Review of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind
The last animated part at the time of this review. Now we leave Japan again to find ourselves in 21st century Italy, with mafias and Stand users loose in the streets. This part takes character development to an extreme, where the protagonist is the entire crew. Story: Immersive and attractive storyline with interesting characters and plot points. Most twists are foreshadowed in some way and, although some critical points are justified with "fate", this ties well into the rest of the series. I don't give it a full 10 because I am still a bit skeptical about that "fate". Art: Not much to say, the style isgorgeous with breathtaking panoramic shots. The beauty of Italy is realistically portrayed in a level that you can recognize most locations shown in the series in real life. When the colorful town of Morioh in the previous part made me think that David Production had peaked, this comes and proves me wrong.
Sound: A well crafted soundtrack to go with the intense fights and relaxing interactions, as expected from this show. You've definitely listened a song from this part multiple times, since it got extremely popular.
Characters: Outstanding character development, including the antagonist. Almost no segment focuses in a single character, and every main character gets a long backstory and a fulfilling, some times sad, end to their arc.
Overall enjoyment: Some aspects such as "fate" may affect the storyline a bit, but it does nothing to the rest of the work. The evolution of both David Productions' ability in adapting the manga and Araki's writing is evident. This is a show worth watching by anyone. But don't forget to watch the previous parts!
