Thanks for watching y'all! Just letting you know that I didn't watch the variant OP's because I didn't know they existed! I might do a separate video reacting to them or might leave them for the anime reactions when we get to them for context. Thanks so much for watching, and look out for that Jojo Manga video coming out over here soon! 💜🧞
@@tuexiazz I don't think you've seen enough JoJo opening reactions. No one minds if they're spoilery at this point, since they have no context and will easily forget what happens there. I've yet to see one reactor whose enjoyment was ruined by watching all JoJo OPs first; watching variants are the norm and it completes the package of reacting to JoJo OPs. Anyone who disagrees seem to not have watched any other JoJo reactions. This is literally the most common way reactors watch JoJo.
I've noticed a lot of the tiny lucky guesses in this video, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, since they were clearly natural, but makes me wonder if he has some soothsaying powers or something... I'm speaking nonsense, aren't I?
The JoJo anime and manga experiences are VERY different, coming from someone who's both read and watched all of JoJos. Despite the story being almost the same in both versions (with some minor exclusions, rearrangements or additions made by the anime), the experience is very different. Both the anime and manga versions of the story make full use of their medium. Araki's art is jawdropping and mesmerising in the manga, and David Production's animation work is fantastic in the TV anime adaptation.
Dio's Kakyoin moment was shocking, even though I've watched it in anime. The utilisation of subjective time in the manga format is something I've never seen before.
Also, anything Araki didn't like or wanted to change in the anime from the manga. He took full advantage of a second chance and hindsight to make it the best viewing experiences he could help provide.
Yeah I think it started from persona 3 onwards correct me if I’m wrong and I believe the creator of persona stated jojos was a huge inspiration for him
Persona 1, 2 and the second 2 had personas as well, they just looked and functioned a little different from the later games. I have no idea whether persona or jojo part 3 came first though Edit, literally just took 2 seconds to Google it, part 3 was before the persona series
The art director for the Persona series and the author of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure are friends. Jojo "Stands" have existed for longer than Personas, but Jojo does not claim the origin of spiritual manifestations or anything.
I mean, I hear a lot of people say that, but considering its length, I don't really see a problem with the pacing. Besides, watching reactors go from "I don't know why people were saying that stuff in the comments, this is a bit weird, but fun" in Part 1, to "WTF am I watching?!" in Part 2 is always priceless XD
Because of that, i almost dropped the anime after 4 episodes. If an ex boyfriend didnt tell me that it gets "better" after seeing it all, i wouldnt be here. And, after that, everytime i recommend jojo's, i advice that even if the first season is so boring or slow, it makes sense to some things on the series (as "from which hole dio's came" or "what's the origin of the hamon").
I started the first part by myself and dropped it after a few episodes. Then my sister told me it really gets interesting in part 2, so we finished the first together to make it lighter, and thank god we did. But part 1 is kinda hard to get into, I always tell new people to keep it in mind before judging the whole series and give it a try.
You missed the speical openings for part 3,4,5 and 6 this video didn't show them, there's an extra opening for part three that you need to see, there's a remixed version of the part 4 opening, there are 3 versions of second part 5 opening and there's a another version of the second opening for part 6 (Eddit: Damn I didn't see pinned sry)
My intro to JOJO's was a recommendation from my brother. Fell asleep to the first episode about 10 times.(I was working mad overtime at the time, so I was always tired, and was trying to get back to watching anime after a 2 year break.) Came back to it once I figured out a time when I can watch shows when I'm not tired, and oh boy did it deliver! Been hooked on both the show and the manga since! One of my personal favorites, along with Berserk, and Mushishi. Hope you enjoy it😊
Love seeing some JoJo representation. I've been a fan of the series for about 20 years, and it's easily my favorite piece of fiction of all time. Also, fun fact, the JoJo manga is longer than One Piece.
I still have no idea how in the world the JoJo manga is longer than One Piece, when the majority of it is animated and it’s soooo much shorter than One Piece
@@Tsuwave A mix of no filler, less time-wasting, and the fact that the two longest parts haven't been adapted yet. When you consider that, it's really not that surprising of a gap.
