peachygirl263 's review for:
ジョジョリオン 1
by 荒木 飛呂彦, Hirohiko Araki

Edit: Review time!
(This review pertains to the entirety of Jojolion, but I'll take caution to avoid spoilers)
((If you are a friend of mine, see this on your dashboard, and have no idea what I'm talking about: I'm sorry.))
I don't dismiss the claims that Araki's storytelling is bizarre (hehe). Certain loopholes or ideas come out of nowhere and magically make everything work out, but at this point, it's that wonderfully wackiness that brings people back. If a fan has made it this far, there's a good chance that they will be fine with characters and plotlines that just barely align with reality (but always get their science right).
Aside from my Araki defense speech, this was truly a wonderful part. It felt fresh and new, with characters that held a meaningful presence and impact throughout the entire storyline. The details that shaped the characters' morals and overall lore of the universe hit with the perfect amount of punch. Most importantly, it was a well constructed story that despite having so many factors and details stuffed in it, I was able to follow along smoothly and enjoy everything as it came.
Overall, Jojolion was a joy to experience, and with finishing it, I am finally caught up with the world of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! That is, until this next February...

Spoiler
After finishing Steel Ball Run, I found myself a bit disappointed by what felt like a typical "Stand-of-the-week" that quickly became repetitive, as well as having the ending spoiled :(. I took a bit of a break, went into Jojolion with an open mind, avoided spoilers, and it exceeded my expectations.I don't dismiss the claims that Araki's storytelling is bizarre (hehe).
