Thursday, January 9th - Finished Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders

Holy shit. Ok they were not lying when they told me Jojo's was peak. I've gotten through part 3 now and godddddd it was so good. I had so much fun. It was so awesome.

My two gripes with Part 3 were just that I felt like Avdol's death was.... not good. It was just like. Too abrubt and did him dirty. I didn't even process at first that he was liek actually dead until like 4 pages after. I also just wish that Joseph... did more. I know he's not the protagonist so I'm not really upset but it's still sad considering the antics he was up to in part 2.

Overall though, I just had a really good time. The thing with Jojo's is that it has just been genuinely very fun to read. It's easy to read like 300 pages super fast because it is so good at keeping you entertained. I had a great time.

This is my overall tier list for the parts I've read so far (open in a new tab for higher resolution if you need it). Overall part 2 and 3 are definitely my favorites of the 3 I've read, but I have a hard time picking between which I like more. Regardless, I've had a good time with the story so far, and this list is all in good fun. Kars + The Pillarmen are definitely my favorite antagonists though. Dio is cool, but like... I dunno! Something about the sillyguy antics of the pillarmen captivated me. I think as a protagonist I like Joseph's antics a bit more, but Jotaro is also up to some antics often, just in a much more deadpan sort of way. Ultimately they are tied.

Overall I think the story in this part was really solid and I was genuinely invested in all of the characters stories. The main crw was really endearing to me and I enjoyed how they all played off of each other. It was a very funny manga with a cast of characters I really liked!

Next up is Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable. Everyone tells me I will love this part, so I'm very excited to read it ^-^!
