>>266kek there's a ship like that in my main fandom too
No.1602
>>1601Johnny is cute!!! My favorite jojo, easily. I like his vulnerability, it feels pretty rare to have a male lead like that who doesn't feel childish or like a doormat. His relationship with Gyro is also excellent, the bromance is powerful and I will never not believe they fucked. I'm so glad it has so much screentime and really is the soul of SBR for me, best jojo part.

>>265based
as soon as i saw his character reveal, the first thing that came to my mind is how he was built to have lots of assbabies
No.2601
>>2600Dio is too evil to ship for me but otherwise I like part 1 the best too, I love that dark period piece romantic mood and Jonathan is the perfect man. Part 2 is okay too.
I think I had patience to read up to midway of part 5 when I tried to read all of them, didn't really care for the part 5 ensemble and just felt that it's not going to change to drastically better or worse or different from there, same ol same ol.
No.2602
>>2600Based jonadio nona. The happenings of part 3 and some lines Dio has (if you're looking) make this ship even more delicious
No.2622
I think I might be watching Battle Tendency wrong because Stroheim is my favorite character and I was HYPED to see him reappear.
I don't know, Ceaser and Joesph have clear homo vibes, but I don't care about each individually enough to ship. Almost done, got through the spoilery bits with Ceaser and I liked the parallels with his grandpa was a good character moment for him. Only 5 episodes left, might binge tomorrow to get to Stardust Crusaders.
I'm craving the promised Jonadio content
>>2602 No.2623
>>2622Stroheim is a crazy bitch and he's hilarious so I get it. I read part 1 to part 5 spoilers free so that helped. I wish I managed to avoid spoilers for part 6 too back then.
No.2625
>>2624What do you like about the pillar men Nonna? The outfits and aesthetic or something else?
I don't mind them, but I personally don't find them as engaging a villain as Dio so I'm curious to hear other opinions!
I think of them Whammu is my favorite and I like his noble admiration of Joesph and Ceaser, Kars abosultly wreacking the guys who were going to run over the dog and his respect for wildlife is pretty good too.
No.2626
>>2624>>2625Finished and wow Kars has a makeover! Definitely liked him most by the end overtaking Whammu. His powers were very cool and I liked the
shapeshifting strong finish for sure.
Started Stardust Crusaders and just finished the Polnareff episode so I think the main gang is all here? I'll need to give them time to interact with each other and see who I like best.
No.2704
>>2700Dang, that's too bad because they do seem to have the most textual-based ship right now. Again, not done yet so no spoilers please, but I haven't really seen Jotaro/Kakyoin interact much yet so I'm assuming there must be some scene near the end which explains all the ship art. Or maybe it's just because they're both students at the same school and it makes for a good no-powers AU. lol.Oh well, worst comes to worst I write the Avdol/Polnareff fic I want to see.
D'arby two-parter was fun liked that a lot and thought Jotaro really shined. He's not the most proactive protagonist so I appreciate him being forced into the spotlight. Only got 15ish episodes left, this part is so much longer than the other two. Big jump, though I guess it's easier to write monster-of-the-week compared to a more typical narrative.
No.2717
>>2704Done with Stardust Crusaders and I though the mansion bit was very good! I respect this series for having the guts to kill characters permanently though I actually thought they were going to fake out
Avdol's again. Also get absolutely rekt IggyIt was nice to see my man Dio again though I'm not sold on his final green-lipped design. Very different from his Victorian roots, same insane bastard energy though so I'm happy there.
Avdol/Polnareff still reigns as king of the SC ships for me, first there's the Judgement fight and then
Avdol literally dying saving Polnareff which is just PEAK survivors guilt angst material. I hope to find at least a few good stories of them. Jotaro also did grow on my during the second arch with both D'arby fights and the end with Dio. Probably my least favorite protagonist at the moment but I don't hate him, it's just compared to Joseph and Jonathan I just didn't find him as proactive.
Sadly still don't get the Jotaro/Kakyoin ship so I won't be feasting on that bountiful fandom pile. Like I see the inklings of a ship, and they had the bro-handshake, but Kakyoin barely does anything until the last few episodes and I don't have enough canon interactions to ship the two. Not for me I guess.
Hyped for Part 4 since I heard it's similar to best Persona game P4 and is a murder mystery. Will pop back in when I get a feel for the main cast.
No.2750
>>2746Glad you ended up liking part 4 even if it wasn't your favourite nonny! Kira is my favourite villain and Killer Queen my favourite stand and (leaving the reveal aside which I still think was done very poorly in the anime) I thought they adapted him very well overall to animated form. Part 4 is just so different to the rest of the series, it's more calm but the villain feels more menacing for how "realistic" he is.
I hope you enjoy part 5! It's Japan's favourite and I think probably the best adapated part.
No.2752
>>2750>Part 4 is just so different to the rest of the series, it's more calm but the villain feels more menacing for how "realistic" he is.Yeah, ruminating on it I think my expectations for it were off. I went in knowing there was a serial killer so I naturally assumed the whole thing would be murder mystery, but its much more small town shenanigans up until the end. There's a big tonal shift which I do like and it makes Kira more threatening especially during the part where he was assuming the role of
Kawajiri. You do need a sort of "calm before the storm," so the first half builds towards that even if I find it a bit unfocused.
>I hope you enjoy part 5! It's Japan's favourite and I think probably the best adapated part.Before I started watching them, 5 and part 3 this were the parts I saw the most fan art of, so it's going to be cool to finally see who these guys actually are! Will probably post here again when I get a feel for the characters. Though I ended up buying "Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe" so I'll end up watching that this week first.
No.2895
>>2843I've done a lot of Jojo-ing during the downtime. Finished both Vento Aureo and Stone Ocean which means I am done with the anime! Currently starting Steel Ball Run, not sure if I should go back and read the manga for the prior parts. I was going to ask
>>2750 before the downtime if you thought any parts were significantly better than the anime counterpart and worth checking out.
Second favorite part? Nay! Part 5 is my favorite right now easily, and I am in LOVE with Diavolo/Doppio. They have become my JoJo OTP I've consumed almost all their fanfics and still hunger for more. Might need to write something actually since I am fascinated by the mechanics of a relationship with their predicament and haven't seen enough stories that try to deal with it, besides copious amounts of phone sex fics of course. Non-shipping wise I'll just add that I just really love the main cast of 5, Bruno is my favorite, especially the plot involving him post first encounter with Diavolo, but all of them are likeable with the right level of goofiness and tragic backstories. Fantastic main cast, great pacing, great villains, hands down the best one for my money.
Anywho, Stone Ocean I'm very mixed on I loved Pucci and his relationship to Dio is great. It also is so canonically homoerotic with the added benefit of religious admiration thrown in, easily the highlight of the part for me, (Though Jonadio is still my preferred Dio ship lol). Unfortunately while I like Joylne and think her character growth through the series is very well paced compared to other Jojos I simple don't care much for the prison setting and don't care about most of the main cast sans Joylne and F.F. I also don't think most of the stand fights and villains are very interesting besides Boeheim Rhapsody and Foo Fighters. Much like Part 4 though I do like the second half significantly more and thought it got better as it went along.
Am not far enough into Steel Ball Run to have a strong opinion yet. Didn't realize Johnny was a cripple, that's interesting, wonder if he'll be cured before the series ends? Right now its just a lot of horse racing since I'm only on volume 2, I think Gyro has gotten more screentime than Johnny right now hoping once we hit the church they'll be time for the MC to develop a bit.