"If there's like mild Gore in this I'm here." As an enjoyer of many animes I must say parts 4&5 made me go into audible gagging fits with some of the fights and death scenes (looking at you Risotto vs Doppio) to be fair they're also some of my favorite fight and death scenes so it's not just gory for the sake of gory
I used to be really annoyed when they didn't show the 2nd/3rd variation of an opening, but now i see it as they can now enjoy the show and manga a lot more
As both a Bleach and Jojo fan, I'm stoked you're getting into Jojo. In fact, my main takeaway after reading Jojo was "that explains so much about Bleach and a lot of 90s manga" just like how Bleach influenced a lot of modern shounen now. Not gonna lie, I'm also a bit disappointed you didn't see the opening variants but it's fine if you don't want to watch them.
Basically, those "Personas" are called Stands. They're the manifestation of one's fighting spirit and they can have varied forms/shapes, as well as a varied list of powers/abilities. They were introduced in Part 3, and most likely inspired Persona, since Jojo Part 3 came way before. The Stands themselves have a few rules: -Only Stand users can see Stands (but there are exceptions, like Stands linked to objects) -Only Stands can interact with other Stands (but again, there are exceptions) -Whenever the Stand gets hurt, the user also takes the damage in most cases (unless it's an object-linked Stand or an automatic Stand) -Stand users naturally attract each other, whether positively or otherwise
@joaoLucask Basics of stand rules: -only stand users can see other stands (except for when they don’t) -Only stands can harm other stands (except for when they don’t) -and all damage done to a stand will reflect the user (except for when they don’t) If you can guess the reference you get a cookie
@@LKTVLKTV The anime may be newer (2010s), because of the weirdness of the story and artstyle, some less than stellar attempts at previous adaptations, and how Jojo's manga handles copyrighted stuff in the story, but the manga is actually from 1987
@LKTVLKTV JoJo's manga was in 1987 and had an OVA in the early 90s and then made their anime that we know of in 2012. The Persona series started around 1996 and it's premise for summoning the Personas were based off the JoJo Stands in a similar of how they are a manifestation of the user's fighting spirit/true self.
The idea of someone who couldn't care less about a series to even get through 1 episode, then spending a bunch of money on manga volumes is rather amusing to me.
As for the dropping jojo thing, I completely understand. I actually dropped the show for like a year because I also couldn't get past part one. It was only when my friend encouraged me to contuine that I gave it another shot and holy crap has it become one of my top 10 favourite anime. It's genuinely one of the most unique shows I've ever had the pleasure of watching. It's hard to explain, but as you watch jojos, there's a part where you just "get" it. Like at some point you're like, "Oh *now* I understand why this show is so popular." That moment can be as early as part 2 or as late as part 5. For some that moment never happens and that's fine as the show isn't for everyone, but I'd encourage you to give it another shot if you wish to!
I was in the same boat as you 😂 during quarantine, I watched ten minutes of the first episode before turning it off. I then waited 2 years before getting back into it. It's one of my favorite animes now, it's amazing. I'd highly recommend it but you just have to be in the correct mindset to start.
Prob a bit late, but Persona/Shin Megami is the way it is partially because of JoJo. JoJo is really old now and was an inspiration for many stand like powers
In the Manga it's literally the other way around with art style. The artstyle changed sooooo much over the years. If you just compare part 1 with the newer parts it's a complete different thing
Its funny that since you got the manga for part 1 and 2, you can literally get the pages where the openings for part 1 and 2 reference the manga and it is really impressive
37:33 the 80s was a big shift. Talking about a 10 year period in entertainment is a lot. While dragon ball and dragon ball z (same thing manga wise) handle designs a bit differently, the 80s, and most series from the 80s were inspired by the bodybulding craze that we have seen grow in hollywood, with charaters like Schazzenegger, Silvester Stallone and the like, and that were phased out in the 90s, when Naruto, Bleach and One Piece came out, while also considering that these 3 latter animes have very different desing phisolophies. one thing that you might figure out as you experience the series, is that Araki is a big lover of both classic art, be it painting, sculpture and other forms of art. He was always drawn to western culture. I will leave it just at that and let you find out the rest by yourself.
