| ayaya. This finale was sure a missed opportunity in my honest opinion. I was absolutely in love with Doppio/Diavolo's character ever since his fight against the iron dude. He became so interesting and everything went well up until the point where he "fought" with Polnareff. God damn did they waste Polnareff as a character here. He could have had such a big impact in the climax since he's a fan favorite character. The way he was re-introduced to the story didn't feel forced so everything was laid out nicely. But nah he just gets killed in a second and that is where shit went down hill for me. Silver Chariot going Berserk was the first lame thing. I didn't enjoy the shift in focus from Diavolo to Silver Chariot's Requiem at all. It destroyed the momentum. The second lame thing was the Soul swapping. Really? Had to do some research because I wasn't sure if this was filler or not. It completely ruined the flow of the climax for me. Every character that had established characteristics that we were able to empathize with got swapped to another character which took the seriousness and the tension away. They kept the appearance of Diavolo hidden for such a long time, so I felt excitement when I finally caught sight of his amazing character design when he faced off against Polnareff. But like I mentioned before the Soul swapping fucked everything so hard that I no longer felt any excitement while glancing at his epic character design There's also this other issue that a friend reminded me of.. 3 Time-Stand users in a row? First Dio then Kira and now Diavolo? Wasn't the best thought out stand ever to be honest. Other issues I had were pretty much all of Narancia's fights, boring stand boring personality boring encounters. Unlucky. The wasted potential of Fugo. Really? I expected him to come back sometime but no he never came back. Guess the Mangaka realized his Stand was too op and he didn't know how to write fights around Fugo so he just removed a cool character from the story. Giorno didn't feel like a main character to me, not saying he was a bad one, he definitely developed and improved over time but he felt more like another member in the crew to me instead of the main protagonist. Disliked Trish with passion. Ugly character design, boring stand, no use in the story besides serving as a plot device to progress the plot. Critics aside, this season had by far the best soundtrack for me and the coolest character designs, especially in the proportion and shading part. Also this had more story and less villain of the week than any other jojo part so far so that is a plus for me. Also Golden Wind's Requiem was badass. Although I kind of had hoped that Diavolo would have died in the sewer from the attack of the junkies, that would have been epic. But the way it turned out wasn't so bad either I guess. 7/10, might rank it down to 6 honestly because of the above mentioned reasons. I didn't meet my expectations. Part 5 was the reason I started watching JoJo so I'm disappointed to say that this is not even close to being my favorite part. Part 4 > Part 3 > Part 5 > Part 2 > Part 1 |

Bless you. I wrote my little "review" as a comment here and scrolled through some comments after and you had super similar thoughts. Glad to know that I wasn't the only one |
shayed__ said: He was originally gonna be traitor and eventually fought Bruno gang but mangaka made Fugo left over being a traitor due to issues with a real life friend there is even an interview about that, if you wants to know what happens to Fugo read purple haze feedback, it's pretty good. The wasted potential of Fugo. Really? I expected him to come back sometime but no he never came back. and final arc was a race to get arrow, this is probably the only part which had this type of final arc, time stand has always been a thing so him having that is not surprising. |

Avenger-senpai said: The origin of Stands was pretty lame. I'd rather it have just been a natural thing and the origin of the arrows to have been Black Sabbath rather than a freaking space virus. Speaking of odd, Requiem Chariot's ability came completely out of nowhere. Chariot was a close range, sword fighting stand so why the hell did it get a soul swapping / transforming / evolving (whatever the hell it was lol) ability for its Requiem version? Golden Experience Requiem had an ability that was similar to its original power, it was basically like an advanced version of making a person's consciousness go berserk so I'm not sure why Chariot was changed completely. The Requiem stands seem really OP and it seems like the series will be going through another powerup phase. As Hamon became obsolete in the face of Stands, so will they in the face of Requiem Stands. Not sure how to feel about that since the battles might end up being pretty bullshit due to OP Requiems. That’s not where Stands come from, it’s just where the Arrows come from. Golden Experiences Requiem’s power is to negate cause and effect. Infinite death is a secondary ability. Requiem’s never come back. |

