Welcome to the first canon community review post!
Today's canon arc is Dio Brando the Invader, which covers Phantom Blood Chapters 01–05 or Episode 01, depending on the media you've chosen to review.
Which was your favorite scene in this arc? Did you prefer how the manga handled this arc or how the anime did? Anything in one media that you wished also appeared in the other? Let us know in the comments below!
(Sorry about the delay; I tried to set this up for scheduled posting, but I messed up one of the settings.)

Date: 2023-11-27 11:26 am (UTC)I feel like the anime definitely got rid of a lot of Jonathan's ungentlemanly behavior, but I don't know if that was a deliberate choice to lean into the "Jonathan is the most uwu JoJo" trope (still true even with the frog thing and the smoking imo 😂) or if it was all cut for improved pacing.
The backstory with Danny is interesting... I figure the primary purpose is to give you a greater sense of Danny and Jonathan's bond to make Danny's later death all the worse, but it also gives a bit of an explanation for why Jonathan forgives so much shit from Dio
A galaxy brain moment! This never occurred to me until now and it makes so much sense?? Jonathan's not just a naive, kind baby; he also learned from Danny, his first friend. Danny deserved better, he was the best boi.
