David production has really dropped the ball on quality since the end of the egypt arc. I didn't even watch part 4 and just finished the manga yesterday.

I would argue that it's not the characters trying to be quirky, but the author himself deliberately writing a world in which quirky stuff just happens, and the characters reflect that. As for people stating the obvious, that's a carry over from exposition in manga panels, it's needed since powers in jojo get pretty convoluted, and scenes that aren't fights tend to centre around a specific detail or piece of trivia that araki's stumbled across. Also, similar to how adaptations of 4-koma manga tend to have a stop-start feel to them, jojo has a very specific "3 beats per page" rhythm, where very page has a beggining-middle-end structure even if there's more or less than 3 panels, such as:

The right page's rhythm is question-answer-scene change, while the left page's rhythm is movement-dialogue-setup. This rhythm often requires dialogue in order to work, so there you go.

What in the fuck were you expecting?

It's one of those "it's retarded on purpose so you can't hate on it" shows.

Nah you're thinking of stephen universe. JJBA is one of those "It's a genre piece that should be held to it's genre's standards". You don't criticize a comedy for not being scary, that's stupid.

And besides, everyone hates part 5, everyone thinks part 1 is weak, there's a big consensus that part 3 was kind of shit for the first half and that half takes way too long anyway. And in every single part there's plenty of legitimate criticism to have, like dropped plot lines, deux ex machinas, redundant characters/events. And if you really want to stretch it, the habbit of characters either being out of the loop or completely on point, is a little hard to believe.

But that's wrong

Weeb opinions don't matter.

People that want all of human life to end aren't known to have good opinions either.

The parent does not concern herself with the opinions of her children--only that she knows what's best for them.

dont do that

The responsible parent, anyway. I realize there's none too many of those.

There's more to it than that

The parent does not concern herself with the opinions of her children--only that she knows what's best for them.

And each generation finds, after little time, that their parents are wrong, and those opinions become reliquary.

That's how we as a society keep moving forward.

Not that you're equitable to a parent anyway, nor will you ever be.

Which part are you on? Part 4?

If you're on Part 1, it's usually considered to be one of the worst ones (anime and manga). Shortest too, though, so you won't have to wait long to get to the glory that is Battle Tendency.

If you're on Part 1, it's usually considered to be one of the worst ones (anime and manga).

Of course it is!

If the first part is shit, the whole thing is shit. As a writer, you have one job.

Not gonna lie, all the crazy Stands are the only thing JoJo really has going for it. Araki's pulling bullshit out his ass left and right, but it's awesome bullshit, so I can deal.

I wish the series hadn't devolved into nothing but Stands though. Parts 1 and 2 read like a completely different story.
