JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 5: Ougon no Kaze

Minor spoilers ahead!!! Literally the worst JoJo for me. Boring, irrelevant and long dialogs, awful theme and insignificant characters when ''compared to'' other JoJo's. First episodes (1-10) was decent, there were some references to Dio and some characters had unique abilites BUT they never used it again. I know this had happened before in old JoJo's but this one really stand out. Be sure to check 44 Araki forgot moments on Youtube and you'll get what i'm saying. (There will be some spoilers for next parts so be aware) As an anime its only ok and overrated. Also there is some sjw elements such as homosexuality and it will continue in part 6 like in netflix things. You know what i mean...

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind is an absolute gem, with a cast I’ve grown to love, especially Giorno and Bucciarati. Giorno is such a unique and driven character, and I genuinely don’t understand why he doesn’t get as much love from some fans—his calm resolve and strong sense of justice make him a powerful and inspiring protagonist. Bucciarati, on the other hand, brings the team together with his unwavering loyalty and sense of honor, making him one of the most unforgettable characters in the entire series. Araki’s storytelling and character development noticeably improve in Part 5, blending complex character dynamics with creative Stand battles that keep the intensity high. The plot twists and the depth of each character’s backstory make every episode or chapter feel meaningful and contribute to the overall impact of the story. While I enjoy both the manga and the anime, I definitely prefer the anime adaptation. The animation quality and fluidity bring each Stand battle to life, and the OST elevates every scene, capturing the drama, tension, and excitement of each moment perfectly. Golden Wind is a thrilling journey from start to finish, and I’m grateful for an adaptation that highlights all of Araki’s incredible work so beautifully.

After watching this series part-time over the past week and a half, I can confidently say that this part is by-far one of the more structured and complex parts of the anime adaptation series so far. It basically balances the notion of a corrupt and insecure Mob Boss that has possessed the powerful stand-arrows seen in part 3; However, this part still refers to previous story lines of the JoJo's anime adaptation despite being well over 100 episodes in the series. This part's JoJo isn't really one of my favorites but his reason for fighting and the fact that he's a direct descendant of Dio Brando makes this part fairly interesting. Story: The idea of a travelling story line is interesting because it refreshes the content the viewer engages in. That being said, it can be executed poorly or greatly: An example of a poor execution for a travelling storyline would be Star Dust Crusaders because for the most part, the characters travel yet all they do is engage into a new set of opponents whereas with Golden Wind, we can see that the story line doesn't just focus on fighting but mostly solving clues, JoJo shenanigans and more. For that reason, I will be giving the story a generous 8/10 Art & Sound: What's a JoJo series without that distinctive detailed art style? I've gotten accustomed to the JoJo art style so it doesn't matter me at all; furthermore, the VA in this part was fairly interesting - You could sense that the VA put effort in executing their character's personalities even with the body switches, Narancia VA in Giorno was very noticeable because of the style used to voice Narancia's original character. I'd rate Art & Sound the 7/10 since there's nothing above and beyond in terms of either; just a lot of hard work in VA. Character: As we progress through Golden Wind's storyline it's very interesting seeing how the group splits up, loses members or kills off members etc. I noticed that Star Dust Crusaders implemented this, they had characters such as Avdol that could have been dead rejoin the journey. I guess author decided to add much more structure and realism in terms of characters development in Golden Wind more than ever so far in the anime adaptations. This is the main point that stood out to me and as such, I'd rate Character a bold 8/10. Enjoyment: I enjoyed this so much! However, I often took breaks by watching other series because it may have been too much information for me in a single sitting. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed Golden Wind in comparison to part 1, 2 and 3 but I feel it won't be able to beat Diamond is Unbreakable in overall enjoyment; and as such, I will rate it 8/10. OVERALL: I'd say this series is very deserving of 8/10; This is 100% my opinion and different for everyone but I feel I enjoyed the later half of the series more because the common goal was developed by then and many of the organisation's problems were overcome Bucciariti's group. Great part, cannot wait for Stone Ocean's anime adaptation!

