AwokenStroken said: Everytime I see or hear someone talk about JoJo, I only ever see people bring up some meme from it, to the point where I don't even know if people really like it. The ONLY actual praise I've heard for it is the music, but like, if an anime doesn't have good music it's not a real anime, just a fact of life dawg. Like... is it ACTUALLY good or am I just supposed to laugh at how weird it is oooorrrrrr? am i dum Every person that i know who likes JoJo really does believe that its good. But on the other hand i tried watching it and I find it dull, stupid, unfunny, garbage plot in my opinion, terrible characters and so on. I personally wouldn’t recommend it and I advise you to keep away from it because its just a waste of time in my opinion. |

| It is good overall,there are some dull parts at times but generally, it is fun to watch, music is great too.At least check it out I can understand why some people cant like it. |
| The first two parts were kinda meh imo, the good parts start from part 3 but after you finish part 5 and you await the next adaptation like the rest of us, you will see the beauty of the first 2 parts. It didn't come to me at first so I think some might see it that way too |

| It's not a show you watch ironically. It's a divisive show, so you aren't missing anything if you aren't enjoying it as much as others. It's very, VERY flawed, the show relies on you being able to let the bad parts slide because the good parts are really enjoyable, and as a whole the show is a breath of fresh air. Not everyone can do that though, so if you don't like it, it's comforting to know it gets better, however no one would blame you if you just dropped it, or maybe put it on hold for later. Regardless of what your opinion on the show is, your opinion isn't gonna get better if you're forcing yourself to watch it, and trying to behave the same way others do. |

| Animation , battles (both graphic wise and tactic wise), voice acting , characters are great , but story were just okay for me |

| Don't watch JoJo expecting a deep, philosophical plot, since the show's intention is exactly the opposite to that. The show is just pure fun with intelligent writing and strategy-based battles full of bizarreness (hence the title), charismatic and likeable characters and an enjoyable journey with the cast. Even though, the show still manages to subtly touch themes like fighting destiny (especially noticeable in part 5 onwards) and, in later parts, write amazingly realistic characters with incredible development. As you may have noticed, I think it's worth the try XD |
| Part 2, 4 and 5 of the anime are definitely worth it, but the start and part 3 can be a bit of a drag. |
     |
| You can do both. I genuinely, unironically love the show. I think it's one of the most stylish, unique and fun action series we currently have. But at the same time, I still love indulging in the memes, even the memes that criticize the show, because I still agree with a lot of those criticisms. |
| imho, yeah. it's a very unique anime, and i found it very entertaining. there were some bits that were a bit boring at first, but then it picked up and it was actually really good. |
 |
| Personal Favorite Shounen Pros: The most diverse shounen with each part having a different cast, different tone, different story and even sometimes a different genre. The characters are AWESOME and its comedy is by far the best comedy I have ever seen in a shounen anime, especially part 3 straight forward no bullshit fillers Has aged GREATLY considering the manga was published in the late 1980's Memes are great if you can understand them The only anime I know off where the power system as a whole changes Part 4 is the best part Amazing art style and colorization Cons: Part 1 hasn't aged all that greatly, Part 2 is amazing though Some things here weren't explained that greatly Can be slow and dull at times There are things here that aren't explained all that greatly |

