I am a long-time lover of philosophy and storytelling in anime, and enjoy doing deep analysis on anime as a literary exercise. Despite this, I have never understood the extreme appeal that this show seems to have for my fellow yonkers. I watched the original run of Jojo years ago and didn't like it at all. At the time, I felt very strongly that the show was almost all style, with very little substance to analyze, and separately that [Hirohiko Araki] is one of the most overrated Japanese writers of all time. With all the hype surrounding the show, and many people here considering it one of the best anime to come out in the the last decade, however, I considered for a long time that I might simply be wrong about the series. During a recent, late-night shitposting spree, wherein I expressed my extreme distaste for the original run, I was highly encouraged to give the series a second shot by some local [Jojofags] who claimed to have my sense of taste in mind.
