Firstly for fights, they're fun with creative strategies, some of them have a lot of explanations, some of them are hard to follow whats happening, but it may be a manga problem. I only hated one fight, but the problems are ones that the anime can fix. I think the prison setting limits some of them tho. The stands are the most creative and bizarre in the series (after it the author returns to simpler concepts), with lots of different approaches, especially the ones from the second half of the story. The characters, well, our female Jojo is a cool protagonist, badass, intelligent and funny, i just love her. Main cast in general are great, same to their stands, but it lacks some interactions between them off-fight, like Vento Aureo and Diamond is Unbreakable where you feel the friendship between the characters. The main villain is a interesting character with deep ambitions, i like whenever he is present. The minor antagonists are not that special, but they have interesting backstory. So, about the plot, i think its the best aspect of Stone Ocean. The involvement of the villain and his complicated ambitions are one the best things about it, as the story unfolds it just becomes better and better, i loved every bit of it, especially the backstories related to it. Jojo has always a thing with the concept of fate, and this time its even more visible.

Well, its my third favorite part, and i think it suffers a lot of injustice from the fandom. Anyway, the anime always makes the manga even better, so i say that it is worth having hype.