The art style is definitely interesting. It does shift from early parts to later parts. Early parts guys are VERY much the super muscular tough guy build (I believe the author was inspired by movie stars at the time like Clint Eastwood and Sylvester Stallone. Later parts the characters (especially the guys) have a lot more variety in shapes. Part 4 I believe is around when this transition happens where the beginning of part 4 Josuke is super buff and then slims down a bit as it continues.
The characters are jacked af in the earlier Seasons because that was suuuuuuper popular in the '80s. The '80s was a time when every other manga was about big muscular men fighting for justice (with a lot of yelling too). Jonathan's character is an homage to Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) (where the "NANI!?" meme comes from).
The popular piano op is from Giorno's (the mc of part 5) theme. Also, each parts have a different JoJo, which are descendants of the Joestar bloodline: 1: Jonathan Joestar 2: Joseph Joestar 3: Jotaro Kujo 4: Josuke Higashikata 5:Giorno Giovanna 6: Jolyne Cujoh
My top 5 favorite shounens (and the reasons I like them): 1) Undead Unluck (worldbuilding and drama) 2) JOJO (epic battles and atmosphere) 3) One Piece (world changing story) 4) Hunter X Hunter (character development) 5) Bleach (philosophy of world and characters) And I am a manga reader.
i remember giving jojo's a try a lot of years ago but dropped it bc the first episodes were so boring to me, then some years later i watched it with a friend of mine and started to like it, we stopped watching it mid part 3 and then i tried to watch the rest by myself and here we are, it became my fave anime lol. I will always recommend people to give it another try if they dropped it even if the first part might bore you, everyone starts loving it after part 2 or 3 so be patient and it will get good! Tho i have to say that after watching it a few times from part 1 i began to like part 1 as well, i used to say that it is slow and boring but it actually has a very fast pacing and a good freaking plot, but i can understand how people get overwhelmed by the fast pacing of the 9 first episodes, but they're SO good, love this masterpiece, i'll never regret giving it another try
@@yes.3813It is for a lot of people. This isn't to discourage them to skip/rush Part 1, but to stick out till Part 2 because some people literally stop at Part 1, which is stupid but that's more of the reason why this reminder should be here.
@@yes.3813 When so much better anime exist it is. Part 1 is not bad, but in my opinion it is very mediocre, and with so many other shows it is easy to drop it. But it’s worth it, part two immediately is much more interesting.
Jojo as an anime is really one of the greatest adaptations that has ever been done. It's not a perfect one to one with the Manga, though they never change anything that matters. But what they change and add takes advantage of what anime can do that Manga can't, especially with sound and music. Its also great in that each story is so unique from the previous part, its constantly refreshing itself.
I used to be the same way about jojo. I refused to watch it because so many anime’s I tried that were hyped up ended up not being to my liking. When I finally watched jojo though, I got invested. The art, stories, humor, drama, music, and everything in general is top notch, and after watching it it’s easy to see it’s impact on culture to this day. Honestly, it’s worth a watch for anyone willing to try it.
Personally I think Part 1 and Part 2 are significantly worse in the manga than in the anime. Manga is way slower paced, horrendously so (Part 1: 50 chapters vs 9 episodes), and in many ways it's also like an old video game, the quality of life features we're used to are not there. A lot of 80s manga fluff. One could argue the anime was rushed, but it's more like it made it more streamline and easier to get through. On the other hand I think Part 3 is way better in the manga, because the pacing is faster and the story is told with more finesse. Honestly the opposite of the first two parts.
@@LKTVLKTV Yeah, don't let this dissuade you. I still think the manga is good. And extremely unique from what you usually find around. Jojo is a weird franchise because mega fans can hate certain parts with an extreme passion, then live and breathe another.
Yeah for sure! Definitely not dissuaded but I have been for a long time because like you perfectly say - some hate some parts with a passion but gush over others so I’ve always been so confused about which way I want to go about it if ever. Appreciate the level headed-ness and kindness man! Looking forward to diving in 🥹
ok holy shit it goes even further, almost everything he says is accurate to an extent and he totally understands why everybody loves it just from the intros. Pretty rare in reactors bro
My man you missed the different versions of several openings tho maybe you're better without them because they are spoilers about the part villain's power
Yeah I learned about this in retrospect and have the people who made this video for me to thank haha - I'd rather not be spoiled on it I dont think hey!
