I haven't read part 7 yet, so I have to go with 4. Great cast, great villain, fun situations, great stands. I think the only thing that really brought it down was the crap translation I read at the during the second half.

I really love part 6. I loved the stands, the fights, and especially the characters; Jolyne and FF won me over in a heartbeat. I also love the very lofty plans of the main villain.

Steel Ball Run! I got many favorites characters in that part. The story is very interesting and the stands are very different from the previous parts. Fingernail gun,yeah!

Steel Ball Run was my favorite. Some of the enemies didn't pop out of nowhere unlike part 3 and 5. I also liked how it didn't have a 5 man crew. It was only Johnny and Gyro fighting the villains. The best part was that most of the stands aren't humanoids. I liked how most of the stands are tools, so its mainly the user doing the fighting not the stands.

Where the fuck is Battle Tendency? That's my favorite part followed by Part 3 even though it's still fresh for me having only seen the OVA I got alot to look forward to in this one. Part 5 would've surpassed part 3 and I was ready for it to do so but the end with a certain great character reintroduced as a cripple only to be killed off immediately brought it down for me. I've never thought of dropping Jojo but that was one time I felt like dropping it, after that I didn't care for the rest of the part, I just wanted the shit to end. Part 7 isn't at all as impressive as people say. Too much randomness, I don't feel the characters at all even if I'm only halfway, you'd think I'd enjoy it more but I don't. It's full of missed opportunities and overlooking of great characters who got introduced in the beginning.

The guy forget to put the part 1 and 2. Part 4 is the best for me. Jojolion is very great. He will take the second place for me at the end, I'm sure of it.

Steel Ball Run doesn't feel repetitive like the parts before it, best cast of characters and their respective backgrounds are better implemented than the previous Jojo parts since they tie into each character's motivations splendidly and the art is simply beautiful.

Diamond is Unbreakable is amazing too with its great stands, best villain in the series, good cast of characters, the whole slice of life approach is really interesting and it fits with the concept of the story taking place in one town and its intentional lack of direction.

So yeah, these two have my vote for the best parts so far.

Some people, learn to read, I said I didn't include p1 and 2 because we're discussing things to look forward to, and those were released.

So what I get is that P4 and 6 are the most well received, and most stands except 6's are mostly doing most of the fighting, but the 'detective feel' of p4 sounds interesting, is it like a neo noire arc?

I dunno but my favorite is probably Part 6, even though it would be a tie with 2.

Jojolion is way too damn weird and surreal for me to comprehend right now.

Meh, all part 1 characters were one of the most bland, boring characters except for the first english zombie knight (torkus?), the part was pretty much cliche fests without the cool over the top shit of Battle Tendency.

In the west, yes, they are the most popular parts.


However, in Japan, Part 3 and Part 5 are the most popular parts of Jojo's.


Also, Part four of Jojo's bizarre adventure is very similar to Persona 4.

What's all this about P4 and 6 being the most liked in the west? I've always thought it was 4 and 7. Though I've recently started Stone Ocean and it is pretty solid so far. Cool setting and I dig Jolyne.

It is for the most part 7 and to a lesser extent 4 as far as I'm concerned. Stone Ocean was great aswell but some of the major supporting cast were somewhat forgettable as characters, to some atleast.

Stardust Crusaders was Araki at the height of his game IMO.

The art was fantastic, the stand battles (past the first couple of volumes) were ingeniously written while at the same time easy to follow and not convoluted by overly complex powers, the humor was side-splittingly hilarious, the protagonists were all likeable, and the men were still manly rather than thin and effeminate.

Parts 2 and 4 are really close for me, but Part 3 I think has the most of the best strengths going for it.

Don't think so. Araki was at his best for Diamond is Unbreakable. This is the part where the characters are the most accomplished. There just has to see all the one-shot came out after the part 4.

Ah, yeah, I was wondering if maybe the 2012 anime had something to do with the results. The poll being done during the anime would almost definitely influence the results. Perhaps it was done while part 1 was still airing? It's tough to imagine Joseph losing out to Jonathan.

Would have thought Jotaro would be higher as well.

Jonathan is good character for fighting game. Not really, Jojo was know by everyone in Japan. The manga is already in part 8. This was a rank for the tournement with the IA.

Plot doesn't even matter with Jojo to me all that much. Araki is not as equally a master storyteller as he is a master fight choreographer. I'd even go so far as to say that "the plot" is the weakest aspect of Araki's works, although I know that just saying that is bound to get some knee-jerk angry reactions from other Jojo fans.

I don't think that has anything to do with it, if that were the case, Josuke and Kira would be about the middle and Giorno and Jotaro would be quite higher. And it would be odd for William Anthonio Zeppeli to be in second last place above only Akira.

That's a poll for best character as a part of the game, Jonathan is an extremely versatile playset as opposed to someone like Gappy whom is in the bottom 10 despite being the current protagonist.

No surprises in the bottom 7 though.

Oh, and as for that ASB poll:

Jonathan is the most Ryu and Ken-like character in ASB (with a fireball/DP/tatsu-type special move combination), so of course he was going to end up being the most popularly played character. He's the easiest character for newcomers to pick up, play, and immediately know what they're doing.

My official ranking:
4>7>6>5>2>3>1

Most enjoyable: Part 4. Great villain, imaginative stands (even if they didn't all work) and overall just very entertaining.
Best art: Part 7. Don't think anyone will contest that mid to late SBR is just gorgeous to look at. Story is well written too.
Favourite story: Part 6. Jolyne is easily my favourite JoJo. The conflict between her and her allies and the main villain is completely compelling, with the highlight being between Weather Report and Pucci.

Jotaro is quite a jerk in the early chapters. I like him a bit better as Part 3 goes on, though.

He never becomes as interesting as Joseph in Part 2, but at least he becomes more of a quiet and determined Clint Eastwood-y type, once he's away from berating his own mother.

Well I think he isn't as quirky as Joesph and not as likable as Jonathan so I can't really get on board with his character. I can relate well to the stern silent personality but in a show about being ridiculous it kinda kills the mood.

I think another thing (I mentioned it before I think) is that the supporting cast isn't as strong, even with Joesph there. I really hope that guy you all told me about lives up to Speedwagon or at least Stroheim. Those two were hilarious as hell!

Part 4 and 7 take the cake for me.

If you really enjoy mystery/action/suspense thrillers you'll really like Part 4. It reminded me a TON of Persona 4 in terms of setting, characters, and stands(like being the personas). It's where I thought Araki went really hit his drive with making set piece fights, and incredibly interesting stands.

Part 7 is just as good as everyone says it is. It feels like a complete story not restrained to being in a weekly magazine. Also I'm a big history nerd, so having a part take place in the wild west made it much more enjoyable with the atmosphere. Like when it got to meeting Mountain Tim my inner fanboy was screaming.
