UserWiki:Seeforkat

Hello world. I'm seeforkat, a 17 yo kid that started watching Joey Joey Yes Papa since 2019, when I was in 9th grade. I've seen the anime of parts 1-6, and read the manga of 6-8.

I swear this isn't my first and only anime series I've ever seen

It is the worst series to recommend to anime starters. Don't get me wrong, I love JJBA to bits, but it's too big and niche for someone who might expect a lighthearted series full of nonsensical and cheeky jokes due to seeing too many memes.

Honestly the terrible release of SO might did the fandom a favor, cause fans can finally shut up about the series. (jk)

This page has mostly only me reading so here goes nothing you care about. I wrote this for my future self to look back at.

Influences
This series taught me many things: I'm very grateful for the people that made any JoJo media happen. This wiki, fan projects and fan arts included.
 * how to draw anatomy
 * use references
 * get used to reading long passages (this wiki specifically or the og wiki in general)
 * avoid Twitter
 * many weird trivia (especially during Pucci's lectures)

Impression
Unlike what the internet depicts, Joe Joe's unexpected journey isn't a comedy shitpost show with funny memes and cheeky jokes. I was spoiled for many parts on specific topics (who died, whose stand did what, what happened to the world, etc), so the twists wasn't the greatest catch for me. They're still really well portrayed, better if they weren't spoiled. The art and music references, writing and ideas of character, the drawing and writing style of Araki though, are the true pleasant surprises. I didn't even know the manga has been going on for so long.

what
I still hesitate if I should take it seriously, mainly because of the difference between the media itself and its fandom (again). It's a highly stylized piece of art of course, made with blood, sweat and heart. But it's only a fictional series with memes, unusual poses, repetitive jokes and as usual, annoying minority as its image. "Bizzare" truly reflects both the crazy creativity and the silly nature of the series.

Favorites
My favorite part is part 7 and Johnny is the best Joe for me. Pucci is my favorite villain though.

SBR is the most complete part for me (obviously due to its length) since everyone gets a backstory. Johnny and Gyro's partnership, the intense racing Araki could depict on a paper, the thrilling Lucy chase,... Everything was wonderfully written.

SO is the second best for me. Sure, the series crazy interesting ideas, but many things go unexplained. What did Emporio's mom do? Why was she killed? What did Weather do between 1988 and 2011, and was his charge linked to his story? I also think Ermes, Emporio, Ungalo and Rikiel deserve more explanation. Objectively it does nothing more to the story, but it's just a shame especially when the latter two have a more interesting relationship to the Joestar family. They share traits with two of the most important characters in the story, but they don't even have a first name!

Internet interaction

 * Don't rely your Joe media intake on memes. They're mostly bad. Some even disguise misinformation as spoilers. Fake spoilers or not, it kills the fun of not knowing what's next.
 * "Joe Joe fans are gay" deprives "gay" of any meaning. What does it even mean now???
 * Don't take anything seriously. Be an enjoyer, not a fan.
 * Comparing without constructive thoughts is cringey.

Art

 * Use wacky colors. Normal ones are boring.
 * Reference all you need.
 * Twitter is best for art and art only. Not even discussions.
 * If someone can use Dwight The Office as a reference for 2B, you can use anything for anyone.
 * Don't rely on muscle memory. You won't improve in terms of skills.
 * No one's writing (wiki info completion, character consistency, translation flow etc) is perfect.
