| It's fantastic, and I'd argue that it's better than its source material thus far. Love how some anime-exclusive scenes in the most recent episode helped flesh out the dynamic between the core cast. |
Take care of yourself |
| Nah. Even though complaints like "art/animation errors" and "weird pacing in some scenes" may seem trivial for some, I believe an anime needs to have higher standards to be AOTY. Even though Vento Aureo is amazing, better than the source material (debatable but true imo), and has great anime-original bits, you can't say it's perfect. Yuru Camp is still at the top for me. But Karakuri Circus might be a formidable rival. We'll see how it turns out. |
| I do agree. JoJo best anime in 2018 so far I did not even watch 5th episode yet. 4 episodes I watched so far and it is masterpiece. |
| Nah, SAO is the aoty, don't fuck with Jesus-kun. |
 |
| Sora Yori, Violet Evergarden, Attack on Titan, Yuru Camp, Hero Academia all of which plenty of people would argue for (amongst others) against JoJos. Heck, some of the new shows this season have a fighting chance; it's full of potential. This part has had some minor mistakes as noted, it's one of the weaker jojo openings (but still very good), and it's definitely not the best part to have aired thus far (in my opinion). Also keep in mind just in this season alone it is only the 9th most popular, so many of its contenders will likely have a much bigger following even if it may be the best anime this year. Plenty of people will literally only watch the msot popular shows too... Plus you have the two or three of us still watching Gintama (rip) and some of my brethren may pick the "final season" of Gintama. Basically no we can't say that much yet. I'm just happy to see a new jojos. So good. If I had to choose, and it's a tough choice I think, then I'd probably just say "Nice Bird!" and avoid the question entirely. |
| For me, definitely. 2018 has been a pretty stale year for me; glad David Pro made it the other way around |
 |
| Not ready to say that yet, but it looks like it's shaping up that way. It's certainly living up to the hype and then some. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| It's definitely not the most perfect show of 2018, there are better shows in term of storytelling and other stuff. However, it's easily the most "entertaining" show to watch IMO |
| Well this part is almost all action and story driven unlike the last which had a kind of "monster of the week" vibe. |
| It's probably not going to be aoty in crunchyroll but the anime of the year of 2018 will always be Vento Aureo for me. |
 |
| So far, I'm enjoying it a hell of a lot more than Diamond is Unbreakable's beginning episodes. That's for sure. |
H-X-H said: part 5 is weakest part of jojo series?I say Not a bad start for now, but as a manga reader Vento Aoureo easily the weakest part of the whole JoJo series ! Definitely not a god candidate to be AOTY lol are you **** kidding me? Part 5 is my favourite part, it is better than all parts. It is Japan community's favourite jojo part, i dont get it why is it considered as "weakest". Admit that you are wrong you obviously hasnt thought about part 1 and part 6 (if you havent read yet) |
| Do follow-ups to existing shows or ones that bleed into another year even get included as a candidate for AOTY? Well they should because this indeed should win (but let's be real Goblin Slayer or DitFXX are gonna win whether we want them to or not). |
| as much as I want to say yes. you really missed the winter season didnt you? Even if we dont consider Sangatsu no Lion S2 (because only the second cour was aired in winter) we still had A Place Further Than The Universe. And if you think part 5 is better than A Place Further Than The Universe, then you have shit taste. I do love jojo, but its just not nearly as good as it has to to be able to compete for AOTY. And we still have to see Zoku Owari.. |

Ep 11 might be the most emotional episode of anything ever. It all builds up and its not just over in a second, so its really intense. Any Adventure where they are "going to defeat the demon lord" is more SoL, since this one actually delivers a full story in 12 episodes. Vento Aureo is more SoL than A Place Further Than The Universe. Go watch it or you will be forever cursed with maximum shit taste |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| A Place Further Than The Universe was so boring for me. Slow pace, not much happens per episode. Also story is not that interseting. Could have been less boring if it was one movie with faster pace Jojo on other hand is entertaining. Not even a single episode was boring |

Delinqq said: Can we all just agree, that even though we’re 5 espisodes in, this is definitely the best anime to come out this year? But we haven't even gotten to the good part. :P Seriously, while not something I'd call bad, I'd say the really good stuff with Vento Aureo won't pick up until . After that, it's just non-stop high notes. Fortunately, that's probably about five or six episodes from where we are now. |

