I like Jojo, a lot. But, as an anime... the best thing Jojo related ever animated, for sure, is Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai.

It's perfect. Great soundtrack, great animation, great VA. But overall, what makes it stand out so much, is its ability to manage to tell short, yet intriguing stories, at such a great pace. It had me at the edge of my seat and left me wanting more.

Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags to the title.

I still find the 1993 OVA to be the greatest piece of Jojo animation. It isn't as flashy and colorful as the modern TV anime, however the fluidity of the cell animation is such a joy to watch. Particularly Jotaro vs Dio. It's a classic.

My favorite part of Jojo is Stardust Crusaders season 2.

Part 3 is my least favorite of them all, but I haven't seen the 1993 OVA yet. I've seen clips on youtube and the animation seems top tier, idk about the voice acting tho...

dio's voice is a bit weird but he sure sounds like a villain, the TV anime VA did a better job but the OVA actor it's not horrible, the background music is not that impactful as the TV one. The fights are great and there is more blood and violence

Random fact: in the English dub of the 1993 OVA, the US senator who DIO abuses is voiced by Charles Martinet, who went on to be the voice of Super Mario.

Fans seems to be split on the Japanese, whereas the English dub is disliked. I don't mind any of the performances, though the English cast was in a dire need of better direction. Their voices were suited to their roles, I think.

My unpopular JOJO opinion is that there's way too much talking in the JoJo TV series by David production. Why is there a narrator? The show doesn't need one.
And even when the guys heads are torn off their bodies they can still speak and form paragraph-long sentences. That's stupid.

Yes, I think the show doesn't necessarily need one, but I prefer it over exposition dumps in the middle of dialog.

Yes, it doesn't make sense but, when did it?

To me, Stardust Crusaders is better than Diamond is Unbreakable at least in manga and I found Vento Aureo and Stone Ocean very underwhelming, way more serious than they needed to be and their finales very very weak and forced, not even properly explained.

I don't even feel like starting Steel Ball Run because of them, even when it's supposed to be the best part, because I read somewhere that at the beginning it's slow and serious as the previous parts, which I didn't like.

When it comes it JJBA as a whole, imo Diamond is Unbreakable is highly overrated. I massively enjoy part 4, but it is the weakest arc for me. Most likely due to the Japanese school setting and the lack of focus within the first half. It gets more entertaining near the end, but I don't get how any Jojo fan can rate part 4 over parts 3, 5, and 6.

Like yeah, I can already hear the attempts at debunk arguments since I'm a seasoned Jojo fuckass and I've read it all. But seriously, part 4 isn't within the top 5 best Jojo arcs.

Part 5 had the best stands up until that arc.

Dunno whether its unpopular or not but diamond is unbreakable is massively underrated overall and also on mal, just easily had the best cast of charcters of the 5 animated parts and the best mix of bizzare, mystery, sol and action and vento aureo is kinda overrated.

I still don't see why people hate or think Stardust crusaders is the weakest one, it walked so that vento aureo or any of the other parts could run.

Battle Tendency is the best part of the ones that have been animated.

Golden Wind isn't as good as everyone says it is. It isn't bad but it is way overhyped.

The dub for Jojo's isn't bad. It's not as good as the Japanese version but still good. Most people hate on the dub because either just how anti-dub the anime community is or just because of the subs memes.

I haven't seen the anime but after seeing the dub version of MUDA MUDA MUDA I have to agree that the dub is actually pretty decent.

I think part 4 is the best season of the TV show, but I couldn't call it "the best Jojo part". The essence of Jojo has remained almost unchanged from the beginning: manly action, manly poses, manly manliness and interesting battles. Part 4, even if it is, indeed, the best season, isn't the one to capture the Jojo essence better. Jonathan set the stage, but the best Jojo, the Jojoest of them all, will forever be Joseph...

my opinion but stands make Jojo less enjoyable as I prefer Hamon.
