Speaking of those stories and plot continuity in general, DIU has a more continuous plot than SC. However, even though the show has a relatively small slice-of-life setting, it doesn't prevent it from being interesting or entertaining in any way, as it has a good pacing and keeps introducing new characters, powers and stories which often take place in different locations of the town. Unlike the first series and both parts of Stardust Crusaders (hence SC), which have a strong adventure element with the characters travelling around the world, DIU takes place entirely in one town and its surroundings. Since DIU is not the 1st series in the franchise, I guess it makes sense to draw some comparisons in order to put things into perspective. STORYEach part of Jojo follows the members of Joestar family at different time periods, and each of the already released series makes some shift in the formula. So, if you haven't watched anything from Jojo yet, I highly recommend to start with the first TV series. Generally speaking, it is a good fighting shounen that keeps some fundamental elements of its predeccesors and also brings many new things to the table.īefore writing anything else, I would like to point out that while each part of Jojo may be viewed independently from others, it is much better to watch them in chronological order, as you may lose some important context otherwise. The Rohan OVAs are also great.Diamond is Unbreakable (hence DIU) is another TV series in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise, adapting part 4 of the original manga. The torture dance is one of the finest pieces of animation ever created. GOLDEN WIND: As always the main team is great. I love the colors, the characters, the villain. DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE: My favorite part. The introduction of Stands changed the game.

STARDUST CRUSADERS: Long, epic, incredible. Stronger and better paced than Phantom Blood, but it does drag a bit towards the end. Speedwagon rules BATTLE TENDENCY: Joseph is great. Drags a bit in the middle, but sticks the landing. Here are some quick thoughts about each part: PHANTOM BLOOD: The first three episodes are a masterpiece. It has great and memorable chatacters, stylish visuals, cool strategy-based action, incredible music and many dead dogs. I didn't know if I would when I started watching it, but as it went on I loved it more and more.
