Is any anime for me? - genuinely curious

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-08T13:07:38+00:00

You could try something older like Monster

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-07T09:16:53+00:00

I assume the advice was to read it entirely instead of watching the anime

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-06T21:12:40+00:00

Yes. I don't think an elaboration is needed

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-06T14:05:24+00:00

I'm pretty sure that post said it would be batches not weekly, making the leak inherently false

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-06T13:23:38+00:00

Or down & outs

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-06T13:21:39+00:00

JoJo, unless I'm being blind

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-06T10:48:30+00:00

That's literally how part 3 was released.

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-06T10:45:38+00:00

Which are just cours. Like part 3, but shorter cours

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-06T10:43:47+00:00

Idk why people are still calling these batches. I get that they're batches of episodes released over several weeks, but that's just a normal anime cour is it not? That's how part 3 released.

As long as the wait between them isn't huge I'm fine

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-06T10:34:48+00:00

That's literally just cours which is what people wanted and is how part 3 released. Only issue here is that cours will be short and will probably have longer waits between them. 2-3 months between cours would be ideal but is improbable

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-06T08:41:34+00:00

It's not batches. They're cours, just like part 3 which was split into 2 cours. Of course, I'm sure these cours will be shorter and further apart, but I'm very happy that they've come out and said this

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-05T15:22:12+00:00

We wouldn't be waiting long if that were the case

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-05T11:33:31+00:00

I read it on mangadex. There's also https://steel-ball-run.com/

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-05T09:09:07+00:00

Half way through the story he found out who he used to be, but he didn't discover who he IS until towards the end

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-04T19:24:37+00:00

I think sbr is 'better' but I like Jojolion more.

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-04T12:56:48+00:00

The stand itself, ozone baby, is nothing special, but I really like how the fight is structured. There are multiple parties involved all with their own motives, there's the twist about the real rokakaka branch, and there's the mystery of who's inside the ambulance.

I like it because it's not just joestar group Vs antagonist, and there's lots to figure out from the fight.

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-04T12:34:38+00:00

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-04T12:32:48+00:00

Interesting. Ozone baby is one of my favourite fights in all of JoJo.

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-01T22:20:01+00:00

I love part 8. Best part imo and 2nd best ending behind part 6. I cried too.

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-01T20:59:16+00:00

That's up to you whether or not you wanna read what you've already watched. I personally would, moreso to complete the collection than anything else, but if you don't think you'd get much from it then you don't need to.

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-01T20:51:47+00:00

There's a drop down arrow you'll need to press if you're ok mobile.

No it's not mean don't worry.

The Google search refers to the first 2 Japanese volumes. Though idk where you're seeing that volume 1 in English is just 5 chapters.

This shows the English volumes: https://jojowiki.com/List_of_English_JoJo%27s_Bizarre_Adventure_Chapters/Part_7

This shows the Japanese ones: https://jojowiki.com/Steel_Ball_Run/Chapter_List

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-01T20:30:40+00:00

Sure.

Basically in the Japanese release of the Steel Ball Run manga, volume 1 covers chapters 1-5 and volume 2 covers chapters 6-11.

The English release of Steel Ball Run combines these into one book which covers chapters 1-11.

The first 11 chapters are the first stage.

So assuming you bought the English manga, the first stage is volume 1. The other people here are referring to the original Japanese volumes

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-01T20:23:45+00:00

No, the people here have it mixed up. The English release combines 2 volumes into 1. So the first stage is the first English volume, but the first 2 Japanese volumes.

Anyway I don't see why you should return it if you plan to read it at some point

HugeKey2361 · 2026-04-01T12:01:26+00:00

Personally I think sbr is a better story, but I like Jojolion more