lordberic2000 said: Terrible ending for a bad show, even by its standards. Makes the series even worse than it already was. Then why did you watch this far? |
| |
| I'm obviously super late to the show in giving my thoughts on this series as a whole, but never late than never, I guess. Years before Vento Aureo began, a coworker of mine (his name was Jimmy) told me that the part was pretty bad in comparison the other parts, particularly 3 and 4. And it is with great pleasure that I say that that Jimmy was completely full of shit. This was awesome. While I'm not sure I that I agree with the general MAL userbase giving Vento Aureo a better score than DIU, I still believe this to have been an all around fantastic adaptation. My only real complaint comes from the main Jojo being a bit worse than previous Jojo's (I'd put Giorno above Jonathan but below Jotaro, Josuke, and Joseph). Besides that, we got some of the most creative fights from all the entire franchise thus far, and I'm really excited to see best girl Jolyne get the justice she deserves. 9/10. David Productions does it again. |
| And thus ends a wonderful journey. Holy shit was the Part 5 adaptation so much better than I expected. I wasn't sure they'd be able to cram everything into these last two episodes, but they did such a good job. |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| It has finally ended! What a amazing ride these past 10 months. The funny thing is that I actually started reading Part 5 Manga around Summer and finished it on August as well(probably the same day as today!!). I always compare this to a bullet express train. The fights never stop. Even though some of it are just weekly enemies. It has the most active fights among all parts. They have their breaks when eating, but even then they are still being attacked by Assassins across Italy. Part 5 was always been my favorite, but I think Part 6 will be just for Jolyne. Such a fitting story and I'm glad they did animated Giorno being a Capo alongside Polnareff and Mista. Just wish we saw a more adult Trish at the end, but I'm sure she is being protected by the Giorno's gang now. Now the wait for Part 6 starts. And of course, I already plan on reading it after the Anime adaptation. Same thing happened when I finished Part 4 Anime and went ahead and read Part 5 Manga. Truly an amazing run!! Can't wait for Part 6 DP!! You guys rock!!!! I can't wait for BD's!! I really want to see some of the censored scenes, uncensored :) |

| Amazing season, glad to see Giorno become "the Godfather", his three friends from beyond would have been proud Still wonder what Jotaro and Koichi were up to while all this was happening, still glad to see Polnareff soul is sticking around for a while |
 |
| I actually liked the Rolling Stone part. the only part I didnt like in the whole anime is...whatever the stand of Giorno have become. its just meh. |
Gytanzo said: Jimmy wasnt full of shit, the reason part 5 had a bad rep was cause the only translation that exsisted of it was god awful and sucked all, and I mean all, a personality from the series and characters. Heres a good example especially the one on the top right which is just night and day.And it is with great pleasure that I say that that Jimmy was completely full of shit. |

While this almost certainly played a factor in his opinion on Part 5, if I remember correctly he just fundamentally didn't enjoy the manga. Complaints such as Giorno is a bad Joestar (which, I mean, he is admittedly the least interesting Joestar since Jonathan) and the dumb stuff like wanting to be a GangStar (it basically revolves around Giorno being stupid). Last time we talked about the anime though he did say it was better. |
Gytanzo said: Well like i said, the characters were stripped of all personality. I meant to actually bring up giorno specifically gets it the worst and he's actually the character brought up most getting butchered. Like there's a reason giorno before the new translation and anime was the least liked protagonist even below johnathan, its cause if you only spoke English you never got to experience who the fuck he even was until like 2015 when the better translations were coming out.JizzyHitler said: Jimmy wasnt full of shit, the reason part 5 had a bad rep was cause the only translation that exsisted of it was god awful and sucked all, and I mean all, a personality from the series and characters.

Like I really cant stress just how much it actually made part 5 unenjoyable, fights like man in the mirror were impossible to understand, every fight giorno was in felt like he just suddenly won without any thought, and most infamously but kind of ok cause of the memes was king crimson, which really isnt a hard ability to grasp, became the infamous it just works stand cause the explanation for it was so fucking backwards in the original translation I dont think anyone would hold it against you for just being lost. |

