tazzyboyishere 08/05/17 7:21:19 PM #354:	I finished watching Stardust Crusaders a couple days ago. I read the manga and thought it was decent overall, but not nearly on par with Battle Tendency. Watching through it though, I didn't really get why I thought that. It was really satisfying to watch with great battles, tons of variety, and top-notch animation. I loved it for a while. But then, around when season 2 began, I began to understand why I don't like this as much. The problem, for me, is how the story was introduced. From almost the very beginning, the heroes are given the task to save Holly. There's not really any build-up to this plotline, it's an immediate goal for the characters to work with. On top of that, a time limit has been placed upon them, creating an immediate sense of urgency. So throughout the entire story, I personally want consistent progression in the plot to make this challenge feel more exciting. It works really well for a while! Many battles occur in the process of traveling, and it's great watching them make progress under these constant handicaps. But eventually, the main plot feels secondary to the fights, rather than a satisfying blend, and we get multiple episodes where the crew is fighting random Dio slaves without any feeling of progression. If that makes sense I guess. Basically, I don't like how it created an immediate conflict that needed to be completed in a set amount of time, then proceeded to have an episodic structure. The pacing falls off a cliff once they reach Egypt, and it dulls the overall package imo. That being said, I can't deny how incredible they actually did make these fights. I liked pretty much all of them, so when I wasn't being annoyed by the writing, I could find comfort in some of the most well-done battles in shounen anime. Animation just works for JoJo so much better, that I probably won't bother reading any more of it (I'm halfway through part 5). The stylistic flare and passionate voicework aren't possible in the manga format, and it really creates an awesome viewing experience.
