Ok, so I watched Part 1 & 2 and loved it and want to see more. Problem is I’ve heard that Part 3s anime has a lot of pacing problems so was wondering is it better to watch the anime or to read the manga?

Both manga and anime are in my opinion really good so it’s whatever you feel like

If u loved part 1 and 2 u will atleast like part 3 imo part 3 is we’re jojo starts to get very good even if the pacing isn’t the best I was never bored and enjoyed it throughout and the pay off is huge the climax of part 3 is incredible even if the pacing isn’t the best 48 episodes is still pretty good for 17 thick volumes

Anime is pretty damn good. I haven’t read the Manga recently so I don’t quite remember how it holds up. The anime is occasionally a tad too fast for my liking but it’s easily overlooked by everything else.

In my personal opinion, go for the manga, I found the pacing a LOT better compared to the anime. If you want to see SC in anime, I recommand you after you read SC to watch the OAV, they are really good

I liked the manga more overall but the 2nd season of the anime is really good so you should probably stick with the anime. It starts off not as strong as the manga but it gets better over time

Well I will recommend both. The art style of the manga is amazing, defenetly worth reading. However I really enjoyed watching part 3, the voice actors are doing incredible work and the animation is also great as always.

The voice actors in the anime version are better than the ones in the manga, so you should just watch it.

i don't think it really matters that much, but you can probably get through the manga faster than watching the anime. It's just what you prefer.

Part 3 is the only JoJo part which I prefer in manga, so I'd say manga.

Just watch ep 1 -5 and skip to ep 25 (battle in egypt arc)

6-24 are basically fillers, which you will enjoy more if you watch it after finishing the series

Part 3 is too long both in anime and in manga, in anime it feels more stretched but easier to watch with studio 's healthy treatment, music, animation and the modern art style updated.

Manga is still great with its amazing art style so it's up to you which one you choose.

Well I am not a fan of this part and probably my least favorite so I can't tell better.

The biggest problem is the pacing. It's like 48 episodes so this part is a drag to get through. it's the villain of the week kinda formula idk if that's your style. If you read the manga you can speed run through the part. that being said there's some great and funny moments in the anime.

Part 1 and 3 are better in manga form for me. The others are all better or just as good.

Anime has more of the “monster of the week” feel which does drag (hell its separated into two parts here on MAL) and is the longest episode wise. I would recommend reading part 3 over watching it because of that “monster of the week” pacing structure but its still worth the watch for the legend “DAN of STEEL” (xD i fucken love localization sometimes man)

I have not read it yet but watched some of the ova and watched the whole part 3 anime. I would say that the Anime has some more goofy elements but stays the right path through. I’m sure both are good. I like when manga is turned into motion though.
