​@@tuexiazz I don't think you've seen enough JoJo opening reactions. No one minds if they're spoilery at this point, since they have no context and will easily forget what happens there. I've yet to see one reactor whose enjoyment was ruined by watching all JoJo OPs first; watching variants are the norm and it completes the package of reacting to JoJo OPs. Anyone who disagrees seem to not have watched any other JoJo reactions. This is literally the most common way reactors watch JoJo.

The JoJo anime and manga experiences are VERY different, coming from someone who's both read and watched all of JoJos. Despite the story being almost the same in both versions (with some minor exclusions, rearrangements or additions made by the anime), the experience is very different. Both the anime and manga versions of the story make full use of their medium. Araki's art is jawdropping and mesmerising in the manga, and David Production's animation work is fantastic in the TV anime adaptation.

Is that a mf'ing Jojo reference?!

"If there's like mild Gore in this I'm here." As an enjoyer of many animes I must say parts 4&5 made me go into audible gagging fits with some of the fights and death scenes (looking at you Risotto vs Doppio) to be fair they're also some of my favorite fight and death scenes so it's not just gory for the sake of gory

Basically, those "Personas" are called Stands. They're the manifestation of one's fighting spirit and they can have varied forms/shapes, as well as a varied list of powers/abilities. They were introduced in Part 3, and most likely inspired Persona, since Jojo Part 3 came way before. The Stands themselves have a few rules: -Only Stand users can see Stands (but there are exceptions, like Stands linked to objects) -Only Stands can interact with other Stands (but again, there are exceptions) -Whenever the Stand gets hurt, the user also takes the damage in most cases (unless it's an object-linked Stand or an automatic Stand) -Stand users naturally attract each other, whether positively or otherwise

LETS FORKING GOOOO MAN

As both a Bleach and Jojo fan, I'm stoked you're getting into Jojo. In fact, my main takeaway after reading Jojo was "that explains so much about Bleach and a lot of 90s manga" just like how Bleach influenced a lot of modern shounen now. Not gonna lie, I'm also a bit disappointed you didn't see the opening variants but it's fine if you don't want to watch them.

The song you remember is from part 5, Golden Wind, it is Giorno Giovanna's Theme the main jojo in that part and it is very iconic.

I used to be really annoyed when they didn't show the 2nd/3rd variation of an opening, but now i see it as they can now enjoy the show and manga a lot more

As for the dropping jojo thing, I completely understand. I actually dropped the show for like a year because I also couldn't get past part one. It was only when my friend encouraged me to contuine that I gave it another shot and holy crap has it become one of my top 10 favourite anime. It's genuinely one of the most unique shows I've ever had the pleasure of watching. It's hard to explain, but as you watch jojos, there's a part where you just "get" it. Like at some point you're like, "Oh *now* I understand why this show is so popular." That moment can be as early as part 2 or as late as part 5. For some that moment never happens and that's fine as the show isn't for everyone, but I'd encourage you to give it another shot if you wish to!

Persona was actually inspired by Jojo's stands

Many people have a problem with starting the anime. My sister stopped watching because a dog was killed In the first episode.

I was in the same boat as you 😂 during quarantine, I watched ten minutes of the first episode before turning it off. I then waited 2 years before getting back into it. It's one of my favorite animes now, it's amazing. I'd highly recommend it but you just have to be in the correct mindset to start.

The art style is definitely interesting. It does shift from early parts to later parts. Early parts guys are VERY much the super muscular tough guy build (I believe the author was inspired by movie stars at the time like Clint Eastwood and Sylvester Stallone. Later parts the characters (especially the guys) have a lot more variety in shapes. Part 4 I believe is around when this transition happens where the beginning of part 4 Josuke is super buff and then slims down a bit as it continues.

