Having "bizarre" in the title shouldn't give a book free reign to do whatever it wants, but it helps. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure certainly does whatever it wants. Whatever it wants including, but not limited to: a vampire with a human's body, spirit warriors, tongue devouring bugs, gamblers who play for souls, a foul-mouthed/tempered dog, and more vehicle wrecks than any Hollywood action flick could dream of.
Hirohiko Araki schizophrenic epic manga series works though, because it sets up the rules of the bizarre adventure and rarely, if ever breaks them. So it's easy to accept anything and everything, as long as the reader isn't betrayed. It doesn't hurt that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is packed with blood, humor, and pop culture references (the title itself inspired the Beatles song, "Get Back.") Also, as the kid who sold me on the series noted, the characters in JoJo's don't become magically stronger or gain a coincidental new skill to fight a stronger enemy, instead, they must use the skills they as a group or as an individual possess. While the outcome of the fights are sometime resolved unconvincingly, the series always relies on the characters using their brains to guide their brawn.
