Strictly JoJo

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Strength (E7 of Part 3). It's probably the most awkward episode of Part 3. Yes, this enemy Stand user is a very creepy monkey and we talk plenty about that. But we also talk about the eerie horror vibes Araki presents in this part of the story, Jotaro and Anne's unique relationship, and much more! Join our Discord: https:/...

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Dark Blue Moon (E6 of Part 3). For this milestone 50th episode, we're reviewing one of the most mid fights in Part 3. But don't worry, what this enemy Stand user lacks in fighting ability, Jotaro makes up in dumb yet hilarious moments that include telling Avdol to "say something," feeling up some tits, and thinki...

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Silver Chariot (E5 of Part 3). We get to know every facet of Jean Pierre Polnareff, including his Stand, his backstory, and his personality.

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Tower of Gray (E4 of Part 3). This episode is literally just four dudes fighting a bug on an airplane.

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stardust Crusaders: Who Will Be the Judge!? (E2 of Part 3). It's the introduction of the cherry-licking, mother-loving, wide-mouth-having JoBro known as Noriaki Kakyoin. And no JoJo introduction is complete without adding a bunch of abilities that we'll never see this character use ever again. But that's ok, because Kakyoin still does some am...

We read bad reviews of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Surprisingly (or not) there are some people who really, really hate JoJo. And those people sometimes leave hilariously bad reviews of the anime. So we searched the internet for some of the best bad reviews out there to share with all of you.⁠ ⁠ Plus, we discuss the recent announcement about the second cour of Stone Ocean and what it means for the po...

We discuss the worst localized Stand names in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. A lot of things in JoJo get memed, and one of those things is localized Stand names. Look, we get it. They're trying to avoid a massive lawsuit or having to pay crazy amounts of money for all the rights needed to keep the original names. But that won't stop the JoJo fandom from doing what they do best: making memes out of it....

We discuss iconic sound design in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Plenty of anime have amazing sound effects, but there's something so distinct, impressive, and satisfying about the sounds in JoJo that you won't find in other shows. From the sound of Hamon ringing, to the Stand cries of Star Platinum and Gold Experience, to the fart noises of The Hand and Burning Down the House, we share some of our fav...

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Torrential Downpour Warning (E12 of Part 6). It's the climactic moment of the first part of Stone Ocean, and it's full of...poisonous frogs? Jolyne and Pucci are backed into corners as they fight for their lives against the wonders of nature. Also, someone tries to shoot a bird.⁠ Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/4Rnq4GTePP Su...

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Operation Savage Garden (Head to the Courtyard!) (2) (E11 of Part 6).

We may not be big-brained enough to know whether the physics described in this...

For this episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, we review Stone Ocean: Operation Savage Garden (Head to the Courtyard!) (1) (E10 of Part 6).
