Synopsis

Years after an ancient evil was salvaged from the depths of the sea, Joutarou Kuujou sits peacefully within a Japanese jail cell. He's committed no crime yet demands he not be released, believing he's been possessed by an evil spirit capable of harming those around him. Concerned for her son, Holy Kuujou asks her father, Joseph Joestar, to convince Joutarou to leave the prison. Joseph informs his grandson that the "evil spirit" is in fact something called a "Stand," the physical manifestation of one's fighting spirit which can adopt a variety of deadly forms. After a fiery brawl with Joseph's friend Muhammad Avdol, Joutarou is forced out of his cell and begins learning how to control the power of his Stand.

However, when a Stand awakens within Holy and threatens to consume her in 50 days, Joutarou, his grandfather, and their allies must seek out and destroy the immortal vampire responsible for her condition. They must travel halfway across the world to Cairo, Egypt and along the way, do battle with ferocious Stand users set on thwarting them. If Joutarou and his allies fail in their mission, humanity is destined for a grim fate.

Thus ends the first part of the third part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures with Jotaro Kujo. The things I loved were the length of the story and the non-stop excitement.

Jotaro's character, or JoJo, in this part possesses qualities that Jonathan and Joseph didn't possess. However, Joseph remains a legend in my eyes and the first to break the curse of the Joestar family.

I enjoyed the new characters: Polnareff, Kakuin, and Mohammed Abdul.
A wonderful part and an excellent part as a whole. The story in this part is very enjoyable.

The new power system: the Stand or Spiritual Power to the Stands Camet is great, ...

Mixed Feelings
Short Review:
SDC just isn't as interesting as other parts of the series; it can actually be quite a bore sometimes unlike any other part in the franchise. I believe this is for two reasons: First, Jotaro is one of the least interesting and personable Jojos and he also is succeeding one of the best characters in the entire franchise, Joseph. Second, the arcs and villains leading up to the ending are just not that interesting. Maybe only a couple of the villains that the heroes fight along the way to Dio are memorable at all, and only superficially. Third, the rest of the supporting cast ...

Either this show isn't for me, or the battle shounen genre as a whole isn't for me.

I didn't really like the first two parts of Jojo, but oh my god, was this one a drag. The animation is serviceable, though the OP is one of the best of all time without a doubt. Music is okay I guess. Everything else was not great.

Never before has a series exhausted be so much by being so boring. Every episode. Fight. Every episode. Jotaro aura farms. Every episode. Only Polnareff is allowed to experience emotions. The characters are allergic to hanging out with each other besides ...
