Review of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind
I'm a sucker for a good Jojo anime, but this would be the first one I have formally reviewed. Vento Aureo is outstanding. I've only seen bits and pieces of the original manga, but I've heard that the anime is a fairly impressive adaptation. It even goes as far to flesh out scenes that were considered "relatively minor" in the manga as they were sort of like Araki's personal joke 'easter eggs' as it were. I mean, the Torture Dance? Oh my goodness. I was not prepared for a full length sequence of that. An immaculate work of beautifully crafted storytelling. Gorgeous visuals (though prone to David Production's occasional oddartstyle choices from time to time.)
An extremely memorable and even addictive soundtrack that really sticks with the viewer long after watching.
I'm not entirely sure if there was a part of this anime I didn't like. It's one of the extremely rare exceptions to "I will never give a 10/10 rating to something" rule.
So please. Araki, David Production, congratulations.
You have earned this 10 from me.
