What is so good about jojo?

Did you not see what happened to your first thread?

You just ignored all the replies anyway until the thread was locked and now you do it all over again?

Please, the bait is being too obvious.

Rather than making a what is "objectively" good about it, I'm just going to write down my personal experience:

Jojo reminded me what I loved about anime, to have fun, not to say it doesn't have any good characters or a well-structured plot (maybe the latter is preachy cause we know how Jojo is structured), I mean, I have my 2nd favorite male character in Jojo, but it's a fun show that can't be replicated, a sole existence that you can't find in others except the western comic that copied it. It's bizarre, but down-to-earth weird, it's surrealist style isn't too outlandish, but it isn't mundane. It's creativity and raw fun is unmatched by anything I've had. And I felt the love of Araki, the mangaka, while he makes Jojo. It feels like it's his own playground, I felt himself in Jojo. I saw him grow while making Jojo, he tries his best to fix his errors and makes new ones along the way. After a while, he made Steel Ball Run, his growth making Jojo is visible. It was like, watching/reading through Jojo was Araki's Bildungsroman, his own growth. He made mistakes, he learned and most of all, I can see his love for the work. The experimentations, the way he presented arcs through songs, his bets, since killing off characters and making a new cast isn't easy.

Before Jojo, I was just a guy watching through seasonals, like a store clerk doing his daily routine watching over the job. Jojo revived my love for anime when I was eventually burning out from seasonals. It's creative dumb fun, but that eventually became more than what it is. Whatever goes through Araki's mind became something, somehow weirder. Somethings taken from reality somehow made it bizarre. The suspension of disbelief sometimes is reminds you that how the fuck did you come up with this, Araki? Cause he did. It feels like he does this because he loves it, rather being a job. Like somehow transferring from shounen jump to ultra jump. It's like his editors are other control instead of the other way around. Toriyama's editor milked DB, Togashi & Miura has no editor, and Araki was like "Fuck it, we are throwing everything down the sink and make a new universe, cause I said so" and that's like that, Part 7 happened.

idk if this is bait or not but I'll answer anyway

jojo is very unique.
VERY, especially in the way it's characters behave and react. I personnaly thought the 1rst part was"ok", most people agree, it's the worst part -BUT- it's not bad, nor mediocre and it only lasts for 12 little episodes!

once you get to the 2nd part, the 13th episode if I remember correctly, you'll see it's gotten way better because the author had way more freedom, the characters are more memorable, the overall fell of the anime is better starting the 2nd part.

also the "power system" is pretty fucking great. it takes a lot of time unfold, it takes until the 3rd part, so the 27th episode or 1st episode of stardust crusader to realy become diversified and interesting, before that it's ok, the fights are pretty interesting though also in 1rst part.

also unlike in many others shonen, the fights REALY depend on strategy, and not on whoever will get super sayan super ultra instinct final form kamehameha first... and the fight never stop to be interesting, even in the first part, though it REALY is better later.
