Title: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Jesuszilla on September 29, 2011, 10:17:18 pm
We have a MLP thread, we can have a JoJo thread, for it is awesome. I could say "x times as awesome" or "exponentially awesome" but 0 multiplied by anything is 0. Not to mention that given the nature of this forum, it's obvious why JoJo would have more importance than most other series.
Spoilers are to be expected, so I've made use of transparent text ala TVtropes.
So, for those who don't know, Part 8, Jojolion is out, and it's set in the universe after the events of Stairway to Heaven's effects in Morioh around the exact same time as Part IV in the old universe, so this is the new Part IV. So far I think only the first 3 chapters have been translated so not much is known other than the main characters are some girl named Yasuho Hirose, her stalker Joshu Higashikata, and the main protagonist (as indicated by the star-shaped mark) has amnesia and can't remember his name, so Yasuho gives him the name Josuke. It is later revealed, once they go back to his apartment, that his real name is Yoshikage Kira and that he was supposedly into some really perverted shit.
So far it's interesting, but I wish we had more scans.

I read that differently. It seems to happen much later, like in teh current time as an iphone is seen and the march earthquake is mentionedabout Yoshikage Kira , nigger afroamerican has not been confirmed as such, since he was recognized by clothing and not by face, it's like 50/50 on him being kira, I guess.

while there are characters that pop out here and there, each jojo part should be considered its own "thing".
Being "retconned" doesnt mean it never happened, just that there are no returning characters from that point on( at least as themselves) .
I still want:

You forgot the most important detail in Jojolion. FOUR BALLS. Anyways RAW for chapter 4 is out so expect a scanlation in a week or so.
Part 4 is the weakest Jojo but it's not that bad. I mean, it's still better than your average Shounen. And it has Rohan. Rohan is bad ass.

Part 4 is a roller coaster of quality, some parts of it are really bad, others are realy stupid and some are really good, i am still glad that i did not skip it and skipping just the bad/stupid stuff is very difficult to do anyway.

Post by: S.D. on September 29, 2011, 11:56:28 pm
I truly believe that people is too harsh with part 4, I can't blame then though. Part 4 feels even weaker because the scanlation quality is god-awful.

Part 5 was my favorite. Loved Bucciaratti's arc so much and the titular protagonist being a descendant of Dio's was a welcome change in terms of character design. The exaggerated Italian fashion & locales were quite nice as well, I thought it was a really enjoyable read.
Admittedly, I skipped part 4 after a couple chapters, and I haven't read Stone Ocean or Steel Ball Run. Are they worth checking out or should I just focus on Part 8 now?

stone ocean is good, the ending is weird, but you know that already, since its when the "retcon" happens. Jolyne might be one of the most interesting jojo characters.

Steel Ball run is pretty good not the best it whole plot was just racing to win a million dollars and later on the main characters Johhny and Gyro fight the president who wants sumthin called the corpse parts which gives people stand powers and makes them even stornger

^ Well, um no actually. Like I said before I never completed part 4 beyond the first few bits. I couldn't stick with it and jumped ship onto Part 5 initially based on the more provoking character designs & fell in love with Vento Aureo instead. I would've noticed if you were privy to my reading methods, my room's not that big...

So far as I can tell Araki was always OK with story stuff before he started getting good, but he has indeed gotten a hell of a lot better at art.

Parts 1-3 are easily the best, after that JoJo began to slowly slide downhill. Four was bleh aside from Kira who I like as a villlain, Vento Aureo has a cool story and some interesting characters, but the ending felt anticlimatic...yet nothing compared to Stone Ocean's in terms of awfulness.
I refuse to acknowledge Steel Ball Run and JoJolion.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Blackmore on September 30, 2011, 02:14:59 am
I think the first one beats all of them in terms of manliness.

Also Part 2 was pretty awesome. Joseph made the Ripple look awesome. Caesar made it look classy as heck.

