Well, @Moriveth and I watched the live action movie! Honestly I enjoyed it. Mori said the cgi was a lot better than he was expecting. I thought the actors were pretty great (especially Koichi’s actor).
Stardust Crusaders is where stands show up, so yeah, kinda.
I will say this for SDC: The first half is pretty uneven. But the second half is REAL good (and also there are a couple episodes I really dislike in there, but it's mostly good)

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I feel like the high points of SDC are the highest the series has been, and the low points are... well, the lowest
Like those D'arby episodes, or the Oingo Boingo episodes? fucking fantastic
Alessi? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It gets a lot of mileage out of the fact that a lot of it's best episodes are the final ones, so the part ends really strong.

The Alessi episodes are basically filler starring Polnariff anyway.

I think my favorite bonkers detail about the end of Battle Tendency is that
Stroheim canonically dies a proud Nazi at the Battle of Stalingrad
all it says is the eastern front
it's absolutely Stalingrad. The dub and sub both specify and you can clearly hear Stalingrad in the Japanese narration
Regardless I think it's just a hilarious fate and such a jarring reminder that oh yeah, he was a Nazi and World War II was in fact still a thing in this world

oh I didn't mean to be unclear
I love araki's insane bullshit

also, I now have the full manga series of both Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency, and the first two of Stardust Crusaders
I... don't know what I'm gonna do when I'm caught up with the current volumes published.
I'll play it safe
He's a thousand year old super murderer!
I'm glad he's dead

luckily now that I've seen it I can just cherrypick all the parts I like and forget the many, many episodes I can't...stand

Also DIO is a great final boss with oodles of buildup
i honestly don't think there's any good reason to watch the alessi episodes, even on a first time through
they can only lower your enjoyment and opinion of everything

Well, in a show as monster-of-the-week as Stardust Crusaders, a lot of the fights could be filler.
The most filler fight is Wheel of Fortune, I think.
What does this mean and how will I know when I get there?
in Stardust Crusaders: Battle in Egypt, there are two episodes called Set's Alessi, Parts 1 and 2
skip 'em

What about

SONOFABITCH!
