TabbieWolf is TiredI have started watching JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
I just started the fifth episode of the Stardust Crusaders arc (I swore I’d get through the intros of the five main characters at least) and…I don’t know how to feel?
J.S. "Sage" Hawthorne@tabbiewolf Did you skip straight to Stardust Crusaders?
@jshawthorne should I have started earlier?
@tabbiewolf No, it's fine. Honestly, Phantom Blood was truly hard to get through, and though I liked Battle Tendency (and seeing Joseph Joestar as a kid instead of an old man is really different), the show fundamentally changed between BT and SC.
I will say that Stardust Crusaders takes a long time to ramp up and feel like you're really understanding it, well past just the character introductions.
@jshawthorne I’ve got the basics of what a Stand is, at least, and who the main bad guy is, but I saw it’s like. 43 episodes long (on Hulu, at least, I think the arcs/seasons are divided weirdly) and I suspect I do not have the patience to watch all of it
@tabbiewolf It's forty eight episodes total, cuz it's two twenty-four episode seasons. The first part is what you're in now, and the second part (usually called The Egypt Arc or Battle in Egypt) is a lot more serial instead of episodic.
@tabbiewolf FWIW, I actually really liked it, but I also, I think, appreciate long story arcs more than you do.
@jshawthorne Does it end well? I think I remember you saying it does. I will sit through a LOT for a good ending…
@tabbiewolf I would say it ends satisfyingly, and with surprising emotion (especially for a show that is, in a lot of ways, a parody of itself)
