Keijo is an interesting show as far as it's genre goes. In essence the entire idea of keijo as a sport is a joke, and when these people take it so seriously and have these epic over-the-top battles it just adds to the comedy. Furthermore, while the fanservice is there, it is more or less a pretense to the joke of keijo overall. Despite this, under all this fanservice it tries to be a decent sports anime, and while it is seems cliche (being a "work up from the bottom" kind of story) the joke that is the sport keijo and the utter ridiculousness of the various concepts that are essential to the anime's story are the things that make it unique. On another note the anime does have decent writing and characters (main characters are actually somewhat unique, no plotholes or anything yet either). So, I'm not sure if you've watched it, or past episode one if you have, but give it a chance - Jojo isn't the only decent anime/manga out there.