+ Polnareff + Both Bucciaratti and Giorno feel like main characters + Things are FABULOUS + Interesting new stands
- Crippled Polnareff - The antagonist wasn't very charismatic and he wasn't very developed - King Crimson's confusing as hell Stand ability
Forgot to mention that Gold Experience was a deus ex machina.

Started reading Steel Ball Run thanks to this thread popping up. They're not even at the first checkpoint yet and I'm really enjoying the story so far. Another very unique cast of characters to boot. Araki could make a manga about bookkeeping interesting.

I don't even know if GER is a + or - It's surprisingly broken and makes for a both awesome and awkward way to defeat Diavolo.
Also yeah, it's way way waaaaaaay too early to judge Jojolion. The first three chapters have been interesting.

It wasn't the only broken stand in part 5 though. The one that had those viral capsules on his fists that corroded flesh was written out of the final conflict when the team came to a crossroads. I'm guessing the motivation for his leaving the story was to add more tension to the finale, otherwise that fight would've ended quick if a stand with that kind of power were involved.

I know Araki removed Fuugo and Purple Haze from the story because he was "too broken" (Still, one of the things he does so well is how he handles fights and how power levels usually don't matter)
Speaking of broken part 5 Stands, there's Notorious B.I.G...

I said shits and giggles because as awesome as Joseph and part 2 are, the art was awkward as fuck for a good long time. There is no denying this, S.D., and you know it.
Even if Diavolo was pretty shittily developed, his death is probably one of the nastiest ways a Jojo baddie has gone out, next to getting your ass beaten by a prepubescent kid and written out of existence on top of that.

Oh but I deny it. Especially after reading Araki's early works like Cool Shock B.T., BAOH and Gorgeous Irene. (http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/8871/1230423327172.jpg)
his death is probably one of the nastiest ways a Jojo baddie has gone out, next to getting your ass beaten by a prepubescent kid and written out of existence on top of that.
Diavolo and Pucci had pretty much the same death, in a sense.
What about Kira? That was a plain sad way to be defeated.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Shunt666 on September 30, 2011, 10:17:04 am
Except neither Kira nor Pucci have to relive their death over and over. While we're on the subject, I always thought Cars' fate was both humiliating and quite gruesome.
Gotta wonder what's in store for Valentine.

Post by: Nomechy on September 30, 2011, 11:31:08 am
Steel ball run might be my favorite next to 2 and 3.
And that's why Arc II can't be my favorite. The ending is just too crappy for such an awesome manga.
I know. The fact that the volcano's eruption was strong enough to launch Cars out of orbit is a little over the top but I've seen worse so I'll let it slide.
At some point president Valentine summons Part 3 Dio from an alternate reality and strikes an alliance with him.
Seriously? That makes me want to read SBR now.

Hold the phone. So it's not classic Dio but another instance of Diego who somehow has The World as his Stand? That's a bit disappointing...and totally unexpected. Can't say this is the first time Araki gets me by surprise though.
Hopefully, he also possesses the charm of the original character, not just his powers.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: S.D. on October 02, 2011, 12:58:54 am
I skimmed through the raws so I just saw Diego with THAT new "ability" at the beginning of the last volume. I'd check the rest but I don't want to spoil myself even more since I actually enjoy SBR (And the scanlations are back to a semi-regular release schedule)

King Crimson ability is that he is able to Erase Time, literary. Ex: King Crimson get kicked in the nuts, he can just erased the time when he get kicked and escape the horrible fate of nuts-buster.
Btw, does anyone know WHY Bucciaratti is still alive after being punched through chest by King Crimson? And can maintain the "zombie" state of his body throughout the series by his own sheer will?
I know Gold Experience healing technique is awesome, but i don't recalled it can bring the dead back.

Ex: King Crimson get kicked in the nuts, he can just erased the time when he get kicked and escape the horrible fate of nuts-buster.
That's easy mode. I mean, the scanlation group had to add a whole new page to explain how does his ability work (Like, if he gets shot what happens to the bullet if he erases the time frame when he received the bullet)

Supposedly it has to do with the first punch Bucciaratti received from Golden Experience (You know, after the "taste of a liar" scene.)

