I haven't watched anime before and went gave this a try based on this thread. The first three episodes were great, dealing with somewhat realistic characters and situations, fast paced and extremely dramatic. Then it introduces some magic poo poo which I didn't like and slows the pace down for some relatively entertaining fighting. I still watched through the first and second parts because the hero and villains were pretty well characterized and I wanted to see where the story would go.

Then it introduced the "stand" bullshit presumably to sell toys, removed all drama and interesting characterization (like no time is spent on the villain they're after), and the fights are boring as hell now. I stopped watching when one of the hero's friends gets turned into a small child by a bad guy and enjoys having his wiener washed by a concerned sexy anime girl who comes across him.

If this is an extremely ownage anime I'm not interested in seeing more
