Two things about Jojo:

1) I can feel brain cells dying as I take it in, and

2) It's so worth it!

spot the jojo reference is a good drinking game, especailly if spot the gundam referecne becomes too intense.. or just play both. my favorite anime for spot jojo is kiniro mozaic.

Perhaps more interesting is the fact that we can see Jojo's influence in some more contemporary titles (remember, Araki's manga dates to 1986), such as Monkey D. Luffy's ability to extend his limbs in Eiichiro Oda's One Piece – one of the powers of hamon is that users can disconnect their joints to extend their arms or legs to greater lengths.

Or maybe they all got the idea from Stretch Armstrong (1976) and Japan's version, Mr. X by Tsukuda. Smile

Viz out did themselves with the first volume. One of the best presentations i've ever seen and i'm foaming at the mouth to see parts I through III in hardcover, uncensored, on my book shelf. What a time to be alive!
