For me this part is everything I enjoy, the unapologetic unseriousness and the bizarre situations that come along with it. The pacing does not drag it is one weird situation to the next and you never feel like the characters are talking their heads off because of how funny the cast is, villains included. The animation is great, I love the art style so much. The choreography for the fights took a little bit of time for me to get used to but I eventually did, there's only a handful of fights that I didn't really enjoy. The storyline isn't very complex because that's not what it's trying to do, it just wants to tell it in the goofiest way possible.
A stand out character for me is part of the main cast in the second half, Joseph. I found him really funny. He's extremely resourceful and his fighting style is really enjoyable to watch. I enjoyed the contrast between him and Jonathan who also is a great character.
I feel like you'll either love it or hate it. I think a lot of people say part 1 is the weakest of all parts, I would have to agree so far as I'm a handful of episodes into Stardust Crusaders (the sequel) and I feel like the series is really settling into itself in the sequel. People say this part isn't mandatory, I would agree but give it a shot before going onto Stardust Crusaders. If you don't like the first half of this season you might find yourself liking the second half better. I enjoyed the first half but the second half is the one I prefer. But if you don't find yourself liking this season at all and you're skipping to Stardust Crusaders, look up what happens in season 1 because it has a lot of things that would be great to know, I think you'll find yourself enjoying the other parts better knowing the origin of everything because that's essentially what the first half of part 1 is.
To conclude, I love this anime.
