Absolutely amazing artwork & print quality but why the fuck are there so many almost blank pages with instruments on them lmao

N/A%

Not gonna give this a specific percentage cuz it’s an artbook.

While a bit inconvenient to store and shelve, this oversized artbook is high quality and shows off Araki’s wonderful art perfectly. I recommend to all Jojo fans👍🏻

Hirohiko Araki hace mucho más que crear personajes y una historia, lo que él hace es arte. Los Jojos son belleza, son arte, las ilustraciones son algo que admirar por su detalle y estilo

I thought it’d have text but oh well. Can you tell I’m obsessed with this series?

Literally went through this in one sitting in Barnes and Noble because the art is so gorgeous. Araki’s use of perspective and dynamic posing and color will never not impress me

Absolutely stunning art-of book. This is my first exposure to the world of JoJo, and I am intrigued to immerse myself further. The question is, which first- the manga or the anime?

Artwork aside, the designers of the book have done a fantastic job. It reads like a music ensemble, split into sections of the 'song'. Each spread is carefully thought out, some images collaged or repeated and dissected, others simple full spread bleeds that let the original pieces talk for themselves. Printed colours are gorgeous and vibrant, but also some subtle black-on-black detailing that just makes the pages pop even more. Beautifully crafted, and love the tracing paper tip-in pages at the front and back of the book- fun and tactile.

As far as art books go, this is a 5 star from me, and that's without the bias of a JoJo fan.

Si no me equivoco, me "leí" todo este libro salvo alguna que otra página que cuenta algunas curiosidades sobre los personajes. Y si bien el arte de Araki me resulta fascinante como siempre, promedio para abajo por parecerme el más "normalito" de los libros extra que he visto del univero Jojo y por un poco de ignorancia quizás. Eso sí, en la tapa dice "Disc 1", así que cuando me encuentre un Disc 2, seguro revisite el A-go!go! de JoJo.
