“An oil tanker for you”
-DIO
How nice of DIO to give Jotaro an oil tanker. It really shocked me on how relatable and sympathetic DIO was as an antagonist. I was really happy DIO showed how sharing is caring. This is such a nice and family friendly series that all families need to watch this on Saturday nights, you will learn a valuable and great lesson for this.
Story
OIL TANKER/10
Jotaro and company are on a quest to go to Cairo, Egypt were DIO is located. As you can see, Jotaro cannot handle his long-distance relationship towards DIO. So in an effort to show his true love, he goes to Egypt to seek out his true love. But DIO knows about Jotaro’s plan, so he decided to test them by sending about 20 of his minions to test Jotaro towards his love towards DIO and thus the story begins.
Characters
DIO/10
DIO is probably the greatest villain in anime history as I related to him so much, and he is not a Mary Sue, he is really on the level of Griffith and John Liebert in my honest opinion, MAYBE EVEN HIGHER. Jotaro is a very unique new brand of Tsundere, as he doesn’t accept the oil tanker and wasted all off DIO’S hardwork and pain on lifting that very heavy and expensive oil tanker; But that in my opinion, shows that Jotaro is a well-written and flawed protagonist, on the level of Guts and Miyamoto Musashi. But Jotaro just straight-up rejected it, which really almost made me cry. For the other characters being Kakyoin, Avdol, Joseph and Iggy they were very great in regards to their development, but I felt like they were interfering with the love between Jotaro and DIO.
Art
BROMANCE/10
For the art it was very good. It was really ahead of it time. You may say that the art was very bad, dark and ugly. But I disagree because it really fits well with the love-story between Jotaro and DIO.
Sound
NONOONONONONONONONONOONONONONONONONO/10
With the sound I have zero complaints. I really felt DIOS love and compassion towards Jotaro when he gave that oil tanker out of the kindness of his pure, vampiric heart. I also feel the struggle as Jotaro said NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO as he was rejecting DIOS love and compassion towards him, but alas he’s a Tsundere remember? As for the background music I still have zero complaints, why? Because there is barely any backgroung music to begin with. To other people you may think that’s bad and ugly. But for me it really made me focus towards more on the story and beautiful art because there are no distractions.
Overall
10/10
A well-written story with laughs, sadness and something to learn in the end. There is also a dash of psychological, horror, thriller and a great coming of age story showing that love has no boundaries whatsoever. Please watch it, if you haven’t you are not an anime fan, sorry.
