Joseph was alright, he was what carried Part 2. Part of what makes him so good was that he didn't outstay his welcome, if the anime for 2 had been any longer he would've just started feeling obnoxious rather than entertaining. He's mid tier as far as JJBA MCs go, which is still pretty good. I liked him.

In a shallow LN fantasy this retard is the only coherent character. Too bad he's too much of an extreme to avoid being Kirito.

the other girls are great as well and their interactions are funny

In my case, I fucking hate asspulls and unexplainable bullshit Joseph pulled off, but I still love him despite of that. Can't say the same with other MCs and I'm not even a jojotard.

Best male MC of all time coming through.

>>146713568
That's because it's fucking wrong. The whole show functioned by bouncing around and giving us brief bits of Spike being cool, and brief bits of his background, mixed in with focuses on all the other characters and random sidestories. Spike could not have carried that show on his own, not even fucking close.

Araragi really doesn't carry the show at all. He's the type of character that finds himself in situations by chance, and he has very little control over what happens to him.
He also plays second fiddle to the overarching plot at all times, and his reactions to all the weird shit that happens in the show are if anything endearingly unnatural, if not annoyingly unrelateable.
Monogatari is saved by having really interesting background characters that stand out and interact with the plot. Araragi is more or less a vehicle for the viewer to follow the plot.

>>146712489
Part 3 is ber repetitive. Part 4 is so much better

>>146712489
Part 3 tries out a lot of new things, and it sets the table for the parts to come with stands, but the parts to come are a lot more interesting. You should read it because what happens in SC is important for upcoming parts.
Short answer: Yes, it gets much, much better. If you want to get a feel for how good JoJo can get, read Part 7. It's standalone from the stuff that happens in parts 1 through 6, but has a lot of references.

Part 3 is boring as fuck, though better in the manga. Part 4 is way better though the start is kind of slow and it's still airing. 5 and 6 will probably be like Part 2 in that they're better in the anime than they are the manga.

Control has nothing to do with being able to carry a show. The two most important plot points in Monogatari were started because of his decisions. He started shit and received the consequences. That's all there is to that.

Why can't you Fatefags just accept that Shirou is shit? Reading the VN just makes it worse, he's so bad in the Fate route even the other two routes can't make up for it after you taint your mind with that horribly written filth.

He absolutely can't carry Fate Stay Night, Rin would have made for a much better MC.

Your so full of shit and i can tell you are a retarded secondary because you actually say he get's wores as you go though more routes which has never been a fucking argument in any Fate thread because it's not even remotly true.

Even if Saber would have never shown up Shirou would still have had a story where he goes through the process of becoming Archer.
