| I loved how the town looks like. It reminds me of those typical Tim Burton's suburbs. The chara-design style change is weird, but I understand it comes mainly from the manga and the possible will of the animation studio to "smooth" the art evolution. The story might be interested, with this crime mystery. I loved the "power of the week" tour in Stardust Crusaders because it made it different from the previous chapters. It's good to see a change in setting/atmosphere and maybe construction again. On the other hand, the new main character goofiness and schizophrenic (schizoid?) attitude are a bit repulsive for me. At least, we get an outsider's point of view. And the villain's description... pure evil again, really?! The author said Dio was an attempt to embody this idea and he does it again -_- (+ Dio had a motive, greed). I hope another bad guy will make his entry to replace this forgettable serial-killer. Because pure evil is entertaining... at the beginning. Enjoyment: 3/5 Series estimation: 5/10 I should not have wait for the anime adaptation to end to read this chapter of the manga. It would have spared me 18months of hope xD PS: I understand how Stardust Crusader cult is. I hope I will get why this part is considered "the best". (Steel Ball Run settings and characters never got me, but I hope I will stay around until the Jolyne story who seems interesting) |

Because pure evil is entertaining... at the beginning. Hopefully you'll warm up to Josuke as you get to know him better. He's goofy, sure, but he's really a good kid with a big heart, and outside of Jonathan (who even Araki has admitted was a bit "too nice") he's considered the friendliest and kindest JoJo. Also, I don't think you're using the word schizoid/schizophrenic correctly. If you're talking about the gimmick where he's only prompted to get involved after someone makes fun of his hair, they don't really use that too much as the story goes on. Also the serial killer Jotaro was describing as "pure evil" was Angelo? Who??? They already defeated? He's a rock now. So idk where you got the impression that he's the main villain of this arc. I think you'll find the real villain to be a bit more... interesting.... |
| Awww, no CGI opening this time :( |

Great, I saw it like a "slogan" who would stay. I don't need to like the character ( I was never fond of Jotaro and Jonathan), but I prefer not to be annoyed by it. But I know I won't (thanks to you). Schizophrenic was pictural, because it feels like another personality taking over. ^^ tarazipyrope said: Also the serial killer Jotaro was describing as "pure evil" was Angelo? Who???

I suppose (the guy who survived his execution). I didn't know about that because I waited for the anime before getting the manga (whose first release started only mid-2015 in France). And since I don't have a payed account on Crunchyroll (and the other streaming service here has a delay on this show), I wasn't aware of this good news. Thank you. I will "steal" the 2nd today then, want to see what it becomes. |
| I guess it's not too big a deal, but I kind of feel bad about anime only viewers being spoiled as to the outcome of this epic struggle. |

| Not a bad start but im not a fan of the colours and Jotaro's new look |
| Fantastic starting episode. Very engaging. |
 |
That along with the hammy music accompanying it |
| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
| =) Good to be back in the Jojo Franchise again. I think Jotaru will go out with Josuke's mom. xD |
 |
| I see what you did there... |
 |
| What was wrong with the way Josuke is dressed? |

animalia said: What was wrong with the way Josuke is dressed? Too flamboyant to be socially acceptable....for these punks anyway, who just wanted to bully someone. |
| I was hoping the next Jojo was going to be Jotaro's brother, and not start off his adventure only being 16 years old. Colors feel all over the place as well, like we're in some kind of fantasy land park |
MrNTR said: Everyone looks so weird and queer in this series, is that why its called "bizarre adventure?" Seems even the author knew this shit was weird. Anyways, not my kind of show but at least its still better than the harem loser wish-fulfillment light novel crap that's infesting this media. This is the 3rd season of jojo you know? And the characters looks fine, maybe you're not used to this style because you know.. you watched the "harem loser wish fulfillment"crap yourself |

| Much entertainment. So does Josuke decide what objects deform/reform into because is I first I thought touching the turtle made the guys nose look like that of a turtle? If Josuke does control what objects transform into am I right to assume that the guy's nose looks like a turtle's nose because Josuke still had the image of a turtle in his mind because of the healing and just didn't have a clear mind when he punched the guy? What did Jotaro mean when he thought Angelo became a standuser before the execution, I thought one was a standuser from the day one is born? Can koichi see stands? Was that a luckyland milk hat on Angelo at the end? |

| The beginning totally caught me off guard. As an anime only of DiU, I definitely don’t mind being “spoiled” by this original scene, cuz it only added more tension and hypes and I still had no idea what’s actually going on. Thumbs up to DP’s another nice move~ Really surprised that the new JOJO has a stand ability related more to healing rather than destroying. Joseph cheated on Suzzie Q!? For me, it feels out of character just because of plot convenience. JOJO tradition—protagonists are popular among girls. SP vs CD was great! That punch through the hostage girl and the knife in the belly alone deserve a 10/5. |