Sama kaya seri Jojo lainnya, nontonnya capek. Lawan Diavolonya kurang berasa, kaya cuma kabur-kaburan terus oper-operan panah stand requiem, tapi gw suka suasana mafianya sih,apalagi yang pas bagian kiriman balok es itu. Openingya boleh ya, Requim wo wow woah~ Endingnya Jojo gw jarang denger, palingan yang Roundabout karena itu juga karena meme. Just like other Jojo series, it's tiring to watch. Against Diavolo it doesn't have much of a feel, it's like just running around and passing the requiem arrows, but I like the mafia atmosphere, especially the part where the ice blocks are delivered. The opening is okay, Requim wo wow woah~ I rarely hear the ending of Jojo, mostly Roundabout because it's also a meme.

Bon Giorno and welcome to Italy! It's no secret that JoJo creator Hirohiko Araki loves Italy and nowhere is this more evident than the acclaimed Part 5: Vento Aureo. A gangster (or should I say Gangstar) mystery thriller, mixed in with wacky and thrilling Stand battles, high stakes action and some nice sprinklings of trademark JoJo humour and homoerotic nonsense. Among all JoJo parts, Vento Aureo is among the most self-contained. It's events have little to no effect on what comes after and while it is a consequence from events in previous parts, it exists mostly in isolation from anything else. But make no mistake, this doesn't mean it isn't impactful, quite the contrary. Part 5 stands out a lot - here is where JoJo truly shifted away from muscular 80s shonen heroes to elegant, flamboyant and more morally ambiguous badasses. Character designs are more outlandish, but are also so striking and memorable. The action is much less focused on throwing punches and is instead much more cerebral. And the whole experience is just fantastic - the stakes, the tension, the character dynamics, the drama. Oh, it's so bellissimo! Vento Aureo contains some of the best battles, some of the best minor villains and some of the most iconic moments of all of JoJo and by God does the anime do it justice - with superb visuals, fantastic voice acting, great pacing and of course the MUSIC, the already amazing experience is elevated to a whole new level. Do yourself a favour and check it out!

It's fine not great not terrible the main character was a snooze fest due to it's lack of personality and just flair the other characters just feel pretty average. I'll let you decide which sounds more fun A man named Giorno Giovanna wants to kill thee mafia boss of Italy, related to Dio Brando but that's not important at all for some reason then he meets some fan service, After that he enters into the mafia and joins Bruno Bucciarati team they all have either really amazing stands to mediocre ones such as little plane to guy who can kill almost anything with gas then he is ordered to deliver the bosses daughter to the boss she gets stand but barley uses it then Giorno meets the boss gets a requiem stand and beats him. This 20 year old named joseph Joestar meets and fights cyborg Nazi, weird vampires come from pillars and tries to stop them to get a stone so they become god then sends him into space. The art is good but every JoJo art is good same with sound.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind The legends of the masterful Plot Armor continue in a fifth part. This part is by far my favorite of all previous ones, thanks to the improved animation and stronger atmosphere. Unfortunately, the main problem has not yet been resolved. JoJo is still a work that has an enormously poorly implemented plot, which is supported in every corner by Plotholes and Plot-Arnor wherever it can. Virtually nothing in the plot structure is really logical and everything happens because it happens. This domino principle was tolerable at first, but he really uses it anew in every part. That's why it's still the same. You can only watch JoJo because of the personable characters, music, and individual fights. However, here and there it pulled again, with the series throwing one enemy after the other into the ring without getting to the actual topic. I like the fights, but their resolution is obvious 100% of the time, as long as the antagonist doesn't join in. As soon as the antagonist makes his first round, we already know how it ends. I also think that the antagonists should be given significantly more screen time. He was almost absent until the end of the series, whereas you saw some irrelevant no-names that acted almost only as story blockers. All of this is nothing new, however, it happens in every part except Part 2, because there the main antagonists are shown early enough compared to the length. The real story of Part 5-Golden Wind only consists of bringing the daughter back and messing with the main antagonist. There is nothing more. And until you get to that point, there are quite a few fights with any booth users who are just there. But at least the atmosphere is there. It doesn't feel as sluggish as the desert adventure in Stardust Crusaders. The characters are also special here again. Not just because of their bizarre stands, but their character traits and personalities. The music was very impressive here too. Or rather "Typical - JoJo". The intros, especially the second, are also enormously individual. Nobody can say which of the parts is the best in terms of implementation. All of them have their strengths and weaknesses. However, this one is definitely my favorite. Story - 4 Art - 6 Sound - 9 Character - 4 Enjoyment - 7 Overall - 6

