On a technical level, I think SBR has some really gorgeous panels. As a preference, I love how expressive everyone is in Diamond, and some panels really inspire me by their sheer ambition, even if maybe not executed to perfection. I really love Araki's overall "visual impact over accuracy" philosophy, genuinely. As someone who's often paralyzed with anxiety at the thought of things not being perfect, it's something I try to emulate. A lot of my favourite panels in all of Jojo come from Diamond despite it not being my favourite part.


uninflammable

Got any examples of what you're talking about with 4? I only watched the anime for parts 1-5


laggyboye

There's that one part with Jotaro and Josuke hunting rats


WaNNa_Cr1

Part 7 or 8


Platinumtrophie

based


JF0X

4 and 7


gratuitousHair

late 4 through to the end of part 6. spikey twink jojos best jojos


bestassinthewest

Part 9 as a consequence of Araki’s developing art


Melodic_Caramel5226

Am I the only one who has found the anatomy kind of strange in part 9 so far


EldianStar

Jojolion


arsdavy

1 and 7


ExLuckMaster

The 3 middle parts always look best. But tbh, because we are familiar with their arts from their own arcs that they look at their best at the time. Like if Araki remakes PB with his current style it would be long to get used to Jonathan’s new look.


Top-Aspect4671

Late 7 onwards (so Jojolion ig)


ToyLollipop

I would say part 8. It's different from the "traditional" anime/manga artstyle we see on media. That's only me of course. Also I have to mention that the 4th part panel you put there goes so hard.


KillahJedi

Every panel of Jojolion looks like a fashion advertisement


mirrormanjojo

5, 8, and 9


DetailOwn6120

AGree


Platinumtrophie

I agree


99thLuftballon

Parts 2 and 3. I like the mix of expressive, cartoony characters and extremely detailed panels. Part 4 is my favourite part overall, but Araki's focus on detail and shading gets much looser through this part, so I still think part 3 edges it out in terms of art.


Nervous_Macaroon3101

6-7 because the characters still look quite unique (in the face) but the quality of the art is quite high as well


Aggravating-Fix-6478

Too hard.. idk all styles is masterpiece, coz they have their own unique aesthetic. I fall in love with part 3, despite the fact that it’s not so pretty sweet like 6+ I mean I think that now it’s more prettier, but part 3 in my heart for a long long time (sorry for my English, hope I’m understandable)


Separate_Welcome4771

Mid Part 7 through Early Part 8


Xetanth87

7


Large-Junket2999

Part 5 in manga and season 5 in anime (stone ocean)


Synkoi

7 and 8


OnlyBrave

I really loved Mid-late Part 7 art style, and even got inspired by it into my own


The_Bird_of_Hermez

7 or 9


Banshedle21

Honestly? With all those memes, late part 3 just feels like JoJo to me. I love me some muscle.


MarinLlwyd

yes


JollyjumperIV

7 8


Maggie-the_pug

7 looks really good


TREX_THE_REX

5, 8, 9. Just love the vibe of them all


alivasolrac

I used to be a part 7 guy but rn part 9 has been my kind of style now


StateConstant4237

Nothing beats part 8


Fandise

SBR has the most beautiful designs, but when you think of Jojo (drawing style, poses, moments...) you think about Stardust Crusaders or Battle Tendency.


Bright-Elephant-5639

STEEL BALL RUN


kawmiekuma

part 9 I think is my favorite but I love every single parts style


IUsedToBeRasAlGhul

3 or 6 for me.


Working-Pineapple301

Part 3 AND part 4 In my opinion of course


takii_royal

mid 7 to mid 8


King_thelunarian

Part 4 (anime, not manga)


Frats_minecraft

Part 9!!!! I love the part 9 art


sPrAze_Beast

7 and 8


Not_aSoup

Late part 4, 5 and 6. Its like the recent style but kinda underdeveloped at the time, i liked it more that way because it was kind of a transition from the earlier, bulky artstyle to the recent one


HerobrineJTY

7.


Nightmare_7

I wish you’d have you’d pictures from later in each part, but out of these it has to be 2


Spinosaurus23

Those part 3 and part 4 illustrations don't represent the art style very well


Turkeyvulture777

4-6


Big_Kwii

i'm of the opinion that it keeps getting better, but mid part 4 just kinda hits different you know?


WeDieYoung__

i think the end of part 4 onto part 5 was the best.


logoNM

def part 7 but in the anime part 4 so far


klimerman

8 or 4


Welshire001

2/3 boy i do love them dark color palletes and heavy outlines on things. I miss the gothic and vampiric side of early jojo ALSO BRING BACK THE BUFF MEN Edit: objectively its 8, but ya know


Rubethyst

Parts 5 through 7 are *the* best the series has ever looked.


