(Rating as an anime) I don't think I've seen a show quite like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The show sits currently at 4 seasons (5 parts), and it remains fresh and unique. The animation (while there's some weak points) is for the most part, really good. Most of the fights are extremely interesting. They usually involve outwitting an opponent using their unique ability and the environment rather than pure strength, and it makes this fresh experience that I'm not used to seeing in a show about fighting. Characters are well written and fleshed out, and each have their own unique personality that really brings the show to life. I don't think there was really ever a point that I was bored. However, the first 9 episodes are probably the weakest. Episodes 1-9 (based off of the part titled "Phantom Blood") is as generic as the show gets. The characters are forgettable, especially the protagonist, Jonathan, whose main traits can be boiled down to "I'm a nice guy". Another criticism that I have with the show is that sometimes characters win battles with stupid conveniences, there are plenty of fights that characters use abilities that they've never used before, and never use again. It always felt like they were included just to give the character an edge in that specific situation. Other than that, I don't really have any other massive criticisms that I want to address. Overall, it's a great show and I'm giving it a 7/10. It's closer to an 8 than a 6.
