My views on Vento Aureo were that toward the end (the last third or so), the story began to drag on, the stands got far too ridiculously complicated, and the character designs became distracting and annoying. which I thought was a shame because the first two thirds were GREAT, with an awesome premise, cool characters, and neat stands.
This sentiment also rings true with Stone Ocean.
The Premise is cool as hell: Jolyne Kujo has to escape from a prison infested with stand users? Awesome!
The characters too, were pretty great with some pretty creative stands.
But, yet again the last third (closer to halfway) drags on significantly, where I just wanted it to friggin' end already. they keep introducing new characters with overly complicated stands, then characters whose stand abilities keep changing, stands based off of ridiculous obscure phenomena and urban legends and it goes on and on for friggin' volumes.
and it gets worse and worse and worse as it nears its end. and then it ends, and it's a terrible end.
That's why I give it an overall 4 and 4 for story. because while the first two thirds are so goddamn great and enjoyable to read, the ending is just THAT BAD that it brings the score down significantly.
Yet again, i'm telling you to stop following Jojo after part 4.
