A less charitable way of saying the writer can make up it's abilities at anytime!

But that's Gold Experience!
Star Platinum's true strength is that it belongs to Jotaro, the main and most popular character.

Star Platinum's abilities include:
Super Strength
Super Speed
Araki Enhanced Senses
The ability to extend its fingers

Thanks, WEBMs can be edited for there to be text scrolling in it right?
I dunno, but I guess it should be possible. This one includes sound though, if desired.

Yes. This is a proof of concept:

Used Adobe Premiere for it. It's hard to do with the default text options, but I expect there's a really nice plugin you can get to make it easier.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders episode 6
Did..did they just censor someone smoking......in japan?
Also I feel like the girl is suddenly going to look alot older than she originally did next episode

God I love the sound design in this scene. The shattering glass sound and that last punch sound are spot on.

To be fair, Stardust Crusaders IS pretty much a stand-of-the-week part.
Not that there's necessarily something wrong with that but not everyone likes the formula.

Yeah, but every enemy they encounter in part 3 is much much more diversed than the past 2 parts.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
you make it sound like Part 2 is about vampire of the week
In comparison to part 5 and most of part 6 Stardust Crusaders feels like the most varied manga ever. Those two are literally fight after fight after fight after fight without barely any plot or anything happening in between fights. Stardust Crusaders gets better, especially later on.

Gotta be honest whilst I enjoy this series of JoJo so far, I definitely enjoyed the first season more.
Maybe it'll change after a few more episodes but we'll see.

One of the problems of part 3 is that Jotaro is such a Vanilla main character, he's the cool and silent badass; Joseph had a much more funny personality, he's still my favourite JoJo.

so far i liked part 1 the best. the motivation of the antagonist and protagonist seem to be explained well while in part 2 and 3 (so far) its just "bad dio" and "bad pillar men"

There weren't that many in the part 2 which is my point.
This is really it for me. I liked Jonathan and Joseph far more by episode 6 of their respective parts than I do Jotaro. Star Platinum and the stand battles are cool and all, and I don't mind monster of the week formulas that much if I can get into the characters. But so far, Jotaro is so dull and the other characters aren't doing much to make up for that.
Joseph is the best JoJo for me so far as well. Plus in the manga, I only read parts 1-3 because part 4 had some really bullshit translation at the time I was reading it.
As a whole, part 2 is more interesting because the antagonists are more present and pose (IMO) a greater threat than Dio.
On the other hand, the final two volumes, if animated really well, will be pure bliss.
Jotaro's main strength is how "cool" he is in any situation. The guy gives zero shits about anything.

Outside of Joseph and possibly
, the franchise isn't exactly known for its charismatic and entertaining protagonists. In almost any given part, the supporting cast is better than the JoJo.

This is so true. Part 2 is pretty much the only part where the JoJo is my favorite character. I don't think any JoJo is particularly dislikable though.

This post is not グレート!
How can you not like Josuke? I understand Johnny since you have Gyro there, but Josuke is pretty cool man.
Joseph is still the best though.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Josuke
I mostly agree, except for the fact that Josuke exists.

i can't take all dis josuke love <3

Mind you, I'm referring to Josuke is not Crash
Wouldn't be a Jojo thread without it
Both Josukes are so good though.

Josuke is pretty alright, but I always saw the strength of Part 4 being the situations he and his friends get into rather than the characters themselves. IMO, they're all kind of underdeveloped including Josuke.
Anyway, this is a part 3 thread.

SC is way longer than those other two parts though , and we've just been introduced to the whole gang an episode ago.
Well, I said I was comparing the three based on my impressions from the first 6 episodes from each series. Even if SC is longer, roughly 2 hours of television should be enough for a main character to make some kind of impression or endear him/herself to the audience. Jotaro has failed to do so thus far with me, whereas Jonathan and Joseph did.

True, but let's be honest, for the most part what we've seen of Jotaro so far is what we'll get for the rest of the series.

Fair point then and one I agree with.
Episode 6
Whoa, it's pretty impressive that they don't seem to be cheapening out on the show anytime soon. Even though this is totally a Stand-of-the-week episode (like most of the episodes will be), there was some pretty good action, and really nice explosions at the end. Looks like David Production is definitely handling this to the best of their ability. Hopefully it stays this way. I like how it's okay to show Jotaro molesting a little girl, but it's not okay to show him smoking. Roflmao.

To think the Duwang translation has built a little cult for itself; some of that stuff is unbelievable, especially the first volumes:
I'll add my vote to the
Josuke
He didn't even know she was a girl before touching her, so I wouldn't say he's molesting her, unless we apply the loosest definition of molestation.
