Best of 2016: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

By Robert Ramos

If you listen to Super S - Anime Podcast, then you've heard me rave and review over this season's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I'm completely obsessed with this series and I have this season to thank for that. It's also because of this season that the anime as a whole solidified it's number 3 spot on my Top 5.

The beauty in this season is that if you are completely new to the world of JoJo, you can jump right in and not be confused. While this season doesn't necessarily serve as a stand alone, it does work well enough to attract new viewers. Mix in a beautiful color palette with a likable protagonist and interesting murder mystery plot, sprinkle in some of the coolest (and outrageous. eg: the rat) Stands based off of Musicians and/or song titles and you get Diamond is Unbreakable. And the cherry on top? Crazy (Shining) Diamond punching a plate of spaghetti.

Yup. I love this fucking show.
