I'm curious as to how many of the people complaining actually know how this part of the manga worked...I wasn't expecting it to be ridiculously high budget and for what they've shown so far it looks decent in my opinion. Not amazing but certainly not worth the some of the complaints here. Part 1 of the series doesn't really get into flashy battles till the second half, and even then it's nowhere near as over the top as the rest of the franchise. I'd think it would be best to at least withhold judgement till we see the actual fight scenes.

Exactly. The problem is that most people know of JoJo as that crazy & flashy action title that features outrageous stands that everyone fights with... And when they see Part 1 footage, which is almost completely different in execution, they complain that it isn't what they were expecting. Well, everything has to start somewhere, and with JoJo it started with a focus on slow-paced, horror-inspired storytelling with little action scenes, and those that were there weren't in the same style as what the series became known for.

Also, like you said, Part 1 doesn't go into crazy action until the second half, and everything that's shown in the trailer is from the first half of Part 1, which is slow, somewhat brooding, & nowhere the same type of style that JoJo would end up being known as. For all we know, the studio could be holding back on the budget for these slower early scenes so that they can save the money for the action sequences in the second half of Part 1. It's too early to really judge the entire thing, but for what the trailer was covering it looked good. Honestly, it's like people are treating this worse than when Bee Train animated Blade of the Immortal.

But, then again, people seem to love over-hyping themselves & getting disappointed, since it happens time & time again to the point where people have made jokes about that very behavior. For me, just being able to see JoJo animated as a TV series was awesome enough; the fact that there's stuff like Takehito Koyasu voicing Dio, a Yes song being used for an ending theme, and animation that actually looks good and similar to the early days of Araki's style (i.e. crazy poses & metrosexuality are at a bare minimum) just makes me all the happier.

Production values look pretty crummy there, but I guess everyone will give it a pass due it being Jojo.

Yeah it didn't really look good,but voice acting sounds rather impressive.

Actually most of the fans of Jojo are now obsessed fangirls I believe,pretty much all the stuff that was published after part 4 was followed by its female fanbase.I seriously don't know any guy(expect from Jason Thompson) who followed it with enthusiasm from then on.

Theres a major difference between being very popular and actually making money. When you got a late night TV slot like this new JoJo show has, you need to be popular among the otaku fanbase to make money, not the mainstream.

JoJo can regarded as very influencial and very popular, but it doesn't mean anything when it comes to sales. Lupins new series just went on sale, and its one of those "Super influential series", yet its projected to be outsold by the Spit fetish show.

In a normal season jojo might of had a chance of doing quite well...but this season is different. Fall has 4 big fujoshi shows (K,magi, gintama 3 and psycho pass) and the chances of jojo out preforming those four are slim to none. The older crowd might buy it but that didn't work well with hxh but since its taking kurokos timeslot maybe it'll increase manga sales. And personally i thought the PV was great but eh whatever.

Jojo isn't not taking Kurokos timeslot, its taking Accel Worlds timeslot, which is a late nighter. I'm not sure exactly what is taking Kurokos timeslot though.

JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure The Animation
24:30 MX (10/5)

The initial airing is the most important thing for the demographics its aiming at, since they are the station on the production committee and will be doing the ads and stuff.