Post by: Rote Zaungast on October 10, 2011, 01:27:52 am
I take it he doesn't erase what already happened, I guess something like splitting the same time frame into one for each object, or him jumping to a moment the bullet is past him or making the world jump for him or something
and did araki ever talk about how his alternate worlds work? because it defeats the pupose of everything if it's the kind where all possibilties happened, I'm afraid it's probably this one especially after seeing stone ocean's ending, and it's leaving a bad taste and making me read sbr on and off

I don't know if the parallel worlds got explained at the end of SBR, but I know they were an important part of the plot, so... Anyways:
Quote
Time Skip: King Crimson has the power to cause a time skip, where everything except itself and Diavolo is suddenly changed to be in the state they would have been a short time later (usually 3-10 seconds later). Time still flows normally for Diavolo, who can interact with the time-skipped objects for the amount of time that would have normally intervened (to Diavolo this appears in the form of the would-have-been intervening objects' states being superimposed on each other, in a fashion akin to Nude Descending a Staircase). The nature of the time skip is such that, for example, a bullet that would have hit Diavolo will suddenly be shifted to be on his other side as where it would be seconds later.
and did araki ever talk about how his alternate worlds work? because it defeats the pupose of everything if it's the kind where all possibilties happened, I'm afraid it's probably this one especially after seeing stone ocean's ending, and it's leaving a bad taste and making me read sbr on and off
My understanding about Stone Ocean's ending is, the death of Father Pucci create some kind of reboot to the whole JoJo universe. Everything that happen in all of the JoJo series is voided/nulled... aka never happened. The whole story about Joestar family, Dio family, and other previously stand users, is reconstructed into SBR. Where Jonathan is from America as opposed from British.
The ending in Stone Ocean where Emporio met Jolyne is perhaps a hundred years later from SBR. And the new JoJolion series is a couple years after the Stone Ocean ending.

So I can assume Jojo isn't pubblished in any of your countryes?
I am happy : here in Italy we had Jojo in comics shop since1996 (IIRC).
Was love at first sight... First 2 series were good, third was IMO the best, I loved the 4th with Josuke and Morio, fifth was ok, hated the sixt for the invisible zombies and the stupid ending.
Now we are at the climax of SBR, we are missing just the last 2 books of it. I liked it, was cool : nice art, nice story and chars, I hope Araki dosen't screw at the end.
Also : have you ever read "Under execution, Under jailbreak" and "The lives of eccentrics" ? I really loved these 2 books!

I know this topic is old and hasn't been active in more then 30 days but I read chapter 8 that has been tranlasted in a jojo's bizarre adventure fan forums and in that chapter Daiya reveals her stand power which can take memories from people and it is stored in the top of chess pieces and she also tells josuke that her stands weakness is if someone stands on her shadow the top of the chess piece breaks returning the persons memories back but if the person tries breaking it which josuke tried to do it well disapper forever and her stand is named california king bed also Yasuho returns how and it is revealed that she my be a fosterchild that's my hunch since her gurdian haves a different last name her name is Suzuyo Hurose and she is a drunk and possibly a slut since she had a kiss mark which is another reason why Yasuho spent her childhood more at the Higashikata's or is never around and she got the DNA test from the police to find out that Kira and Josuke are 95.8 % the same person which shocks her and she notices the symbol on kira's hand which is the same symbol in the higashikata's home and josuke tries to use his stand to trick daiya in stand on his shadow which fails chater 9 josuke tries to espace by calling yasuho for help but daiya wipes his memory of her then she seduce him into having sex with her but he remebers he haves to call someone and she leaves frustrated chapter 10 she still tries to keep him under her control but his stand still in bubble form touches her shadow and he finally remebers everything and she starts crying that he want like her anymore and josuke kisses on the cheek saying he'll like her if she shows him whats so sercretive in the up stairs study in there they find a book with the name SBR and it ends right there

Video's titled JoJo ED so I'm gonna go and say no. Posted: October 06, 2012, 12:45:32 am Watched it, at least episode 1 quickly burned through the embarrassing and least interesting start. The technical aspect is fine, they do try hard to reproduce the manga panels - not the best idea for the first act though but we know we can expect what's coming to be solid.

