You guys no the gist now right? new post new part! We're at Diamond is Unbreakable! The first part of many that have yet to be converted to anime. Like I said last post all future post will be about manga, the Japanese comics. Set in the late 90s the protagonist (or should I say Jojo) of this one is Josuke Higashikata a high schooler who is also the illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar the protagonist of part 2 who's close to 80 now. (Talk about a foxy grandpa.) Jotaro and Joseph visit the boy while investigating a string of what they believe to be stand related murders. Things get bizarre pretty quick but unlike the previous parts there's very little traveling. It all takes place in the small town of Morioh, Japan. It has yet another extensive cast of characters including one based of the author himself!
While the story has the intense combat we've grown to love in previous parts it also has a lot of daily life stories. Simple humorous side stories like high school boys trying to pick up girls or make lots of cash fast. These are often refereed to as slice of life as they are some what relatable every day life scenarios.( as relatable as a high schooler with super natural powers can be of course...).
Another new feature in this anime is the author's change in the art style. While previous works had a heavily muscled masculine approach he now goes for a more androgynous take towards characters. He initially started with this approach but changed it all together by the end and stuck with it for the following series.
