Are the old JoJo OVAs worth watching as an alternative for Stardust Crusaders?
Let me explain what I mean to sound less retarded.
First things first, I'm not dumb - I'm aware the new SC anime is objectively better than the old OVAs from the technical standpoint and there's no point in comparing the two in that way.
Now that we've got that out of the way, I'll explain why I'm even asking that question in the first place.
So, some time ago I watched the BluRay 2012 series of JoJo and loved it. For now, however, I have literally no way of obtaining the SC BluRays, legally or not, and every streaming site in the universe only has the censored-to-shit TV version, which I'm not going to bother with cause I'm allergic to censorship (and no, the censorship doesn't come close to "not being that bad", in fact it's fucking terrible so just fuck off with that meme).
Since the old OVAs cover the same part of the manga as the new anime series does, are they worth watching as an alternative in my situation?

Torrent. If you can't torrent, find other ways to download.If you can't even manage that, just fuck off.

If I could torrent it I would've done it already. My hard drive's busted though so I can't, that's why I'm in this shitty situation, asking if a 1993 adaptation is worth watching over a much better 2014 adaptation.

The OVA covers the more important fights and does Jotaro vs DIO much better than DP's version of it, so unless you don't wanna read the manga, I think the OVA should be fine

I think my brain melted there a little and lost the power of comprehensive reading, so I have to confirm - are you saying that I should read the manga alongside the OVA or that it's not required and I should be fine? Because I have no intention of reading the manga at all.

Actually, no. If you want the original storyline, read the manga, but as an animation the OVA whoops the anime's ass.

lol

The OVAs aren't as lighthearted as the 2012 series, but it has some incredible animation in the later episodes, especially in the showdown between Jotaro and DIO.
It also adapted the more important sections of part 3, so you won't miss out on a lot story-wise if you go for the OVAs instead.

not the guy youre replying to, but the OVA has more fluid animation than the anime, however it also cuts out a lot, for better or for worse
the anime is accurate, but to the point where things that looked ok on the page become very confusing and strange when translated to animation
like them flying, in the manga it's debatable whether the panel is in mid-air for a cool shot, but the anime translates that to them floating in midair for 40 seconds while someone monologues
tl;dr version yeah just watch the OVA for now, and then catch up with the anime when you get the chance
I'm pretty sure a fair chunk of jojo fans watched the OVA as their first exposure to the series altogether, I know I did

That's all I needed to know. Thanks a lot for clearing that up mate.

Do you really not have $50 to buy a hard drive?

I don't come from a first world country so it's much more expensive than that for me, sadly. It sucks being poor.