I just watched GG's subs of the first episode. The pacing was amazingly fine, it's understandable that they skipped the part where Danny burns to a crisp (Understandable) Other than that, not bad so far, not bad at all.

It did move a little bit fast IMO but that's not so terrible. Really looking forward for more.

I'll just leave this here:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Spoilers from Jorge Joestar: Cars coming back to Earth. Cars is a really nice guy. The Holy Corpse from SBR is Dio. The Dio in Part 3 is fake. The real Dio is still alive. OVER HEAVEN was written by fake Dio. Dio's 14 words on how to get to Heaven are revealed. Morioh gets separated from Japan and grows legs and starts walking around. This has to do with one of the words. The island the Passione family is on starts moving and collides with the Morioh island. Like in SBR, the characters in this world are slightly different, though many have the same names. All stands are different except for Heaven's Door, Gold Experience (Requiem), and Killer Queen. The rest are similar but different. Narancia's stand is "U Boat" and is a deep-sea diving Stand, but still has rapid-fire weapons and is remote controlled. Giorno has already taken over the Passione Family. Doppio exists independantly of Diavolo. His Stand turns objects into telephones. The one who shares a personality with Diavolo is Giorno. The reason the same people and Stands exist are because they survived a loop into the next repetition of the universe, like Emporio. Giorno used GER to "nullify his death" and move through space time, when time sped up at the end of part 6. Rohan just kept working on his manga and turned out okay. Kira seems to be connected to the Deadman's Questions story. He's more nonchalant now. Diavolo used Crimson King to not truly die, but only the version connected with Doppio died. Jorge is not killed by a zombie. Cars "remembers" about Stands. Ultimate Cars and Ultimate Dio team up. Jonathan comes back to life. Because Elina was storing his head. He fuses with the holy corpse and becomes Ultimate Jonathan in the SBR world. So the corpse is Dio+Jonathan. This is differenty from Johnny. Kira uses Bits the Dust to go back and time and do stuff. Because... Cars takes over Killer Queen he enduces explosions to run time backwards until it's back to only "one time the universe has repeated" which is the SBR world That's how Jorge and Jonathan end up in the SBR world. The reason Cars does things is because he hold something close to "respect" for human bravery and ambition. Killer Queen stops obeying Kira and follows Cars.

WTF That's from those novels ? Specifically the last one that came out recently ? Are there scans or translations or just someone who picked it up and summed it up ? That's a shitload of stuff happening in just one book. But the books aren't canonical, are they ? Like the identity of the Corpse, it was pretty solidly hinted at in SBR. It only sounds like the writer wanted to please those pissed off by the ending of Stone Ocean. Are the previous novels worth something ?
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: S.D. on October 10, 2012, 10:09:37 am
They are super recent, they came out this month I think?
There's no scans yet. I don't know if someone is going to go through the trouble of scanning it since it's 765 pages long and it only has two or three pages with illustrations.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
The guy writing these spoilers and reviews describes it as "purposefully really fucked up and insane" and "not serious" like the main story. And it's non-canonical, purely a spinoff of the main story, and not connected to Jojolion or the like. He likes how bold it went in its storytelling and recommends people don't dislike it because it does so much stuff to the established canon. Basically he's taking the foreshadowing and stuff in the series and bringing it to his own sorta fanficcy explanations and conclusions. But it's purposefully totally insane and satirical.
-Jorge's World is Earth after 36 cycles.
-This is a fact established in the middle of the story when they run into all of the Cars' assembled on Mars.
-Originally when I heard there was a character with the same first and last name as "George Joestar", I assumed it was the a "SBR and Jojolion-type parallel universe setup". But I didn't know it had repeated 36+1 times. The number 36 is taken from the "36 souls" from the "Way to Go to Heaven" that Dio left behind. The 36 souls are explained as "The 36 bodies of Cars that accumulated after the universe repeated 36 times."
-The distortion in Jorge's world is the result of the effects of the "strain" from the universe repeating. Perhaps the fact that only Japan is left pretty much unchanged is the effect of a singularity existing there?
From what I know, the part 4 novel (The Book: Another Day) is just another mystery story. It feels just like another chapter from part 4. The part 5 novel (Golden Heart, Golden Ring) expands on what happened to Fuugo after he left the group. I would assume that they're good, I've never read negative reviews about them.
And I don't really know what's the plot of the new Jojo VS novels (I only know what I posted about Jorge Joestar. Other than that I know nothing about Over Heaven and Purple Haze Feedback)

