So I started watching Jojo's 2012 today. Got halfway through Phantom Blood (I'm not much of a marathon watcher, so yeah). I give it a 7/10 so far, but I'm withholding judgment on the series as a whole until I get to part 2 or 3, especially cause the friend who's getting me into Jojo's has told me that Phantom Blood is one of the weaker parts.

And somehow, somewhere, Johnathan is too much in awe that his ripped genes still exist in all their glory a century later to care. I almost don't think anything would shock him anymore after Phantom Blood.
Speaking of, liked it a lot; the show was tonally inconsistent to the moon and back and it knew it, and the battles were grounded enough to be both superhuman and clever.
Spoiler:
That ending, ow, my heart; and seeing Dio so simultaneously livid and "...You're a magnificent bastard, you know that?" at Johnathan's perfect salvaging of that nightmare- wow.
It honestly has me dreading the absurdity of later parts, more post-Stardust than anything,
Spoiler:
since Araki has stands do everything but turn the kitchen sink into pastrami bullets that sing Icelandic Reggae (Well someone is having too much fun) to keep that diversity going- and he reset the continuity to get out of it
. Will get to Battle Tendency in the near future.

Done Vento Aureo. Will read gain with better scans and translations as soon as they become available.
Man, it's a good/decent part, and I really like the Italian setting (back to Europe lol) but some of the fights dragged out too much (Grateful Dead+Beach Boy was good, but it was really long. Same goes to probably Green Day and Oasis. Though Metallica vs Doppio was really cool). And lol at KC and GER powers.
Spoiler:
It was sad to see one of my fav designed Stands, Silver Chariot become into Requiem and killed off basically.
I'd rate it a 7.5, cause the main cast's Stands are actually cool. Moody Blues and Sticky Fingers particularly. And I enjoyed Sex Pistols' interaction, Aerosmith's ability, Trish is hot, and Gold Experience...A combination of Kars and DIO, but good lol

Finished Jojo's 2012. Part 2 is easily a 9/10, if not a 9.5. The ending especially was amazing. Gonna catch up on Stardust Crusaders anime soon.

Battle Tendency is the best shounen I've read (Thanks Joseph). But Stardust will be the one part that actually has the best feeling of adventure in the series imo.
Besides we havent even seen yet the full capabilities of Stands. Both their applications rather than basic powers and their arsepulllol abilities.
All in good time my friends.