For the longest time I was hyped for this particular part of JoJo to be animated. Part 5 is one of my favorite JoJo parts; it has the coolest Stand abilities and the most colorful characters in the entire series in my opinion. I was so damn excited for it, that I even went to AnimeExpo 2018 just to see the first episode super early. The first episode was fantastic and I couldn't wait to see more when it released on October. Fast forward to finishing the final episode, I believe Golden Wind was one of the best animes in both 2018 and 2019. The story isn't quite as interesting as Diamond is Unbreakable, but it's still superior to the first three parts. It's a crime drama centered around the drug trade and the Italian Mafia, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise when I tell you that this part is easily the most violent and bloody part in JoJo. The art is easily the best in the entire series so far. It's so vibrant and colorful that it's hard to dislike it at all, and this isn't even the Blu-Ray cut. The sound is also the best in the entire series, the voice acting is top notch- major props to the voice actors of Giorno, Bruno, Narancia, and the Boss in particular. The sound effects are wonderful and satisfying, and the soundtrack is pure gold. The fight scenes are some of the best as well. As stated above, I think the Stands are the most unique and versatile in this season and it makes for energetic and bloody fights that also involves a lot of strategy. The flaws I have are the constant flashbacks in the first half and the characters. Each of the main character gets a flashback from their past (and since some of them aren't in the manga it's basically filler) and it takes up half of an episode each time. It gets pretty tedious and some of them don't give enough reasoning for why the characters are the way they are. True, some are good. Bruno and Fugo have excellent ones that characterizes them, but the others not so much. The characters aren't as great as Part 4's. They're just not as interesting, and honestly some of their quirks are kind of annoying. For example, Mista's abhorrence towards the number 4 or Narancia being dumb as hell. This is practically blasphemy within the community, but I just didn't enjoy it. It's good meme material I suppose. Giorno isn't exactly the most engaging JoJo either but he's pretty entertaining to watch in a fight so there's that. The best character by far is Bruno Bucciarati, who is easily one of the best supporting characters I've ever seen in an anime. He has good motives, he's interesting, and you sympathize with him the most. He's considered to be one of the best Jo-Bros in the entire series and I agree wholeheartedly. Many of the emotional scenes are because of him. He's selfless without being self-righteous and he's not perfect but tries his best. The villains are also pretty great. Think of the Stardust Crusader villain cast, give them powers that aren't completely boring/stupid and have them be tightly knit with each other and it makes for a more engaging villain. La Squadra isn't the Phantom Troupe by any means but it makes the villain of the week formula a lot less tedious to go through. The Boss however, is where I think is the best part of this season. I feel like he's a highly underrated villain just within the JoJo community, let alone the anime community. He's intimidating, powerful (honestly he's dummy overpowered), and for reasons you'll see in the show, he's extremely complex. I won't say anything more though. Definitely give this season a shot, it doesn't quite live up to its hype but it's still a great time. 8/10.

