Non- Anime Fan MUSICIANS React to JOJO BIZARRE ADVENTURE OPENINGS 

JoJo was not anime first, it is a manga that started publication in 1986 and it is still running today! It is one of the longest running publications in manga and was highly influencal to a lot of modern shonen manga. Can highly recommend to watch the anime or read the manga.

Fun fact : Jojo was the foundation of many many things. It's the grand daddy of many manga, video games and more. Street Fighter is a prime example of a video game inspired by Jojo. In fact one of the characters in street fighter is directly inspired by part 3. Jojo itself is partly inspired by series like Fist of the North Star which is why the characters up to part 3 are built like they are. After that part 4 and onwards the Mangaka started slimming his designs down. He is a huge western music nerd which is why powers, characters and abilities are named the way they are. His character designs are the way they are due to growing up in a house with 3 sisters who left fashion magazines around the house which he would read when bored. It's why we get so many fashionable characters inspired by the pictures of models he sees.

The second versions really improve the openings

I understand why they didn't watch the alt versions of some of the songs, but I would still really like to see their reactions on how crazy some of them can actually get. Maybe another video perhaps?

The second opening for Part 6 is so good, but it gets so much better in the variation version 😭 I know why you didn't watch it tho

The anime op's don't use the models from the video game. It was animated by Kamikaze Doga and all models were made by them as well.

I teared up at the second opening for golden wind and stone ocean. I got overwhelmed knowing what was happing during the time the opening was playing and how it ended.

What makes jojo opening so good is the music (of course) and the different version in the final opening for each series. Kinda disappointed you didn't to the second version but i understand for the heavy spoilers reasons.

Mannnn, it always breaks my heart when people don't really vibe with Chase. Watching the show for the first time, the tonal shift when that OP hit gave me chills. But I understand that I'm biased, especially since Pt4 is my favorite lol. Great reaction as always!! 💜

I expected the heel-turn with Chase. Chase is a song that you either love or hate. I love it. You have to be okay with a little discordance to really get into it, especially with that off-key harmony at the end. Plus, it matches the atmosphere perfectly!

Not putting great days on S tier should be considered a crime against humanity

Never realized that the cogs in the sand were a reference to DIO having time stop. Cogs representing continuous movement, sand representing time. They really put a lot of work into the openings

y'all saying Great Days is a B... that song is a MASTERPIECE 27:55 i love how they actually are curious and listen to him, that's so cute

I feel for the guy who has watched JoJo already,,, when you make your friends watch it, you just HAVE to hold yourself back from pointing out the references in the OPs 😂 I know that feel, man

32:37 I think the reasoning as to why it didnt sound as groovier as much as the other ones is basically due to the fact that technically speaking- thats where that JoJo timeline ends, thats the end of that story, because part 7 is such a different shift and different cast of characters from the first parts entirely. New characters, some rewritten to be different people but with similar names, all that, so I think in my opinion it was a good shift and good idea to add such an emotional opening to that specific part.

Anytime I see people react to Jojo openings and NOT look at the versions where the main villain takes over the opening, it takes a piece away from my soul

jojo openings change after the main villain reveals his power and it affects the whole opening by some form and they place more vfx at the last episodes of each part so you should definetly listen to those too its very well made

The second version to opening 4, oh my god we need a second video so they can react to how crazy that was

The tricky thing here is partly that some of the songs work so much better with context and the ones with multiple versions often add more to the later versions that make them more interesting or hit harder... For the first opening of part 4, one version is a remix... Then, on top of that, a lot of these songs are growers too, in the sense that they'll really grow on you... They aren't obviously great at first, but then the things that you initially aren't keen on because they are unusual become more interesting because they are unusual or whatever... But yeah, it'd be really interesting to see if watching the show and the extra versions changes your opinions on these rankings.

Jojo parts in brief. . . Part 1 - Bro vs Bro: the legend of Dio! Part 2 - *Pillar man theme* Part 3 - Traveling to Egypt for my mom. Part 4 - Murder mystery in a bizarre town. Part 5 - #Gangstar Part 6 - Priest hugs his Dio body pillow, also Jail Break. Part 7 - Race for Jesus across the old west! Part 8 - Who am I?

knowing about the alternate versions and not having them watch it is criminal 😭 but still a fun watch even tho I disagreed with so many rankings LOL

Multiple openings for JoJo's have alternate versions. The second opening for part 3, the first and third opening of part 4, and the second opening of part 5 has 3 different versions that progressively amp it up. It's a fun little thing they do for important episodes, and plot events

jojo is a good watch , every part is unique but they all connect very well

opening 6 "chase" has a lot of references and hidden meaning that a lot of casuals just don't get.

this is actually one of the best of these reaction videos, I really like the whole vibe of just enjoying some good music and rating it, I wish more reaction videos were this enjoyable also 30:50 did that guy really just say obrigado that's like a brazil reference wtf...

