yes.

each part has its own different theme, so it's hard to say how long it takes to get good, since one thing might appeal to you over the other, but the first part is the most conventional.

iirc, you can stream it on Netflix, Hulu, and Tubi (free service).

Netflix has the first couple seasons in English.

You should watch from the beginning though the first 6 eps or so make up part 1, which is kind of boring. But still watch it.

Part 2 onwards is all consistently great.

Netflix has everything up through Diamond is Unbreakable. I'm not sure what other non-"yar har fiddle dee dee" options there would be.

I liked all seasons, but I felt like Stardust Crusaders lagged in places. Some folks also don't jive with Phantom Blood.

Yes, it's worth watching.

Anywhere between 3-9 episodes. Part 1 is the weakest but thankfully it's short.

Netflix has parts 1-4 dubbed. I think part 5's dub is still stuck in "it aired on Toonami but no one else can pick it up for streaming" limbo right now. Crunchyroll has all 5 parts subbed if you decide to switch to subs.

Yes

the only sort of mediocre one is the first arc but its not bad by any means, just not as good as the others. you might like it a little more because its very Victorian horror themed though

Nobody is saying it's bad tbqh, just less good which is fine. I'd rather undue low expectations than undue high ones

Oh. It's this.

My wife once took a German course for some easy college credits ((we lived in Germany a few years) and they told her to watch some show called jojo's adventure, or adventures of Jojo or some shit. Supposed to be a course about learning conversational German.

She somehow found THIS shit instead.

Fucking glorious.

There is one burning question though.

Jotaro.

That hat. What the fuck is up with that hat?

Is it half a hat? Is it fused to his head? Is it all just his hair and he just gelled it into the shape of a hat and stuck hat trim decorations in his hair?

This is like the most innocent Jojo comment I've ever seen.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the series. The premise changes quite a bit once part 3 starts. So even if it doesn't really resonate with you, I'd at least get that far.

Honestly while I'm not sold on loving it, I'm definitely enjoying it right now.

Also wait Dio and Jojo are friends again?

Yeah what the other guys said. Just watch from the beginning. Every part is very different from one another so it's hard to rank them.

My personal favorites from the anime are 4 and 5.

It's not that it's amazingly good, though I am enjoying it, but it's so thoroughly different and unique to any anime I've watched that I can't help but enjoy the ridiculousness.

You're going to love part 3. It's pure homage to horror with almost every arc being based around famous horror villains and settings. The rest of the parts do go into different genres but it never loses its horror edge.

Oh man

Are other Jojo arcs horror? I never even heard about this aspect of it, which is a shame because I've been craving horror adjacent anime for years

You can kind of say the entire series is horror because the entire series is about battles with supernatural beings, thriller plotlines, and tons of body horror (Araki is a huge horror fan), but it also just goes into different genres like one part is about the Italian mafia, another about a jailbreak, another is a slice of life (with murderers and supernatural stuff), another about a cross-country horse race etc. Yet despite that, all of them still feel very similar and shares the same story beats. You'll have to see for yourself.

There's a spin-off ('Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe') which is basically a straight up horror anthology miniseries. It's only got 4 episodes now, but it only just released this year, so with hope they might release more.

Don't watch it until you finish watching part 4 though.
