I'm not an anime watcher and I just watched Jojo....
6 years ago
First of all to get things clear, I have only seen a few animes; Cowboy bebop (enjoyed), space dandy (loved), Future diary (boring), Hellsing ultimate (only as I saw abridged first, preferred the abridged), and maybe a few films. So not exactly nothing but not much at all. Second, I watched dubbed because I don't like subs. Third, this is all personal opinions only.
Season 1: Glad I got pressured into watching. It was entertaining, had twists and an interesting concept and plot. There was good growth of characters and it felt fun to play along with what creative solution they have for a given problem. Now it still has that anime trope I hate where 2 seconds pass but you get 2 minutes of dialog or thoughts spoken. I get why it exists but I don't like it personally. It's hard to escape spoilers and memes these days so some things I already knew, but overall I enjoyed it and didn't be like I thought it would which would be DBZ but not quite as OTT and less clothing.
Season 2: Pretty good, continued on from the first in a way. Really big focus on growth and learning, again great character development throughout. It did have a lot of feeling of YuGiOh Abridged with "You've just fallen into my trap" .... "No you have fallen into mine!" .... "no u". Now yes the victor is meant to win and you know this as a viewer, but the moment one thing was said I lost interest because I knew what would happen, just not "how". This one probably had my favourite characters in it, but thought 1 was better.
Season 3: Awful. What happened?!? Nothing at all like 1 or 2. Less OP weapons than hamon which felt limitless whereas stands mean set to specific strengths and weaknesses... but overall not as entertaining personally. There was no character growth either, little if any (also the characters seemed much more bland and boring). This season to me felt like filler episodes of Pokemon; on way to destination you battle a random guy with a new thing not seen before. You could almost watch the whole season in any episode order and it would almost be the same result. Dio's back! Great I loved him..... oh he had like 3 min screentime the whole season... no thanks. It had some really funny moments, but overall extremely forgettable.
Aaaaaaand I stopped after that. From what I have heard it continues more like season 3 than 1 or 2, and if so I don't want to watch it. Now to move onto the next anime I'm peer pressured into watching.
Commence the hate!

but the fans seem to prefer that a lot
There's a lot more depth to the characters, and not every single episode is a fight anymore. It's all set in a single town rather than them fighting random enemies on a journey and the villain is great.