Before the anime adaptation this was one of the least popular parts, at least in this part of the world, because it was the most appraised in Japan. Now, this is the highest rated part in MyAnimeList, and there is a reason, although is not really a very good one. For starters, Jojo always had several elements that made it, well, Jojo. A mix of the characters, the stands, the fights, the humor and the interactions and unfortunately this season throws that mix out the window. First, even if it has some pretty fun moments is tone is a lot more serious that usual and humor is more scarce. Second, the characters are a lot less fun and more plain the season. they now have backstories and some motivation but they have a lot less chemistry that in earlier seasons. They lack the charisma that was almost granted in earlier seasons and that's a huge downer. Third, the fights are some of the fiercest and more extreme of all Jojo. the villains were a lot stronger than a lot of the previous and later ones which is pretty logical as most of them are mafia assasins. In one hand that makes the fights very good and they are really creative, but there are some really heavy inconsistencies with the powers of the protagonist and the resistance that the characters have have escaled to amounts that get to ridiculous even for a series with bizarre in the title. If they can survive almost anything the tension fades even when the danger apparents to be real and heavy. Fourth, the protagonist is the weakest of them all. It barely has any personality, repeats his phrase like a buzzword and almos is a plot device more than a character. Is really strong, but this is based on some really bad writing decisions I can't mention to avoid spoilers, but his fame was not earned by good reasons. Fifth, the villain although has a lot of creative concepts appears really late and is pretty plain by himself even when around him there are some interesting ideas and the best character interaction of the season. In character terms, is the weakest until now. Sixth, fortunately, the nuance and characterization the protagonist lacks is given to another character, Bruno Buciaratti. His characterization, motivation and personality are the strongest of the season and he moves the plot forward even more than the protagonist himself. Seventh, the animation style has changed. Is detailed but feels stiff in a lot of occasions. the soundtrack is somewhat memorable, and in general the production values are acceptable. Eighth, the ending is basically solved by an power-up. When the balance is done most of this remarks are more negative than positive, but even then is the highest rated one. Why? because is centered more on the battles that in the really loose plot or plain characters and as that element is in one of it's strongest points everything else is not that notorious in a superficial viewing. Is the weakest Jojo season thus far, the weakest protag thus far, but it has the best support character and best fights thus far to make the viewing not as painful as it would have been otherwise. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to see shonen fights as there are some really good ones during all the duration of the season, but for anything else is not really a good option.

Now Golden Wind has truly ended. Giorno Giovanna has left his JoJo mark. The Italian JoJo, or GioGio. Been a hell of a journey these past 9 months. Neber watched a JoJo weekly as I got to Parts 3 and 4 late so doing it this way, even knowing what was gonna happen since I read the manga after seeing Part 3, was been such a trip. This ain't my favorite JoJo part, or even close really, but it has some of the best characters and best stands/stand battles in all of JoJo so it has merit out the wazoo. My biggest thing is the amount of plot conveniences. JoJo has always been wacky, some would say bizarre, but there's enough times where it breaks it's own logic for me to say something. The Diavolo fight being the biggest but smaller ones in the other battles too, I get the sense that Araki went for rule of cool over making sense in his own world. Which isn't inherently bad but makes me scratch my head more often than I'd like. Regardless, and often in spite of that, Italy was pretty bonkers. The journey these Gang Stars went on rivals all the other JoJo journeys. The cast is full of amazing characters as I've said. Gio, Bruno the god, Narachia, Abbacchio, Mista, and even Fugo, made a badass crew. All their stand abilities fit well and gave us fucking killer moments. Bruno in the train battle, Gio against Green Day, Mista and Gio against Ghiaccio, Fugo vs the Man in the Mirror, there's a veritable smorgasbord for stand battle lovers. No question there. I ate it all up too. The characters themselves were really good too. Bruno obviously being my personal favorite, but Mista and Narachia were close behind him. Gio I think was merely serviceable. Took the backseat too much for my taste as he's the titular JoJo. Not a bad character but not that good. Sort of indifferent about him, until he gets Requiem of course then he's a fucking god who beats Diabolo's ass to shit. Excuse me. The ending with him being the new capo is kickass also. Deserved it after all that. Speaking of, Diavolo was a good villain but I won't say great. His ability of removing slivers of time makes him a threat on par with previous JoJo villains but it think compared to the likes of DIO he ain't quite there. I do love particular scenes with him though. When he reveals himself to Polnareff, and when we first meet him a la his signature gut punch to Bruno were two moments I was hyped to see in the anime. Having Polnareff back even briefly was awesome too. Not the same as we last saw him but as I adore Stardust Crusaders having an og back adds positive. Trish too of course. Not much helpful expect against BIG, which is a big moment but still, and some against her dad but she was mostly human macguffin as Diavolo tried to kill her the whole show. Still liked her character as I love me a firecracker. Production of the show was also I think good not great. Many bad frames and wonky moments but the big ones were done well so that's enough for me. The three recaps was some horseshit, especially the third only eight weeks after the second, so I feel this production was harder for David pro them previous JoJo, even Part 4. They're much busier than they've ever been and I think to showed at points. Not awful no way but faltering more often than I'd like. Music was on a whole nother level though, good Lord was the music used so well on top of being badass in its own right. Gio's theme is iconic at this point. Those violins raise it up a ton. The Overall I liked the anime for Part 5 better than the manga for Part 5. Which is a testament to how much David pro cares about JoJo. The battles all pretty much looked great. The damned Torture Dance cracked me up how they showed it in the anime. The colors changing like they do was done so well. The story is I think the weakest link here but it's not bad just not *as good* as previous JoJo. I think Araki played this one more loosey goosey Part 5 still kicks ass and delivered the hype battles. Now we wait for the sweet butterfly Jolyne and the Stone Ocean, till next time JoJo. 8/10

