JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Chapter 152 Discussion

After rereading it, I still prefer the anime adaptation. Could always go on about how overrated it is compared to what came before and after, but that's not exactly an unpopular sentiment anymore. And besides, it still has undeniable style.

While Part 3's anime adaptation is my least favorite anime from JoJo franchise, I was pretty much skeptical about reading Part 3 manga, although many people encouraged me to do read it, since it fixed a lot of things that I found annoying in Part 3's anime adaptation. And they were right.



Jotaro is really likeable character with his own specific personality (he is not that expressive like Joseph, but he's a good guy); the pacing is way, way better; fights are more interesting and more dynamic.



I'm not saying that Part 3's anime was bad. It was good in its own way, expanding the source material by a lot of things that served their purpose as additional content. I just didn't like it. It was too long, too slow and did not make a good transition from Hamon to Stands. Unlike the manga.



I really liked this manga. Very good one, filled with great action, likeable characters, a lot of humor and bizarre situations. In fact, at least when it comes to JoJo manga, Stardust Crusaders became one of my favorite JoJo mangas. ;-)

This chapter is the end? meh It could be better



But I'm feeling refreshed after reading because there's nearly 1 volume per fight.

Nowadays, people just want to see fast fights in battle shounens and I think this is complety absurd. The fights don't satisfy me anymore.



I'm hoping that the next parts are better and better.

I wonder how Weird Al reacted when he found out that he got a shoutout from Joseph Joestar. Dude just came back from the dead and the first thing he decides to do is to impersonate their greatest enemy after all.



Like all hard-fought victories, it was a given for them to be happy that the goal they all risked their lives for was finally attained but the losses that have occurred on the way prevented them from reaching the point of celebration because all that's left is bittersweet relief that Holly's saved.

Personally I think this was where Jojo's Bizarre Adventure really took off. Yeah, it was battle of the week and all but, seriously with the diversity of the Stands it didn't really matter at all to me. Jotaro was cool as fuck too and probably ranks as my favorite protagonist of the series so far. This final battle was incredible as well.



Looking forward to seeing this animated, I can't even begin to say how much more I liked this than the first two parts.

I wish Araki had ended it with more of an epilogue, but eh what can you do. Amazing series!