| It is overall a really good show and you should watch it atleast one so you understand everything. The music is good but some openings are just not that good and endings are ok. |
 Wanna play 8-ball? |
| The openings are always BANGERs, undoubtedly. From that, for me, it is already GOOD enough. |
 |
| I'll have to admit, I'm a relatively big fan of 80s/90s GAR shonen, I just saw Jojo, and I find it mostly trash. I don't know if the manga is... like that, or if it's just the adaptation, but there are tons of 80s/90s GAR anime wich are either funnier, more interesting, or prettier, or all of this. |
Prophetess of the Golden Era  |
| It's the memes that make it an amazing show to watch |
 IT'S NEVER OGRE |
| Yes it is considered a genuinely good anime. It's just that memes have become such an internal part of the JoJo community everything else kinda gets lost at times. |
 |
| Yes it is unironically good, it's probably one of the most unique anime out there |
| 한 번만 살지만 제대로 하면 한 번이면 충분해요 |
| yeah the problem is the first 2 parts and half of part 3 is just kinda wack |
 |
| Honestly, I'm confused about why you say "unironically"? But anyway: I don't know about you and your personal tastes/preferences but for me, JoJo is an amazing series. I love the art, I love the story, the characters are diverse and unique in their own way- especially in designs and personality, and the powers? So creative and bizarre in the best of ways. Araki created a kind of story I've never seen before- a story that follows descendant after descendant from a character. That's the first I've ever seen that idea, and I'm totally hooked on it. And knowing a lot of JoJo was inspired by Araki's love and fascination with other cultures? Especially music? Amazing. The art is one of its best points though because you can clearly see with each part Araki's art progression. People can complain that Araki's art has "same-face syndrome" but is that stopping all the many fans who are still reading all the new chapters that get released? Absolutely not. Plus, you gotta love all those poses. The fanbase can be crazy, I can admit that as I've been reading JoJo for a long time so I've seen a fair number of things, but you can watch/read JoJo WITHOUT involving yourself with the fanbase. No one says that you HAVE to be involved with them if you enjoy the series- it's not a rule. You can enjoy it all you want just by yourself, it's completely okay. |
| I know the meme culture feels overwhelming, but my answer to the question is that its unironically good. It's one of my favorite series for the story and characters I used to hate it because it looked like some silly show like Pop Team Epic where you laugh at the characters, but that's not what JoJo is about, to answer your question. It's a serious plot-driven story |
 |
| the show is great, part 3 is lame and drags on forever. the memes are cringe, but that's usual when it comes to memes. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! YES! |
| Yes, it is good. Very good. Also: |
| only Steel Ball Run is actually good. |
| I would say it is pretty great. Part 1 was the worst part though even that was great imo. |
 |
| Maybe its ironically, unironically good. |
| Well it's good to say the least. It's just more memeable than other mainstream shonens hence it is memed a lot. |

Nefelupitou said: JoJo is a good battle shounen So, yes... It's good When people say that JoJo is flawed, they're lying. What might be flaw in other anime, is part of JoJo's charm. Someone gets it. JoJos can be enjoyed unironically but try not to take it too seriously and it will be much more enjoyable. The early parts have some growing pains but you'll appreciate them in retrospect. It wacky and weird which rubs some people the wrong way but thats bound to happen with any anime. Its definitely worth giving a shot though. |

| JoJo is my favorite manga/anime. I believe that is a series that's get better with each part (even if I'm not particularly a fan of part 4). I really love the manga and how you can distinctly note Araki's art style improvement through the years. |
 |
| Yeah it’s amazing. It’s a very unique shonen because of its storytelling which is very fun. Amazing art/character design, consistently good opening/ending themes. I’m a fan of Yugo Kanno’s music in the show but season 1 has great music as well. |
 |
| A lot of people like to hate it because of the fanbase, but it is a good show and definitely not like any other tbh. its a whole bizarre experience, and even though the first two were a lot different from the rest of the of parts, you begin to appreciate them after you finish the series and wait for others to be adapted. There are a lot of characters to be attached to, and the battle strategies and villians are interesting |

| I mean it has 8 parts with different plots, characters, and setting. It really just depends. But tbh it’s just a fun anime where they have tons of ridiculous yet big brain situations. It’s supposed to be a BIZARRE adventure. |
| JoJo is like 30+ years old and yet some people still don't "get" it. |
| the ova is ok, decent action. the show has some pretty crazy things, I can understand why people like it. I only watched the ova and part3 final battle and it looked cool. Now I wait for my fav part to be animated, this time I will watch it, I am talking about part 6 |
