The first series is definitely worth a watch. Good characters and plotlines and a decent pace. Stardust Crusaders part 1 and 2 are.... extremely overrated. You can watch the first two episodes of Stardust Crusaders and then skip straight to last 4 episodes where the cast encounters the main villain and you won't have missed a thing. Now the fight scenes vary from eh to holy shit good. So if you just want a decent action show, give it a whirl. |

The show is glorious, but you have to throw logic out the window and I mean far. Most people like Jojo anyway though so I think it's worth a try, plus lots of dank memes come from the show lol |
I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it |

it's over the top out of nothing. hard to take seriously but oftenly take it self seriously. i am very conflicted about this series. this obviously not for everyone, but entertaining enough for me i guess... |

Do it, parts 1 and 2 are great and while part 3 does drag on its still worth the watch. Quick warning though because JoJo past part 3 changes in tone and art style considerably and becomes less of a generic shounen as a result. If you're in it for the muscle you're going to be disappointed. Just don't skip parts or tell anyone you are anime only on any forums and you'll be fine. |

The connection between each part is very thin and is always explained in the beginning of each part anyway. Each part is self contained for the most part. |

This is quite debatable as the stand variety goes up a notch in Part 5 where the moves can be seen as pure asspulls at times. There is no significant leap in the stand abilities into DiU nor does it require a complete viewing of part 3 stands. Remember it only introduces the initial concept which is further expanded upon later down the timeline which gets tricky even for me to explain. @tsudecimo True you can skip the parts which mainly comes down to the individual's choosing but going from Japan already to Dio is just retarded in itself. That's just hindering enjoyment and is not only synonymous with this series. |

Yeah go for it. My favorite one is Part 1 and Stadust Part 1 (yeah, tie) and i am not overall all that happy with Diamond right now but its definitely worth a watch, of course starting with Part 1. |

geez why did you guys encourage them to skim part 3. i know it's mostly motw bullshit but it's worth all the way to DIO. plus you'll miss all the jojo moments if you skip straight to dio smh |

Do you think knowing the names and origins of some characters justifies reading a whole part that barely has any relevance? Gio's origin is literally explained at the beginning of part 5. Much like Josuke's and Jotaro reason for being in Morioh. Story is not a good reason not to skip a part. It's very hard to be confused by the story in Jojo. There is no clear continuity between parts and every part is self contained. The plot of every part is literally formed at the beginning of it, and it barely connects to other parts if ever. You don't need to watch a whole part just to understand some little callbacks to them that aren't significant. Because they can be skipped without losing much. Each part has it's own flare of style and tone. It's because of people that share you mentality that I kept watching part 1 and part 2, and I disliked them, almost quit on the whole franchise. I particularly remember still not being finished with part 2, and then Stardust crusaders aired and I watched the first episode and I literally enjoyed that one episode than the entirety of part 1 and 2, and I wish I never bothered with them. Then while part 3 was airing during the filler like repetitive fights before they reached Egypt, I started reading part 4 and finished it and I absolutely loved it. I don't get what this notion of ''you have to invest in the whole series'' or ''if you don't like this part you won't like the other parts'' come from. They are inaccurate, and very misguiding. I mean everybody is free to experience it however they want but it's very dishonest to say to someone you will be confused if you skip parts, that's simply not true. |

Yup, part 6 barely connects with previous parts. You're really funny. And that statement about not being confused is pure bullshit and pretty laughable. Also, yes, knowing an origin of a character that is not from a given part is pretty important. Why even bothering with reading/watching an entire part, that's too much, right? You can simply watch/read last episode/chapter of a part that, somehow, got your attention. |

Clearly jojo is a very story driven franchise with inseparable parts. It's super duper important to read all of part 3 just to know that Dio fucked some random woman and gave birth to a child, so important they only mentioned it in a page at the beginning of part 5. Believe whatever you want. Watching/reading anime/manga is not supposed to be a chore, so to each his own. |

The best way to watch JJBA is to, gasp, start at the first episode of the first arc, and watch it in order the entire way. It's a good series, there's no need to skip anything. Also, on getting your friend to watch with you, why don't you two just try out the first episode together? It's pretty intense, and sets a good mood of things to come. Part One is only 9 episodes, and generally considered the worst part (But still very good and worth watching! Worst JoJo means still better then 90% of other shows), so you can easily watch that and see what you think. |

