Of those, Stardust Crusaders. This is a stupid fucking irredeemable troll thread for omitting Battle Tendency and SBR though. Obviously.

Why did you combine Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency? They were only the same season in the anime.

Honestly, I should voted for "Series 1" as you put it, but I thought you meant something else so I voted Golden Wind.

maybe Golden Wind, because of the whole suicide mission thing, and Bruno Bucciarati being the best Jojo character.

Shouldve split Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency up in the poll. A ton of people like Part 2 significantly more than Part 1.

I didn't know. I'm new to the series compared to you so I used the Wikipedia list for the anime names

Frankly, Jojo is a series that gets worse as it goes along. The longer it goes, the more contrived it becomes and the less substance it has, as it becomes clearer that it's really just a Japanese pervert's cash cow. This applies to most any long running Shonen.

1. Phantom Blood (best)
2. Battle Tendency
3. Stardust Crusaders
4. Diamond is Unbreakable
5. Golden Wind
6. Stone Ocean
7. Steel Ball Run
8. Jojolion (worst)

The correct rankings. However, Jojo was always trash. It just gets worse as it goes along. The peak was the first page, no, the first panel. Actually, the cover. Better yet, it peaked inside of Araki's mind, because he should have never actually created it.

Since nobody believes people can be half way through a series and not have read the manga before watching the anime and dont believe people use Google and Wikipedia for some reason ^

Dang thats wild! I was stoked to watch Golden Wind. Out of the 4 animated series it'd be the worst in your opinion?

one of Scotty's gimmicks is criticizing stuff; I wouldn't take his ranking to heart.

Lol don't get me wrong, it's still entertaining. Personally Golden Wind is my favorite. In terms of writing style, it's better than part 4 as it's more focused (less pointless shit) and better than 3 as it's less predictable (more plot developments and twists). The whole series is a work without substance, though; the sooner it ends, the better because it's a waste of time.

Still, if you enjoyed the previous parts, no reason not to watch Golden Wind.

Why do you consider it a stupid series?

Interesting!

Now that I know the manga is way ahead by that many arcs(or series?) I'll have way more materiel to catch up on after finishing these two anime series since idk how soon they will animate Stone Ocean.

It's Shonen, brah. No matter how many good individual ideas there may be, it's just someone throwing shit at the wall and hoping that it'll stick; there is no cohesion or emotional investment. Just flashy shit made by a social misfit who was bored with his own society, so he resorted to doing social commentary as a means to feel a sense of superiority over those who rejected him.

It's still fun to watch, though. Giorno Giovanna my fav anime character fam

Appreciate the enthusiasm, but I'm not sure if it's a great idea to start a series-wide discussion when you aren't caught up yet. Not in a gatekeeping way, but you might get casually spoiled since you didn't specify how far you were in the series in the OP. Also yeah, the first season adapts Parts 1 and 2 in one season because neither are very long on their own.

A lot of hype around his character is what convinced me to go back and finish the animated series actually.

That and somebody on here told me that the concept of stands pre date the persona concept.

I enjoyed every season of jojo I guess I'm in the minority who thinks it got better as it went along. I have a soft spot for crusaders though that season was great I didn't mind the length.

You're right to be honest! That's true.

I was just enjoying animated series #3 about as much as the 1st animated series, and was wondering if in people's opinions it got better from here on.

And that makes sense then, I was mostly googling the anime episode list. But yeah part 1 and part 2 would be my favorite so far in that case.

It's easier to refer to them by either their part number or their part name (Part 5 goes by Golden Wind or Vento Aureo interchangeably, the latter being what some of the manga readers call it). Also depending on whether you're watching with Crunchyroll subs or the dubs, a lot of the original names were changed to avoid copyright issues. So things like "Sticky Fingers" became "Zipper Man" and "Santana" became "Sanviento." Just know that if you end up using the dub names people might think you're joking around or you'll probably annoy some people inadvertently.

wow you're spot on not only am I pretty early in the series, but I actually am watching the dubbed version(s) , so all my Jojo lingo would be based on dubs atm smh.

Nah. SBR is very well regarded (as it should be). 2-6 all have their fans and detractors, pros and cons. You can safely ignore almost anything Scotty "Genie Buu" Rogers says about anime/manga.

I think that one's fairly safe, if only because there's an in-universe abbreviation for it. Sort of like how they could get away with Chili Pepper because they use that more often than the stand's full name. If they do go for Atrocious Acts it'll just be for fun. Personally I'm looking forward to Flaccid Pancake.
