Fellow JoJo fan checking in. It's one of the first anime that I checked out when I was trying to get into anime, although I only watched most of Phantom Blood and kinda just stopped. It wasn't until about a year ago when I got back into a serious anime binge mood that I decided to finish Phantom Blood and watch through Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders and Diamond is Unbreakable. It's been one of my favorites ever since and I've been closely following Golden Wind/Vento Aureo as episodes of the anime have been coming out. Shizuka is an...interesting choice, but I can't judge. As for me, my favorite JoJo (and also favorite character) is Joseph Joestar. Ever since he was introduced in Part 2, I always enjoyed his antics and how he's simultaneously really stupid and also a genius at the same time. It's wonderful and it's what attracts me to him over other fan-favorite characters (like Jotaro, Dio, Kakyoin, etc., although all of those are great characters in their own right as well). I also love Diamond is Unbreakable, it's currently my favorite part as well.
