This is the story of our protagonist Yamaguchi. I know that I have more mangas waiting but I really want to be a little bit advanced with this one. THE FIRST CHAPTER HAS 60 PAGES, other mangas have like 20 pages on average, it's kinda long but I'm going to enjoy it. It has only 47 chapters, I thought that it was kinda short in comparison if the ones with 200 chapters I've read, but. Since it has already started airing, I watched the first episode of Blue Period, and I really got caught by it, I even started the manga today because I don't want to wait until next week to watch what's coming up with, honestly I put this manga on my list several months ago, but the time passed without me realizing and now the anime is out, but I'm here right now. I love how, instead of writing an action hero, Araki wrote the JoJo of Part 4 as someone he’d want to be his friend. I love that it introduces supernatural influences outside of Stand abilities - the arrows, aliens, ghosts. I love how the enemies they defeat become one big group of friends, unless they go so far as to hurt the people they love. I love that it pulls the stakes back down to earth without losing any of the sense of adventure. I love how it models its jacked-to-hell character designs after high fashion and manages to turn out the most beautifully fucked-up outfits. I love the dumbass musical references that mean nothing. I love its unapologetically stupid plot twists and wonderfully bullshit logic. And that’s what I love about this series! I love how you can ask 8 people what their favorite JJBA part is, and get 8 answers, because each part is so vastly different from anything that comes before or after it.

I watched the parts out of order (sue me) but if I hadn’t, I still would barely think of the series as watchable. This is the absolute epitome of “it grew on me like a fungus”.

A finale that had me crying straight through the last two or three episodes. Driving directly to the root of characterization by focusing on the tension between what characters desire most of all and what they try desperately to keep hidden.

Masterful directorial choices that establish norms quickly through repetition, and drive the plot by choosing exactly when and how to break the repetition.

You know what I discovered there also is? Character arcs that rival Ping Pong in their depth. There’s weird musical numbers that come out of nowhere and aren’t explained. There’s layers of wordplay and metaphor that take a little too much thinking to figure out. There’s a lot of stuff about butts in this anime. It was the show airing that season that, right out of the gate, existed to make the audience ask “Hey, what the FUCK was that?” and I didn’t think it would go deeper than that.

Honestly, I first put this one on for a laugh.
