none of the adaptations have really captured the barely-parsable expressive chaos of the source material tremendously well but pacing was not a problem with the david prod stuff imo, never a slog
itās true but stardust crusaders honestly sucks and I wanted to keep watching
I rather enjoyed Where In The World Is Dio Brandiego
Battle Tendency is still the best arc though

yeah well I utterly adored the first two chapters and I havenāt watched A New Anime Series in probably a decade so I hardly disagree so far
Back in the day Part 3 was the spark that most people were guided to for getting in. At least for people like me who just wanted a comic with a strong dynamic hook for the powers and fights. Stands where very different. The power was outside the character and was also a different character in some cases. Even in 1 on 1 fights, each fighter was fighting in tandem with another body. Stands were also a way to draw more info out of a character from seeing how it reflected of the stand owner. So even in a Monster of the Week set up each enemy had presence and you could extrapolate enough to get a feel of their character.
I do enjoy the tone and weightiness of the OVA but you miss some things and Oingo and Boingo should not be excluded.

Ok my take on the OVA is that itās fine except idk why the prequel OVA (the second production in 2000) was one episode longer than the original 1993 production because its pacing ground out in a very avoidable way and hol horse just fell off like they didnāt know how to compact that story anyway, and in spite of all that it winds up developing Polnareff more than Jotaro? itās like they only storyboarded 2/3 of it
Also both battle tendency and diamond is unbreakable are way better than stardust crusaders, I do not understand at all how stardust crusaders was the big breakout success

oh the 2000s OVA is trash and is exactly what people were describing the original OVA as

i definitely felt like the closer i got to the end of part 3, the more i wanted it to hurry up and end. i love jotaro but getting to the climax of that part was painful. i love part 2 because of the villains more so than because of joseph.
( iām a ceasar stan. thatās just how it is )
i thought joseph was annoying at first but by the end i was rooting for him.
no villian captured my heart like kars did though.
part 4 was my favorite until i read part 6. josuke is top tier and iāve been repping him forever so i guess me saying that is no surprise. iāve been thinking of rewatching the entire series again but what stops me every time is realizing that i have to go through part 3 again and i just. . .do not want to.
itās not even that i think itās bad! itās just too long! too long!
i could always skip it and go straight to 4 but iām not sure if my brain will allow this.
heās just so salty and doesnāt take any shit
i can respect that
ok so jojo goes from fist of the north star to dragonball z to final fantasy to doctor who
canāt wait to find out what contemprary series vento aureo rips off
I didnāt like caesar because he is friends with nazis
the nazis were funny though

well this is just an excellent effort really
OK I have decided that the ideal stardust crusaders watch order is
2000 OVA episodes 1-3
david production episode 8-24
1993 OVA episodes 1-6
this keeps the personality and the pacing in balance, doesnāt create continuity issues, and maximizes the best of it
youāre welcome
