>>31088843>It's a bunch of burly men glowering while having to deal with bizarre circumstances and putting their minds and wills against each other.This is honestly one of the best explanations as to the overall appeal to JoJo, but IMO I feel like JoJo excels in not only its aesthetics (the bright, engaging colors juxtaposing off of men who look like they come straight out of a Mr. universe catalog), the clever applications of Hamon or Stand powers, but just the sheer fucking absurdity of it all. I know it sounds fucking stupid to say a manga literally called "Bizarre Adventures" has its strong points in having bizarre adventures but how in the actual fuck do you describe some of the arcs without it sounding at least somewhat engaging on a scale of how nutty it all is?
Part I has the protagonist battling Vampires and zombies which is the most tame since its the very beginning
Part II has the protagonist fight Aztec demi-god vampire men (or whatever the fuck they were) with one of the main fights being a chariot race and another one of the antagonists getting blown into outer fucking space by a volcano
Part III introduces stands which is an entirely different facet of crazy on its own, but this part is honestly somewhat tame too, but then you still get shit like a fucking Gorilla with a literal ship as a stand, Oingo Boingo (just fucking watch this shit), and at least 3 of the most engaging parts being a series of gambles, playing fucking videogames and a fight between a bird and a dog
I'm currently on Part 4 right now, and I'm just blown away by the fact that the current main villain is hiding away in gymnasium in order to steal back the severed hand he put in a bag because a middle schooler mistook it for his lunch. Again, I know, it's stupid to try and say that the "LOL XD SO RANDUM" shit that goes on is somehow a positive, but it just fucking is
