Joseph’s stand Purple Hermit is just a bunch of purple vines but has its use. It looks likes some sort of hyro powered fighter or something. It’s humanoid like Stardust Plantinum, but has all these cords and looks all tubey.

I have no idea how to describe Dio’s stand, the World. Like Jotaro’s stand, Stardust Plantinum has an Azteck warrior look to it. Some of them are weird, and some of them are just frickin’ sweet. The stands of course are just unbelievable.

And in the manga, the cyborg Nazi stroheim would inspire Guile’s design in Street Fighter II. And Polernarf as confirmed by SNK would of course be the model of one of Team Japan’s favorite fighters, Benimaru. And Joseph now has this Indiana Jones look. Especially with the long school boy trench coat. Like Jotaro’s Japanese punk clothing you might see in Bebop High School. But I really like the sense of fashion he puts into his characters and gives variety. So if you read the manga from start to where it is right now, like Morikawa Jyoji’s Hajime no Ippo, you’re going to see an evolution to the style. The art is somewhat 80s with the clothing and the massive bodies, but when you look at it in comparison to the manga where it currently is with the Steel Ball Run arc, the art is becoming more leaner and more modern by current standards being more stereotypically anime with big eyes, but Araki still uses the weird poses and the water colors on his covers. I’m not saying it’s gay or metrosexual or however you wanna call it, I say it is probably meant to reflect on how Jojo is just weird, but in a cool and captivating way. But then he’d use water colors in some of his paintings on the covers to give it a somewhat more artistic distinctive look. Something lets say you can compare to the designs of the Battle Royale manga. But the art tends to evolve when Araki begins to make the bodies of his characters more lean and cut. Sometimes you’d wonder if Buronson was the artist himself because the styles were exactly alike because of the massive bodies and the execution of stiffer fights were also present. Initially, the manga had a Hokuto no Ken like approach to it. Even though he is a dog, he sure has a helluva an ego. And then there’s Iggy, the stand using dog. It’s just when it comes to comic relief characters in action anime and manga, they tend to be good will and natured.

Polernarf is somewhat of the comic relief of the series despite his serious intentions. I say it really helps when Hirotaka Suzuoki is your seiyuu. Like Kakyoin may seem cold and distant like Jotaro from an outside point of view, he’s very loyal, compassionate, and very formal. The supporting cast have their own unique qualities and personalities. The fact its supposed to be unorthodox really makes it unique in a different way. The fact that some factors of Jojo are complicated to explain does not negate its quality, but only amplifies it because it really makes you curious and alert to how its so original in a certain way. You really need to see the first two story arcs to learn about the origins of Dio and of Joseph, and reading it as a whole, you just see the build up was all for that moment. The manga is currently licensed by VIZ but I strongly disapprove of how they only releasing Stardust Crusaders and skipping out on Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency. Jojo, he already had the first 3 story arcs in mind and does an excellent job of exhibiting his magnificent creation he intricately planned out. Though the DVDs do have an extra that narrates them, it’s not that fun if you don’t read them first hand because you really see the transitions each story arc goes through and they are all captivating, and still continues to be that way as the manga progresses even after Stardust Crusaders. Though I strongly suggest you watch this anime, it will be confusing if you have no have familiarity with the first two story arcs of the manga which is a a major draw back. This anime series is based on the 3rd story arc of the manga, Stardust Crusaders.
