It feels pretty weird reviewing JoJo after only 12 episodes, but here we go.
Story: 9
Similarly to previous parts, we got a fight with enemy stand user every 1-2 episodes. Although previous parts started off kinda slow, part 6 really jumped to the gun in just the first few episodes, which was honestly a breath of fresh air.
Animation/Art: 8
The harshest part of this season. I still think it looked good for something with such complicated characters designs, but after we got the absolutely beautiful looking part 5, Stone Ocean feels kinda bland in comparison. However, there are some moments of sakuga animation here
...
and there, and color palette changes were used as in previous parts, so if you're willing to look past weird looking faces and CGI in a few scenes, it shouldn't hinder your enjoyment in the slightest.
Also, the opening is probably one of the prettiest looking one I've ever seen. Kudos to them, for bringing CGI openings back.
Sound:10
Yuugo Kanno, who did soundtrack for previous parts (3-5), hasn't disappointed in this one too. Just in 12 episodes, we've already got a few top tier OSTs.
As for the Stand sound design, it was as beautiful as always. All these creative and distorted sound effects that wouldn't work in other series, seem to perfectly match the nature of Stands in this part.
Characters:10
Finally, we got a female JoJo, and she couldn't have been a better character. Jolyne is like a fusion of the previous main characters, she can be calm and collected like Jotaro, flamboyant like Giorno, or similarly to Joseph, really fun to be around.
Part 6 has probably my favourite set of side characters. Even though we've spent so little time with them, I've already fallen in love with Weather Report, Foo Fighters , and Hermes. It's nice to see Araki finally being able to give female characters an important role in the story.
Pucci, our main villain, is introcuded really early, and I hope this will help flesh out his character much more than in the case of the part 5 villain, Diavolo.
Enjoyment:10
Nothing has changed, it's still good, old JoJo. One of the few anime series, that brings you sheer excitement in every episode, due to its formula. The only things I miss, are JoJo fridays and I pray that we will get them back.
