Everybody tells me how awesome Jojo is, I started, and got way turned off by the Nazis :(
Sorry, I can't stomach positively portrayed Nazis in my happy adventures.

[toshi_hakari]

Well, I never saw them as positive. They just happen to be there as a surprise supporter, but I never got the impression that Araki tried to show them in a positive light. Joseph makes fun of them all the time and is reluctant to get help from Stroheim.

Also, you're really, REALLY missing out if you just stop now D: "Battle Tendency" is an awesome arc. You should definitely read the other parts though, there are no Nazis to be found there.

[ketita]

Maybe I'll try skipping ahead, then. I just could not stomach Nazis even as supporters (I'm Jewish). It took all the fun right out of it :(

[toshi_hakari]

Where did you stop reading "Battle Tendency"?

I know how you feel, I usually cannot stomach Nazis as well, but I just tend to ignore such characters in manga. I felt Stroheim was more of a parody rather than a "omg awesome Nazi for a change!".

[ketita]

I actually started watching the anime when it was coming out and everybody was squeeing about it (I hadn't really heard of Jojo before that). I got to approx... the 2nd episode with Stroheim? When I realized they weren't going to kill him off immediately, and he did something vaguely heroic.

I get where you're coming from, but even as a parody or even as not necessarily a "good guy", I don't think they deserve to be presented in any positive light at all. Especially not in a series like this. Especially not by Japanese, because hoo boy in WWII they were awful.

Yeah I hadn't read Battle Tendency and only watched it on the anime. I must say I was surprised they were trying to show a good side of a nazi but, then again, this is JJBA: it always sheds a different light on things.

Re: OP

[ketita]

Normally I don't mind a different light, but I don't particularly need a different light on Nazis, you know?

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, I completely understand that. It also weirded me out a bit. More of a "okay, that's new..." reaction to me than anything else.
