8/10
A good continuation of the story
7 May 2023
Solid continuation, liked the Skinny Pete coverage.

Some of the actors look a bit different by the time of this film (by that I mean Todd's actor, as he apparently gained quite a bit of weight for some other roles), but that's to be expected with the 7 year gap between this and Felina.

It's not a masterpiece by any means but it serves its role well. If you wanted to know what happens after Breaking Bad's finale, and what happened when Jesse was imprisoned, you'll probably enjoy this. If you're expecting a grandiose finale to the entire franchise (which, to be fair, parts of Better Call Saul take place after this) which trumps everything else, you won't get that.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (1993–2002)
9/10
In my opinion, pretty damn good
7 May 2023
The two OVA series are quite controversial not only for the alleged Qur'an appearance but also for its lack of faithfulness to the manga. For what it was, I think it did its job pretty well, and the superb animation, sound design and music (Marco d'Ambrosio deserves more credit honestly) makes up for it.

The optimal version to watch would be the original Japanese, and if you can find it (don't remember if it was completed and/or released publicly) the fanmade colour and quality restoration attempt.

Overall, it's pretty good. It has quite a few flaws, namely the lack of faith to the manga (different Stand colourations, character designs, plot elements moved around, removed and added) and the English Dub which is not always amazing, but if you can look past that and try to watch it for what it is, and don't try to compare it to the anime series, you'll probably enjoy it, especially if you enjoy old anime and OVAs or if you like JJBA and want to find something new to watch.
