Comparatively, art means nothing in the face of Characters and Story. It could be used to bolster the quality of the work, however, it should always be considered the cherry on top and should not be used under any circumstances to be a replacement for quality story and characters. I do love the characters in Jojo, however, the plot leaves much to be deserved. After the first two parts, it becomes a mostly episodic villain of the week series, with the only exception being Part 7 which is so ridiculous and convuluded that you can’t take it seriously. The characters are also lacking beyond the first two parts, as the cleverness and ridiculousness of the original characters are lost over time. Especially in the most overrated part, Vento Aureo, in which it is 100% skippable and the battles are mostly brawn over brains. It is still a decent show, but it is not as good as some people make it out to be.
