Series about an Englishman who has to live with a blonde douchebag and is initially bullied by him.

Eventually he has to learn mystical sunlight powered karate after punching a frog to beat up a vampire version of Jack the Ripper with his best friend REO Speedwagon.

And then things get weird.

It's an anthology following a lineage of extraordinary individuals that use a combination of wits, [not magic], [not psychic powers], and luck to outwit various villains with similar abilities. Music references abound. It's a fucking wild ride with a relatively new anime which I think most people would recommend.

the only reason anyone likes it is because it's super gay.
not using that as a pejorative either, all the characters are either flaming gay, or in-the-closet-overly-macho gay.
it dresses all that up with classic rock references.
if that sounds like your bag you may like it, just be prepared for everything to be really really gay.

You're so fucking wrong.

I like Jojo because not a single comics writer, be it East or West, can do the 'thoroughly fucked character finds a way out through mystery novel like logic' as good as him.

Only in my wildest dreams I could write something as convoluted yet good as the final Yoshikage Kira showdown.

The only thing remotely gay about it is the art. The central theme of the series is Family Man who creates life vs Ambiguous Bisexual Weirdo who parasites off of everyone in like 7 different ways. The main villian of every part is a parasite in some way, and every protagonist is a decedent of the first antagonist.
>>
>>92174976
>Convoluted and good

Anon, he gets killed by an ambulance
>>
>>92175364
the art isn't remotely gay, it's extremely gay
isn't there a male character who has a heart-shaped hole in his top to show off his man-cleavage? Isn't there a group of villains who wear nothing other that loin-cloths? Isn't every male character drawn like a fist of the north star yaoi porno?

not trying to say you shouldn't like it, but the gayness isn't subtext, it's way over the top.
>>
>>92175364
Jojo is the gayest anime/manga i've seen. The only thing it's lacking is actual gay sex.
>>
>>92175666
The pillar men were asleep for 2000 years, they get to be dressed in loincloths. Cars also had that sweet hat and jacket. Aside from that, hearts just seem to be a symbol Araki likes and he's creative with the clothes of his characters. The style could definitely be considered homoerotic.

>>92175896
Only a few of the villians (such as DIO) are presented with gay vibes, and that's to make them seem creepier and more inhuman. Everyone else is just pretty and there's nothing wrong with that.

>>92175666
The artist is a sixty year old Japanese man with a wife and kids who didn't know what a fujoshit was. His influences are probably gay as fuck, but that's glam rock for ya.
The ultraviolence and the emphasis on "cool" makes me lean towards the gayness being unintentional.
>>
>>92176308
Glam rock and fashion magazines. Half his covers are just him finding an ancient ass fashion art spread from the 20's and then redrawing it with muscledudes.

>>92175666

That's not gay subtext. It's hetero men not being insecure about their masculinity. We all know it's always the tough military / gym dudes who are closeted homos.
>>
Do people really thing these are legit references or is just a meme?
>>
>>92176308
Only moment in the series that I think was actually kind of gay was the part where Ponareff and Abdul pissed down that breathing tube to beat an assassin, but I'm 805 sure that was just funny and I'm too low test for the joke. The way Araki writes characters, and with the emphasis he puts on normal camaraderie and the importance of family, it would feel really out of place for him to be putting actual gay undertones in most of it.
>>
>>92175192
like it or not I'm envious of anyone western that was aware of jojo back then
>>
>>92176561
It's a meme.
>>
>>92176561
70% meme, 30% actual references
Honestly, the thing is JoJo has been going on for so long and has done so many things that it's easy to find similarities with other things

I mean, I'm sure some of them are on purpose (like Gumball. At least twice.)
>>
>>92176461
>User able to grab a stand

Immersion broken.
>>
>>92176617
I think the joke for that one was how out of character it was for Abdul, who had been a stoic before.
But yeah, Araki emphasizes camaraderie and friendship. People just read too much into it. A lot of it reminds me of an article some /v/irgin wrote for Kotaku about how uncomfortable JoJo made them feel, it was pretty funny.

Polnareff seeing Abdul and Iggy in the clouds would be way less poignant if there were some sort of gay thing going on

Not sure if it was just something that was made up, but I heard before that this specific fight between Professor X and Shadow King is what inspired Stands for Araki.

That the joke anon, people in japan think machon man are gay, because they're overcompensating for something, remember the One punch man hero who's a muscle macho gay man, thats the joke

Araki's a bit of a westaboo so I wouldn't be surprised. Could also be Doctor Strange, as a lot of panels showed the astral projections leaving the body ala a Stand.

But anon, that's good because the town is ultimately the one who gets the kill on yoshikage kira

The creator of Diesel apparently loved JoJo, but thought it was too weird to catch on in the West, so he took the Stand battle concept straight out of Part 3 and made an Americanized story, simply because he thought western audiences should see it.

Honestly, I'm glad he did it. Diesel is hilarious.

the only real reference I've found is Fredzilla from Big Hero 6: he is a young annoying man with a stupid hat whose main power is to create a Psychic Aura with the shape of a Kaiju, a Stand.

He even poses in the same way Jotaro did when he battled Avdol.

Unfortunately, they nerfed him into a pathetic man in a fursuit.

He was also an Anui, a Japanese indigenous people and now is Jewish

damn right. THE one of the best and epic showdown ever. Too bad kids prefer craps like Naruto or Bleach.

I don't understand why people can't just accept that the FABULOUS nature of Jojo being both awesome and also at least able to be interpreted in a slightly homoerotic fashion are not mutually exclusive concepts.

>HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS GAY YOU'RE GAY FOR LIKING IT
>N... nuh uh, shut up it's not gay

Some of the shit is campy and fabulous. Boo fucking hoo. It's still great. Just like the John Water's Simpsons episode, the director and his man servant in The Producers, the entirety of The Bird Cage, or Nathan Lane in anything. Who fucking cares as long as it's enjoyable.
>>
>>92187711
I can only imagine what it must've been like following the series from the start, watching Araki's art change and improve drastically over the span of three decades.
>>
>>92188341

I bet he lost some people during that sameface period in the middle. Or when musclemen turned into David Bowies.

>>92178909

Basically it was really good until part 3, then part 4 was okay, then skip everything and read Steel Ball Run. Then stop with the series.