Well are you really going to derive someone of the joy of seeing returning characters that were built up by chapters/episodes of development? As an avid JoJo fan, I freak the fuck out every time I see a returning character like Polnareff in part 5 or Dio in Pucci's flashbacks. Sure, its not necessary to enjoy the show but to get the full experience it is recommended. I can imagine someone reviewing JoJo who skipped parts 2 and 3 and is watching Diamond Is Unbreakable. "Who is this Joseph guy and why does everyone like him? He's an extremely underdeveloped character that was thrown to the side. 3/10 for characters." |

Derive someone of joy? the context for this in the first place is when someone is struggling with a part and is not feeling it. Like this guy who didn't enjoy some parts. All I'm saying is story wise you don't have to watch/read every part completely to understand the later parts. Whether someone doesn't get the full experience is something else. I really like the franchise, doesn't mean I have to like every single thing about it, because I definitely don't. Completing part 2 didn't do anything to enhance my experience, and I recommend skipping the filler fights in Stardust crusaders ( 4 cours was a huge mistake) |

What's that? Sounds like something you hear in an out of touch tween pop song. Seriously gross, lame, the worst. Watch something you think you'll enjoy; it eases the experience, you won't feel like you're getting your wisdom teeth pulled, or mopping a bathroom, believe it or not. |

Hum ! You should watch it ! Don't care about what episodes are useful to watch or not, they are all part of the show, and miss some of them on purpose isn't respectful of Jojo's Kimyou Na Bouken. To my mind, I immediately have a good feeling, and most of the episodes made me laugh out of loud. So, I recommend you to watch it properly, in your bed (summer is the best season) and if you don't like some episodes, stop Jojo for a little time. |

JoJo threads are just absolute cancer these days. They're the new Fate threads honestly. You have the people who have an opinion about something, the people who are trying to get into the series but can't because of the next group of people: the incessant fanboys that shit on you for not watching/reading the series their way. As for the OP, yes the series is worth watching but watch it how YOU want to. If you feel like Part 1 isn't for you, then skip it and move on. I've had multiple friends drop the series entirely before finishing part 1 because it really is the weakest of the whole series. If you don't want to watch the Villain of the Week plotline of part 3 and just watching the first 2 episodes + last 4 episodes, then go ahead and do it. That'll let you get caught up and then you can start watching part 4 weekly. There's no "right" way to view JoJo. |

For me it isn't worth any praise or being watched at all. Why? Well the main character self-righteousness is pathethic and the battles cringeworthy, maybe it's because it's shounen, for little tiny kids. |

JoJo as a series has changed considerably since it's inception. Part 1 and Part 2 which the first season covers do not represent JoJo in 2016. I implore you to check the series past the first 3 parts; JoJo hasn't even been classified as shounen since the switch to Ultra Jump in 2004 and it shows. You're judging the entire series as shounen kiddie fair based on parts that in all fairness, are not what people think of when it comes to JoJo. I'm not trying to say that parts 1 and 2 aren't shounen kiddie fair but they shouldn't dissuade someone from giving the series a go. For example if they don't like parts 1 or 2 they might find part 4 onward more to their liking. If you come into a thread with limited knowledge of the subject of discussion then people are going to point that out, especially when you make blatant generalizations. |

Jojo is either watch/read it or drop it, as bad as it sounds, if it drags on for you and feel like it's not worth keeping up with then just drop it, because it certainly is not for you, if you can enjoy the whole thing like most people do, then congratulations, you did what most people do with the mangas and animes they get into, they check the entire thing from the beginning to end. Now let's try to read My Hero Academia or Death Note from midway point where things get actually interesting, and see how you end up lost, let's not bother with Deku's boring classes and trainings or Kira setting up his name and battle with L.

