Wouldn't starting at Part 2 be the worst possible advice? I would not get Part 2 if not for either Part 1 or 3

I got my brother to watch Jojo my way.

You miss so much not watching part 1. There's literally no reason to not watch from the beginning. And if he starts at part 3 and then goes back to part 1 he's already like "I know how part 1 ends." and then if he moves onto part 2 he's again like "i know the general ending" and it greatly detracts from the enjoyment.

part 1 and 2 spoilers:

Spoiler

He'll be like "I know Jonathan and Dio die on the boat at the end of part 1." and he knows Joseph survives part 2, and loses his hand if he watches part 3 first. It will detract from the experience, even if it's just slightly, it detracts.

I know, I know. Still, JoJo first. Ippo either second or third. Depends on whether I want to watch Bebop first.

Soon

So wait, I'm saying I'm watching JoJo first and you're saying that's a weird choice and recommend me to watch JoJo first as well?

You haven't seen beboop either?

You have work to do

People still watched Fate/Zero after Fate/Stay Night.

 

[RecursiveFault]

Now that there's the 2012 anime it's easier to tell people to watch it instead of reading Part 1, since the art and Fist of the North Star ripoff second half makes it rough for some people.

It was commonly said that Part 3 is the best place to latch on if you dislike Part 1 that much, but Part 2 is worth it. Part 3 is just a good way to get people into the series if they're about to drop it.

Let him do what he wants. I said WE'RE NOT THIS PETTY DAMMIT

 

[skLaFarebear]

Not understanding 2 without 1 is seen as pretty commonly agreed upon. Many people recommend Part 1 just to get Part 2.

Part 1 is seen as not being as good as 2. But the first episode is probably one of my favorites in the whole show. Its just

how big of a dick can Dio be to jojo in 24 minutes?

Its like the greatest thing ever.

 

[sjay1994]

So... I am on episode 7...

When does the animation get this good?

Gurren>Ippo>JoJo

 

[ultimax]

Bible Black was way more hype than Gurren.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

The only thing Jojo that I've watched was that awesome Jotaro vs Dio OVA, I spoiled myself on many important things because I watched that.

Otherwise I'm sticking to very slowly reading the manga.

I love the first few volumes and chapter of JoJo part 1. The more I reread it and rewatch it the more I love it. It's the strongest part of Part 1. I love the household childhood drama.

Its a great introduction to the series and shows you exactly what you're getting into. Its not perfect, but its got one of the greatest villains ever and some crazy Jojo shit. But yeah, part 2 is just so so good in comparison.

 

[Squishy3]

This is not remotely comparable, because there's stuff in Fate/Zero that's never explained in F/SN. One also comes after, and different people get different things out of it if they've played/watched F/SN or not. Fate is really weird in that way.

Whereas Jojo's is released in a format where everything is a continuation, and there's no such thing as a prequel.

I'm guessing the animation studio changed?

That gif looks like it was done by MADHOUSE.

Everything is done by Madhouse for Ippo. The original series is 12 years old as of the time it ended.

The anime speeds up the pacing and adds a lot of style to it. The original manga Part 1 turned into the anime benefits from the better artstyle, and from a lot of the reworked pacing, but I kinda wish they hadn't sped up the childhood drama angle that much.

2=4=7>1 first half > 6>3>1 second half >5>8

He would be cool, but I'm more hyped for Stroheim

 

[sjay1994]

So.... I am constantly watching montage parodies....

This pops in my inbox

Its an actual montage, and its more over the top than the parodies

Matt would love it 10/10

I'll main him. His moveset can just be a button for throwing his blade hat and a button for being afraid.

This is similar to my ranking but I would probably put 8 after 3.

It is the best Jojo OP and I will fight anyone who says anything different.

There is no wrong choice really, though

I want Part 8 to git gud. It's 3bizzare5me last I tried reading it. I'm gonna just take a break until it gets further along- so like half a year.
