I just finished Jojo Stardust Crusaders, and holy carp, that was some of the worst anime I've ever seen.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'd agree that Stardust is more about the journey than the destination (as opposed to Parts 1 and 2, which had more of that overarching plot), but I felt the journey was pretty damned enjoyable. There's a lot more characterization (which I suppose does the opposite of help if you don't like the characters) and room for wacky nonsense.

On a broader note, the thing to remember about Jojo is that every part is innately experimental, because he's trying to do something different with it. The key here is in which ways; apparently you found Parts 1 and 2 to be similar enough to enjoy and lump together, whereas 3 changed something that altered its classification. That's unfortunate, but hard to predict.


I'm now curious if you're going to move on to Part 4, and what your opinions of it will be if so. It's highly episodic, but still has much more of an overarching plot than Stardust.

I am moving on to part 4. Only 5 episodes in, but so far it seems far better. I'm definitely optimistic at this point.

Just picked up Kimetsu no Yaiba for the four-episode test and I gotta say that ufotable knocked it out of the park. Shonen as all get-out of course, but the animation is superb, the music is great, and they managed to make 3D CG look good -- this coming from someone who fucking despises 3D CG.

This might not be the best place to ask, but is there a western animation equivalent to Crunchyroll?

Netflix?

In other news, I feel like the second season of OPM is starting to show the seams. The writing is still quite good, although moving to an arc-model is very standard shounen. Also, whilst the animation isn’t bad, I feel like it’s lacking the ambition of the first season. Basically you start to notice a lot of very standard shounen shortcuts.

It’s kind of annoying when the first season was built entirely on subversion, and now it’s just more MHA. Still great, but not what made it gold in the first place.

Unless I've made a mistake, that is not true, since Netflix is not free.

I'm not sure if they still offer it, but you can get 1 month in a free trial.

I just finished watching the latest dubbed episode of Jojo DiU, where Kira's new power was revealed...

Talking about One Piece.
Someone said that the Human Human Fruit is the worst devil fruit. While it isn't the best fruit, and probably deserves a spot near the bottom, he said its because it is useless when eaten by a human.
It explicitly gives its user to speak all human languages, which, while not super useful, is far from useless.
And it theoretically doubles its users strength, durability, Etc., Though that is speculation.
In addition, unless the Jailer Beasts are not human, the Human Human Fruit is probably the best awakened zoan ( Of a non-mythic.), since it would not give you animal intelligence like the rest.

I don't remember how Kira's power worked in the manga, but I don't think I remember being confused by it at all.

Heh. A random redditor doing a First Million Words project wrote a short story about shapeshifters who would turn into their spirit animal, and one turned into a human, becoming twice as human.
Definitely has a HFY angle, but I'd say it agrees with what you're saying. A human eating the human-human fruit would probably be a superperson.

'Course, twice a human in one piece world probably still leaves you basically cannon fodder tier on its own, iirc, so... yeah. Baseline human doesn't seem to mean much in that setting. Multiplier would help but you'd need like more than just double to be particularly meaningful without some sort of assistance.
