I nominate the first episode of Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe to be the Official Intro To Jojo For The Busy Person. Needs no lore baggage so no getting dragged through 5 hours of Part 3 to get to the Good Shit, or worse, like 20+ hours of Parts 1 through 3. It's a pretty good representative of stand battles I think. Yes, catching popcorn with your mouth to dispel a curse is a stand battle.
Also it's a good anime, it's like a bunch of stand concepts that didn't quite make the cut for being too goth, presented in some silly Twilight Zone format. Absolutely zero Nietzsche. It's neat.
I don't know what else to say about Thus Spoke Rohan Kishive except that it's good and I like it.
Yeah it's definitely a good introduction to Jojo. I think the only thing that's really missing is the joestars themselves, because they have very obvious protagonist energy, while Rohan is written like a particularly active side character. I know Josuke is in one of the episodes but that doesn't count, he doesn't do anything
The fitness episode was the fucking best.
I love how the guy starts as realistically abusive, stealing his girlfriend's money for protein powder but then we just watch his decent into complete madness and by the end he's turning into a god and murdering everyone who pisses him off.
Should be required watching for everyone on c/fitness as an example of what not to do.
oh yeah not shitting on part 1, though I do think that the highly conceptual/gimmicky stand battles are probably what most people would want to show to their friends when introducing JJBA.
