A few years ago,I had a post in the forums called "Fictional Immigrants to the United States in anime." It was about anime characters who emigrated to the United States of America. I got the idea for this post from a Wikipedia category. Sadly for me,it didn't last too long and I've been hoping one day to repost it. Although I admit that those types of characters are rare in anime,it's fascinating to see an outsider's take on stuff like this.
What I'm wondering,is Robert E.O. Speedwagon of "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" one of those characters? When I first saw the guy in the first part of the series,he was a poor man in Britain. By the time of the second part of the series,he's a millionaire. I was wondering if he was one of those rare characters that I hoped to do,but never really got the chance to explore. What do you guys think? Is Speedwagon one of those characters or not? I hope you guys can help me figure it out.

After watching all those seasons of this anime, I have to say that the author is, not doubt, manga genius along with creators of Hunter x Hunter and Naruto in terms of how wicked smart somethings are conceived.
Also, the style of this JoJo project is so outrageously ridiculous both visually and in terms of story, that it is breathtakingly amazing.
In terms of story the latest part of the manga that was animated -- Diamond is Unbreakable offers viewers to sympatheticise with character cast almost all of which consists of maniacal murderous sociopaths that did not end up killing main protagonists only by chance and then just changed their minds for the time being about their easy-going attitude towards giving torturous sadistical deaths to the people they have slightest disagreements with.

Part 5, Episode 1
Solid first episode imo.
The character reactions and appearance of the main characters has my attention. Loved the stylish art for this too. Giorno is pretty cool to watch and it's neat to see some Stands in action already. I just hope we get the OP song next week.
Felt like the usual Jojo atmosphere that I was expecting and it's pretty damn entertaining experience.

A bit too much posing for me, but the story lines are good and sometimes quite humorous.
I liked in an earlier set when JoJo called the Italian (can't remember his name) a "mozzarella cheeseball" and nearly got spiked by some linguine as a reply.
Then there's the girl in the Diamonds series, Yukato? who is just over the top.
Overall. it's fun to watch on toonami, but I'm not inclined yo buy the sets.

Not a single person discussed Part 5. Must not be a lot of JoJo's fans, around here.
