This is the worst question anyone can ask.
Yes because the antagonist from part 1 plays a role in all the parts whether it's small or big.
It's like watching a shounen series and skipping the first 50+ eps, you just can't do shit like that.

I initially had this JoJo-feeling again, I'd call this a good sign. I'm hyped, although I'll definitely miss some characters from Season 1 ... Zeppeli-san ;_;

I do NOT understand the Pokemon comparisons. Even Persona would make slightly more sense despite coming later than JoJo.

Literally the only thing they have in common is that the characters have something that fights with them - and this might not even necessarily be something that "fights", nor do those powers even have to resemble any sorts of animals or humanoids.

Since part 3's plot is pretty basic/simplistic, I'd say you don't have to watch the 2012 series to understand what's going on.

Part 1 is the weakest parts of JoJo, but it's still good, I love every parts of JoJo :P

Part 2 is pretty damn good too (because of Joseph), you should watch it :D (Episode 10 -> 26)

Anyway, I find the drawings perfect the way they are, and those shoulders are just a close and faithful reproduction of Araki's old style. DP is faithfully adapting his art and fixing his old mistakes, I honestly think that so far it's a 10/10 adaptation.

Btw, above all, big manly shoulders are sexy as hell and I'm even straight.

You mean the style change, I presume? You should get used to that because Araki's style is changing not only with every part but also as a single part progresses. Look at some scans for the seventh part for example and you'll see how massive these changes are.
The anime is doing a good job by changing the style as it goes on as well.

I think Jotaro is going to grow on some people that seem to be initially receiving the character negatively. He did come off as a massive dick in this first episode, but a lot of it is because he's freaked the fuck out over the emergence of his Stand. He is always rather stoic and blunt, but he does chill out. Also it's hard not to give a nod to how amazing the stuff he pulls off later on is.

Massive dick, yes. But in an amusing way, I think. Also, it's been a little while since I read the manga, but I don't remember Jotaro calling Holly a bitch? Was that just a Crunchyroll thing or did he actually say that. Got to say that was a great way to introduce the protagonist.

Well, the only manga scanlation available called her a "Woman", but searching the web for Japanese slangs and bad words, the most accepted translation for "Ama" is bitch.

So, it's not Chruncyroll that is at fault, it's the original translation that was trying to soften it, or just simply incorrect.

This is very very unlikely to happen. I mean why would they? After adapting the first two parts faithfully I don't think they'd start messing around now. Unless the show gets such bad ratings they have to wrap it up early and therefore have to omit stuff. Although I really can't see this happening.

But that's actually the one I'd expect them to fix; they'll either cut her out or actually extend her story instead of just dropping it like Araki did.

Indeed, if this is a 3-cour I expect them to enlarge her role - maybe even with Araki's help.
I also want to see a certain black priest and a bow & arrow hanging around in the background/on the wall in Dio's hiding place.

Too fast? It took pretty much all of the episode for them to get out of the jail and into the cafe where Joseph explained things. I don't see how that was too fast.

Technically, they gave a lot of information that could have been two episode if they wanted to set an atmosphere and make each scene count and take its time, but that's technically. JoJo's style has so far been all about being "too fast and feeling the rush so it's actually good.

I suppose, I guess I was taking into account what you are saying when I posted. It's true that the characters were speaking fast, but hey this IS Jojo it's to be expected. I think, considering the series, taking two episodes to do the scene setting would have been too slow.
