That one's a classic.

I agree. Teen Titans Go pretty much ruined the original Teen Titans. Not only does it mess up everyone's characters, but they apparently thought it would be a great idea to turn it into some kind of comedy. The worst part is that they show it all the time, when it's pretty much the worst show on Cartoon Network right now.

Yes I agree the 8th doctor is a very underrated doctor and I wish he had more screen time than a 90 min movie and a 7 min short. But hey at least we have Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories

Seriously, this is one of the worst things I've watched in my life. It sucks. Yes, I think it is this bad. And the characters... all of them - they are so dull. I can't believe I wasted my time with this.

For what it's worth, I liked Another okay. It wasn't exactly the pinnacle of the horror genre, but then, I haven't really seen very many "great" horror stories.

And oh wow, it's kinda the best. Its disappointing to think how "normal" the anime will get from here on out in comparison

I think I would have liked the Part 3 anime more if it didn't go on for twice as long as Parts 1 & 2 combined.
But yes, Part 2 is the best.

I can assure you - it doesn't get "normal". I adore Battle Tendency, and thought it would be my favorite forever, but I just finished reading Part 4 of the manga in preparation for the upcoming anime, and - it's so, so weird, and so, so good. Part 4 is my favorite now.
Definitely watch Stardust Crusaders (it's ALSO amazing!) and Diamond is Unbreakable when it comes out this April. The conceit isn't Hamon anymore, it's Stands, but honestly, I feel like with Stands is really when JoJo starts to really come into its own.
(Also, Joseph as a grandpa is absolute gold)

Y'see the thing is I kinda DID watch Stardust Crusaders...
I checked out the old OVA version and it was pretty great but it was so much more a straight fighter anime. I remember so many fights being decided by "HORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORAHORA" and that was basically it. In Battle Tendency it's all about stupid crazy tricks and granted Stardust Crusader's gets it's moments. I LOVED the D'arby the Gambler bit from Stardust Crusaders (though in hindsight, seeing what a tricksy badass Joseph is I find it hard to believe he ever could be beaten in this manner).
As for the Hamon-Stand thing I'm really curious to see how they'll explain that. Weird Life-Breathing energy is put out the way for Personas? Can Joseph even still do it? Are Vampires or Pillar Men even still a thing? How the hell is Dio still around? I know from the OVA he fused with Jonathan as he'd always planned to do so but Jonathan died specifically preventing that from happening.
So many questions....

Ah. Well, the new anime series of Stardust Crusaders obviously isn't that much different from the OVA plot-wise, but it's a lot more thorough. (Joseph does use Hamon a couple times! He hasn't forgotten, he apparently just rarely bothers anymore.)
But, yeah, the fights could get kind of tedious sometimes, because they were usually solved by just punching things a lot. If that was the part that disappointed you, though, I still highly recommend Part 4. All the Stands have very specific and very strange abilities, and the "fights" are more like puzzles to be solved on the fly using the extremely specific powers at hand rather than enemies to be punched into submission. They get pretty out there. (There's also a little bit more explanation of where Stands come from.)

But whatever...he had his moment and his moment was FABULOUS.
Do they ever truly explain why Stands just popped up though?

(It really was
)I mean, figuring out what the mechanism is that gives people Stands, and trying to get it away from the bad guy, is a major part of the plot in Part 4. Where that thing comes from, and why Dio ever had it... less so.

It could've easily been better and less rushed, but hell. It's been a good run. No, not quite. A GREAT run.

Yeah. A few more episodes could have given us more time to explore the Author's character, and maybe even Bill, but I respect Alex Hirsch's decision to end the show now and not risk the series entering seasonal rot.
