A lot of the fights suffer from horrible pacing issues, which is something I think the anime will end up fixing DPO seem to be very obsessive with their adaptation so I'm not sure if we can just bank on them fixing pacing issues seeing as how they go to great lengths to be as faithful as they can. They changed some story points around in Part 4 to have the story flow better but depsite adapting to Part 3 and enjoying it a lot now, its pace was all over the place at times. It simply did not need to be as long as it was. Animation in general will clean up potentially confusing looking artwork but not all.

​​It's great to see what people like though, I'm not that big a fan of Part 5 anymore because I didn't like the characters and I felt the plot had no focus but I like Part 6 for its slower approach to world building, which is why I think people called Part 1 and 2 slow.

I think what I mean is that the pacing will be improved simply by virtue of being an anime. Like, I just think the fights will flow better in an animated medium, not necessarily that DP will deliberately change anything.

It is interesting to see what others think, though. I didn't really like Part 6 for the same reasons you didn't really like Part 5, and yet we both still enjoy Jojo enough up talk about it on a post like this. It's so fascinating to me.

I went away and thought about it and you’re right, an animation will help a lot of things just by being an animation. But surely if one dislikes the source an animation is based off of then it won’t help much. Or maybe it will? I’m starting to think the JoJo manga is superior anyway because the changes feel more gradual.

Thank you, I hope you didn’t find my response to you rude or anything. It’s just that I don’t really get an opportunity to discuss ideas with people, so if the possibility arises, I’ll take it. With JoJo for example, most of my friends either saw it years ago or don’t wish to comment; not to mention any post I make in a subreddit just gets buried. To me, though, doesn’t matter how old something is, I’ll always be up for a discussion, I love to learn.

It’s a learning experience, it took me a while to get over the abandonment of Hamon but I think I’m getting there. I want to like Part 5 though, I don’t just wanna dislike part of something in a series I like. I’m not that big a fan of slice of life, not mention after Part 3 it felt like whiplash, but I’ve grown to like Part 4 because of its excellent second half. The characters of the first half turned me off because they all tried to kill the main characters and now they’re friends with them? Part 5 started out great but it just went on too long and by the time they got to the coliseum the entire focus of the plot just shifted and I clocked out.