Yesss to the Jojo manga. As much as I respect the anime adaptation, the manga form is absolutely incredible and I prefer it to the anime. It would be fun to see your opinion as a person who hasn't watched the show
I was one of those guy who judged it by art style cuz it completly different from other anime. One day i was asking friend if he iwatch anime and he told me his favorite is Jojo so i just gave it a chance. And im glad i did cuz i rly like it 😊
if you look to it, there's a difference among these op. all op is in 2.5ish D(or its just CG), but the op for part 4 and 5 are just in our regular animation
Okay so first off welcome to JoJo’s. I like going around and making stands for people just because I like inventing cool concepts. I could do one for you and it’s free
Jojo is awesomeeee❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥 I like reading the manga as well. You can’t base what you watch or read as thinking the whole series is the same because each part is so diffrent. One thing is that people see references to the newer parts and then watch part one and are like “what does this have to do with anything with what I saw?” Then they don’t watch it
I think it might not be a good choice to start from season 1 since the story was more traditional (boring) and in fact I quitted after 10minutes watching the first episode 🤣🤣 I personally like season 3 the best, this was where I start finding fun and being more emotionally related. I think many others start knowing jojo from the anime of season 3 too. No one could say no to Star Platinum！
@LKTVLKTV If you read the first part, will you try to watch it someday? I know u fell asleep when u first tried jojo (if Im not mistaken), but maybe next time u be full involved in this bizzare adventure. It was the same thing for me, 5 minutes I got bored, but few month later I give it a chance and its one of the best animes I've ever seen.
JoJo starts off fairly slow, I would say Part 1 is easily the weakest part of JoJo by far and while many jojo fans would say it's still good, I personally disagree heavily. Part 2 (which starts with episode 10) is where it starts getting good imo, and Part 3 is where it finds a unique and key concept that will be prevalent and important throughout the all the rest of the parts of JoJo. I would say you should at least finish Part 3 before you give your judgement on JoJo as a whole. Edit: if that sounds way too overwhelming or too long of an investment of time, then just get to Part 2 (which starts at episode 10), I think right from the start of Part 2, you'll get what I mean, I don't want to spoil too much by telling you why that is the case but you'll figure it out yourself once you get there.
It's weird which opening variants the video you used skipped and which they kept, but I'll have to finish watching to see if it really harms the big cool variants
Jojo is the type of franchise that keeps getting better with newer parts . My fav.jojo part is stone ocean final season ( part 6 ) in terms of anime. I rec you check out Fanmade Jojo part 7 and 8 OPs , they're super popular with Millions of views.
Part 1 is really just a lot of buildup for the next part/s. It can be slow, but also has some good moments. If you intend to watch the series, I'd advise you to not watch the alternate editions of the intros if you care about spoilers
To watch an anime like JOJO is literally to just turn your brain off the Bizzar means just what it is it's an anime that subverts expectations one minute you'll go into it thinking wtf am I watching bro to end up being fully immersed as each part goes on
It was a conscious decision in order not to ‘spoil’ and honestly I respect it haha. Either way this was just meant for me to go a little further than toe deep and get the ball rolling and I’m grateful that this video served its purpose for me regardless haha
Your JoJo opening reactions are on point! 🎉 The creativity and uniqueness of each opening never cease to amaze me, and watching you experience them for the first time adds a whole new layer of excitement. The way you break down the visuals and connect them to the story is pure gold. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure truly knows how to set the tone with its openings. Can't wait for your reactions to the later parts - the craziness just keeps getting better! Like, comment, and subscribed for more epic JoJo journeys! 🌈 #JoJoOpenings #StandTunes
i dont understand why youtubers put that little thing on the video that makes it so we cant record the openings, it's accesable on youtube and pirating.
Sad you missed the best parts, opening of part 3 4 5 and I think 6 have different versions, relating to where you are in the part, so later in part 4, Kira uses Bite The Dust to reverse time by an hour, so when its at that part in the anime, the op at the end has Kira pressing the button, reversing the whole song.

