I just finished Golden Wind and my first thoughts were: "That was kinda forgettable". The whole thing just felt so bland, especially coming off the high that was Diamond is Unbreakable. I never cared about any of the main cast of characters and I've eaten unseasoned chicken with more personality than Giorno. Also, him being Dio's son literally never comes into play and was pointless. it wasn't all bad tho, I LOVE the art style, the train and White Ice arcs were steller, and the boss was a solid villain but again, a massive step-down from Diamond is Unbreakable's, Yoshikagi Kira. Probably my second least favorite Part. Ya'll already know what my least favorite one is.

Yeah it was a step down from Kira, but it was a inteiguing part that had cool characters, a cool setting and a fun plot.

I didn’t really enjoy anything past battle tendencies other than the dio arc of stardust

The only thing I was disappointed about is how easy it was, like it felt too easy how Giorno won but I accepted that it probably had to be that way because he was actually that powerful thanks to the arrow, with Kira I also didn’t like how the ambulance was the thing that ended him but then accepted that it was kinda deserved to be killed in an ironic way, but the build ups and personalities of both characters I loved! And Giorno being DIO’s son is the explanation to why he has a stand (Jhonathan’s body).

I still loved it (8.9/10 IMO), but I agree that some of the main cast were bland (basically all of them except Mista) and I REALLY didn't like the ending...

At least it has the best comedy and fights out of any part, IMO, so it's not all underwhelming. Shame the story and characters couldn't be of the same quality, IMO

Although, again, I did still like Golden Wind and I'd probably say it's still better than most non-JoJo anime

Vento Aureo is Great just like Stardust Crusaders. Instead the Side Characters get more development here. The Villain wasn't a Letdown but rather an upgrade. He was one of the most terrifying Villains in Anime he had the best Villain Reveal of all time. The Side Characters Arcs and Character Development were even better than Stardust Crusaders

I also finished part 5 recently and i just loved it, from the cast, which i liked almost every character, including Diavolo, to the soundtrack with the iconic Giorno's theme. I also loved Giorno, easily my 2nd favorite JoJo, losing only to Jotaro, also loved the ending with Giorno becoming the big boss, and the first time i cried seeing JoJo was in this part. Overall i loved this part, my 2nd favorite and now i'm really looking forward to Stone Ocean.

Yeah I enjoyed part 3 and 4 a lot more. It had the same adventure and build up aspect but I think when they start introducing these existential stands you start to lose track of where and why things are happening. It probably doesn’t help either that I watched the other parts when they were already fully released but was watching new episodes of part 5 weekly which might add to why I thought it was forgettable but even still I don’t have much of a desire to rewatch it or remember that many moments from it like I did the others.

I think it's pretty bad, the worse part I've seen at least. phantom blood at least is ironically enjoyable. golden wind has very fun battles, but the characters suck and the overall darker tone is not supported by any sort of thematic meaning. it's just white bread. contrast it with both of the upcoming parts, which are also more serious and a little less rule of cool, but those series have better characters and clear themes they expand on through the rest of the manga. don't feel discouraged, it only gets better from here.

Golden Wind is great, although it probably has the weakest Stand fights out of all the parts currently animated IMO. (Which isn't to say that they were bad, just that Stardust and Diamond's were better.) Prosciutto and Pesci is a stellar fight though (easily one of the best fights in the franchise IMO). Unfortunately the story surrounding the fights is rather weak IMO.

The Boss is definitely an interesting villain, and I absolutely love their Stand, but I feel like they really could have been developed more. They just felt like an infinitely more bland Kira IMO.

Overall, I agree that Golden Wind is one of the weaker parts (it's significantly better than Phantom Blood and pretty much on-par with Battle Tendency, but a lot worse than Stardust Crusaders and Diamond is Unbreakable IMO).

Six Bullets (Sex Pistols) is my favorite Stand though, and Fighting Gold is my favorite song of all time, so that's a positive.

Just because Giorno is mature and doesn't wear tequila dress for comedy doesn't make him a dude with no personality . He can be brave , cruel , charismic , faithful and even cocky at times , people call him boring for being overpowered and oversmart , but in reality he's not OP till the very end and he isn't oversmart coz he jumps into fights without any prep and usually screws up and either has to be saved by friends or use teamwork and improvise , he almost dies in a bunch of fights . IMO Giorno is a good character and he does have a personality . Yeah about the rest of the part it is understandable why many people might not like it , but I guess that's how it was supposed to be like , different from other parts as much as possible .

