| Well the title pretty much says it all. Which JJBA part is your favorite? For me it's a tie between part 4 and 6. Both is really great! I am currently reading part 7, so I don't know if my opinion changes later. Mod Edit: Spoiler warning added. |

|
| Only read up to part 5, I'd have to say part 4 is probably my favorite with part 2 a close second. |

| Battle tendency, hell yeah! Joseph's hidden tricks are always amusing to see |

ninjastarforcex said: linear boring story line, with nothing but 1 dimensional main cast and villains of the week you can even compare it with super mario bros but with more bosses and jotaro is shittiest JoJo ever You don't know what one dimensional means then. Which is not surprising coming from you. Main characters can't be one dimensional, since they have most of the screen time and focus. And they don't have only one character trait, or dimension. As their motives, character traits, personality, emotions are explored through the series. They can't be accurately summed up in one trait. For example, Jotaro at face value or first impression can be thought of as a tough stoic character, but the series shows him multiple times, being considerate and caring for the others, at some points laughing and having fun with the group, thus showing more dimensions, and emotions. |

| jotaro = just typical badass mofos joseph = just joke relief old man kakyoin = milf hunter afdol = just another joseph assistant have only 1 goal, no change or growth, just like that for maybe 50+ of weekly villain boring episode. polnareff probably the least shit one compared to the other 4 |

ninjastarforcex said: its true Nope. The very notion that dimension of characters personality is exclusive to change a.k.a character development is dead wrong. Though I don't know why I'm taking you seriously =.= |

He helps the group and knows the most. If he wasn't there, they wouldn't even be on the journey. But of course Joseph says funny things, it's part of his character. But in general I don't really agree with the way you explain the characters. |

ninjastarforcex said: i dont know how any of them have any growth or character development at all. except for polnareff and jotaro in the very end  |

gedata said: If there's anything wrong with the guy, it's how his stand was overpowered That's fair enough. And while I agree, I still find Star Platinum to be the most entertaining stand so far. It's just hype! |

| Part 2 out of the 3 I've watched so far. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| The part where I went into a MAL thread about it and it was spoiled for me. |
| GER solos your favorite verse :) |
 |
| I only watched part 1, 2 & 3. Never read the manga Part 3 is by far the best one out of these three in my opinion. The humor, characters, stand abilities, enemies are all far better than others parts. It has lot of funny characters and funny scenes. Remember the scenes were the old joseph joestar was trying to ride the camel, that made me laugh hard. Part 1 & 2 didn't have anything funny. Aslo, the stand ability is more diverse and better than Hamon. |

ninjastarforcex said: tsudecimo said: So insightful.. its true Why do people insist on stating their opinions as fact? lol In terms of the manga, Part 7 and 4 are my two favorites by far. For me, they stand head an shoulders above the rest. After that, I'd rank Part 3 and 6 tied for third place, then Part 5, then Part 2, then Part 1. I'd say it's too early to really give Part 8 a proper ranking, but if I had to, it would probably be somewhere between 6/3 and 5. In terms of the anime, Part 3 wins by a landslide for me. The Stand abilities, the humor, the fight tactics and Stand power diversity are all interesting and spot on. The art and animation are also leagues better than the 2012 series. I love how the supporting protagonists of Part 3 actively participate in fights and actually win them, which something that does not happen in Part 1 or 2. It makes the supporting staff actually feel useful. Part 1 loses out for me because of Jonathan's unrelatable white knight personality, and while Part 2 is certainly entertaining, almost every single one of Joseph's fights is won by a completely impossible asspull or plain dumb luck. Most of the Part 3 fights are a lot more satisfying because the characters win fights by instead making the most out of their own strengths, rather than luck. Of course, these are all just nitpicks. In reality, I love them all, and I would still pick my lowest rated Jojo part over most anime and manga out there. |

Lindle said: 8 is the most heterosexual JoJo part yet. Fucken tiddies man How is seeing breasts of a human female "straight"? Just seeing a male or female body is not gay or straight. By your logic of "other sex's body = straight", if it were a girl watching it, than having a boobs come on screen would be more "gay" than seeing a dick. There is nothing inherently "gay" or "straight" about a human body. "Gay" or "straight" only comes from the way people/couples interact. I'd say the most "straight" thing about Part 8 is... |
| 1. Diamond is Unbreakable 2. Steel Ball Run 3. Battle Tendency 4. Stone Ocean 5. Stardust Crusaders 6. Vento Aureo 7. Phantom Blood Josuke > Jolyne > Johnny > Joseph > Jotaro > Jonathan > Giorno |

| From what I've readed for now the best (by far!) is Diamond. Gotta love that slice of life with series of unfortunate events and undoubtely best cast in the series. Rohan is just faultless, Koiichi shows us how to make "zero to hero" protag right (except he isn't protag :D ) and Josuke is friggin likeable laid back school guy. Not to mention the best antagonist in the whole series. At the moment I'm reading Steel Ball Run (I'm currently on Catch the Rainbow arc) and this part is flawless too. Interesting setting and storyline and again strong characters with strongly marked personality. It could even dethrone Diamond from my no. 1 spot. As for rest: 4>=7(?)>2>6>3>1>5 |

|
| For me my list would be 4>7>2>5>3=6>1 Main reason I like 4 more than the rest is the characters I loved reading the interactions between Josuke and Okuyasu back when I read the manga. Jojolion is not on the list because I want to give it more time before forming an opinion of it. |

|
| Fine I'll get in on this too. 7>4>6>3>2>1 Not sure where I'd place 5 since it's the only one besides 7 I have never revisited so I don't remember that much. Plus the bad translation would skew my judgement |

| I'm currently reading Steel Ball Run (still 2/3 to go) and has probably the most ambitious story of all the parts yet but I have a feeling it's missing some of the typical Jojo charm. It feels a lot more serious, less wacky regarding the stand powers introduced so far and I've trouble caring for any of the characters even though they get a lot of character development. Those last few chapters have been really exiting though so my opinion still might change afterwards. Part 4-6 were all excellent and stand as the pinnacle of the series so far. I could chose one part over the other, they are all exiting in their own ways. If I had to rank them I'd say : 4 = 5 = 6 > 7 > 2 >> 3 > 1 |

| Parts 2-4 are the pinnacle for me. Best characters, best fights, and best stands (for 3 and 4). It also has my favorite art and character designs in the manga, although part 7 has great art in its own right. I like part 5 a good bit as well, but it doesn't quite have that something special that makes the previous parts so good. Part 6 starts to feel forced in terms of topping itself and being bizarre, it doesn't feel natural anymore and the stands are just so out there they stop being cool. The writing is also at its worst and the best characters don't get nearly enough spotlight. Jolyne saves it from being the worst part overall. Part 7 is cool but I don't really see it as superior just because it's more serious. It lacks the vibe that made 2-4 so great, which overall makes it a bit less enjoyable to me. I also find Johnny really annoying, he is the only Jojo I don't like in any way. 3=4>2>5>7>6>1 |

Just the setting itself is unique. I really can't say much right now since I haven't read Part IV to onwards. But so far Part 3 is great and is my favorite of the 3 parts I've experienced so far, I've seen people complain that it's too tedious, which is understandable I guess. But it's done so well and has that perfect Jojo charm that I really don't care. I can totally understand why it's such an ironic part of the franchise. |