While dragon ball and dragon ball z (same thing manga wise) handle designs a bit differently, the 80s, and most series from the 80s were inspired by the bodybulding craze that we have seen grow in hollywood, with charaters like Schazzenegger, Silvester Stallone and the like, and that were phased out in the 90s, when Naruto, Bleach and One Piece came out, while also considering that these 3 latter animes have very different desing phisolophies.
one thing that you might figure out as you experience the series, is that Araki is a big lover of both classic art, be it painting, sculpture and other forms of art. He was always drawn to western culture. I will leave it just at that and let you find out the rest by yourself.
The art style is definitely interesting. It does shift from early parts to later parts. Early parts guys are VERY much the super muscular tough guy build (I believe the author was inspired by movie stars at the time like Clint Eastwood and Sylvester Stallone. Later parts the characters (especially the guys) have a lot more variety in shapes. Part 4 I believe is around when this transition happens where the beginning of part 4 Josuke is super buff and then slims down a bit as it continues.
The characters are jacked af in the earlier Seasons because that was suuuuuuper popular in the '80s.
The '80s was a time when every other manga was about big muscular men fighting for justice (with a lot of yelling too). Jonathan's character is an homage to Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) (where the "NANI!?" meme comes from).
The popular piano op is from Giorno's (the mc of part 5) theme. Also, each parts have a different JoJo, which are descendants of the Joestar bloodline: 1: Jonathan Joestar 2: Joseph Joestar 3: Jotaro Kujo 4: Josuke Higashikata 5:Giorno Giovanna 6: Jolyne Cujoh
10:35 - Persona was inspired by JoJo.
Nice reaction! I might show up if you're going to stream your reaction to part 3.
My top 5 favorite shounens (and the reasons I like them):
1) Undead Unluck (worldbuilding and drama)
2) JOJO (epic battles and atmosphere)
3) One Piece (world changing story)
4) Hunter X Hunter (character development)
5) Bleach (philosophy of world and characters)
And I am a manga reader.
Undead Unluck worldbuilding is insane for a planet centric world, and I love it
“If there’s like mild gore in it, I’m down.”
Doppio’s razor blade incident-
"If theres like, mild gore in this im here, im ready" hahahaha yeah.. mild...
Dropping Jojo halfway through the first episode is insane. Bro quit before any of the bizarreness even happened lol
34:22 ironic that pucci was on screen as he said that
i remember giving jojo's a try a lot of years ago but dropped it bc the first episodes were so boring to me, then some years later i watched it with a friend of mine and started to like it, we stopped watching it mid part 3 and then i tried to watch the rest by myself and here we are, it became my fave anime lol. I will always recommend people to give it another try if they dropped it even if the first part might bore you, everyone starts loving it after part 2 or 3 so be patient and it will get good! Tho i have to say that after watching it a few times from part 1 i began to like part 1 as well, i used to say that it is slow and boring but it actually has a very fast pacing and a good freaking plot, but i can understand how people get overwhelmed by the fast pacing of the 9 first episodes, but they're SO good, love this masterpiece, i'll never regret giving it another try
Wait! He didn't see End of the World ver2? Nnaaaah
It is hard to get past part 1 of jojo, but later parts are amazing. Jojo anime is peak.
Keen to check more of it out that’s for sure man!
It's not hard stop lying
@@yes.3813 For casual viewers that needs to choose shows wisely it's very easy to stop watching part 1
@@yes.3813It is for a lot of people. This isn't to discourage them to skip/rush Part 1, but to stick out till Part 2 because some people literally stop at Part 1, which is stupid but that's more of the reason why this reminder should be here.
@@yes.3813 When so much better anime exist it is. Part 1 is not bad, but in my opinion it is very mediocre, and with so many other shows it is easy to drop it. But it’s worth it, part two immediately is much more interesting.
Jojo as an anime is really one of the greatest adaptations that has ever been done. It's not a perfect one to one with the Manga, though they never change anything that matters. But what they change and add takes advantage of what anime can do that Manga can't, especially with sound and music. Its also great in that each story is so unique from the previous part, its constantly refreshing itself.
I used to be the same way about jojo. I refused to watch it because so many anime’s I tried that were hyped up ended up not being to my liking. When I finally watched jojo though, I got invested. The art, stories, humor, drama, music, and everything in general is top notch, and after watching it it’s easy to see it’s impact on culture to this day. Honestly, it’s worth a watch for anyone willing to try it.
8:40 he nailed it
The first person I've seen who didn't immediately think Caesar was Dio!
