So, I finished Part 7 of Jojo, well, around 3 minutes ago.
Reading Jojo has helped me understand many things about myself that I didn't know before, one of them being that I am heavily influenced by opinions of others and opinons of others are usually what I base things off.
In other words, I read Parts 1-6 only knowing one thing, and that was that Stardust Crusaders was "supposedly" the best part, and that everything afterwards was not as good. So when I read Part 3 I thought it was the best, and still do to an extent. Part 4 however was really good and I never understood why people said everything after Part 3 wasn't very good.
Eventually I talked to my friends about it, and they all had a go at me for saying Part 3 was my favourite, eventually I had to think about the parts and try and think about them in a different way. My rankings changed and to this day I still don't think I truly believe my own rankings.
I was told by a lot of people that Part 7 was the best part, or at least tied with 2. So I already had this inflated opinion of Part 7, additionally I was spoiled on several things in Part 7 that made them even less important when they occured. Mainly Spoiler:Gyro's Death, and The World making a comeback. The latter truly felt like a missed opportunity since I would've loved to see that as a surprise, even though I already knew who Johnny was chasing after in those final volumes, and it was a shame.
Overall, Part 7 was a difficult part for me to follow. Not even sure why, I did read each part before I'd sleep and thus would always be tired, a lot of the time I'd not be following what I'm reading, and then something big would happen and I'd have to go back to re-read it all over again. Hell, even when I would put it down for the night and come back to it the next day I'd forget what's happening.
I feel as if Part 7 is a good part, but I just don't know where to put it right now.
As of now, I'd say my current rankings are
3 = 4 > 2 = 7 > 6 > 1 > 5
But even I don't believe that as of now.
Going to read 8 soon, and truly be up to date. Hopefully no one will spoil it for me, and nothing will be said about it.
