JOJO is an interesting show that has its highs and lows. Immediately you will realize the art and vizuals. The men are very masculine with alot of bulk and there is a variety of colors and quality animations to match. The show offers refreshing change of visuals than what you are used to with anime.
JOJO suffers in weak story and character development. Partly due to the fast pace of the show it moves and provides something going on every episode, there is no filler or wasted episodes. This also hinders the show as every episode is the same with a rinse and repeat forumla. The crew goes to new city/area and meet a new bad guy and they fight, bad guy loses and repeat. As a result you don't have much to look forward to in the long run. At best you ahve two part episodes that provide more depth and intrigue.
Alot of things do not get explained in the show or are provided adequate background details to any lore of the anime. People have these mysterious stand powers with no real reason. The show carries the name of the first series JoJo Bizarre adventure but they really are two completely different shows with only a couple of characters that appear in both making them related in any way.
So this leaves you with an action heavy, plot and character lacking show. Granted the show has bizarre in its name the action provides often loopholes, inconsitencies, and unrealistic tactics. The pace moves so fast you won't have time to dwell on it either. Typical shounen relies on the "your tactic didnt work because I planned ahead with ym tactic". But JOJO takes this to an extreme with anticipated calculated moves that seem to flirt with deus ex machina rather than good writing or battle development.
All in all if you want something more mindless with a twist of humor and fast pace this is the show for you. Despite it's flaws it still is an entertaining show, just know it is labeled bizaree for a reason which says alot when it needs such a moniker in the anime world.
