I think my biggest gripe is with people breaking DiU's balls over it actually trying to have fun with it's characters. So fucking what not every episode is them trying to not die, how else are you going to actually care about the characters unless you actually see them live their life. Koichi walks his dog, does his homework, gets tutored, learns to man up, falls in love with a woman he didn't even think he'd like cause she's scary on the outside, but that woman's sweet and well prepared. Probably helped him plan out some stuff for Kira and what not. The characters actually being characters and not cardboard cutouts adds a lot of charm to DiU and I found it to be my favorite part of the show outside of random bullshit stand shenanigans. Best part was they didn't always rely on the Jojo to save the day and they even stuck around after their intro eps. DiU actually had a fun cast. Even Shigechi grew on me, especially during the rewatch.
Agreed. I liked the "filler" moments a lot. Hell, it's basically why I love Jojo in general, because the mundane shit they do from time to time can get just as bizarre.
It's not about forcing people to like something. I strongly disagree with the notion that opinions can't change and arguments don't matter.
Opinions can change. And arguments do matter.
But like, at the end of the day, this is just an anime we like. I certainly wouldn't fault someone if they don't feel like debating/arguing every single time, or at all. (But with that in mind, they should take care not to be the type of person that solely posts snarky responses or w/e in response to critique) Sometimes people outright hate the shows I love, and sometimes I argue back. But other times it's just not worth the effort, or maybe I have to be comfortable with the thought of dropping an argument after it's been going on too long.
Additionally, generally speaking, arguments don't always have to have a victor, where it's like, you must get this dude to agree with your viewpoints, to change their opinion. Sometimes just letting them see where you're coming from is good enough. Or sometimes you just need to let it go.
