I really want to start part 6, but I still have Vento Aureo, and I've heard less than stellar things.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Part 5 has the best battles up to that point, and a pretty good story, too. It's much faster paced than any other part and more similar to Stardust Crusaders in that it's a "journey to a certain destination" story and that the JoJo doesn't do much despite being brokenly powerful, while someone else takes the real lead (Joseph/Bruno)
I love Vento Aureo. A lot of its flak comes from the old, bad translations, I think.

Except Narancia. Has a decently cool stand but a terrible personality

Dude gets a pass for Purple Haze Feedback.
I like Narancia. Kid had some of the most brutal fights and the worst of luck. Plus, the dance scene wouldn't have happened without him.
Narancia dance is a highlight of the franchise.
Would love to see this get an OVA series after VA's adaptation finishes.

Agreed on both counts.
The Rohan spinoffs are getting animated as disc-bonuses, so wouldn't be surprised if PHF got that treatment too.

Wait, they are?
At least one of them is.
Even though I'm one of the folks who thinks Part 5 is noticeably weaker than its counterparts, it's still worth a read. If you enjoyed the structure of Stardust Crusaders, you'll enjoy Vento Aureo (conversely, if you didn't care for the "travel from A to B, fight Stand User X" format, then VA might be a harder sell).
What I think Vento Aureo does poorly - The pacing is fairly choppy (especially towards the beginning), GioGio is boring and has an especially incoherent Stand, the major antagonist is the least hype in all the series, and the "endgame" seems all over the place
What I think Vento Aureo does well - Setting is awesome, Bruno largely compensates for Giorno's dullness, several good fights, MOTHERFUCKIN' SEX PISTOLS!
When you buy the Part 4 discs you get a code for each one that when the final volume comes out you can redeem for the OVA.

The most amazingly random thing in that whole part.
Let's burn a guys eyeball with a magnifying glass and dance while we do it!

It's easy to forget under all the fabulousness that Vento Aureo is pretty vicious. It's mostly barely teenagers ripping each other to shreds.

Part 5 tribute (spoilers)
There's that one part in the final battle where Mista just fuckin shoots a cop (with a criminal's soul) in the face.

Extreme violence is one of the core tenets of Part 5 to me. Remember that our introduction to Mista and Narancia is someone getting stabbed in the cheek with a fork for being dumb? Or how one of the enemy stand users had a stand that caused bacteria to eat your flesh and didn't care if civilians were caught in it? Or how a man was executed via cutting parts of his body off in segments and then mailing them off to relatives? Or when Doppio fights Metallica and you can see scissors in his throat, he vomits razor blades and nails shoot out of his mouth? Or when Polpo accidentally blew his own brains out with a revolver because he thought it was a banana?
it's fucked
I bought The Gold Experience because of this video

I still think Giovanno sucks and the whole part would be better if you see Buccateli as the protag

this is the most incredible thing I've ever seen.
It has its problems but its still very, very good. Being low tier on the Jojo rankings is still high tier manga.
This is the best thing I've seen in ages.

Oh wow I actually had been looking for that one again since forever

Say, what was Santana's gimmick
The whole manipulating his body in impossible ways thing. I mean I guess it's presumed that the other pillar men could do it but nobody else cared to do it. Also his rib cage trapping method so he can eat people.
Boss Doggie

The other pillar men could do it since I remember ACDC and Wham contorting themselves a few times. I don't remember the rib cage trapping though.
Also Santana was the only one to "invade" someone's body right?

santana was a scrub
That was different than what Santana did because he was just a brain and veins. Santana jammed his entire body up Stroheim's leg.
NVM, misread.
Also you guys remember that EDM version of Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town that's mentioned on the OP CD? I thought it was just going to be an ending music arrangement that they'd use for some episode somewhere down the line.
Turns out it's an actual electronic dance music arrangement.
Stroheim's return: "THIS GERMAN SCIENCE WAS DESIGNED TO BEAT SANTANAAAAAAAA" "HE WAS JUST A BABYYYYY"

I definitely intend to read it, and I just finished part 4 as well. Also, I really love the Sex Pistols design.
I've discovered recently while listening to my Jojo playlist that whenever "Last Train Home" comes on I get a bit emotional. I think if that had closed SC episode 47, my eyes would have pissed tears.
Oh, and regarding part 4, I'm disappointed that we got no closure on Mikitaka, but his chapters were amusing for sure.
That's the best part about him.
Though there are some batshit theories about him out there.

shit cant wait to see how they will react to most, if not all of the stuff in part 4

To be fair, the Persona series has had motorcycle-related Personas before.
