JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is the manliest show to ever flex its rippling muscles. It’s a non-stop deluge of ultimate badasses punching other ultimate badasses, and it only lets up when its characters need to learn new ways to punch things.
And for some reason, it makes me want to curl up with a cup of tea.
Tea has never really been my thing. A traumatic tea-related incident in my youth robbed me of all taste for the drink, and I’ve worshiped at the altar of coffee for as long as I can remember. If tea was wiped from existence completely, I wouldn’t even shrug.
But JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure makes tea look like the most appetizing thing in the world. There’s something about preposterously manly dudes drinking from dainty china that makes me we want to put on a kettle and sit down with a nice cuppa. I don’t actually own a kettle, nor do I use the word “cuppa,” but JoJo’s awakens something buried deep inside me.
I doubt I’ll ever become a tea drinker. There’s only room for one hot beverage in my life, and that beverage is made from glorious ground beans. I’m not fancy or British enough for tea, and it’s unlikely that anime will change that.
Still, if I ever do decide to pick up a kettle, it’ll be because of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
