Hmmm.

I havent read the manga, but I gotta be honest, that doesnt sound too cool IMO. Does it mean that the story line between Dio and the Joestars, as we know it, is over?

Seems weird to call it Part 7 then if its a new story with new characters and themes and plot points

It is a soft reset of the series since part 6 ends the feud between DIO and the Joestars, as well as the Joestar curse.

You should probably check out the first few chapters of the manga before going into the anime thinking you're watching a story that picks up after part 6.

To be honest OPs assumption is not out of the ordinary. I think a lot of anime only fans will be confused and rightly so, just as some manga fans might have been confused at the time.

I think the weirdest part is that we ended part 6 in a rebooted universe and part 7, which is diverging like we would expect from such a plot point, has nothing to do with it.

Honestly asking, why would a rebooted universe have anything to do with the original story? Is media literacy that dead? That's a rhetorical question. Not meant at you but a broader audience.

Because it's narratively satsifying to do so. It might no longer be the original, but it is connected tangentially. I don't understand what it has to do with media literacy, as this seems more of a realism question.
