is it a good idea to get into jojo

Honestly, I can't think of any piece of media that's necessarily "bad" to get into unless it's, like, actively harmful, or if it's media that's just awful from top to bottom (which even then is a very high threshold to pass imo). So my default answer to that question with anything is gonna be "yeah sure".

That said, a couple notes for you to keep in mind if you so desire if you do want to get into Jojo (and apologies if this is A Lot, I am just Rambly™)

-There will be people who tell you to start at Part 3. These people are cowards. They recommend this because the overall structure of combat changes drastically at Part 3 to the whole "Stand" thing while Parts 1 and 2 is a lot more freeform, but 1 and 2 are really good if you want to get a feel for the tone. So if you finish Part 1 and 2 and you can vibe with the overall tone, then you'll like the rest, because after that, the fights get REALLY good (shoutouts to D'Arby)

-The show is very ridiculous, over-the-top, and campy. The sooner you decide to lean into it, the better.

-There are a couple kinda hashtag Yikes things in Part 2 and 3 (you'll know em when you see em, especially for P2). It's not enough that it's outright awful, but it's more of a "Part 3 was written in 1989" kinda thing.

-If you like rock music, you'll appreciate the show a heck of a lot more (I mean, the main antagonist is literally named "DIO" with prominent side characters "R.E.O. Speedwagon" and a family named after Led Zeppelin)

-Try to watch it subbed if you can. Nothing against the dub's voice cast since they do great, (especially from Part 3 onward, although Joseph Joestar in Part 2 LITERALLY just being Numbah 1 is very funny to listen to), but as I mentioned in the last bullet point, there's a lot of references to licensed music, and to circumvent that, the dubs (and most subtitles), have to resort to localized names. This can lead to a lot of funny hijinks (for example: hearing "STICKYYYYY FINGERS!!!!!" and seeing the subtitle "ZIPPER MAN!"). Also, the Japanese voice cast is iconic, especially for Jotaro and DIO. Also also "O H T H A T S A B A S E B A L L", "Go ahead! Mistah Joesturr", half of Joseph's dialogue, and many many more.

-Part 4 is the best part

-Don't skip the openings. Especially when you get near the end of each part. There are fun little surprises :)

So I just found out what mourning belts are right?

This. But then I remembered

Her. And that her choker looks like this

So is Reimi wearing a mourning choker? Being a ghost and all?
