I don't watch much anime, but many of my friends love JoJo's

Its a nonsensical mess that I find extremely fun. The first Jojo isn't the best, but the pay off is super worth it if you end up liking the show.

Don't bother with the anime. The manga is better.

If you like it, then you'll like the series.

>>151202567
I typically skip the openings in anime, so unfortunately that doesn't help much. I like the art style though.

>>151202135
Is there a coherent plot, or does each episode do its own thing?

>>151202619
Theres a coherent plot

There's one guy who can tell who is lying by tasting their sweat.

>>151202076
>>>/adv/

>>151202619
The first two Jojo's have more or less a consistant plot, while later parts are a monster of the week formula with an overarching plot in the background. You'll never get confused about what the plot is, but you might be like "what happened to the plot."
On the subject of the openings I also generally skip them, but there are some reeeaaaally good ones in Jojo.

>>151202076
Don't fall for the meme.

Not to mention the gimmick OP changes in the last two series

Just watch it for yourself and get your own opinion. However I'll warn you, each part is it's own separate story with it's own feel.

>And how is it for a non-anime watcher?

My mum really enjoyed the dub. She even added Bloody Stream to her spotify

>>151203075
Thank you for reminding me. Should I go for the dub or the sub?

>>151202076

Jojo's first two arcs are pretty friendly, since they're part of the 80's profusion of Big Guy Punch Club manga, but with VAMPIRES and FABULOUS PILLAR MEN horror themes applied, and take place in England and the USA, Mexico, and Italy, primarily.

Even part 3 is pretty friendly, though the format kind of changes, and stands are very ANIME, and the MC is Japanese.

>>151202076
I also want to note that if you are a stickler for details or consistancy you will have a problem with the series, it puts having fights or situations be tense and having strange logic be the solution above keeping powers grounded or consistant. And outside of having fun discussions about powers dont think to hard about why X didn't do Y to defeat Z.

>>151203164

I hear the dub is decent. It changes all the musical reference names, for the most part, though. Which is sad.

Depending on the sub you get you can retain that. But look for sub groups that specifically retain names.

>>151203164
Thats up to your preference mostly, I haven't heard bad things about the dub, but I haven't watched it either so I cant say anything to its quality. Having the names of characters changed due to copyright issues kinda sucks tho. They change them in the subtitles, but all the characters say the names in english anyway so its not really fooling anyone.

>>151203206
Musical reference names?

>>151203199
I like details. Do you have a good recommendation for someone who likes details and consistency? I love reading lore for games.

>>151202076
If you don't like anime you'll probably find it weird and will be turned off by it's absurdity

>>151202076
Things you should know about JoJo
>Parts after 2 become more episodic, by part 5 it's not the type of episodic where you can skip
Chapters
> The Whole series changes alot, nothing really stays constant for more than a part,besides stands
> Memes, if you look the series up expect memes
>Also, this show is violent as fuck

>>151203164
>>151203206
It's decent overall. All the characters change between seasons, so there isn't the problem of adjusting to a new voice actor when you run out of dubs and start watching it in Japanese.
The dub so far is only parts 1 and 2, and the only musical reference I remember being changed is Santana to San Viento. Once they start dubbing part 3 though, there'll be a lot more changes.

The accents that they put on are enjoyable, but pretty silly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svqegGYB6ac

>>151203343
Everyone in the show is named after a famous band or musician for the most part, and from part 3 onwards most of the Stands (sources of powers) are named after songs.

Log Horizon is a pretty neat show for world building. I cant really think of any off the top of my head right now tho, I've been mostly watching slice of life shows that I had missed over the past couple of years.

Coherent plot, spanning over generations of a family. That's what got me into it. Also, it is bizarre. That is to be expected. But that keeps it very interesting, in my opinion.

Use Some-Stuffs BluRay torrents. The blu rays fix some of the shit animation and uncensor the gore and Some-Stuffs fixes the names that are censored by HorribleSubs.

Since this seems to be a jojo thread, what exactly is jojolion? Is it a spinoff? Unofficial fan work?

