Pretty solid start overall
The voice acting is good and I like Jousuke's portrayal in this. Those fabulous hair is just glorious to look at while I kinda like his personality as well. Jotaro and Jousuke's on-screen chemistry is also nice. The Stands already looks quite stylistic and I can't wait to see more. A good reminder is not to talk trash about Jousuke's hair!

Episode 2
I'm slightly annoyed by how stupid the escape was, since you could see it coming a mile off. Also that once again, they've sidelined the JoJo-related women to "protect" them from the truth. Since they have other active female characters, I don't know why they keep doing this. And the mangaka really hates dogs, doesn't he. All that aside, this was still tasty JoJo goodness. I really, really enjoy Jotaro and Josuke working together. They play off each other very well. Too bad that means shifting Jotaro's color scheme from black to white. Changing the stand name from Crazy Diamond to Shining Diamond was really unnecessary as that phrase is not copyrighted or trademarked. Anyone know what Aqua Necklace is a reference to? I only just realized today that the JoJo's narrator is Coach Ochiai from Ace of Diamond.

Yup, Ookawa Tooru. He's also Roy in the first FMA series and Tenjin in Noragami, etc. I can't be the only one who's amused that Savage Garden is this season's ending theme.  Though I'm fairly disappointed that I read a huge spoiler (not sure if it was trolling or real, but nonetheless...) for one of the future parts in the comments of the YouTube video.

According to the Jojo wiki (because of course there's a wiki) it's a reference to the band Aqua. You know, the ones who did "Barbie Girl"? |

Thank you. I'd never heard the whole song, let alone knew of the artist, since I'd quit listening to the radio by then, so I only ever passively caught the hook in random public places or on tv when it couldn't be avoided. Now that I've seen the lyrics, I consider that a blessing and an affirmation of why I quit.

I forgot how absolutely savage Angelo was, I'm not fond of dogs or their owners too but daaaaamn
 . I have to admit, Angelo tricking Josuke's grandfather into drinking his stand was incredibly clever, and also pretty convenient that he stalked the poor old guy to know to pull that trick against him.

I liked how Josuke went BAOH for a second there. The way they are pacing these first two episodes we are going to be watching for a while.
I'm not a fan of IV but we gotta get through it to get to V and beyond. I hope it succeeds. This is the closest we have ever been. |

Episode 2:
I think the OP song is fabulous and the ED theme song has a nostalgic feel to it. Pacing is fine for now, they adapted everything what I had expected so far. I feel really bad for Josuke's grandpa though... At least they managed to get justice against Angelo. I'm starting to get used to the animation style as well, wasn't a big fan of it at first but I think it's working well now. |

Episode 3:
Lol and that's why it's not a good idea to piss off Josuke. Too bad for Angelo. Glad to see they're able to finish adapting the Angelo parts for this episode and move on to the next part. I liked Josuke and Kouichi's chemistry this episode as well. Cool to see Nijimura's appearance too and poor Kouichi, pretty fun stuff. About..3-4 chapters adapted? I think pacing is still good for now. Also really liking that ED theme song and OST. |

Episode 4:
Nice episode, got what I had expected with the action. I really liked Josuke and Koichi's chemistry and I think they adapted Bad Company pretty well along with Keicho this episode. Bet the VA had a lot of fun with this episode as well. A battle of strategies...quite exciting overall. I really liked the mind games that Josuke played against Keicho from start to finish. |

A three parter? Man, I wish I waited another week for a solid conclusion.
My mother was in the room while I was watching it. Her comment: "They swear a lot." |

Episode 5:
That was fun, really nice to see the episode capture the facial expressions of Koichi and Josuke for this arc and keeping the blood in. Dio is also mentioned this episode as well with that background story. Interesting to see the flashbacks about Nijimura siblings. I got somewhat emotional watching the episode as well in the latter half. It was overall fairly well executed in terms of storytelling. Can't wait for the next arc! |

I wonder why they obscured the kids' faces until the photo reveal? I can't see any point to it.

Things are getting interesting. And here I thought the show would just be keeping itself on life support once Dio died (thus ending all plot threads from the first part of JoJo). I was wrong! This is a generational saga, and it shows. This is already miles above the start of Stardust Crusaders. Hopefully, it'll keep this momentum up.