This is my first review but I gotta say this part in particular is one of the best if not the best so far. Everything is beautiful and to be honest there is not much to say,if you are a JoJo fan and if you didn't watch Vento Aureo yet then what are you waiting for? This adaptation has done justice to the manga and not surprisingly many have changed their opinions after seeing the anime,I hope the same treatment will be applied to part 6 as well. Thank you David Production for this amazing work. THIS HAS BEEN A GOLDEN EXPERIENCE!

The first part of Jojo that I truly enjoyed. I learned so much about the stances and saw such cool executions here, unlike in any previous part. But the biggest plus points of this part for me are, firstly, the incredibly beautiful setting in Italy, where you can tell the mangaka put a lot of effort into it, and secondly, what I consider a fantastic, functioning mafia system that fits the main theme of the part perfectly. Then there's the mystery surrounding the main villain; you want to stay engaged until the very end and absolutely have to find out who he is. And finally, a superbly functioning main group with fantastic interactions between them. However, I didn't think Girono was quite as good as Josuke before him or Jotaro.

After watching the first parts of Jojo and especially Stardust Crusaders, I wanted to watch Golden Wind, but the setting and scenario just didn't grab me initially and I repeatedly dropped the anime after the first two episodes. The story is basically a self contained story of Giorno (who is the illegitimate son of Dio Brando) who lives in Naples and wants to become the Mafia Boss and kill the current Boss. Initially I just did not see why this Giorno was compelling, and I felt like the story didn't have the stakes of Stardust Crusaders. However, once I got into this anime and forced myself to watch for a bit, I got completely sucked in. To the point that it actually became my favorite arc of Jojo ever. To make it simple, the basic scenario/plot (which is a classic mafia story) is not important. What makes it stellar is! 1) The cast of characters is awesome: Every single character is fun. Giorno is pretty much an introverted protag but the meaning of that really makes him awesome. He's not a brute like Jotaro, he's a kind young man that uplifts others and makes them "Golden". The irony of him being Dio's son also adds to the wholesomeness of the story. Then you have the rest of the cast, who all have interesting backstories and personalities, from the hilarious yet deadly Mista, or the charismatic Bruno. You also have Trish, who is arguably one of the coolest and hottest female characters in Jojo. I also thought no villain could top Dio, but the Mafia Boss is truly terrifying and his stand ability is fearsome. 2) The stands and stand battles in this arc are better than any arc before. They really got creative in this arc. We are far past stands like Star Platinum which are just high speed and power. Now you have stands that for example, cause a deadly virus to be released (bioweapon style), or Giorno's stand "Golden Experience" which infuses life into everything. It's all fun and creative, and leads to really awesome fights. Conclusion: I had a hard time watching this arc at first, but it became my favorite Jojo arc. Allow yourself to get pulled into this wholesome story of Giorno and his Mafia crew. It's worth it in the end. Also, you don't need to know about any Jojo stuff to watch this. It's a self contained story with just a few references. All you need to know is that characters have "stands", which are supernatural entities they can manifest. Bonus: The Ending Song in part 2 is literally by Enigma! Isn't this awesome?! Such a classic band. When final credits rolled on "Golden Wind", I was sad but glad that I watched this. It's not epic like Stardust Crusaders, but its more of a kino experience, which was even better for me! Strongly recommended! I only give 9/10 and not 10/10 because I feel that some character deaths didn't happen satisfyingly, and because the plot was slightly barebones, with some character development lacking.

