Phantom Blood isn't even that bad. Jonathan is boring but the show is still entertaining. Must watch solely for Dio Brando douchebaggery.

The first part might even be my favorite I can't believe anyone would tell anyone to skip it

Meh, the masks get explained in part two as well and nothing else is really that important to know from part 1. Getting to know what Dio's like is kinda important but I wouldn't call it crucial info.
Knowing of DIO and more about him and his actions is extremely important because he does absolutely nothing for 4/5 of Part 3. They don't ever try to really establish his character, the show just assumes you have seen Part 1 already.

Why would anyone want to miss the glory of Dio?
Part 4 is going to blow your mind

Par 1 is like 13 episodes, part 3 is like 50. There's little pupose in telling him to skip a short and one of th more important arcs of the story that gives context to entire thing and then telling him to watch 50 episode+ stand of the wek series of which understanding the plot is dirctly related to having seen the first part. It makes no sense what so ever.

I think technically they appeared in the artbooks first, but you're right of course.
I'm just trying to take this "anime only" thing more seriously this time around.
Josuke's Stand is probably the simplest one in Part 4, aside from the Hand and the Lock maybe.
Nope, like I said, they first appeared in Part 5. The first artbook had no stats for the Stands, and the other artbooks were released after Part 5.

When was the second time? I only remember him stopping time to dodge Josuke's knockout punch.

I think it was when Koichi dropped his stuff and suddenly had his bag back in his hand.

Oh it didn't even occur to me that could be time stop, I just assumed he did it really fast.

That was just Star Platinum's super speed.

People could write dissertations about some of the later stands, lol
so why is Jotaro investigating any of this in the first place? He says he came to tell josuke of his inheritance
Why does the little dudes voice change during the voice over a few times?
Will these get explained later on? Please answer yes or no only. The part 3 thread was a mess in terms of spoilers

Yes
Joseph got a Stand user photograph when trying to get a picture of Josuke using Hermit Purple.
Said Stand user is Japan's worst criminal. He also said finding Josuke wasn't the only reason why he was there.
I've really come around on this part's style. It looks clean, yet wonderfully bizarre, in a way that gels well with the sentiment that this town is hiding some really weird, wild shit. I barely know anything about Part 4 so I have no clue what the cold open was about, but it gave me excited goosebumps all the same.
Josuke is quite the card. In some ways I can see where he takes after his old man, though clearly the apple didn't fall too far from his mother's tree, either. I can already tell his stand is gonna be fucking hype, with an extra helping of weird. Punching through that lady to get the possessed guy had me shook, then restoring her and leaving the knife in dude had me LEGIT SHOOK. It was awesome, lol.
Koichi's alright, seems harmless enough. But now that he's involved in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, I'm sure that'll change. At least he'll probably be more present than Joseph's friend Smokey, lol. Jotaro looks good in his new threads, and he brought his awesome theme with him so I'll forgive him for being a bit rusty with the Stand powers. I look forward to seeing how the rest of the cast develops.
I think I'm really going to enjoy Diamond Is Unbreakable (why is that subtitle not in the thread title btw). I like that the direction for it seems to be "weird, creepy, sinister shit is afoot", because when it comes to Jojo's, "weird creepy and sinister" marry 「FABULOUSNESS」 to make some dame fine entertainment.
When I realized that they'd only showed that right hand the whole time I was like YOOOOOOOOOOO

I love how they try to pull off the hair/hat even when the costume is white.

Romi Park is not dubbing Koichi
doesn't she have some serious throat problems? I hope she gets well.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 4: Joseph Is Not Trash
Even the Hand and the Lock have some weird rules to them.
I feel like Super fly is the dumbest and most simple.
Jotaro has a bunch of great moments in SC. The main difference is that he is surrounded by a cast of equally likeable characters unlike Battle Tendency.

What I like about Crazy Diamond that it shows you can have weird-ass powers without sacrificing strength and speed

Jotaro is a pretty static character, he sticks to who he is through the whole story never wavering or becoming something else. He is determined, fearless, smart and reliable despite his attitude problems. Really the whole SC cast is pretty static with the exception of Polnareff and Iggy who do sort of grow as time goes on. Jotaro is a bit humorless, but I find how overly competent he is sort of hilarious. I don't understand some of the hate for Jotaro.
Also it should be addressed SC was the first part to let the side characters actually win fights that have stakes. Every member gets a few awesome moments.

Yeah I honestly don't care about what the subs say, everyone knows the real names, the subs are just for them to not get sued.
I mean nobody is calling that guy Cool Ice either.