| What a ride! This was my first season of JoJo's to watch weekly as it airs (until the finale which I put off for a bit), and I've grown rather fond of all these characters. I feel the same way after seeing the end of a show I've grown up with, experiencing this journey along with Giorno and the gang, I will miss them all! 10 out of 10, would watch again! |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| Quite the ending I must say! I wasn't expecting various points of this season. But it still somewhat kept true to the original JoJo which was great! The pacing of the JoJo franchise was always one of the better points and just like with this season that did not change. So I must say all in all a verry impressive season! |
 |
| The season ended at 37th episode but those two episodes told how Buccellati's soul has gone. Good grief... Can't tell how I loved this season and totally awaiting season 6 |
| But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. |
| So that's what that backstory is for. Damn. And what's with the opening showing Giorno transforming into a Dio knockoff? I mean the two have clear similarities but what does it all mean? Edit: I've only just checked Giorno's character description here so now I know why the similarities with Dio. Shouldn't that shit be spoiler tagged? 8 |
 |
| As someone who is not the biggest fan of shounen shows and wasn't that much impressed with this franchise and has binge all parts recently I can easily say that this is my fav part(part 4 is close second) I enjoy part 5 cast alot more and I know this is unpopular opinion but for some reason I didn't enjoy any part that much as compare to this one probably becuz I was tired of monster of the week formula in part 3 whereas in this part all the gang members introduced at the same time instead of meeting them one by one and all members had creative stands(love Bruno's, Giorno's,Mista's stand alot) becuz of that all fights were pretty creative which makes me engage in every ep and there was no other JoJo there with Giorno so it was kind of refreshing to me Overall I think this is the polished version of part 3 and I love the setting in this part |
 |
| So I guess Jotaro never got a sample of Giorno's skin at the end? Guess Kouichi went to Italy for nothing... |
 |
| This last episode is kinda out of place imo. |

| Holy shit it was fabulous, part 5 is truly a masterpiece I don't have the words |
 |
| The prophecy is true... Damn good to see polnareff ROFL the damn dude just won't pass over... The darnest thing ever. He shall forever to the legendary ghost man. Trish and Mista ship? pls god pls. And damn Giorna looking like a don at the end, Epic asf. Love this show. Looking forward to the next seasons eek |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Nice ending and the last story was pretty sweet sum up. Now wait for part 6. |
| Finally completed part 5 While i liked it overall its story and its characters, the final boss fight and the reveal of the boss has been a huge letdown. Thats why ill give this part all in all a 8 at its score For me still part 4 tops it all with friggin kira yoshikage who allevated what a main villain is supposed to be and yes diavolo definitely not falls into the sapce of an exceptional and brilliant villain. peace ikm out. ps RIP my favs narancia and abbachio. |

| Despite the rather limp-wristed plot development and hit-or-miss characters, the clever construction of fights kept me entertained throughout most of its run (aside from the insane injuries the characters sometimes shrugged off), despite their tendency to overstay their welcome. So it's a bit of a shame that the way everything ended sort of put a damper on the goodwill I had for this show. The very final scene was at least well done, pretty cool actually. I don't regret watching this, but it wasn't as great as I would've hoped for. Parts 2 and 4 are still my personal favorites for now. But I'm hoping the later parts continue to improve on the action, as that was definitely the highlight of Part 5. |

| This is definitely my favorite Part in the series. The music, the visuals, the characters, the fights... etc all of it was superior to the previous parts. Mista and Buccellati are easily some of the best characters in all of Jojo, up there with Joseph, Dio and Rohan. The only meh thing about this Part is the final fight/villain. It just didn't live up to the hype, Kira is still the overall best Villain in Jojo. I gotta say tho Part 5 had the best side villains in the series (Risotto, Cioccolata, Secco, Ghiaccio, Prosciutto, Pesci) were such dope characters. also Sex Pistols is the GOAT stand, don't @ me. |

