They are adding the fighting game to Game Pass next week, so I figured I should be familiar with the show a bit before playing it.

Only watched 2 episodes so far. What am I in for?

Posing. Lots and lots of posing.

And song references that got removed in the English version due to copyright/trademarks.

a great series that focuses on a new cast (but the same family) each part.

there are some recurring characters between some parts, and an overarching story through some of it, but each part feels like its own thing, which I appreciate.

An awful series that focuses on a new cast (but same shitty family) each part.

There are some recurring characters across some parts, and each an overarching storyline through some of them, but each part is trash, which no one should appreciate.

the first two series are quite different to the rest of them

I personally didn't like where it went in 3 but I know I'm in the minority there

Watch the first two parts in English, the accents in the dub make it so delightfully campy.

A great series with a wide variety of different appeals across each part. Don't listen to anyone saying "X is the best part" or "part X sucks" because they can vary so wildly that which part someone will like the most also varies from person to person. It's all up to personal preference.

The English dub for the later parts is pretty good too. Ben Diskin as Young Joseph in part 2 is one of my favorite performances in all of anime, but Matt Mercer as Jotaro, Patrick Seitz as Dio, Billy Kametz (RIP) as Josuke, D.C. Douglas as Kira, Ray Chase as Bruno, and Kira Buckland as Jolyne are all standouts too. JoJo is one of those shows where I think it's an enjoyable watch either way, but I personally preferred the dub.

Show is constantly straddling the line between genuine drama and pure shitposting. Part 3 introduces the "Stand" concept that the series would eventually become famous for. A lot of people starting the anime find the transition a bit jarring at first, but if you give it a chance you find it gives battles a lot of room to get creative once the author finds his groove.

If you care about spoilers, try to avoid any anime-related spaces on the internet while you watch. A good number of big moments have integrated into the cultural meme collective, including hidden powers, character deaths, and secret identities lol.

He's good but his voice is so distinct and I cannot unhear the guy from Kids Next Door. >___>

But it's the perfect voice for a posh British git like Joseph!

Part 6 nailed it with the casting for Jolyne. Both of her voice actresses (Buckland in English and Ai Fairouz in Japanese) grew up as JoJo fans and always dreamed of getting to voice Jolyne, and they went from fans to getting to live out that dream for real.

Plus, it's hilarious that Ai Fairouz got to voice both a JoJo and a Precure in the same year.

first 2 parts are pretty awful. first time i tried watching i quit like 8 episodes in. 1st part is at least short and gives the whole backstory on stuff. 2nd part has it's moments it's decent but for the most part is just a chore to watch.

part 3 they change up the combat and it's definitely a big improvement but still coming into it's own and not amazing but first part i started to see why people liked the show. part 4 and each new one just gets better and better. still need to finish watching the new part.

Expect part one to be kind of boring, its just the backstory of how Jonathan Joestar is a moron and clearly the dumbest of the bloodline. Part 2 picks up with a young Joseph Joestar who is probably my favorite of the anime.

Past that, just know that the series goes through a timeline. So it actually has an aging cast.

Just gonna drop a few out of context (non-spoiler) clips that highlight Joseph being the best JoJo and the part 2 dub being great

Youve already seen it, but I appreciate Dio coming right out the gate so over the top. He takes zero time to build up steam and it's fantastic.

You're in for a team of Scooby Doo tier detectives examining a group of 10 people, 9 of whom are identical and have no names, and a 10th dude who is built like the hulk, and they are collectively unable to figure out who is the culprit.

Yeah, Araki really gets into the groove of writing stand battles during the final battle of Part 4 and after. I haven't seen a single person who got to part 7 (which brings a version of Hamon back) who doesn't prefer stands for their far greater creativity and unique scenarios.
