38 and 39 are out.

I can see why this is supposedly the black sheep of JoJo arcs/parts. I just didn't enjoy it overall as much as other parts. The gangSTARS were generally unlikable, and most characters had to act very stupid/unobservant for the stand battles to garner much tension, which felt artificial. The story felt like it didn't really go anywhere by the end as well. What was Giorno's goal again? Is there any reason Polnareff is a pet now? The flashback arc could have been interesting, if it didn't feel like the biggest ret-con in Jojo history because there was no other foreshadowing about Buchirati's death in the whole arc. It was the kind of thing that was entertaining enough until I looked back on what it revealed and got annoyed.

When Diavolo was experiencing his autopsy in the eternal punishment-no-jutsu, I thought he was time looping to the prison where his mother was impregnated and finally giving life to that old Chuck Norris joke that he must have fathered himself... but not so.

Still looking forward to part six, whenever that comes out, but more in a "I've been watching this for 7 years; might as well check out the new season" kind of way. Maybe my Jojo passion has run its course? It is markedly juvenile, after all. Hope you all enjoy the finale more than I did.