Delinqq said: Can we all just agree, that even though we’re 5 espisodes in, this is definitely the best anime to come out this year? Very likely yes. After the very strong start so far, it's definitely on track. Absolutely incredible so far. Giorno & Bucciarati are great. turtleinshell said: Sora Yori, Violet Evergarden, Attack on Titan, Yuru Camp, Hero Academia all of which plenty of people would argue for (amongst others) against JoJos. As a big fan of all of MHA, AoT, Violet Evergarden & Jojo I'm most impressed with Vento Aureo. I had my expectations a bit lower because I didn't expect any other part aside from Steel Ball Run(#2 ranked Manga) would compete with Stardust Crusaders for favorite part but now I'm thinking Vento Aureo will be serious competition. I've rated MHA 9, 10 & 9 for seasons 1-3 respectively, VE an 8, plus a 9 for the first 2 seasons of AoT. It's been an incredibly strong year for anime, we even had some brand new/unfamiliar stuff be pretty decent. I've felt like I can try most anything and it'll be at least fairly decent. Tried Megalo Box on a complete whim and liked it, Violet Evergaden, loved it. I've not yet watched Attack on Titan Season 3, I think that will have to be the next thing up. My hype for it faded a little after finding out it was split into 2 parts. Delinqq said: Oh it's not good is it? I'd planned to give it a go. I watched SDS recently and on a whim I figured I might like Goblin Slayer. But I guess it isn't surprising, it really seems like Fall 2018 is all about Jojo.Lmao if someone actually thinks that Goblin Slayer which at best is a 6/10 deserves aoty, need to reevaluate their opinion I'll possibly still try Goblin Slayer but I will lower my expectations, 6/10 sounds like a reasonable expectation. Yeah saying "Goblin Slayer = AOTY" seems like trolling. Even if one does not like Jojo at all there's still My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Violet Evergarden. Plus Seven Deadly Sins, Megalo Box, some good comedy/slice of life stuff and probably others I haven't gotten to yet. I think Goblin Slayer is unlikely to be top 10 given how much great stuff there's been in 2018, this year is unusually good it seems. Hobgoblin2099 said: How exciting! (Though I deleted the spoilered part without looking). It's already a really good part. The mafia theme feels so perfect for Jojo. If the bolded is accurate at all then this is gonna be a lock for personal AotY unless perhaps AoT S3 is massively better than the first 2 seasons.Delinqq said: Can we all just agree, that even though we’re 5 episodes in, this is definitely the best anime to come out this year?

Shoryuuken said: For me I've found every part to be pretty great and I like how they are unique. Part 1 is probably the weakest but still has a lot of positives to it. To me the variety shows that Araki is probably one of the most versatile mangakas who can handle seemingly any combination of setting & themes very well. Even Jojolion which sounds like it's going to be super strange though I don't really know much about it, I will still watch when it gets animated someday. The quality of JJBA(I've seen every part so far) so far lets me just trust it.All parts do their own thing, it's a matter of preference. |

You do know that most persons that will see this post are die hard jo jo fans right? Heck whoever has reach this far in this series is probably hardcore jo jo fans. So I know for a fact you already knew most persons would agree with your post. |
| Out of everything that I've watched this year (which isn't really that much...Darling, Black Clover, My Hero, Gridman, Devilman, and Jojo) it's easily my favorite epyon4light said: Well this part is almost all action and story driven unlike the last which had a kind of "monster of the week" vibe. It's interesting that you say this. My biggest problem with the manga was that it felt too MOTW and each "MOTW"-style battle lasted way too long, but the anime seems to be fixing that so far. I wonder if they'll keep it up for the rest of the season? Die_Leere_Soldat said: are you **** kidding me? Part 5 is my favourite part, it is better than all parts. It is Japan community's favourite jojo part, i dont get it why is it considered as "weakest". Admit that you are wrong you obviously hasnt thought about part 1 and part 6 (if you havent read yet) Just because it's your favorite part doesn't mean it's the best, plenty of people don't like part 5. I thought the manga had awful pacing and not much in the way of story (but as I said earlier in this post, the anime is fixing all of my big problems with it so far). |

Hobgoblin2099 said: True. I did try quite a bit to avoid spoilers. I wanted to begin reading the manga to continue on after watching Part 4 but held off since word was that Vento Aureo's anime announcement was coming up shortly & they were right. I did not read since I wanted to experience it first in the anime. I revisited other favorites during this year again & am also going to watch Part 4's dub(JoJo is one of the rare series where both subbed & dubbed are phenomenal, both have many of the best VAs), when I next revisit these favorites I think it will be via the manga/VNs. I know it because I still have some questions about the stories in Code Geass, Death Note, Steins Gate, etc and they're mostly of the variety where only the manga or VN will have the answer. At that time I will probably read through JoJo parts 1-5 & Berserk(Hopefully Miura can progress with that) then decide on Part 6 if I will wait for the anime or not, this will most likely be sometime after Part 5 completes. At least with Berserk it's an easy decision to go manga only since outside of the original anime & the movies the new stuff is totally awful it seems.Golden-Frieza- said: How exciting! (Though I deleted the spoilered part without looking). It was just the name of the arc, but it's no problem. It's probably better that you don't look. Hopefully Part 5's Dub will be fairly soon, less time afterwards than earlier parts. I think the dub is going to be really popular and that could help build up steam so that Stone Ocean's anime won't have to wait years later to get confirmed. I've only seen spoilers from JoJo memes, but that's pretty much info light enough that it's just a hype booster or teaser. Though I also stopped looking those up for now. |
| Probably aoty - 2018 but I doubt it'll still be the best next year. |
