My regrets regarding Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Tweet

Here's a series I regret not giving a fair shake back around 2004, when I read it through Shonen Jump Magazine. Reason being is because the sample chapter didn't hold any promise of any forthcoming bizarre adventure or occurence... So I didn't bother with the series. Skip ten years later, and I gave the anime a shot, as suggested by an acquaintance of mine. And as a result i've been a fan for the past three years. The plot of series is that a lineage of warriors known as the "Joestar Family" are at war with a vampire named "Dio Brando." Dio started as a man who was adopted into the Joestar family, before he tried to make Jonathan Joestar's life a living Hell, before Dio donned a mask that made him into a vampire. However we learn the origins of the mask in part 2 through Jonathan's Grandsson Joseph Joestar, as he squares of against vampires known as "The Pillar men." The Pillar Men created the masks in part to evolve themselves to being immune to sunlight and becoming "ultimate lifeforms."(As shown by Kars in the featured image.) After the Pillar Men are defeted, Dio reemerges, and faces off against Joseph and his grandsson Jotaru, as they battle it out with psychic abilities called "Stands." I know the details are vague, but I'm trying to avoid spoiler filled details. My regret is that had I continued with the manga back then, I would've learned that my expectations for a series full of weird and bizzare scenarios would have been met and in some ways exceeded. But I had to be an idiot and stop at the first chapter... A shame really...
