I just finished Jojo's Bizzare Adventure S1. Holy crap, was it good.
About to watch Stardust Crusaders. Thoughts on it ?

Pros

-Great core team

-Best Jojo returns

-First opening for SC is one of my favorite anime openings

-Joseph cursing in English

-Tarot theme was cool

-Great humor

 

Cons

-New Jojo is overpowered and wins every fight in almost the same way

-Hamon is pretty much thrown away for essentially no reason (for the most part)

-Author still hates dogs for some reason

-Lots of plot-induced stupidity (honestly, I thought this was part of the charm...but I watched the show with a friend who almost dropped the anime for this reason...so I thought I'd list it)

-Lots of suspension of disbelief (same as above for me...but it did get to be a little much at times)

 

All my opinion of course...and I might be blowing some of the cons out of proportion. If you liked the first two arcs, you'll probably like Stardust Crusaders overall. The format feels a little different than the first two arcs though, in that it's more episodic this time around. There still is an underlying goal, but instead of constantly fighting a small group of villains, the heroes have a new villain to fight every episode or two episodes. I didn't really mind it...but I'd say the 2nd arc (Battle Tendency) is still my favorite part of the anime so far.
