Let’s Go JoJo! Episode 27 – I’m An Alien

An illegal alien! An Englishman in Morioh! Our newest character is probably neither of those things, but he does claim to be from outer space and has the strange powers to prove it! Or at least prove he may be some manner of Stand user. More otherworldly arrivals come with cardboard cats and monster girls, criminals meet with justice and some children get a stern talking to.

The lesser cousin to the 80s cartoon stalwarts it borrows from, MASK has some nifty ideas but finds itself lacking in the execution. All the usual suspects are here; relentless background music, inconsistent visual quality, an irritating child character taking up precious screen time. Pockets of quality exist in the mechanical design and the better directed episodes, but spread all too thin over a long series. We can all agree that the opening theme is still fantastic though!

Sweet rides

Time to try and not get fired today
