Shows You Should Be Watching
Honest reviews. Zero hype.
Generations of the Joestar family, each fighting a bizarre battle against an escalating rogues gallery of vampires, Stand users, and men named Dio. No anime has more range: every part swaps protagonist, tone, setting, and art style, and somehow it…