The only part I can imagine skipping to and getting away with it is part 7 but even then there are plenty of nods to parts 1-6. If they weren't called parts and called arcs you wouldn't get this kind of attitude when it comes to skipping. I tend to see every part as its own arc anyway as they all fit within the larger story. |

BrionacAL said: The only part I can imagine skipping to and getting away with it is part 7 You'd be skipping an entire universe but yeah, it's not too bad, since it's completely not canon for the new one. Also i like how someone pointed out the cancerous sides of the Jojo community, when those skipping parts and encouraging others to do it is also a cancerous side of it, specially in other social pages where stuff from all parts gets posted and those go and ask "what is this? i don't remember this" "where is this from again?" "wait is that really how it happened?", as i said before, Jojo is not for everyone, don't force yourself on something you're not liking/enjoying, if you get past part 1 and keep going with low spectations you'll be fine. There is no right way to read/watch jojo, but there is a wrong one: skipping throught it. |

How is skipping parts cancerous? Jojo is not a continuous story. Skipping around doesn't cause any real harm. What did I lose when I finished part 4 before part 3? Literally nothing. And let's not pretend that the story of the series require much attention for someone to ask ''what is this'' and ''how did that happen''. |

How is it not? you're ignoring works of the author, have some respect and check it out, and how are those people not cancerous whey they make pointless posts asking for stupid stuff they should already know about? i'm not saying you're taking part of it, but a lof of people do end in that side, confused about stuff and having the feel to go asking obvious stuff. If you have no problem then good for you, but don't go encouraging others to skip throught it, again, that's disrespectful for all the work the author had to do. |

Literally nothing. And let's not pretend that the story of the series require much attention for someone to ask ''what is this'' and ''how did that happen''. How is it not? you're ignoring works of the author, have some respect and check it out, and how are those people not cancerous whey they make pointless posts asking for stupid stuff they should already know about? i'm not saying you're taking part of it, but a lof of people do end in that side, confused about stuff and having the feel to go asking obvious stuff. If you have no problem then good for you, but don't go encouraging others to skip throught it, again, that's disrespectful for all the work the author had to do. If you wanna go saying disrespectful and whatnot. Then watching/reading it illegaly online is worse than ''disrespecting''. Like what posts? It's illogical to keep watching/reading something you don't like just for the sake of experiencing the series in it's numerical order. I would encourage it, since someone not liking part 2 or 3, can like part 4, and so forth. |

It's true you can enjoy some parts more than others, hell, i hate Part 5 with a passion, but i still went through it, because i had the hope that it would get better and surprise surprise, it did, yet i know people that hated part 6, even some that hated part 4, but still pulled through. It's also illogical to jump through it just because you're not enjoying a specifil part of it, also that it's not like any of the parts remian entirely the same all the way through, not even part 5 when things heated up when Diavolo appeared, or part 3 when everyone started to fall against Vanilla and Dio. |

I would encourage it, since someone not liking part 2 or 3, can like part 4, and so forth. What I don't understand is why people are so adamant about skipping parts. Part 1 and 2 are the shortest parts and generally considered the weakest but still they can be read in a day if you cared enough. Every part from 1 onward is made better by reading the preceding part. You can do what you want, that's fine but by encouraging people to skip you're potentially making JoJo worse for them as a result. There are definitely instances where events will have little to no impact whereas they would be a big deal if you understood the context. I understand that JoJo is one of those series which has changed quite a lot over time but i'd hate to see people read part 6 before anything else. |

How does being excited about AoT 2 have anything to do with this user's opinion, exactly? Maybe that his opinion is trash-talking about artstyles and when AoT is worse on that aspect, Manga-wise at least, since i recognize the anime is much better done. You compare part 7's artstyle next to AoT and the difference in quality is abysmal, besides that both are monthly released. |

And just because Araki has great technique that doesn't his designs are going to be appreciated by everyone. |

I already said when I'm encouraging people to skip. Only when they are not enjoying it Like this guy who didn't enjoy some parts.. It's not like somebody is new to the whole thing and I just told to him to go straight to part 4, though it could work tbh. There are definitely instances where events will have little to no impact whereas they would be a big deal if you understood the context. Can you mention examples to this? |

Why yes, to show that his opinion on Araki's art is bad, it's wrong, and can't be taken seriously, that's why the comparison was made and i'd do it again. |

There are plenty of examples but to keep it brief I'll just mention a few. The return of Polnareff in part 5, there is a section in part 6 where it goes back to part 3. There is more than just a couple offhand references to earlier parts in part 7, the entire history of Johnny is a warped version of that of Jonathan in part 1 and in the final chapters [THE WORLD] is brought back. Part 7 as a whole really does reward you reading the earlier parts, Stroheim is even brought back for a bit. Alternate universe versions of the Higashikata and Yoshikage households are in part 8 as well as [KILLER QUEEN] The majority of these are little things but they really can make things cooler for those that read earlier parts, especially the references in parts 7 and 8. |
