A lot of people recommended Jojos Bizarre Adventure to me and I was excited to watch it but I have decided to drop it after getting a third of the way through part 3. Next to Akira it is the most disappointing thing I have ever watched Anime related in that it was hyped up so much and was pretty bad imo. I hated pretty much every character in the show and thought it was far more dramatic than it should have been. The only thing I enjoyed about the show was the names being inspired by famous rock acts other than that I don't know why anyone would enjoy it. With all of the posing and dramatics it looked like a bad School play in Anime form to me. I heard Stardust Crusaders was the best part of the series and after getting through several episodes of that I am tapping out. Does anyone else feel like this? Or if you liked it what did you like about it? I have seen people get tattoos of the characters and it hs such a strong fanbase that I was really looking forward to it but man I'm disappointed.

I'd say it's underrated. One of the best battle shounen that we have, but you need to understand what its purpose is and try to accept all the bullshit.
Once you open your heart to the bizarreness, JoJo will be great.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

I understand how its style and characters don't appeal to all, but for me, it was the over-the-top feeling that made it fun.

Also, I definitely agree with part 3 (and Akira), slow pacing and plot holes made it a pain to watch. It wasn't until around a third into part 4 where I really got attached.

I feel you shouldn’t take Jojo too seriously to enjoy it, I really like it for its unique style and power system, also the music and the fights are also very great.

I think you've just didn't like it yourself, that's all. In terms of "overratedness", then if you check out any fanbase of a popular anime series, then you will see people devoted to it, creating a lot of fanmade stuff, posting photos with tattoos based on said series, etc. It's normal.

By the way, I am a JoJo fan myself, but I consider Part 3 anime as one of the worst animated Parts. It almost made me think that perhaps the concept of creative fights having Stands might not be for me. Luckily, Part 4 was several times more entertaining and made me really enjoy Stands; enjoy to the point I cannot imagine new JoJo stuff without them, haha. While I was totally not fond of the anime, I found Part 3 manga as really, really good and way, way superior to its anime adaptation. It's one of my favorite Parts in manga format. Quite bizarre, eh?

Anyway, perhaps you will like another Part way more than others. However, you've mentioned that you are familiar with Parts 1-3 and didn't like them that much, so maybe it'd be the best to just drop the series. No need to waste time on something that doesn't feel fun, even if a lot of people recommend it.

Part 3 is where I dropped it as well, its just so boring. I'm making may way through the manga to get to the later parts tho, as I've heard they're good.

It's a pretty fun series though. But yeah, I would say part 3 is my least favorite.

I don't know who said you that Stardust Crusaders is the best part but it's definitely one of the weakest part in the series.

JoJo is really hard to get into. And I wouldn't really blame anyone who dropped JoJo during Part 3 or even Part 1 (tho it's only 9 eps). Part 4 and later part are JoJo get really good but unfortunately Part 3 seem to be the most popular one. Anyway just move on if you don't enjoy it. Calling a show overrated after only watching its weak part is just kinda stupid.

JoJo is my favorite anime of all-time. But if you don't enjoy JoJo, that's perfectly OK. :)

I can definitely understand what it feels like to have a series hyped up, only to find out that it's (IMO) bad. KONOSUBA, Chainsaw Man, My Dress-Up Darling...