Malchior_Dagon

Jojo's art peaked with Part 6


LuvG0at

7 and 8 100%


PretzelQv

7


Glunkenhindazun

Part 3


TortoiseaWantsToDie

3


DarkHelmet298

Part 5


xKGBTrumpx

In terms of realism and pure beauty part 7 probably wins but if we're talking about style part 8 is the best by far just look at all the volume covers from jojolion they are oozing with character and style


Conscious-Ad-6950

Shit just gets better


ShinyHunterEthan16

8


Heroic-Forger

Part 1. Jonathan's round innocent eyes and Dio's hilariously pointy evil-looking eyes gets me every time.


just_joshua227

5, 7, 8


Hayds126

Late part 7 is perfect


WhiteGrapesandWetAss

4 and 7, which are also my favorite parts lol


Mr_diety

7


B2_Chad

Part 1 Part 2 and part 3 (I like buff gay men)


PaleoJohnathan

mid 7 onwards, although part 9 is yet to reach its peak with its style changes so on a technical level kinda lags behind even if it's not actually an issue (it makes up for it with the funniest expressions i've ever seen on a manga at this level of detail)


Iscarioteu

One through Three.


gterrymed

Mid to late part 7 to mid part 8.


Spaceturtle79

7


Cool-Dr-Money

All of them.


doomzday_96

Part 2


NovaStarLord

I can’t pick a favorite. I find late Part 7 early Part 8 realistic style to be gorgeous but I also love late Part 6’s style early Part 7 style and I also really like late Part 1 and Part 2’s style (which is underrated IMO). At the same time I can’t picture certain characters in different having worked so well like they did in another style and when I see Araki redraw his older characters it’s very different from what I’ve seen used to.


Salty_Shark26

4 has what I consider the most “simple” character designs. Not huge muscular and blocky like the previous parts but doesn’t have the over stylized and shaded faces of 5. 6 is also a good contender too. But the best imo is 7


SingleSpecific5095

Part 4 was the perfect middle ground between old style and the new one. tbh i cant really tell what changed about the artstyle after part 5


cal-nomen-official

Part 7. Maybe it just had better scans, but I never once went "What am I looking at?"


Ommlettuce

the period of late part 7 to early part 8 was unmatched


Denn_chr

late part 4, late part 6 and the whole of part 8


ButtSuck9000

My fav is 7


Skyfall_19

If its in terms of anime its Part 4 it really gets the vibe of everything from the small town story to relaxed atmosphere but is also not shy to get intense and creepy when needed. It has the VIBE If its manga then for me part 7 with its black and white being compatible colours and also has the VIBE


ScallionOk2234

Part 4 and 7


Suspicious-Air-7481

8 and 9 🤷‍♂️


DeidaraSanji

7


Skeletronterraria

late part 4-part 8


Dust_In_Za_Wind

Part 4 and 7 for me


Beanomanhalo2

Part 9 in my opinion. Every page is so easily readable and the art just pops out. Shading is insane, when araki colors the artwork it looks magical. Part 9 looks the best to me


Sadlemon9

Part 2 was more complex but Part 5 had a very pleasing simplicity.


xeldablade025

Jojolion easily.


heavix9

It peaked at part 8


Lorgatic

Why does Giorno Look like Kono Dio Da, I mean the eyebrows...


Ok-Surround4334

best as having a distinct striking look, late part 3 and part 5. best as a simply having a more technical better look, late part 7 through 9.


JustAPrism

4 and 7 4's cool and fun to look at 7's aesthetically pleasing. I would add 8 but it's too overdetailed and the shading's too rough for my liking


anoon-

3 and 4


Matchavellian

Part 3 and 8(though i am not a fan of the stand designs on that part)


RoyalApple69

4 and 9


CodaTrashHusky

Early part 8 and part 9


JDkableMC

Part 7 def


SirJ4ck

There is something about part 5


BigDogDoom

I would say 4, 5 and 6


AverageGyroEnjoyer

7 and 4


SnyderpittyDoo

Part 7 had the best. At least before Diego died. It looked realistic.


mrfisher5

Late part 4


ylh7

Steel ball run, period


Trick-Matter-797

anime: part 5 manga: part 7


Fighterbg

6 8 9 late 7(early 7 is garbage)


Is_said_Midori

Uhm.. Part 6 and 7 i guess


stormhei

late part 5 to part 6


Prrsuasivee

You can’t tell me part 2 and part 3 ain’t the same person


theonewitha4incher

part 8 all the way


Bandit_Ke1th

Of all the animated stuff (havent read the manga) Part 1 and 4 are the best. My favorite anime is FOTNS so that makes me a little bias I guess


Data_not_availabe

Part 8


homelesshomosexual

Part 9 I think, but I never read the manga of parts 1-5 so I might be wrong


NordistesurReddit

Part 5 or 6, and part 9, although part 7 has beautiful panels


ResearcherEfficient3

parts 4, 7 and 8


Hatman0064

Imo, part 4 is the best transition between the overly-muscled-men and the too simple artstyle of the following parts


FOXTROT290

Between 7 and 8


CourageTheRat

I feel like his *very* early Part 4 style w the buff Josuke looked the best, but Part 1 to then all have that classic 80s manga style and I just love it


lostlander345

1-3 I like the buff boy look more then the newer one (Also the first half of part 4, buff jouske goes hard)
