This is basically "the previous series", it includes the first and second part which are the first parts that did begin the whole Saga. So you can watch this without problems, and then can pass anytime you want reading the manga or if you want, can watch the new series (Part 3: Stardust Crusaders) that will go on-airing this April.

Oh my god, that anime is fucking perfect. It look like a parody of those comics in the 80's :P

DIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
That's all that is needed to say :)
Dio really is a truly horrible vilain. I've heard about him being the biggest asshole ever and now I understand why. That sneaky punch with the thumb was such a bitch move. Also, poor dog :(

I wonder what part the mask will play. It look like it react to blood.

I think I fangirled when Roundabout started to play. Mother fucking YES.

Just started this show. Very cool and interesting. Definitely stands out from all the mainstream stuff. I hate Dio though.

Just started watching this as well (The DmonHiro release of it), in preparation for Stardust Crusaders.
I haven't read or watched anything JoJo before, so this is my first exposure to it.
The pacing was perhaps a bit faster than I would have liked, but this served as a nice introduction to the series, for sure.

Also, I was super surprised when Roundabout began playing over the credits. It's probably my favorite Yes song, so that's pretty awesome that they got it for this series. Really excited to watch more of this! :D

This was a wonderfully camp and over the top first episode. I loved to hate Dio. What a delicious scumbag!

No show that uses Yes music as its ED can be bad. Will watch for sure!

I just watched the first episode of this. (first time watching any JoJo show actually)

Right now I'm not sure what to think about it except that Dio is the most infuriating prick I've ever laid eyes on. I knew the second he punched the dog that he was a goner.

Hopefully I'll find more reasons to want to keep watching beyond hating Dio's guts, right now I'm kinda on the fence.

My favourite part was when JoJo headbutted him. I thought the father was stupid though when he caught them, how was Dio any more defenceless? They both have fists even if he didn't see the knife.

The ending leaves it at a point where you want to see the next episode, not to see what happens, but for the enjoyment.

Oh, and poor dog. I instantly dislike Dio for hurting the dog.

Well dam, Dio seems to be the biggest douchebag in anime history. At least Jojo was able to beat the crap out of him though if his father didn't interrupt the fight Dio would've probably stabbed him to death. That dude's a bag full of crazy.

Liking the animation and the series looks interesting so far. Only thing that seemed a bit weird were all the time skips but I guess this episode is just supposed to be a prologue to the main story.

Watching this on sort of a whim,since this looks interesting/unique and is generally hyped/considered good.

Honestly don't know what I'm getting into seeing as all I've heard about this series it's manly men doing men things/GAR as fuck.

Kinda love/hate Dio atm,love him because of his charisma and Takehito's voice but hate how he treats Jojo,yet love their rivalry at the same time (pretty conflicting XD).

Otherwise this episode was very good,strong start.This show might actually surprise me.

So what if Dio the fag had her first kiss? as if that matters lol. And how come he got away with that? that's fucking sexual harrassment right there man also he fucken slapped her ffs. At least report that fucking bastard to the cops or something.

Jojo's dad has a fucking loose screw in his head or he's just blind. First of all how did he come to the conclusion that Jojo was attacking a defenseless Dio? like what the fucking fuck? they're both bloody! that's as clear as the fucking sun during daytime! surely an exchange of blows happened! also @19:37 he saw Dio holding a knife!He can't miss that! if anyone is defenseless here that'd be Jojo! his fucking legitimate and blood-related son! fuck you Jojo's father. you're lucky you're not my dad.

Anyway I can only assume that Jojo will bring retribution to that fucking Dio soon because that can be the only reason why people gave this a high average score.

Actually, I think that there was a line in the manga where Jojo's dad punished Dio too, solely because Dio was being a wuss and wasn't defending himself....

I just finished episode 1. First, Dio Brando really DESERVES to die. I hope he will suffer before he dies too. I didn't like Jojo all that much at first but now i'm already starting to like him. The episode was great, i hope the other episodes will be great too ! The main difference between Jojo and Dio is that Jojo is becoming a man and Dio is a little f4ggot. ( I don't mean that in an homophobic way at all, to me f4ggot means little bitch, not the insult to gays. )

Dio's an ass. I don't really care what kind of sob story he has from his childhood, but nothing he says can warrant this kind of behaviour. I really do hope that the two of them don't end up having a Goku-Vegeta relationship. Jojo needs to kick Dio's ass. Hard.

I'm kinda late but well..
After all the hype and recommendations I saw I gave it a try..also the next season ( ? ) starts in april so I'll try to rush through the 3 seasons.

Well..I know literally nothing about Jojo.
So for me the first episode wasn't anything special.
It showed that Dio would do anything to destroy JoJo..guess I like that :D
Humor didn't get me for now but it's only the first episode.
