I finally finished JoJo Golden Wind. Honestly, it’s by far my least favourite. The characters are unbelievably stupid (much more so than the previous parts), Sex Pistols is an incredibly irritating stand despite how often it’s used and the story just felt like a weaker version of Stardust Crusaders. They also didn’t really do anything with the unique origins of Giorno, which felt like a waste. I still enjoyed it, but it’s a 6-6.5 at best. Even below Part 1 imo.
I now started with Stone Ocean and am already enjoying it a lot more. A female MC is refreshing and the story (so far) is interesting too.
You didn’t enjoy the turtle arc?
You mean the one in the train? It was fine. It’s not as if I didn’t enjoy GW, just not that much.
Certainly an unpopular opinion, but a welcome perspective. Personally, GW is peak JoJo and Stone Ocean dropped the ball a bit, but went back to peak JoJo form towards the end.