Golden Wind might be the only anime I can describe in one word: PEAK. Undoubtedly the greatest animated JoJo arc so far, and genuinely what I consider to be the greatest anime I've seen. It's been over a year since I've watched it, and it's stood out in my mind all this time as the apex of all animation. Incredibly stylized art and animation that takes full advantage of the medium, especially with the stirking use of colors. Outstanding action that goes beyond the already-high standards set by the earlier JoJo installments. The greatest cast of characters thus far, with loads of chemistry among themselves both at the start, with legitimately genuine and heartfelt development as the plot continues. This time, our JoJo is the Italian delinquent Giorno Giovanna, the bastard son of Dio from when he was possessing Jonathan's body, just barely making him a part of the family. His personality is basically a perfect fusion of Dio and Jotaro's: He's ruthless, charismatic, and unpredictable like Dio, and focused, stoic, and driven like Jotaro. All of these traits combined makes Giorno the best protagonist up to this point. The absolutely absurd way that he's connected to the JoJo bloodline just makes it better. Because as overpowered as he seems, the enemies in this series too are the most threatening in the series. In Stardust Crusaders and Diamond is Unbreakable, stand users could have been anyone, so it took a while for legitimately menacing villains to show up in each arc. This isn't an issue per se, and it made sense for the context of those storylines. But in Golden Wind, Giorno is deadset on climbing the ranks of the Italian mafia, and let's not delude ourselves, even the lowest member in the family would need to be immensely ruthless and cunning - they wouldn't induct you in the first place if you weren't. This in turn leads the fights to be the smartest and most intense thus far. Prime example, Giorno can adapt his power to heal his allies' major wounds - and his enemies know this, so they go out of their way to target him first, isolating or eliminating him so he can't heal or support his team. And for most of the fights where Giorno isn't directly involved, it's usually because that tactic worked. On that topic, how are the stand fights? Ever since the franchise introduced stands in Stardust Crusaders, they've been the single most iconic component of the series, and Golden Wind has the best of them by far. Everyone's stand is incredibly powerful, leading to the fights having higher stakes and more intensity than ever before. Most of them last longer than one episode, without feeling like they're being needlessly prolonged, it's just that the circumstances and action are extreme enough to warrant it. Things reach an apex during the fight against White Album, one of the bloodiest fights so far against a stand user with such a psychotic personality that is equal parts threatening and hilariously entertaining. And every fight that follows it matches its quality equally, culminating in the fight against Green Day, a gruesome and malicious ability whose user is a vile, sadistic monster. For the characterization, the buildup, the action, and the perfectly cathartic climax, I have no reservation in calling this the greatest stand fight in the series. The beatdown Giorno gives at the end lasts for seven pages in the manga - completely deserved! - and the animation makes it even better. Lastly, the pacing. From Giorno's introduction to Diavolo's inevitable defeat, the speed of the story and fight progression is akin to an F1 race, blitzing from start to finish while masterfully executing the course's twists and turns. By the end of the first episode, Giorno is already entrenched in his first stand fight against his soon-to-be ally Bruno Bucciarati, and subsequent encounters all happen immediately after the last, leaving no time for the heroes to rest. It's a veritable gauntlet, contributing even more to the sheer intensity of the show I was praising earlier. That's not to say there isn't any downtime for us, the viewers, just that it happens in quick and impactful moments between the fights. There are flashbacks for the heroes and enemies, as well as cuts to other characters outside the main party, and plenty of jokes and humor interspersed throughout to maintain levity. The most iconic example being the "Torture Dance", but my favorite is after the White Album stand fight - I already mentioned how bloody that fight is, so when that user is dead and one of the heroes arrives to see the aftermath in the most compromising way possible, the sudden juxtaposition led to one of my loudest laughs from any anime I've seen so far. If I'm going to be completely honest and critical, it's not perfect. Giorno's and Diavolo's stands are a bit sloppy with how their powers are set up - I'm not even going to attempt to explain King Crimson, and Gold Experience's ability to reflect damage is never invoked beyond the first two episodes. Also, the stand fight against Man in the Mirror ended with me exclaiming "Okay, that seriously shouldn't have worked" - the only time I think it's too ridiculous, even by JoJo standards - and the anime ends with the stand "fight" against Rolling Stones, a sort of prologue to this arc which is thoroughly pointless and uninteresting, I'd consider it the worst stand fight in the overall series. And yet despite this, Golden Wind carries so much bravado, so much oomph, that I can willfully overlook these admittedly major flaws, because it does everything else masterfully. I need to repeat this one more time. Golden Wind is PEAK.

