I know I said that I would never write another official review on Anilist, but I really needed to express myself, my thoughts about a show that changed my life on a very personal level, one could even say, on an intimately personal level. Of course, I am talking about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind.

Where can I possibly begin with a piece such as this, something that made me question myself so deeply? Well, I suppose I could start with a commentary on one of the defining, iconic elements of the JoJo series, its visuals. Part 5 continues the usual JoJo style with its classic color palette swaps, bold lines, and very defined males. The visualization of men in part 5 was so elevating that it completely altered my previous perception on men. The insane detail in the smoothly animated strokes, as well as the lines were so visually stimulating.

Before proceeding, I'd simply have to commentate on the palpitating character designs and how much they evoke a feeling of solidity in the decisions of David Productions' creative team. The striking character designs continue to be a strong staple in the JoJo style.

Of course, it wouldn't be JoJo without its exceedingly fun, wacky fights, and part 5 does not hold back. The amount of uniquely creative ways Giorno and the gang managed to penetrate their opponents' defenses through some new bizarre method was so intimately stimulating. In my humble opinion, part 5 contained the most creative combatative intercourses thus far, due mostly to this part's introduction of many hugely inventive stands.

JoJo also wouldn't be the same without its incredible sound design that immensely excels the fights, and its soundtrack that continues to absolutely slap with its meaty beats. Along with the now iconic Giorno's theme, you got other lower-half-of-the-body-region-slappers like Formaggio's theme, or Diavolo's theme, but of course you got other, more chill songs like the relaxing alba.

Oh, and such stunning animation. I'm afraid I can't continue without harking back to the visual aspect, and discussing how amazing it was. The movement within each frame was smoother than water and other fluids, and only excelled in fights such as the Bruno vs. Pesci encounter.

Now I suppose I should close this out with a discussion of this part's writing. By design, JoJo's writing has continued to be fairly simple, rather than something deeply thought-arousing, but it also hasn't fallen into the same issues I had with part 3, a factor that really made me wanna come on over to Japan and give Araki a hi-five for his work. On the contrary, part 5 managed to remain consistently enjoyable throughout its pretty lengthy runtime with its entertaining fights, colorfully fruity cast of characters, occasional moments that made me bust out laughing, engaging plot, and pretty cool villain.

Once again, part 5 is another beefy package of fun to come out of the JoJo series. But no, it was even more than that. If with its several flaws, and by that, I mean mostly Giorno, it became something special to me. To me, part 5 was an experience, an unexpected 39-episode journey to find my true self. I suppose you could even say that I requiremed from this part. And after such a metamorphosis, I now realize that I had been in denial my whole life, and must now accept the undeniable truth that...

I LOVE MEN

And Coco Jumbo, he was the best character.