 |
| Another generation of Jojo and since I've seen a couple of them my standards are pretty high. Let's see how Jousuke does. Don't read the manga but I'm willing to bet that Dio is again somehow behind all this shit. I just know it. |
 |
Maldj said: Decent 1st episode, like others have said I'm not so sure about the art style. I don't like how different Jotaro looks, but maybe that style was in the manga too. Hopefully I'll get used to it because the plot looks like it can shape up to be great The style in the manga started off similar to Stardust Crusaders, slowly changed to how you see it here |
| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
| It's JoJo time again! Pretty damn impressive first episode, a bit different than the usual, or at least it feels that way. But in general a very promising start! Looking froward to see what happens next! |
 |
| I love Jotaro's new design! I'm really liking the feeling of this laid back town. Josuke is also pretty cool. Joseph cheated, oh well. I still love the guy tho. Also Liking how Jotaro has already talked a lot more than the average SC ep. |
| Dont like jotaro's new look but at least it confirmed that his hat is merged with his hair. Also miss the muscled rock hard bods, the slim is still sexy though. |

| Excellent start! The adrenaline levels are already so high! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| This anime is so badass, I like its new characters in part 4. And now I'm pretty sure i will enjoy it. I like the style as well. I hope this will be on same level as part 2. |
| Great start to the series :) Only thing I can't stand (no pun intended) is how despicable the antagonist is. I can already see he's going to be annoying as hell. |
 |
| This is so much to take in, from the new JoJo to the new artstyle. But it only means more JoJo for me ♡ I kinda expected Josuke to be more of a delinquent like Jotaro but it was pretty much the opposite (except when you insult his hair lol). Joseph has been quite naughty since I've last seen him *^* Jotaro being the nephew was quite the complication xD The series is as brutal as ever, a new milf is introduced, and it's been a while since I've seen Star Platinum~ Shining Diamond's power is awesome. The hole he punched into the lady startled me as fast as it disappeared. I can't wait to go through the other episodes ♡ |
 |
| Joseph Star has other boy!!! Othe "Jojo" with a peculiar personality and a Stand too!!! O__O The animation style and the new look of the characters like it!!! |

| I'm so excited watching this part! I love Joutarou's new look! Who would've thought that old man Joseph would have an affair at such an old age xDD and his son is quite the character, I guess the Joestar family blood does run in his veins. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| an illegitimate child? Joseph: OHHHHH MYYYY GOOOODDDDD! lol. |
| Finally started this! I delayed it because I was waiting for the BD's. But now that all of the volumes are out, It's time to finally watch this :) Seeing it uncensored, vibrant colors, and better sound quality. Soo fucking good!! I've actually grown used to Josuke's new voice compared to Watano who did most of his voice throughout the years. I hope Part V won't change the cast. Nice to see Jotaro using time stop ability even half a second. It shows, he still using it after the 10 year battle with Dio. Can't wait for the next one! |
| Animation has dropped a bit, no? Anyways, I'm excited for this. |

| The color pallet feels really weird. The lines look too neat and the colors are like... too sterile. anyway, this one looks like will much more of a thriller and mystery than any other genre. let's see how they handle it. |
 |
| Jotaro seems so different. He's more talkative now and looks less intimidating with this art style. But did his time freeze ability really have to get nerfed... |
| I like the new JoJo and his fabulous hair, also cool that Joutarou is on board too. Great start. |

| Art design changed slightly, okay. The new JoJo is...not so great. But I said the same about Jotaro and he became better thorughout the story so that's fine. A fine introduction episode, nothing more, nothing less. |
| wow the new jojo...well this has been interesting as always...hmmm liking the vibe |
 |
| Jotaro becoming a marine biologist is the funniest thing to me. i actually like him a lot more from this episode rather than the last season. maybe because he's older now? i also like that there's more focus on him being smart oh god it's gonna take a while to get used to the character design, especially the hair. i absolutely hair the delinquent hair, forgot what it's called. don't like the new Jojo at all, and his obsession with the ugly hair is just gonna get annoying also a bit disappointed that Joseph had an affair, i thought he was a loyal type |

| Whut, such genuine person like Joseph could have an affair and an illegitimate child? OHHH MY GOD! :S Josuke seems to be alright. I won't say it the same about Jotaro, who despite being older looks younger than ever. I know it's propably because of a slightly change in artstyle, but it looked awkward at first. Yare yare daze. xD Same do I. Like, it doesn't feel like Joseph that we used to know, I mean I also thought he was a loyal type. Oh well. At least Josuke seems to be alright. More JoJos = more fun. ;D |
| Getting used to this artsyle will take a while. Josuke’s stand is cool. And why did Joseph cheat on his wife? :((((( He was my favourite jojo, but just....no. |
  |
| Good morning. Eggs and toast. Oh shit! Its just a hand. Hold up. Is that... It's Jotaro! Yare yare! April 1999. Koichi bumped into Jotaro's dick. Jotaro is 28 now and a marine biologist. Dat bitch slap. WTF! He threw the tortoise! His name is Higashikata Josuke. Jo and Jo? They're going to call him Jojo now. Astro Boy. A Sutando? Dat gunshot punch. lol at Sazae. WTF! The tortoise and his face got healed? Jotaro walks up to Josuke. Born in 1983. His moms name is Tomoko. 1987 he came down with a fever. On the verge of death for 50 days? His fathers name is... Nani?! Joseph is his father? But how? He's 78 now. Joseph didnt know? Jotaro is his nephew. Suzi Q is pissed. Jotaro telling the bitches to leave. lol Ok start. Not feeling the new artstyle. Can't believe Joseph did that. smh |