I thought Stardust Crusaders was my favorite Jojo arc, but it wasn’t until I watched Golden Wind that I was completely swayed! I can’t decide what I liked about it the most: the storyline? The characters and their motivations? The clever new stands and creative ways they’re used? I couldn’t get enough of it! I felt such a deep connection to these characters and how much they meant to each other. Their convictions were so strong and their desire to see things all the way through was so endearing to me. When the group succeeded I was happy for them, when they failed or suffered I felt so badly for them. The last time I wanted something so badly for a character was probably for Yuri on Yuri on Ice. The great desire and tenacity to see something through to the end is something that I admire in my anime characters. It doesn’t always need to be bloody and dramatic, but to see someone fight for a cause so noble really makes me swell with pride. Pride was only one of the many emotions I felt in this arc. I was inspired, disgusted, angered, and torn apart. I cried so often and so deeply I had to get a hold of myself, especially when we started losing precious people. In certain anime, we can always assume that we’re going to lose some people along the way. But it’s just the way that it happens that tears me up inside. When you see the light go out in someone’s eyes and you hear their last thoughts. You want to reach through the screen and shake them. You don’t want it to be the end. And above all, you want good things for them. You don’t want their story to end or for them to die in vain or suffer needlessly. It really makes you think about your own life and wonder if there’s anything so great that you would put your life on the line or throw yourself into danger for. That’s why I love the Jojo series. People who are brave and noble in spirit, people with conviction and resolve, tenacity and gumption. People that have stories to tell and full lives they wish to live, no matter how big or small. The show inspires you to want to live life out loud and make great friendships along the way. Friendships that are stretched by distance, but are always close at heart.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, is a phenomenal addition to the franchise. Set in Italy, this season follows Giorno Giovanna, the son of Dio Brando, as he rises through the ranks of the Italian mafia in order to take down the boss and rid the organization of corruption. One of the strongest aspects of this season is the incredible character development of Giorno and his mates. Each member of his team has a unique personality and backstory, making them all feel fleshed out and important to the overall narrative. The dynamic between them is also well-written and entertaining to watch, particularly the relationship between Giorno and Bruno Bucciarati. you'll love some and hate some. some cringe moments/fights but all part of it. Last few episodes are emotional and action packed to say the least. Although, Golden Wind is a thrilling and emotional ride from start to finish, with an excellent blend of action, comedy, and drama as well, no dull moments. It is a testament to the creativity and innovation of the JoJo franchise, and a must-watch for fans of the series and newcomers alike.

JOJO part 5 is pretty damn good but nowhere near as good as the other jojo parts are. unlike other parts that slowly introduce the characters this one introduces them all at once. instead of having quality time with each character like other parts we get a fast paced go here kill this guy dynamic witch means no new stand user joining the party like previous parts. i dunno it just feels like it does not let you breathe at any point and just keeps throwing the next stand user one after the other. the final fight is lame as hell too so good part but i prefer literally every other one.

Can't believe that people are overrating jjba. Yes, it has ok fights with psychological thinking, but why would that make a series a good anime? The story has always been disappointing. A good anime should also have a good story, it only focuses on fights. No emotion in any character, nothing. Is it overrated because it has been a popular franchise when it came out? There are hundreds of anime better than jojos and I believe y'all are only rating it higher because its a classic and because of the memes. The story was really bad, bad backstories, I hate that the fights are so overrated but it really seems like Araki throws some random things in there. I am used to the art but its not good nor bad. The sound is ok, not bad nor good. The characters were really bad, Araki builds their characters only on their fighting and not their true desires. I did not enjoy the series, maybe some parts, but it was a waste of time.

