Jolyene is a badass, and I liked how creative she got with Stone Free, and Father Pucci is probably my favorite main villain, or at least he's tied with Kira.

I like Dio, but I preferred him before he was a vampire and when he's interacted with in flashbacks like he is in parts 5 & 6, but idk how I felt about him in parts 1 or 3 besides all that.

anyway, I'm not sure if I like the ending, but it was a good read besides all that.

Here is a good writeup on what happened in the ending https://www.reddit.com/r/StardustCrusaders/comments/50ppxy/part_6s_ending_may_be_happier_than_you_think_and/
and a general FAQ for some of the confusing stuff in part 6 https://www.reddit.com/r/StardustCrusaders/wiki/partsixfaq

Also Im sure you know enough to not take the posts of the previous posters and another incoming ones seriously. Although 7 is better overall.

I think that Jojo part 6's ending was pretty straightforward, but I didn't know how it would affect Jojos part 7 & 8

Six is probably my second favorite part. The last fight being so heavily skewed against the gang was really great.
7 starts off a bit weird but it's probably the best standalone part outside of 1.

this is the first Jojo that I've read (I've seen the anime for the other series), so I'm not sure how I'd compare it to the others

I'll have to wait for the anime adaptation and see

Part 6 felt like the author knew he was getting too stuck in his habits but didn't know how to diversify the story arcs better. Admirable at least to try the female protag and prison setting, but it felt like the "history" of the series was a lead weight around the series' foot. With the reset, even if it was janky and confusing, it opened Hiroki up to some more creative ways of telling the types of story he wants to tell.

Part 7 starts a little weak imo but once the Stands get reintroduced it really starts to pickup. I think it's one of the best. Part 8 has been really cool as well, with the story revolving around a few supernatural mysteries that slowly unveil themselves the the reader.

Parts 7 and 8 are in an entirely separate universe. Its not the reboot version of the original universe. The reboot version only erased Pucci which only affects part 6. Parts 1-5 stays the same. (The most it could affect is part 3 and since Jotaro is still alive it heavily implies he still took care of DIO and nothing changed there)

Jojo wasn't selling that well by Part 6, hence why Araki gave the ending he did. Steel Ball Run originally wasn't even suppose to be part of the Jojo verse and it was only suppose to have nods of the original series. It wasn't until later it became officially known as part 7. So yeah technically Part 7 & 8 are the other universe version of Part 1-6.

Yeah, I worded it bad. Part 7-8 is a reboot of the series but isnt the specific Pucci-less reboot that occurred due to him dying. Thats contained in the original universe. Part 7-8 is a separate one.

thanks again for all of the answers.

I'm not sure if I'm sure about what the "Pucci-less" thing means, though.

it seems like a lot has been changed in character relationships/dynamics outside of Pucci

When Pucci died the world was reset without him in it because of his Stand's ability

what I was wondering was more like, without Pucci, would Jolyene have ended up with Annusui(?), for example?

because they said something about how the new universe would be similar to the old one, so those minor differences were things that I was wondering about.

Bruno is a top five Jojo character, from what I've come across so far.

and yea, I didn't like Diavolo, but some of the Passione members were pretty good villains, IMO.

Part 6 is great

Pucci didn't create the SBR universe, the ending is a world where Pucci was never around so Jotaro didn't have to leave Jolyne to protect her

Part 7 is one of the best manga ever written

Part 8 is pretty good

The biggest reason why the end of Part 6 still continues to be so confusing for readers is that Araki did not make it clear that SBR Universe is not connected through continuity with the Original or Reset Universe. The references are truly just references, and if you didn't know that then you might carry some severe misapprehensions through most of Part 8 about a certain Kira Yoshikage.

I like part 7's cross-country race premise, so far.

I'm only on chapter 8, but the named characters seem pretty interesting, and I like how it messes with your expectations, like with Avdol being taken out first, and Diego (Dio) Brando falling behind on the bridge

I know Johnny's the Jojo and Gyro seems to be the favorite, I'm hoping that either Pocoloco or Sandman win.

because Pocoloco is a ridiculous character and Sandman because he's running without a horse/vehicle

That's probably the only thing I hate about part 7 is the fact that there is so much potential in a lot of the side characters and they all got wasted such as Hot Pants, Wekapipo, Pocoloco, and the biggest offender being Sandman/Soundman. Otherwise Part 7 is just so damn solid.

Jojo Bizarre Adventure in general was just a hard series to animate because of not only the art style, but because a lot of the action was very hard to follow and most of it boil down to literal seconds. Most animation studios avoided it like the plague, especially when the OVA's was viewed rather poorly by fans in Japan. David Productions definately took a... sort of a risk picking it up but they timed it perfectly when it was like some anniversary for Jojo series.

It's because of the horses. Animating horses constantly running is difficult. They're probably gonna need CG models for the horses in order to make it work. I won't mind if the CG is good, hopefully they can get it on par with something like Beastars by the time they get to SBR.

I didn't think about the horse thing.

I just got to the part where it's revealed that the race is a front to find the different body parts of the saint scattered across the country

and are stands no longer named after songs or music artists/bands?

maybe they are, but I don't recognize any so far.

Stands are still music references yes. I agree that there's a lot I didn't know in SBR lol. I think the music choices leave Dad Rock somewhat and go into some more modern stuff by this point (an early part 8 stand is called Born This Way).

I really like the start of SBR just showing off the characters with no crazy antics. People underrate the beginning. Some stands do get weird but overall it has the smallest stand count in the series by far, just an interesting fact. He gets a lot of mileage out of a few characters and ideas.

so, I like how out of nowhere, Gyro will be like "hey, Johnny, I just thought about this joke" or "I just thought about this song, want to hear it?" and Johnny will be like, "okay...fine". and after Gyro tells/sings it, Johnny will be like, "it's amazing" and really mean it, lol.