It was really cool seeing not only the reaction but the takes coming from actual music professionals, but as many people said, it would be cool to watch you guys react to the alt versions of the openings they put in the last chapter of every season, but the thing is yeah, the songs dont change that much and they were the point of the video so I understand why you wouldn't.

Jojo’s is one of the longest ongoing manga of all time. Recently, the creator is creating a new part!

The anime op models are actually completely original, they look similar to the video games but they're made by completely different game/animation studios.

I mean I the second jojo op represents despair and struggle. You can't have it groovier without losing all meaning and purpose. The singing is especially great at conveying the feeling.

I love jojo's openingsfor their alternative versions. I mean, they are top tier also in their normal versions but when they change during the progression of the storyline is what bring them on another level for me, really unique

I guess y'all gotta watch the show now so you can put every opening in S-tier. Fun fact, opening 4 has the vocalists of all previous 3 openings in it, which might be why you felt like there was a lot of talking in the middle.

Hell yeah been waiting for this

The second op is definitely my favorite. such a banger

It’s always funny how people who are used to western music react to discordant notes, like it does not strike the emotional tone w them you’d expect at all and they go all “ew what was that” lmao

Yes omg I've been waiting for this

It is CRIMINAL that we didn't get Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town - EDM Remix. Also, Chase is definetly underrated. Not as top tier as some others, but not as bad as others think. It definetly is one of those "it'll grow on you" intros.

Y’all should react to all Jojo openings, some of them have subtle changed that showed few hints spoilers that are fun to watch

Some openings have different versions which were used on very few episodes depending on the plot reveals at the time, there's one episode with a completely different arrangement for (part4 op1) Crazy Noisy Bizzare Town (for when Koichi unlocked act 3 I think), Traitor's Requiem (part5 op2) has like 3 versions depending on how much of the gang's boss' identity and abilities have been revealed, and there are more

OMG ITS HAPPENING, now u guys have done the op, next are the endings and most importantly the themes of each jojo

NAHHHHHH CHASE IS TOP!!! On the other hand is not as crazy as one might expect from a JoJo opening so its cool, btw the best idea was "lets save this tier list for after we watch the show" brilliant!! You can also do JoJo endings

All are top tier just like it’s anime♥️ The last one was perfect for the events in the anime, had it been funkier it would’ve been kind of disrespectful. Great reaction as always! I hoped you would react to the last versions of opening 7 and 8. They doesn’t have any spoilers

Jojo is one of a kind. That hype shit you see and then you go to your buddies and say "Did you f'ing see that?!?!"

It'd be nice if you guys also react to All Jojo Villain themes as well as all protagonist's themes.

The fact is that every single jojo opening is s tier

I'll probably get some flak, but I always put Great Days in S tier for me

If you watch the variation openings you’ll probably love it more than it’s normal ones

Finally bro. Also, y'all are talking about Street fighter, that games style looks a lot like the first opening of jojo's. There are actually Maps in street fighter which taken out of some jojo's panels

Them disliking Chase is straight blasphemy.

y’all gotta do the character theme songs next. i’d pay to see that.

You should really check the second version of the openings, the songs sound completed, BUT it’s best to check them after watching the show if you want lol.

I highly suggest watching Jojo, it's a neat show that manages to change up the feel every part while also keeping a similar formula, meaning it feels different but still somewhat familiar, also i am trying and failing to stop myself from typing this, but this show just gives you an uncontrollable urge to show it to other people that, if you like it, you WILL develop, I'm watching fresh reactions to jojo content just because i have to satisfy that feeling that more people need to experience this as i write this out, help-

I was shocked when I first heard that Chase was one of the most hated Jojo openings. But when I hear all the openings together, I can see why. It's not just a whole different genre, to the point that it doesn't "fit" with Jojo, but it's also that Jojo has always been unique in their music. There's a flair in all the openings so far that I learnt is clearly a musical masterpiece for those with musical ears. Chase's style and theme falls along any other hardcore rock anime opening. It's a style that resonates best with classic anime lovers, so of course, it sounds outrageous when we hear that people hate it. I think one of yall said it best, that it's so *raw* . The other openings tend to follow a more classical/refined composition that "makes sense" while Chase may be harder on the ears. This is just me interpreting it. Chase is one of my favorites BECAUSE I'm a sucker for rock openings and it was the easiest opening for me to love. This and Fighting Gold, Bloody Stream, and Stone Ocean.

