I recently finished JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (literally like 30 mins ago) and I'm still at a loss for words. Everything this show has to present, including its artstyle, music, openings, closings, characters, character design, voice actors, its all a mere masterpiece.
(This review will contain spoilers with warning)
( Very Minor Spoiler [For people who haven't seen it]) Review:
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is an anime that was made back in 2012. It centers around a boy named Jonathan Joestar, and another boy they brought in around the same age named Dio Brando. Jonathan and Dio end up becoming enemies after Dio tries pulling Jonathan's hoe. Dio then wants to take the Joestar fortune and tries everything he can in order to do so, even if that involves losing his life.
JoJo BA is made up of 2 parts. Each taking place in different timelines (no major gaps). The art is very colorful, mostly made up of vibrant and bright colors (like purple, pink, blue, etc.). This is also proven in the openings of the anime (opening 2 is just amazing). The art style is also very solid, I love every bit of it.
Sub or Dub:
Subbed JoJo is what i think adds to the show even more. The talent from the voice actors presented in the subbed is amazing, and definitely should be your choice
Beginner Anime?:
If you are new to watching anime, I suggest you watch a little bit of anime before you start this show. It will make it way more enjoyable (in my opinion)
SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW BELOW
Openings:
#Sono Chi No Sadame
This opening is astonishing. The mix of the 2D (manga) and amazing 3D art throughout this entire opening is fantastic. I never wanted to skip this opening when I was watching part 1 because of the visuals. The music, on the other hand, is also very good. I think the person's voice represents the "manliness" aka seriousness represented by the characters' designs. Overall this opening is a definite 5/5 for me.
#Bloody Stream
This opening definitely deserves the hype it gets. The music, colorfulness, and animation make this one of the greatest and most memorable openings in anime. I love how the lyrics also match up with the meaning of whats going on in the show. For example, "The pillars have been sleeping for centuries, they have awakened". I can go on forever about this opening, but ima cut it short and give it a obvious 5/5 in my book.
Episode Notes:
#Episode 23 Ending:
Sent chills down my spine, very good reveal that Lisa Lisa was his mother.
#Episode 26 Ending:
I seriously thought Joseph died, I was sad. When I saw him walking up behind Erina I knew it had to be someone in his clothes but thank god that wasnt the case.
Favorite Character:
#Joseph Joestar
Hes my favorite character because of how fun and silly he is. I love how he always has a plan up his sleeve. Hes perfect at tricking his enemies and getting under their emotions to use that against them. Him and Ceaser (rip) were also a great duo.
Conclusion:
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a must watch in my book. I love the characters, colorful designs, animation, voice actors, basically everything about this show is amazing in my eyes. I give this anime a 9.8/10 on my list. Now excuse me while i go watch Stardust Crusaders. Enjoy!
