Preliminary (5/26 eps)
I only made it through 5-6 episodes. Pretty generic monster fighting anime where the characters use the tired trope of yelling out which mystical power fighting move they're using before they use it. The characters and story are boring. They fall back on the tropes of destined hero who quickly learns to tap into a mystical power and becomes proficient at it way too quickly. Within a day of learning of its existence Jojo is already using many different Harmon techniques. And the villain has no motivation beyond "I'm evil and I'm going to be evil to everyone." So of course without any sort of real emotion between hero and villain the story has to fall back on "Look at this cool technique!" It could all be replaced with Naruto jutsus and nothing would feel any different.

The setting is a bit novel, and art is decent enough, but it's no where near enough to save this. It's not terrible, but being terrible would almost make it better, because at least it would be campy or ridiculous or something. As it stands, this doesn't stand out from the crowd in any meaningful way.

edit Nov 2019: I tried watching this again and it's hot garbage. Why does anyone like this shit? The characters suck, the writing is wooden, and the story is boring. This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
