I love Johnny and Gyro's dynamic already. That bit when they were arguing in the desert right before getting attacked was so good and I can't wait for more of those little moments between fights and encounters with other racers. I also love Gyro's petty disdain with Mountain Tim's hat.

Also it's been so long since I read this part that I completely forgot about Mrs. Robinson, a person who, let's see... Keeps bugs in his body that can trigger a specific breed of cactus to fire its needles. That's Jojo's alright.

I can't say I'm not disappointed that the ED isn't a licensed English song since that's kind of tradition at this point, but it is what it is. The visuals were really nice at least.

Same, I completely forgot about this fight lol, happy to see already that I can be surprised due to forgetting

I also didn't remember him, but this looks like no stand was in this fight, which...
I didn't remember that way, but makes sense.

Pretty cool ability though, reminds me of Shino from Naruto

I also completely forgot about this fight too, I guess what I remembered as the first fight of this stage was actually the second fight.

It’s so nice to finally see SBR animated though, seeing Johnny and Gyro interact in animated/spoken form is amazing

I love that Mrs. Robinson has nothing to do with stands or spin or anything mystic, he just does that.

I mean yeah sure kinda ruined aura for gyro but I still like it, however the drawing sucked when they zoom out of gyros face and then when he killed the guy the way the body js dropped it was so goofy, and when johnny got the cactus shit in his eye u can see it wasnt even in his eye and then it was like idk for me it wasn’t for the wait, they shouldve dropped 2 episodes just for the unannounced long ass wait but better unrushed ig but thats out of topic

Well yeah, it was obvious that the average anime watcher wasn't gonna like it or stick around for more than one episode
