[31] It was added to the list by Joseph Luster, however, in his review he cited David Production having a small budget for several of his problems with the series, stating
some portions of the animation are a "butt hair above motion comic standards," but that it usually makes up for it in "sheer style. "[32] Michael Toole of Anime News Network had similar views, writing that the show's good writing, art direction, and pacing were "sometimes obscured by grade-Z animation. "[33] Several critics have credited the success of the anime adaptation for bringing about a surge of popularity for the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise amongst
Western audiences. [33][34] In 2018, Danni Wilmoth of Crunchyroll included the series on her list of "The 20 Series Every Anime Fan Needs to Watch". [35] In 2019, Polygon named the series as one of the best anime of the 2010s.