Personally I think Part 1 and Part 2 are significantly worse in the manga than in the anime. Manga is way slower paced, horrendously so (Part 1: 50 chapters vs 9 episodes), and in many ways it's also like an old video game, the quality of life features we're used to are not there. A lot of 80s manga fluff. One could argue the anime was rushed, but it's more like it made it more streamline and easier to get through.
On the other hand I think Part 3 is way better in the manga, because the pacing is faster and the story is told with more finesse.
Honestly the opposite of the first two parts.
Nice to know! I’m keen to see what the manga is going be like regardless but can’t wait to come back and let you guys know what I thought!
@@LKTVLKTV Yeah, don't let this dissuade you. I still think the manga is good. And extremely unique from what you usually find around.
Jojo is a weird franchise because mega fans can hate certain parts with an extreme passion, then live and breathe another.
Yeah for sure! Definitely not dissuaded but I have been for a long time because like you perfectly say - some hate some parts with a passion but gush over others so I’ve always been so confused about which way I want to go about it if ever.
Appreciate the level headed-ness and kindness man! Looking forward to diving in 🥹
I haven’t read the manga, but part 1 definitely felt rushed as an anime. It felt like a how to tell a story speedrun.
A classic I recommend watching is Yu Yu Hakusho. It recently got a live action adaptation. And, it's a rare example where the dub is spectacular.
Rare is crazy to say
Persona was actually inspired by JoJo
bro has the EXACT reaction that I'd expect from someone who will become one of us lol
ok holy shit it goes even further, almost everything he says is accurate to an extent and he totally understands why everybody loves it just from the intros. Pretty rare in reactors bro
Jojo is goated for inspiring 80% of anime dawg 😭🙏. Persona included.
I usually watch your kpop reactions I had no idea you had also made reactions for jojo, that’s my favorite anime so it makes me glad you did!!
25:49 Ok...who is the dude with the green hair...daaaamn!😮
Yep, pretty much everyones reaction when first watching Part 4, best boy right there✒️✒️
GGs buying the manga!
Superior to the anime in like every way.
Literally slept on it
jojo inspired persona, demonslayer and streetfighter to name a few things it has inspired
My man you missed the different versions of several openings tho maybe you're better without them because they are spoilers about the part villain's power
Yeah I learned about this in retrospect and have the people who made this video for me to thank haha - I'd rather not be spoiled on it I dont think hey!
kinda ironic that the art makes you get into the show, most ppl get turned off by the art and completely js ignore the show
Yeah the art is really important to me haha
8:38 its their teacher
Yesss to the Jojo manga. As much as I respect the anime adaptation, the manga form is absolutely incredible and I prefer it to the anime. It would be fun to see your opinion as a person who hasn't watched the show
As a wise man once said, watching jojos bizzarw adventure part 1 and not the rest is like eating the peels of an orange and throwing the rest away
I was one of those guy who judged it by art style cuz it completly different from other anime. One day i was asking friend if he iwatch anime and he told me his favorite is Jojo so i just gave it a chance. And im glad i did cuz i rly like it 😊
Also " ROADROLLER DAAA!!!!!"
if you look to it, there's a difference among these op. all op is in 2.5ish D(or its just CG), but the op for part 4 and 5 are just in our regular animation
Those variants are amazing too , I Hope u react to them Soon.
Okay so first off welcome to JoJo’s. I like going around and making stands for people just because I like inventing cool concepts. I could do one for you and it’s free
Jojo is awesomeeee❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
I like reading the manga as well.
You can’t base what you watch or read as thinking the whole series is the same because each part is so diffrent.
One thing is that people see references to the newer parts and then watch part one and are like “what does this have to do with anything with what I saw?”
Then they don’t watch it
8:40 neurons activated😁😁
You gotta react to the alternative versions. We love when someone who doesn’t know squat reacts to those.
8:02 you feeling that 😎😎😎😎👌👌👌🫸
I would like you to see the opening of another version of part 3 as well.
Yeah, basically the Stands are like Persona, in the fact that they're summons. But... if the stands receive damage, the user takes the same damage.
I think it might not be a good choice to start from season 1 since the story was more traditional (boring) and in fact I quitted after 10minutes watching the first episode 🤣🤣
I personally like season 3 the best, this was where I start finding fun and being more emotionally related.