Episode 3 had a bunch of QUALITY moments. But as someone said before, it's still better than most of the stuff airing this season. At this rate we'll be done with part 1 in five episodes or so.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Post by: DKDC on October 22, 2012, 03:59:13 pm
Part 1 in 5 episodes, not part 5 :P What's coming of part 1 has a bunch of slower stuff, so I'd say maybe not five episodes total for part 1 but at least 6, probably 7, at most 8 episodes total (so 3 or 4 more). Still, we're definitely getting part 2 and we'll have a lot of room to fit it in 2 seasons.

It's good that people are enjoying the worse arc that jojo has to offer, I guess that it being so retro is helping a lot; it will be even better when the superior arcs get animated.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: DKDC on October 22, 2012, 04:39:12 pm
Yeah, actually I was wondering if they weren't blazing through part 1 to get rid of the oldest, less original, most cliché arc to quickly get to the more interesting ones (notably arcs 2 and 3). Still, the visual style they're giving it is stunning (those colors and line arts), so we can just hope they'll keep it. The next arcs will be the best thing on TV ever if they keep that style. Rock and groovy at the same time (especially in arc 2 and the US in the '30s-'40s, I expect they throw some jazz in).
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: SNT on October 22, 2012, 04:51:32 pm
Possibly into Part 3 as well, seeing as Jotaro's dad is a jazz musician. That is, if David animates it.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: DKDC on October 22, 2012, 05:14:26 pm
Depends, they could do it by era, jazz fits the US of the '20s to '40s, but part 3 in the '90s would be more rock I think. But that's only if they change the atmosphere to fit the part, music would play a big role in that.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Nomechy on October 22, 2012, 05:58:41 pm
Part 1 is really "charming" partially due to the cliches and unintentional hilarity in in. I do hope this runs to the later parts as well.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Bastard Mami on October 22, 2012, 06:33:51 pm
but part 2+ is genuinely good, hilarity is intentional and it revolutionized combat manga. I see where you go with part 1, tho.

