    Also, Dorohedoro keeps switching between obvious cg and regular hand drawn animation and I can't really figure out a reason why? Like it's not 100% either or.

    I think you mean 16.

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    JoJo starting out advice: embrace the camp. Part 1 is SO OVER THE TOP CAMPY you can't enjoy it unless you take everything super seriously and at face value and just REVEL in the sheer campiness of it.

    The campiness slowly dissipates into an omni-present goofiness/absurdity in later parts. A bizareness, if you will. And you'll have trained yourself to enjoy that aspect, so it'll be fun. Aside from certain problems.

    Somebody told me to skip the first part, but I'm glad I didn't, because
    You expected this to be an actual spoiler behind this tag, BUT IT WAS I, DIO!

    1 is kinda boring and the least absurd of the jojos, and jonathon is a very boring strong boy
    2 is where it gets silly and joseph is the best dirtbag
    part 3 is where stands show up and the series goes full bonkers

    Funimation has it, I think, at the least.

    I wonder how that series holds up, actually. I watched it on VHS back in high school.

    It holds up great, and was eerily prophetic in how it predicted the internet's hold on society.
    (I may be biased. Maybe.)

    Because the first two series had an entirely different power being used. The third series blends things and the fourth totally abandons the first in favor of stands.

    the third series barely ever remembers the power from the first 2 is a thing, it gets brought up like once or twice maybe? It's 99.9% completely forgotten and abandoned.

    It’s been a while since I watched it so I dug around and found this post
    Used to help win against Bastet (more apparent in the manga apparently?) and Lovers, free Kakyoin, and attempted against Empress and Dio.

    I went to a convention around this time, and attended the AMV showcase/voting. There were around twenty or so videos shown. At least ten used this song. After about four, people began groaning. By the end the entire audience was just groaning and booing as soon as the music started.

    joseph uses it a decent amount, cause he can channel it through hierophants tentacles

    They don't make it clear that's happening most of the time, I think

    Things get changed up pretty heavily in part 7 too. There are stands but many of them act so differently from past stands that you could rightfully imagine it a different series.

    I just binged the first season and I honestly could not tell you what the fuck was happening at any given point but it was cool as hell? And also all the outros were bangers.

    The first time I heard Flagpole Sitta and The Impression That I Get was from typing

    dragon ball music video

    into Napster.

    And then I recorded the file sizes in a notebook next to the computer because my brothers and I needed to stay under the data cap.

    I think it still holds up and in fact is scarily prescient in some of its presentation of Internet dependency.

    Definitely don't want more than a couple of episodes in a setting, though. Trying to binge it is a great way to get overloaded and not process anything.

    You officially know as much about Dorohedoro as it is possible to know

    May I interest you in a mushroom