Kill yourself, jojofag

>>151204116

Part 7 and 8 take place in a DIFFERENT WORLD.

The characters might have the same names, and in rare instances, have similar stands, but they are DIFFERENT STORIES.

Jojolion is very much though a sort of REBUILD OF JOJO story that plays on your expectations having read previous Jojo stories, though. I think you actually miss out if you read that before having read parts 1-6 quite a bit, ESPECIALLY PART 4, since you won't be able to tell when Araki is trolling you.

>>151202076
Dumb, gay version of Dragonball Z. Dont watch it or it will make you gay.

>>151204124
>>151204004
Yes this. There really is no other way to watch jojo other than this. They sub the Blu Rays. And the Blu Rays fix some of the atrocious animation and uncensor the violence and smoking. And the names are changed in the west do to copyright issues but this group restores their names to their original forms. I would also say read the manga, but there are no good translations, with maybe the exceptions of Part 7 and 8.

>>151204116
Parts 7-8 are reboots of the series

>>151204116
The universe resets several times after Part 6. Part 7 and Part 8 are in a new universe but it's very much canon.

>>151204280
>>151204116
If I remember correctly Rohan and Giorno survive the reset. Rohan even has his own spinoff series by the same author.

>Giorno has survived due to his Stand Gold Experience Requiem nullifying the effects, Rohan survives by being too preoccupied with his manga to realize Made In Heaven was activated.

>>151204317
They do in Jorge Joestar, but it's a load of nonsense and wasn't written by Araki

> Along the way, they eventually reach space, and call upon the thirty-six Kars for assistance. Universe-J Kars uses a chance encounter with Yoshikage Kira to obtain the use of Killer Queen by convincing it over to his side. Then, using Bites the Dust, Universe-J Kars not only completely resets the world, forcing it to become Universe-J again, but also obtains Made in Heaven Requiem in the process.

There are 8 parts of JoJo. Parts 1-4 are currently animated. Parts 1 and 2 were combined into a single season. Then Part 3 was split in 2 seasons. Part 4 is one season but the blu rays arent out/subbed
yet.

>>151204944
They just split part 3 in half for some reason

>>151204955
The best thing you can do is fuck up those thread. These fucking autists are ruining the name of jojo and destroying /a/.

>>151205066
Oh cool. More to look forward to.

>>151205087
I think the reason is that Part 3 is generally considered the most iconic Jojo part, so it got the most attention.

>>151202076
I recommend you stay away from jojo threads though. See >>151191646 as an example.

>>151204986
holy fucking, shit you fucking autist, go back to the general.

so this is the true power of jojo generals.........I bet you love that tripfag Doc.

>>151205152
My lord. Does JoJo turn people autistic? What is it about JoJo that draws in autists? What have I gotten myself in for?

>>151205294
There's always an autistic part to every fanbase to be honest, this probably includes all your favorite things

>>151205294
Just stay away from the "fandom" and you'll be safe.

The quality of it varies. Good example is Diamond is Unbreakable vs Stardust Crusaders. Diamond is awful and uninspired monster of the week drivel. Stardust had better characterization, plot and jokes.

If you aren't far enough to be currently watching, I would suggest not starting. As a series, Jojo only goes downhill after the first half and the fanbase is banned from /a/ so that kind of tells you the kind of degenerates it attracts.

>>151206000
Hmm. All right. I'll just continue with Hunter x Hunter.

make sure you take notes of very important memes like when jotaro goes ora ora ora ora! and dio goes muda muda muda!

or when joseph goes, next you'll say ____!

also josuke getting really mad about people talking about his hair, thats also a veyr important meme you should remember

and yare yare daze meme and im gonna fix that spaghetti! hah, those are pretty good too dont forget

>>151207314
You know, Jojo isn't just about memes.Sometimes The Writing in the show is good,Sometimes. I mean I could name an Example from each part

It's garbage.

Honestly I really liked part 1, I don't know why everyone says its so mediocre. Jonathan is the best JoJo but they're all pretty good, Jonathan just had a hard life though he deserves praise
