I can actually imagine the Tonio episode being one of the best lol

I do think some might be a little put of by the SoL stuff and will be thinking ''okay, so when is something going to happen?'' until Kira makes his grand debut.

Also...screw everyone who calls it a P4 rip-off in advance. It was already bad enough to see a ''reviewer'' on this website call Stardust Crusaders a P4 rip-off and it wasn't just ignorance; their logic was that Persona is a spin-off of Shin Megami Tensei which is older than SC....funny thing is that going with that reasoning, Phantom Blood still came first so the argument is all the more invalid.

Which reviewer said this?

Also, I've heard that P4 is in fact based off of Part 4, so...

Probably how they beat Kira in the very end. And by that I mean that Jotaro (and I guess koichi too) are technically the ones to kill Kira and not Josuke. The fact that Jotaro was involved in the ultimate killing of Kira at all is annoying. I mean it's Josuke's story he should be the one to ultimately finish him off. Basically Jotaro is the one to off Kira because the whole way through the manga everyone's so deathly afraid of Jotaro's time stop and in the end when Jotaro is finally able to get one off on Kira/Kosaku he basically beats the main villain after Josuke NOT finishing Kira off. I mean obviously Jotaro nor did anyone really intentionally finish anyone off but it pissed me off reading the manga (especially considering I absolutely adored part 4 as a whole otherwise) how they kiss up to Jotaro to the point where he is one half (also Koichi) of the demise of Kira and Josuke isn't even the 2nd half of it. I still feel like Kira should have taken Jotaro out (I mean in the end to the point where Jotaro is out of the final fight, obviously he does Jotaro and Koichi in earlier) of the final fight and even if it was a combination attack of Josuke, Okuyasu, Koichi, and Rohan I think that'd been fine. Just felt really raw that they made Jotaro as important as they did. I mean I was hoping they'd let him pass the torch all the way but not before Jotaro puts the final nail in the villain of a story that's not even his lol.


But aside from that I think people might complain (imo unwarranted but they will) about the stuff that's a little more out there like ghosts and Mikitaka.

Kira's death was amazing it was just seeing this huge asshole and his plans getting unraveled gloriously from his "son" to Josuke to Jotaro and Koichi to Reimi finishing him off with the complete surround

Josuke characterization was that of an aggressive sounding/looking punk with an evil looking stand to match yet being the most kind and gentile Jostar no way he would straight up execute Kira Giorino/Johnny/Jotatro style

-Definitely more mentally challenged people complaining about motw while deciding to continue to watch said motw anime for 3 years and counting.

-The SoL thing is weird, it's something that can go both ways. Some people will like that more than it being 100% fights in the previous parts. The tone shift itself, well, I don't think there is that much of one. SC is pretty heavy on comedy and gags.

-Joseph is guaranteed rage material. People are going to flip when he's senile and doesn't fight at all, and then even more when it's revealed he cheated on Suzie Q.

-It being directionless in the first half is something I've seen manga people often say, so I imagine that will be a complaint. Kira is everywhere with Jojo related stuff so I assume most people have high expectations for him, and they might be annoyed when it's taking forever for him to show up. But those complaints should all but vanish once the ball gets rolling there.

No right and that's all well and good (also how many people did Jotaro actually kill besides Dio prior to part 4?). I'm not insinuating Josuke should've intentionally executed him. The way Kira died was great as a whole it's just Jotaro essentially killing the main villain in part 4 was a "oh are you F'ing kidding me?". He should've stayed uninvolved or incapacitated by Kira.

Also side note: I'm a Joseph fanboy myself but was fine with where he was as a character in part 4 considering he's had such a good run and had been the MC in part 2, kind of second-in-command/2nd place mentor in part 3, and is in the backdrop of part 4. Made sense to see Joseph like that in THAT old age. I mean Joseph can't be springy and young forever. We saw this guy basically live his whole life from when he was old to "i've fallen and I can't get up" age. He can't be happy rappy yoro piku-ne Joseph forever. Also the fact that his own son is the MC of part 4 kind of made me feel better about it.

-That it's even more episodic than stardust crusaders.
-The final fight is anti climatic.
-The ED song is shit.
-Where's the plot?
-Part 2 is better.

What? I think it's much less episodic than Part 3, almost all of the stand user they fight appear again later on, so you never get the feeling that a chapter was filler.

After Tamami and Hazamada fights against Koichi the characters suddendly shrink from being as tall as Josuke to bring shorter than Koichi himself. The explanation that the fanbase usually give is that is a metaphor for them being humble down by the manly manly Koichi

Part 3 accomplishes almost nothing too and it's NOT slice of life. That's even worse if you ask me.

It wraps up the vampire arc while simultaneously transitioning to a new and more interesting type of superpower. Oh and I guess they save Holly, too. Hooray. =P

Slice of life series usually suck, but Jojo Part 4 is one of the few exceptions to that rule, because it's still mostly insane wall-to-wall fighting.

I know one guy who did just that. He had done a Live Reaction to episode 1 of SC with the woman who handles CrunchyRoll's Twitter, and didn't previously see any of the other JoJo parts.

I thought the video itself was bad enough, but then I saw the dozens of comments calling him a "moeshit eater" and saying that he "only likes moeshit". "Moeshit" vs. "Manime" is probably one of the most tired and bipolar anime-related mindsets these days

I'm surprised there's so much emphasis on Jotaro in the possible complaints.

I hardly cared for him in 4 while best Jojo was around.

At least second to Joseph.

The story moves like a fat granny sitting on a scooter, lack of important character death, and the overall thing is too SOL, not enough GAR and action to stave off the inevitable realization of nihilism.

They will complain it's no longer a "manly" anime that will "save anime". Apparently forgetting Stardust Crusaders ended two decades ago, and what they were basically seeing was vision of a past that will never return.

In order of perceived offensiveness:

1) The drastic artstyle shift (Jotaro in particular)
2) Where in Morioh is the plot going and where is the main villain?
3) Senile Joseph and the reveal that Joseph cheated on Suzy Q
4) Some of the weaker Stand "fights"
5) Rohan being a polarising character (he was basically a sociopath when first introduced)

Special mention to Josuke's shitty hair :p
