Posted a few Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure trailers here. Finally saw it and yes, it’s bizarre.
It's Miike.
It's starts with a new kid at a High School, Koichi, who meets Jojo, who has awesome hair and he gets really pissed if anyone makes fun of it. Turns out Jojo has a Stand, which is this magical CGI mech thing that can blast through people. And there are others with Stands - each with a special power. Jojo can heal others. Then there's this water demon that enters people's mouths and bursts their organs. It's on a killing spree and appears as a little mech thing alll covered with eyes. There's another Stand user with a bow and arrow on a killing spree because sometimes when he kills with that arrow, he creates new stand users. There are other Stand users too. It gets rather complicated. The arch villain Stand creates an army of tiny army men sized soldiers complete with tanks, bazookas and choppers. It's really hard to describe it all.
Jojo is based on a longstanding manga, an anime, videogames, novels, even a Gucci collab. The original artist was featured in the Louvre.
I enjoyed it despite its convuluted story arcs. The crazy haired stand users all had cool trenchcoats with odd symbols. It caught that manga vibe well.
No sword fights but lots of Stand battles. Recommended for DOOMMiike fans only.