I think many others start knowing jojo from the anime of season 3 too. No one could say no to Star Platinum！
I actually read all of Part 1 recently and got hooked lmao
@LKTVLKTV If you read the first part, will you try to watch it someday? I know u fell asleep when u first tried jojo (if Im not mistaken), but maybe next time u be full involved in this bizzare adventure. It was the same thing for me, 5 minutes I got bored, but few month later I give it a chance and its one of the best animes I've ever seen.
JoJo starts off fairly slow, I would say Part 1 is easily the weakest part of JoJo by far and while many jojo fans would say it's still good, I personally disagree heavily. Part 2 (which starts with episode 10) is where it starts getting good imo, and Part 3 is where it finds a unique and key concept that will be prevalent and important throughout the all the rest of the parts of JoJo. I would say you should at least finish Part 3 before you give your judgement on JoJo as a whole.
Edit: if that sounds way too overwhelming or too long of an investment of time, then just get to Part 2 (which starts at episode 10), I think right from the start of Part 2, you'll get what I mean, I don't want to spoil too much by telling you why that is the case but you'll figure it out yourself once you get there.
24:37 Hitting the nail right on the head eh?
It's weird which opening variants the video you used skipped and which they kept, but I'll have to finish watching to see if it really harms the big cool variants
If you are into reading Manga, Berserk is the greatest story I have ever consumed. Warning it is edgy and dark, but it is also a lot more than that.
You should react to the endings, out of context videos, and maybe the alternate openings before you have the context for why the changes happen.
I am all in for anime reactions
I miss the main thing with the Jojo openings reaction, the amazement at the alternate versions
"Is this Persona?" Yeah basically lol
You're so right jotaro is a god
Jojo is the type of franchise that keeps getting better with newer parts . My fav.jojo part is stone ocean final season ( part 6 ) in terms of anime. I rec you check out Fanmade Jojo part 7 and 8 OPs , they're super popular with Millions of views.
Bro he bought all the books as someone who hated it while I've been a fan for years and didn't want to buy them cause there's so many
Part 1 is really just a lot of buildup for the next part/s. It can be slow, but also has some good moments. If you intend to watch the series, I'd advise you to not watch the alternate editions of the intros if you care about spoilers
14:05 yes
Persona got the idea for its powers from jojo and street fight took their art style from jojo as well
11:47 ok.. tell me that wasn't a coincidence
and there were like five variants of the intros that you haven't seen, so I hope you see when watching the anime
Ngl jojos might just be the most random show in history
To watch an anime like JOJO is literally to just turn your brain off the Bizzar means just what it is it's an anime that subverts expectations one minute you'll go into it thinking wtf am I watching bro to end up being fully immersed as each part goes on
I am a simple man, I see someone skipping different versions - I just [KING CRIMSON]
Didn't intentionally skip ahaha - I didn't know they exist
@@LKTVLKTV I thought chat and discord are exactly for that purpeses, what happened to people who recommend you this?
It was a conscious decision in order not to ‘spoil’ and honestly I respect it haha. Either way this was just meant for me to go a little further than toe deep and get the ball rolling and I’m grateful that this video served its purpose for me regardless haha

Why the rainbow 😭
Im so bummed out i missed this live 💀
7:14 it’s supposed to be bizarre don’t worry
i dont understand why youtubers put that little thing on the video that makes it so we cant record the openings, it's accesable on youtube and pirating.
Sad you missed the best parts, opening of part 3 4 5 and I think 6 have different versions, relating to where you are in the part, so later in part 4, Kira uses Bite The Dust to reverse time by an hour, so when its at that part in the anime, the op at the end has Kira pressing the button, reversing the whole song.
24:37 You are so right how did you know 😅
there are many jojos at the same time. at first we got jonathan than joseph than jotaro and i dont know the rest bcs im still on the 4th opening.
As a big JJBA fan i think you should get into it. HOWEVER i think its time for the next Persona 5 part :) (just joking, upload it when its ready^^)
he didn't want to jump into it and then buyed all the first part manga in hardcover? ok, then, danm
Only one way to find out, right? Plus the hardcovers look so sick 🥹
How is he so good at guessing
