The D’arby siblings are a good example of this as they rely on trickery and deception to get what they want by pitting their enemies in twisted mind games. A good measure of the fights not just test them on a physical level either but mentally as well. It really brings a focus to Jotaro and his friends as they struggle to survive. We have Big Bads that do all sort of otherworldly things that people can’t even begin to imagine. Adapting well with its Egyptian theme, these new enemies presents a challenge like never before. He has a Stand and there’s even an episode that really brings out his abilities for the audience to see.īecause the first season has exhausted Dio’s resources and servants, we are introduced to new and more dangerous enemies for the crusaders.

Bringing in non-human characters into a series always presents a challenge but Iggy isn’t just an ordinary house common animal. Joining them is a new ally in the form a dog named Iggy. Of course, the main cast returns as well including Jotaro, Joseph, Avdol, Kakyoin, and Polnareff. Propelled by the series’ vision to craft a dynamic adventure, we are introduced to new allies and enemies.
Otherwise, you’ll be wondering around like a goat in a desert. It continuously deliver a source of imaginative and entertainment that almost anyone will find entrancing.Īs a direct continuation of the first season, it’s imperative to watch The first half of the adaptation already showed plenty of Stands ranging from one that can attack via reflective surfaces, a parasitic being that can enter a victim’s brain, or even a Stand that can attack in dreams with Freddy Krueger style. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders: Second Season (or Egypt Arc) provokes the question of what the audience wants to see next. Kakyouin - Really stayed the same from the first season though his bonds with his comrades grows stronger.ĭefinitely wasn't as enjoyable as the first season as the encounters with the other Stand users felt very repetitive and monster-of-the-week.Īt this point, it just became repetitive until we came to the final showdown between Dio and JoJo.Īn action-packed adventure of fun, bizarreness, crazy gimmicks, and dangerous distinction. Things actually happen to him which makes him feel mortal and human. Iggy - I initially didn't like him as his existence felt out of place most of the time as he didn't do very much, but in later episodes his character really develops and I liked him near the end.Īvdol - A firm, stable character that really cares for his friends and even sacrifices himself. Polnareff - Basically the comic relief of the show but his character really shines during his emotional moments with his comrades, especially Iggy. Jonathan - Not as cool as when he was younger with all his predictions but still a staple character that is hilarious when he swears/yells in Engrish. Any encounters that involve Joutarou is basically resolved before it even begins and all you're left doing is thinking how far his legs are going to be apart this time and how angled is his body going to face. Initially, this was kind of cool, the nonchalant, tough without overtness attitude, but after two seasons of this composure, it starts to become dull and repetitive. Joutarou - If you can call standing around, posing 'cool' and saying "Yare Yare Daze" as being a character. Each one was basically just 'bad guy with certain bad trait' repeated over and over every episode until we got to Dio.ĭio - Dio maintains his arrogance and threatening nature which definitely made him feel like an end raid boss and reinforces his antagonistic role. The villains felt very cliched in that they're always over the top sadistic with no redeeming qualities. The voice acting is the same as the first season so if you liked it there, you'll like it here, especially hearing Jonathan yell "AWEEE MAIII GAWDDDDD" or "SHIIIIITTTT". But this second season's op just reminded me of Rozen Maiden, it doesn't fit. The op of the first season was really good and it got you pumped up and it made you feel manlier just by listening to it. The characters themselves are very detailed with proper shadings of clothing which makes them look 'realistic'. Good view of what Egypt looks like (at least from someone who hasn't been there). The art style definitely made everything feel more dramatic and dark, while the backgrounds gave a really The fights varied somewhat but in the end I was expecting a little more than what was essentially an RPG grind until you hit max level and go do an end game boss. It became a monster-of-the-week series and it just felt really bland. Most of the episodes were: Go from current point to next point, encounter enemy Stand user, defeat stand user, repeat until we reach Dio. The story became very repetitive at this point. Definitely some spoilers, don't read if you don't want to be spoiled.
