So a week ago I started watching Jojo Bizarre Adventures which became a meme few years ago. I don't usually anime but I decided to finally give it a shot.

Story follows Joestar family fighting with various villains. Every season has a different Joestar member as a protagonist and a new plot. They acquire couple of superpowers during the story and it mostly boils down to beatings. However, those superpowers are rather niche and the enemies are often generally stronger so protagonists are forced to figure out how to put the fight in a situation where they power give them advantage. After that it mostly takes 2 punches to finish off the enemy. So it's like a mix of boxing and chess. Of course they meet other kind of enemies that don't fight physically but I don't want to spoil things.

Now there are two series that show this story in different way. There's new series started in 2012 and there's one from 1993 and 2000. The new one is made purposefully overly dramatic with characters having long monologues or dialogues in between punches, very bad cases of engrish, characters being less serious and this kind of things.
The old one has much darker mood (although it has it silly moments too), is more serious, has this cool looks of old animu, doesn't censor anything, was done by a different studio and generally felt cooler to me. It changes certain things in the story but for me who knew nothing of the original story it didn't bother me at all. The main problem with this series is that it starts sort of in the middle of the plot so might be confusing a little (to be more exact, starts where the 3rd season of 2012 series start) but I was able to figure out what was going on eventually.

Old OVA should be avaiable on youtube, I say you should give that one a shot at least. It have like 13 total episodes so it doesn't take much time to watch. Just little warning, episodes from 2000 take place before those from 1993 so watch it in this order.
Also female characters have noses.
