Not that you need any more persuading, but parts of the first half and the entire second half have some really gorgeous animation. Episode 12 was storyboarded by Satoshi Kon and in fact was his big break in the animation industry at the time.
It also tries to address some of the issues with Araki's writing in part 3, such as his treatment of women and the bystanders in the various countries the protagonists visit. It also has some surprising rewrites to include the character Avdol in more of the story overall. It's not perfect (away from the comparison with the source material, the treatment of women is not great, and episodes 4 and 5 are still really bad about the Indian background characters) but I like almost all of the story changes over the original manga tbh

Yeah I'm biased but still
I appreciate the heads up about the racism and misogyny. would have thrown me for a loop otherwise.
You should also get phantom blood; hands down the best Jojo movie!