Firstly, This is the worst part of Jojo. This will especially disappoint those who expect quality from the series, not just a continuation. I cannot believe it is the most highly rated one. Let me explain why. Story: 6 It has a simple story with one motive and a definite route map - quite similar to the part 3, except they travel around Italy. However, after watching part 3, it is quite predictable. There is no element of surprise. Their "surprises" and "you thought I'd do this but no I did this" was lacking in intelligence, and it relied on random stand abilities which was just boring. There was no smart trap, nothing interesting, no mind manipulation, nothing well-thought out like it was in the previous series. I can recall many scenes from previous series in which the characters used their abilities in an interesting way despite limits but there was nothing interesting here. There are SO many more plot holes, compared to previous seasons. I expect improvement every season and this just disappointed me. The stands are ridiculous. I did not like most of them even the protagonists'. It feels like the creators wanted to piss off the audience as much as they could. No thought put into them. There is no time to breathe in this series. Usually there's some time to relax until the next battle but there is no break to explore the characters and their relationships for us to actually feel for them. Half the mysteries are left unanswered. I don't know if it would be revealed in the coming seasons but very unsatisfying. Art: 7 There is no identity to this series other than the absolutely ridiculous character design. In part 3 there is a certain colour scheme, style, ridiculously large muscles, costumes and backgrounds which gave the series its identity. Part 4 handled the art the best - having a design for Morioh city, having some unique building designs, colour schemes and there was an identity to Morioh city as well as the characters because of how their designs blended in . Lot of scenes also used art like murals to depict stand abilities. Part 5 was the poorest in creating an identity or atmosphere. Don't get me wrong - the backgrounds are beautifully done, detailed buildings and good depiction of the city but the characters just do not fit in. The city is rendered as it exists but without any mafia twists. If the series is about gangs, I'm expecting an atmosphere which depicts it. It just does not fit into the story and the costumes just stand out ridiculously. They do not go together. Sound: 7 Voice actors did a great job, background music stood out and really enhanced the scene except - the scenes themselves didn't have any impact, only the music was good to hear. The openings were alright but didn't excite me as the previous seasons did but it did have a dark vibe. That's probably the only gang-ish thing you'll find in this series. The first ending is just ridiculous, has nothing to do with the story, boring. The second ending is by Enigma. Best thing ever, obviously. Characters: 6 The main character is a calm hero of justice. Except, what the hell was wrong with him in the first few episodes? The amount of development was not enough, and there was very less exploration about him and even the others of the team. One of them was not even present for half the series. GioGio has no presence. He blends in way too much. You forget where he is. Everyone else stands out more than him, I think he isn't even seen for half the series. I didn't feel attached to him. The rest of the team is okay but there is not enough interaction between them for us to feel sad or happy for any of them. Just a set of quirky characters. Character backstories are in the form of narrated flashbacks. No, not narrated to other characters, just for the audience. Which is okay but it would've been more interesting if characters interacted with each other and formed a bond instead. It felt like they were rushing to get their flashbacks out and get it over with. The villain is probably the least intelligent villain I've ever seen. Power hungry maniac who has the strength but probably not enough brains. How he reached his position is beyond me. But he was interesting in a way. Enjoyment: 7 Watch it with someone else. At least you can give commentary on the ridiculousness and enjoy it. I did enjoy it but I expected more and it just didn't give me the same joy I got from the previous seasons. Overall: 6.5 This season was just mediocre(comparatively), it betrayed my expectations. No art, no feeling, no humanity, just trying to be as ridiculous as possible for the 'Jojo' name. I did like it for sure, I love the Jojo series but it REALLY really does not come on par with the previous seasons, thus the lower score. I might've been a little harsh on it because of the superior quality of the previous seasons but I believe that Jojo is a very unique series - there is clearly no anime like it and I want every season to be that perfect. I do recommend watching it though but only if you're a fan of Jojo from the beginning and want a sequel.

The story in Part 5 makes a lot of the previous Parts have more sense and explanation to them, but it also has parts that make it extremely confusing as a whole. The art bothers me a little because even though it suits the main characters of the part, they made certain recurring characters appear to be borderline anorexic, juxtaposing their original "buff" frame. The sound has improved dramatically in Part 5 and it makes it EXTREMELY enjoyable to listen to at all times, and the themes of the main characters are loved by everyone, the music and the sound effects, as well as the voices, are all enjoyable throughout.
