where to start, and didn't think he'd be all in to start from the beginning, so I picked the Highway Star episodes as an example of how simultaneously odd but fun stand fights can get.

Isn't Part 7 the start of a new continuity? I've heard you could start from there but I'm not sure how true that is. I watched the anime out of order myself (The red-edit of Parts 1 and 2, the first half of Part 3, the entirety of Part 4, the second half of Part 3, and now Part 5 is the order I've done Jojo in. Plus the first 20 or so chapters of Part 6 at one point.) so I don't really have a jumping on point to recommend.

Man that was one Hell of a gambit by the Boss. He really is the motherfucking boss.

Oh man how long till Chocolate-Man gets Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda?

@Chariot

It's true that seven is a beginning of a reset of the series. I'd wager that a person could start reading it and not feel that they're missing much because it is a self contained story in that regard. That being said though knowing the previous story does help give more weight to a lot of things and just how much everything changed.

oof I don't like modern crusaders. It's gotta be the worst ending theme yet. I get what it's going for and it's appropriate, but the song itself is pretty eh.

I keep expecting it to grow on me but nah. Roundabout is still the champ.

I'm curious as to what stone ocean is going to use though. Alice in chains' nutshell or free bird would be nice but they'd break the time period convention the endings have been following.

If I personally had to rank which parts it's best to start with I'd say;

Part One (Obviously the first part is the best one to start with)

Part Three (Introduces Stands and establishes the rules around them. Some knowledge of previous two parts is useful but not required.)

Part Five/Part Seven (Both are relatively self contained and don't require a whole lot of context from other parts to understand. However they assume a familiarity with Stands so a new reader/watcher might be confused.)

Part Four (Ties into previous parts more than Parts Five and Seven and again assumes Stand familiarity.)

Part Two/Part 6 (Both these parts are heavily tied into previous parts so you'll be mightily confused as to what's going on if you start with these two.)

Haven't put Part 8 in there because I haven't read it.

I would say part 8 can be experienced without any of the previous parts but is just decorated with connections that it becomes a completely experience with the context of the rest of the series.

This week's episode was unbearably intense. Metallica is a horrifying stand. The Boss is a horrifying person.

Vento Aureo Stands portrayed by Spongebob.

I guess I just have to assume that the last few are accurate.

It's crazy to think that there's only five Stands left in Part V, but we still have 12 episodes to go.

This one about King Crimson works better than simply 10 seconds later.

Since Jojo tends to jump around in regards to genre, what would a sci-fi Jojo part be like?

While piloting a ship in space, Captain Joel Joestar's ship is hit by an asteroid that looks like a purple haired man in a loincloth.

Man, what Doppio did to his mother is just fucking nightmares

Like holy shit how was that possible
