I didn't care for Shizuka. Just felt like wasted time. maybe some of this was me bein sad to see Joseph like that although omg the ending scene with him on the ferry was iconic
A few episodes had dull spots. but overall it annihilates any other part I've seen for flow. Stone Ocean appears to have good pacing but I've been really busy so I can only watch 1 or 2 eps a week which damages that pacing a lot. p4 openings are so good. i also forgot there had been different versions of the part 3 opening for the dio fight. when the Bites the Dust version of Great Days started playing it blew my mind, it was such a magical moment
