I never got the hate for part 1 of Jojo. Its over pretty quick and is pretty important watching for the rest of the series. Is it slow? Sure but slow compared to other anime!???!? Do people actually watch anime!??!?! Even without Endless 8, more happens in 2 episodes of Phantom Blood than that entire showI Jojo part 1 is good though! I do agree that expecting someone to wait until 2 or three seasons until the series gets good is ridiculous. If you don't like the first couple episodes, its fine to hop off.