No people say he has personality because he's a blank slate. He's not funny, he's not charming, he doesn't have any special aspects about his personality, he doesn't have an arc, he's just a really dull protaganist with nothing special about him.

Bruno is just complex
Abbacchio is kinda Edgy and dickhead
Narancia is Childish

I will tell you my honest opinion. I found Part 5 my fav part ngl. I found half of Part 4 quite boring (Eps Before Kira Arc) and even then after Kira was introduced I didn't really find anything epic except the Jotaro n (forgot the name of the character, the one who uses sound effects) vs Kira and the final fight. Yeah but I do agree Giorno being Dio's Son was quite pointless.

I agree that Giorno was by far the most bland character in the entire franchise but I liked the other characters. Part 3's anime is muuuuuuuuch worse in my eyes and part 5 is sort of... a redo almost. A travelling gang of weirdos trying to save someone's life with some family drama thrown in.

I enjoyed the story, the rest of the cast and the final fight, but Giorno being a cardboard cutout vaguely in the shape of Jotaro really does knock it down a few pegs.

I feel like I’m one of the only people who actually loved part 5 it’s my 3rd favorite behind 7 and 2. I just love the art style and all the characters because it feels like everyone plays a role. My only thing with part 5 is that Trish is complete trash and some of the fights feel drawn out like some in part 3

You are serious? It’s the best written part so far. The only downside is the action is kind of dull and the use tactics too much. I also have to admit that they built up the final fight and then it just happened like 10 minutes, also don’t really enjoy the final 2 eps. Put all that a side, the characters are well written, really hate part 3 bc they never let me know the Jo bro story aside from Polnaref, and it was his sister’s story, also the mystery around Diavolo is interesting and worth investing. I did watch the final 20 eps in one day bc how addictive the story was. I really Giorno though, feel like he is a well written strong Dandere character among all the trashy nice MC out there

I really liked this part, but imo it was a major step down from part 4. Josuke is a way more entertaining protagonist than Giorno, side characters in part 4 are better, Kira as a villain is leagues above Diavolo. The mystery around Diavolo was pretty interesting and tbh the only thing that kept me invested in the second half, but after everything clears up and the final battle starts it was just disappointing. A lot of characters were not used to their full potential, Buccalati being an exception.

you hit the nail on the head for me. That final battle also felt like it was trying way to hard to capture the same energy Dio vs Jotaro had at the end of Stardust Crusaders

Part 5 is probably in the middle of the Jojo parts in terms of best.Its better than part 1 in kind of everything,its better than part 3 in terms of pacing of fights and story and has a great cast of characters especially near the end where they feel more like a close family rather than gangster friends.The Main Villain is freaking terrifying as hell ,I dont know why people hate him tbh.But Jojo Part 5 has a weaker jojo but with good cast(hes still good but hes really not that special honestly)while parts 2 and 4 have the best all round cast to me.Also Part 4's cast are simply the best in the series with a hell of a detective story to find the killer in the second half.Part 5's themes and fights are a spectacle but when it comes down to it,its middle of the road for jojo parts So...yeah thats my opinion.
Correction:Diavolo is terrifying but not in the final fight.Cause its just him taunting and not really doing much imo.However Part 5 has the most hype final opening version(that i have to give so much credit to.)

If you think hard you will realize how Giorno has Dio and Jonathan’s personality. When he kills polpo we see that he’s a little bit sociopathic like his dad so he’ll do anything achieve his goals and he has Jonathan’s chivalry. So saying he has no personality is kinda harsh

For me it is the best adapted part. Buccellati is my second favorite non Jojo character losing only to gyro from part 7 and my favorite character of this part. The fights were my favorite till now and I really liked the stands in general(the best stand is easily sexy pistols). I also thought that diavolo was a pretty interesting villain but kind of a step down from kira yoshikage. The only thing that I didn't really like in this part was Giorno( but the theme song is amazing) Overall I really liked this part and I'm looking forward to watching part 6 in December.

Wait until you see jojolion villains,tooru had no backstory,other side of his relationship with yasuho and radio gaga incident, forgettable antagonists(sans Damo and yotsuyu),and they weren't important like Ringo roadagain any longer