| I felt the ending was good, but lame final boss fight. As far as Fuga goes, that coward is just not a good thing for the group. He could've easily taken care of alot of stand users given his ability. However, he decided to wimp out. This makes his words about admiring Buccairati and Giorno extremely hollow. I really wish they'd have ended it the way they did with Diamond is Unbreakable where each one's lives are shown to go along. I also wanted to see a Jotaro and Giovana meeting and a Jotaro and Polnareff meeting. As for Polnareff, I feel really upset that he got killed off and is now living as a ghost. In the end, Giorno became what he wanted with only Mista by his side. Truly, a somber yet happy ending. |
 |
| Wow what a way to end the finale.... Araki sensei banzai!! But one thing that i don't like is, where the fuck is Fugo??? I thought he was gonna coming in to do something versus diavolo... |
 |
| Ending wasn't too bad even though it was pretty clunky and fast paced in comparison with slow tiresome season full of talking during actual combat. Resolving of fights were awful and amateurish, It was like I watched another season of My Hero Academy. Art style is a total crap and I couldn't adapt to it till very end. Music is pretty forgettable, it's just about a pair of interesting tracks and that's it. In terms of anime in the whole Jojo part 5 isn't a total garbage but still in comparison with previous parts which built high standards for a series it feels like a spin-off. Just look at author cheap tricks - he used important characters from parts 3 and 4 in the very beginning (it's like a famous actor on a movie cover even though he appears there for 5 minutes only) and in the very end. Giovanni was an awful MC, he was so bland and second-tier, it was so easy to start to think that actual MC is Bucciarati. What was the point for Giovanni of being of son of the legendary Dio? Oh, why freaking "rolling stone" made faces of Bucciarati, Diavolo and Narancia but forgot about Abbacchio and Doppio? Technically Diavolo didn't even die since it's like a karmic series of deaths (which could end at some point). And Fugo just disappeared. This season was full of holes and used plot-armor too much. |

| Another awesome jojo part ends. The journey was great, but the final confrontation is a little underwhelming. I expected more from Diavolo. I wish we got to see more from Risotto, also I wish we got to see more mafia/theft world stuff. I was very excited after that beginning and the entrance test, but Polpo was killed too early in my opinion and we didn't see more similar stuff. This part's visuals and animation was consistently good unlike DIU. The two OPs were good, Great Days is still the best Jojo OP though. thank god they changed the ED. 8.5/10 overall for this part. I enjoyed all of the animated Jojo parts but if I had to rank them from best to worst: 1- Part 3: good visuals, great and fun adventure, great final fights (I still prefer the ova version though) and deaths. 2- Part 5: very similar to part 3 but with a weaker final fight. 3- Part 4: good but the story was lacking, Kira is overrated in my opinion. 4- Part 2: Joseph was very fun but honestly there was alot of bullshit in the fights, animation was weak. 5- Part 1: felt very rushed, weak animation, too much over the top. Oh yeah and one final thing: why the hell did they do this to poor Polnareff? I was a bit sad when I saw Joseph's state in part 4, it was a little harsh but in the end the man was 78 and I wasn't expecting to see him after part 3 anyway. When I heard that Polnareff will appear when I was watching this part I was filled with excitement and was hyped to see him doing at least a one good fight, but then he turned out to be on a wheelchair, lost in one episode and now he's forever a turtle? Goddammit Araki. |

| Part 5 was amazing. I loved it. But this ending didn't feel like a good way to end the amazing Jojo series. Though at least Giorno became the new boss... Overall Jojo rating: 10/10. Definitely one of the best anime. I cried many times, laughed many times, and my heart raced many times while watching this masterpiece. My favorite was part 3, and it was so damn fun to watch! Part 5 was very different from the first 3 parts and part 4 since there wasnt even any Joestars in it. Still though, it was more than enjoyable. |
 |
| So the Rolling Stone arc was..... pretty random, but fit I guess. The final boss fight was good, but not Dio or Kira level of good. I feel like I have more questions than I do answers. What happened with Koichi? I felt they really did a disservice to Polnareff character. Killed instantly and then became a turtle. I would've liked to have seen Polnareffs reaction to finding out Giorno is Dio son. While it was still good, I'll probably end up rating it a 7. The animation and flamboyance of the show was still great as usual. |
| Now everything is much clearer! So yeah that was part 5. I'm glad to see Polnareff "alive" :D :( Now, I have to wait for Part 6. |
| dunno didn't really enjoy last episode, seemed a bit out of place for me |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| Such a nice ending. Glad that three of them survived. And damn those last 5 seconds of the serie were badass af. The higher ups kissing Giorno's hand while the other ones are on the look out. This was a great adaptation. The animation was great, better than the previous parts. The soundtrack was phenomenal but I liked part 2 and part 3.2's more. The characters were as good as the previous parts. 9/10 |
