A great and timeless anime

atehsin

This anime certainly lives up to the bizarreness of its title.So the show from Part 1 to 3revolves around multiple generations of a family called the Joestars fighting various supernatural threats.Firstly the art is worthy of praise a semi realistic semi exaggerated style that's rarely seen in anime.The animation is quite standard up to part two but begins flowing with energy from part three.The story is quite straightforward about strong guys fighting monsters.This predictability certainly weighs down part 1 but that contains a character arc and an unexpected ending to push it above most Shounen.Part 2 onwards the techniques and strategy used in a fight are so creative and bizarre you are guaranteed to be entertained.The humour always hits well which is rare for a Shounen and the characters reactions are a joy to watch.The characters themselves are never bad throughout the series but it's only after Part 1 where they truly shine.A 9/10 in my opinion for a good but not great start but an otherwise fantastic series.Definitely check it out.

score 9/10