The characters are jacked af in the earlier Seasons because that was suuuuuuper popular in the '80s. The '80s was a time when every other manga was about big muscular men fighting for justice (with a lot of yelling too). Jonathan's character is an homage to Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) (where the "NANI!?" meme comes from).

i remember giving jojo's a try a lot of years ago but dropped it bc the first episodes were so boring to me, then some years later i watched it with a friend of mine and started to like it, we stopped watching it mid part 3 and then i tried to watch the rest by myself and here we are, it became my fave anime lol. I will always recommend people to give it another try if they dropped it even if the first part might bore you, everyone starts loving it after part 2 or 3 so be patient and it will get good! Tho i have to say that after watching it a few times from part 1 i began to like part 1 as well, i used to say that it is slow and boring but it actually has a very fast pacing and a good freaking plot, but i can understand how people get overwhelmed by the fast pacing of the 9 first episodes, but they're SO good, love this masterpiece, i'll never regret giving it another try

Literally slept on it

Personally I think Part 1 and Part 2 are significantly worse in the manga than in the anime. Manga is way slower paced, horrendously so (Part 1: 50 chapters vs 9 episodes), and in many ways it's also like an old video game, the quality of life features we're used to are not there. A lot of 80s manga fluff. One could argue the anime was rushed, but it's more like it made it more streamline and easier to get through. On the other hand I think Part 3 is way better in the manga, because the pacing is faster and the story is told with more finesse. Honestly the opposite of the first two parts.

Jojo is awesomeeee❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥 I like reading the manga as well. You can’t base what you watch or read as thinking the whole series is the same because each part is so diffrent. One thing is that people see references to the newer parts and then watch part one and are like “what does this have to do with anything with what I saw?” Then they don’t watch it

37:33 the 80s was a big shift. Talking about a 10 year period in entertainment is a lot. While dragon ball and dragon ball z (same thing manga wise) handle designs a bit differently, the 80s, and most series from the 80s were inspired by the bodybulding craze that we have seen grow in hollywood, with charaters like Schazzenegger, Silvester Stallone and the like, and that were phased out in the 90s, when Naruto, Bleach and One Piece came out, while also considering that these 3 latter animes have very different desing phisolophies. one thing that you might figure out as you experience the series, is that Araki is a big lover of both classic art, be it painting, sculpture and other forms of art. He was always drawn to western culture. I will leave it just at that and let you find out the rest by yourself.

Persona was actually inspired by JoJo

I used to be the same way about jojo. I refused to watch it because so many anime’s I tried that were hyped up ended up not being to my liking. When I finally watched jojo though, I got invested. The art, stories, humor, drama, music, and everything in general is top notch, and after watching it it’s easy to see it’s impact on culture to this day. Honestly, it’s worth a watch for anyone willing to try it.

I was one of those guy who judged it by art style cuz it completly different from other anime. One day i was asking friend if he iwatch anime and he told me his favorite is Jojo so i just gave it a chance. And im glad i did cuz i rly like it 😊

Those variants are amazing too , I Hope u react to them Soon.

Jojo as an anime is really one of the greatest adaptations that has ever been done. It's not a perfect one to one with the Manga, though they never change anything that matters. But what they change and add takes advantage of what anime can do that Manga can't, especially with sound and music. Its also great in that each story is so unique from the previous part, its constantly refreshing itself.

if you look to it, there's a difference among these op. all op is in 2.5ish D(or its just CG), but the op for part 4 and 5 are just in our regular animation

You should react to the endings, out of context videos, and maybe the alternate openings before you have the context for why the changes happen.

Sad you missed the best parts, opening of part 3 4 5 and I think 6 have different versions, relating to where you are in the part, so later in part 4, Kira uses Bite The Dust to reverse time by an hour, so when its at that part in the anime, the op at the end has Kira pressing the button, reversing the whole song.

Part 1 is really just a lot of buildup for the next part/s. It can be slow, but also has some good moments. If you intend to watch the series, I'd advise you to not watch the alternate editions of the intros if you care about spoilers

JoJo starts off fairly slow, I would say Part 1 is easily the weakest part of JoJo by far and while many jojo fans would say it's still good, I personally disagree heavily. Part 2 (which starts with episode 10) is where it starts getting good imo, and Part 3 is where it finds a unique and key concept that will be prevalent and important throughout the all the rest of the parts of JoJo. I would say you should at least finish Part 3 before you give your judgement on JoJo as a whole. Edit: if that sounds way too overwhelming or too long of an investment of time, then just get to Part 2 (which starts at episode 10), I think right from the start of Part 2, you'll get what I mean, I don't want to spoil too much by telling you why that is the case but you'll figure it out yourself once you get there.