I don't know if you guys would like it or not, but you might want to give Gintama's Openings (1-21) and/or endings (1-30) a try. They've got some pretty consistent and underrated music that surprisingly matches to their creative sequences. And if you're willing for the Opening playlist, try to look for some of their infamous "variants"; such as "MS Paint Version" Opening 8 and Opening 9 (FAIL).🤣

I’d love to see this set up but with Jojo endings bc they’ve already caught you guys off guard once or twice but I’d highly recommend that set up

THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

this tierlist gave me heartburn

Man the 1st op for Jolyne gave me CHILLS listening to it with you guys, idk why but hell yeah

YUP!! Jojo is so good to see in that way and I completely agree with the list you all made.

Fighting Gold is really the best song yet right now(in term of instruments and musical)

HYPE! one of my favorite series

The thing is, when I just finished the show my opinions were the same as yours, but after letting it sit for a while I completely agree with Kobe now.

the amount of skipped opening is givings me a stroke part 3 Sono Chi no Kioku v2 part 4 crazy noisy bizzare town v2 and great days v2 part 5 traitor requiem v2 and v3 part 6 stone ocean v2 and Heaven's falling down v1 and v2

I love the PewDiePie lines on the screen, it covers the copyrighted material without making it unbearable to look at

New to the channel and having fun just plowing through the non anime fan reactions cause they are the best kind! 🥰 Kind of shocked ya'll didn't do an Ending vid too. I know that 75% of the songs are not original or in Japanese but its interesting to see which ones you might know personally and if you guys think it vibes with the ending animation. Also ya'll missed out on listening to the multiple OPs for S4, my fav and the best in my opinion, cause I think they would love what they did with the Great Days.😉

Part 5 OPs are the best, I highly recommend watching the other version of Uragirimono requiem. Also, watching the show adds lots of value to the openings as well, in all, good video though :)

yo bro, did you know if JJBA openings is gonna be different if the main villians fully showed up? that scene is so epic!

That four guys vibing together is bizarre as hell

Still requesting BOTH Tonikawa openings for the next anime openings reaction. I will die on this hill.

I'd say next time, you guys do the alternate version of the OPs and change the tier list from there.

I want you guys to react new anime openings from this season.... like Oshi no ko, heavenly delusion, hells paradise, Vinland saga, magical destroyers

Bro in red just kill the fun

The second version of the final opening REALLY changes shit up

Jojo was a mangafrom the DRAGON BALL manga days. Its old af and its still going

Now yall GOTTA do black clover OP tier list at some point. Also 86 ops and eds are good but not enough of them to warrant a tier list

Stand Proud will always be #1 to me, it's what got me into Jojo

Kobe trying to put yall on to something immaculate. This series peak

You guys putting fighting gold in s-tier had me ascending.

Bro you gotta listen to tell me why from the original berserk anime. I love that song even though i definitely shouldn’t 😂 i need y’all’s insight

Ah man they lost the Villains taking over the openings

21:36 The unintentional perfectly timed ad libs 😂😂

PLEASE PLEAAAASE can you tell me where did you buy your purple Yusuke t shirt ?????

To be fair openings 5-7 are part of the same Jojo Part, so if you know the context that goes behind these particular opening sequences and the music, it actually works quite well. Plus unlike the other parts it managed to get 3 very unique openings that go with the escalation of the mystery/"thriller" aspect of the story. But, that being said, the Jojo series truly lives up to it's core title; it is one bizarre-as-hell adventure that tends to be worth it in the end.

There's no way he said the anime came first when all of them literally saw manga panel recreations in the opening 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Considering what happens during chase op I'm not surprised he got that raw feeling from just hearing rip shigechi.

End of the world is my favorite (with Bloody Stream), and that B hurts 🤧

Aw dammit, they didn't see the other versions

Especially Traitor's Requiem spoils with the versions. The rest is fine and the last one's version is worth checking out. It will take time for you to get there anyway.

Dude in the red killing the entire vibe 😂

it was an anime before the game, however they rebooted the old ass anime at some point the rebootd version is the popular more mainstream version everyone knows and loves today

Bro they really need to hear all the versions of the openings

DEFINITELY would love to see yall catch the naruto & naruto shippuden openings; so many bangers in there, spanning 1999 to the ending of the show in 2017. I think a few of the bands have done other openings yall have liked too, theyre dope. :~)

18:21 "how majestic bro is". That's my man, Josuke

Y'all should def take a look at the main Jojo's Themes (Giorno's Theme they probably have heard without knowing at this point)

You guys forgot the ALT OPs. Each opening has a point where they change as the show progresses.

part 3's drum breakdowns are great

You should have them react to Ya Boy Kongming! Op and the Spy Family op's!! Great stuff you guys

The osts are amazing

Best music in an anime hands down (probably best in any series I know)

Why did you miss the alternate versions of the jojo openings? It was very interesting stuff.

Should do this for all the Full Metal Alchemist and FMA Brotherhood openings/endings.
