Has the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure franchise been waning in popularity over the past few years? I remember it was a big deal last decade, but I don’t really hear anyone talk about it anymore. I stopped watching the show after Part 3 and reading the manga after Part 4, so I don’t know what’s going on.
Yeah it seems like it. I was thinking about this the other day, in fact.
Two friends of mine are superfans but I don't live near them anymore so I thought I was just less exposed to JoJo than others, but it seems to not be as popular anymore. I imagine it'll be back in the zeitgeist once the next part gets televised.
I'm apparently some weird anomaly, I really liked the first part, and thought bits and pieces of part 2 were great, then it kind of got too weird for me. I think I lost interest somewhere around the third part? It was always fun hearing my friends fervently recount the stories because they were SUPER into it.
