    If you make it past that though, Diamonds are Unbreakable is probably my favorite series

    It’s always a ringing endorsement of a show when you’re like “skip episodes!”

    I don't skip episodes, but I do absolutely power through the doldrums.

    Thankfully, once you get past those there's a damn good fireworks factory waiting.

    But yeah the next season of Jojo shines like a diamond. Best paced, best characters, and best villain.

    The thing is that the whiffs are big whiffs but when stardust is firing on all cylinders it slaps

    the Darby bros and the confrontation with DIO are all timers

    A lot of Stardust Crusade is experimenting with the new concept of the Stands so a lot of the early parts are hit or miss but once they get in to Egypt it really grows it's beard... or... dog?
    D'Arby and onward though are some of the best episodes that Jojo's ever had, and Iggy's the fucking best.

    fight manga with powers, that's been running on and off since the 80s, kind of a cult classic, which has been getting a full anime adaptation for the first time in the last 5 or so years

    Jojo is I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you know the series.

    When it's good, it's real food, and there is nothing quite like it.

    Also I wonder how those credits are going to change (every Jojo since stardust has had credits that change in accordance with BIG REVEALS. All of which have been thematic and awesome)

    Ideas hate it when you anthropomorphize them

    I was wild thinking I knew Jojo was about a bunch of weirdos using their stands to fight, then finally watching it and being surprised it starts off with vampire weirdos in Victorian times.

    I've only watched the show but didn't he have another flashback when he met Smoker's lieutenant whose name I can't think of at the moment?

    Fuck yeah! And the author doesn't plan to end the series any time soon either.

    I hadn't heard of this one before.
    and it seems like this was a very good time to start reading it (and continue and get caught up).

    I do wish it wasn't quite so male-gaze-y -- I get that it's the point and that's how she does things, but I feel like there's a way it could have been done which would make it more clear it was for him, not for me, if that makes sense?. 'Don't tease me miss nagatoro" does the same sort of thing, though not quite as constantly, and the cartoonier art there makes it less weird-feeling.

    On the other hand, when it's not doing that, the art in Anjou-San is really pretty and expressive, and they've done a good job of keeping the cast size manageable so that we can pay attention to what's going on between them.

    (on which note -- I know that part of the plot of Komi-san is that she wants to make 100 friends, but sheesh, I was already having trouble keeping up before, and the couple of dozen new characters this time around is not helping any)

    Dunno if anyone's checking it out but this new manga, Ayashimon, is a pretty good read so far.
    It's set in a Japan where the yakuza are secretly literal monsters and the male protagonist is a (so far at least) human guy who trained himself as a kid to be so strong that he now can't hold a real job. So he's absolutely thrilled when he stumbles into the monster-yakuza's secret because now he has people he can actually fight like his heroes; Goku, Kinnikuman and Jotaro.
