Basically the serious topic ist "people who have troubles integrating themselves into society due to whatever reasons and live the life of a hikikomori as a result".
The "solution" the author proposes is to shut those people off their monetary supply to force them to be part of the working population. This is such a rude and disrespectful way of tackling the issue and it completely ignores the underlying problem. "Just let them starve to death" is pretty much the conclusion the series reaches and it just ends there.
If they have no money to buy food, they cannot shut themselves in. Problem solved.
Just... no.
It is not a good social commentary. It does not solve any problems. It does not explore the reasons for such a behavior. And it does nothing except making fun of it. I was fairly disappointed since I was expecting the series to be more than that; to offer a solution or a new perspective. But it didn't.
"Suck it, weirdos! Time to grow up and get some work" is all I got from it and that's a damn shame...

I think this is the first villian that I've felt is truly vile in Jojo. Dio was an asshole that thought he was God but he didn't feel truly evil for evils sake. Same as the Pillar men. They were just not human so human morality didn't work. This guy is just straight up evil. His stand even seems vile.

Mediocre. Very low key for a first ep, but the story doesn't really pick up until the gang's all here. Animation looked a bit iffy at parts.

Hair insults didn't have enough tension. They didn't even do the hair spikes, which was kinda disappointing.



The opening scene was pretty funny. Caught me off guard. I don't remember that being in the manga, but it's a good shoutout.

Decent ep.

The scene where Kiku and Konatsu butt heads is great. Konatsu saying that her boisterousness comes from her father and that her vindictiveness comes from her mother is perfect. She's both of Kiku's demons in a single package.

Yotaro's performance being a spitting image of Sukeroku's was another scene that was really well done.

There's a lot of shit they needed to setup for s2, to the point that the ep itself felt a little rushed. They even called it out in the post-credits scene, to my amusement.

So what's up with Stands being the plot again. I thought the plot for the previous season was Holly was dying from getting a Stands so they went to kill Dio the source of Stands. It just stopped new Stands from appearing and Holly's was still developing? This will be a follow up to last season, but I guess the next season can't use stands again unless it wants all characters to be very old or have stands develop when they were babies.

Stand lore is not consistent. Hell, Part 7 states that stands come from meteorites. Similarly, Part 4 has its own thing going on. Don't think about it too much.

Stands are in every Part from here on out. If he wanted to, Araki could make up a new way to give everyone an arbitrary superpower, but for whatever reason, the idea of stands just stuck.

thats the lores in jojo world haha.

and the people in jojo world can have the manifestation of their stands in several way:

1) genetical (triggered by extremely strong emotion determination), the rarest bunch

2) highly implied that, one way or another came across the artifact (arrows, ought to be related to the mask/s in jojo1/2)

3) + Show Spoiler [JoJo7] +

We have also seen 1+2 situations too.

in JoJo4 many of the characters were 'created' by that old dude by sneakily make a cut on people lol.