Doesn't like it? Where/when the hell did he say that? If that were true, why would he bother having released a game AND a theatrical film of Phantom Blood as opposed to say, Battle Tendency or Diamond Is Unbreakable (Is Not Crash)? And for those of you saying this arc is rushed, it's most likely due to that very reason into why they're making such vast progress in a short amount of time.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: DKDC on October 23, 2012, 10:02:14 am
why would he bother having released a game AND a theatrical film of Phantom Blood
Since when is he the one who decides to do those things ?
Nothing Jojo related is released without his consent. It's a well known trait about Araki that nothing flies with his works unless he allows it. Example: It's the reason why the PS2 games weren't released outside of Japan. Araki refused to change any character or stand names because of possible copyright infringements in other countries, to maintain the integrity of his IP.
Which is also why there's doubt that the new PS3 fighter will even see our shores.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: DKDC on October 23, 2012, 10:41:55 am
His agreement to a proposition doesn't meant he favors this or that though, unless he's very anal retentive and only cares that it's something he doesn't like, no matter the quality of the product. If it's true he doesn't like it "that much", he won't do more about it, but it doesn't mean he would stop others from doing something proper for it, does it ?
The copyright thing is completely different, he actually didn't want to change the names but wasn't allowed to keep them, that's a lot different from what mechy was saying. (as for the PS3 game they said were looking into it instead of denying it immediately, so it's still open)
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: S.D. on October 23, 2012, 10:45:31 am
I doubt he HATES part 1. He probably feels like it's not as fleshed out as the other Jojo parts. And I think it's common sense to start theatrical adaptations and such from part 1.
Example: It's the reason why the PS2 games weren't released outside of Japan, Araki refused to change any character or stand names to avoid possible copyright infringements.
Uhh, I think the game didn't make it here because: -It was based on the movie and the movie never got released outside of Japan and had no real fan base (No, the people who barely know the series because of the Capcom fighter don't count. And I think Viz's release of the part 3 manga wasn't out) -It was a terrible game.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Shaddap on October 23, 2012, 10:50:24 am
@DKDC: Copyright thing was directed at you, in reply to your question.
And the only thing Araki ever stated disliking was the Phantom Blood movie (and there's speculation that his input is the reason there's no physical release of it to this day). That's why I'm wondering where he said he disliked Phantom Blood, unless he meant the film.
And @S.D.: I was mainly bringing up Giogio's, not the Phantom Blood game. I think any Jojo fan knows that game was a steaming pile. haha

I asked how he decided "I'll have a film made out of this part", not "this company is making a game, I'm okay with that, but not if they change the names". That's totally different. If you're right and what he disliked is the film (after it was made), then that would make sense as he would have said "no sir I don't like it, don't spread it kthxbye / GAME OVER".
(it just doesn't mean he would have stopped the movie or the game from being done in the first place before he could see he didn't like it)

The Vento Aureo game? Yeah for sure that was the main reason (I think the game was supposed to get released only in Japan and Europe, since the copyright laws are more lax in Europe but for some reason the European version got canceled) It was a fun game though, and the voice acting was top-notch (I keep wondering why they didn't keep the same voice actors for JoJo All Stars)

still it is a completely different matter whether he can stop stuff from getting made ("no sir, I hate phantom blood and nothing will be done on it"), and he can get stuff made ("I lvoe part 4, hey let's make an anime out of it"), which is how some parts of the previous discussion sound to an outsider.

You're right that episode 3 had a bunch of quality moments, but I doubt the part 1 arc will be done in 5 more episodes cuz they'll be skipping too much important details and it'll leave alot of people lost if they go too quickly to part 2 or 3 maybe they'll do like 20 episodes at best to finish part 1 and next season will be part 2 and they'll make more episodes of each season which will be based on the 7 arcs of the jojo series
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: DKDC on October 25, 2012, 07:28:55 pm
20 episodes for the first arc is way too much, especially at the speed they're going. It's doable in under 10 episodes total.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Bastard Mami on October 25, 2012, 07:40:06 pm
It's been confirmed that they only bough 2 coeurs so it ahs to be 24 or so episodes and as byakko said that's too much for arc 1, so we most likely are ognig to get 2 arcs compressed in the 24 episodes.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Bastard Wolf on October 26, 2012, 07:38:30 am
episode 3 ended exaclty where i left teh manga two years ago, now i need to catch up before watching ep 4 because it feels better to see what you've already read properly animated. i'm glad this series took so long to get animated this way not only are going to have pretty much everything done without filler but with great quality as well. if this had been done before we might still be in namek dealing with jonathan's childhood.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: DKDC on October 27, 2012, 01:42:46 am
So the first 3 episodes almost reached the end of vol. 2, and now this fourth episode went past halfway vol. 3. There are 5 volumes for part 1, which puts us exactly at half point, so 4 more episodes should be enough. By now we have a pretty good idea of how it will be, there shouldn't be much change (at least for part 1). The voice acting is kind of rushed (they're just going with the speed of the episodes without spending much time putting complicated feelings in it, the usual over-played dramatic tone of old animes) and the animation is minimalistic, but the art is still good save for some QUALITY here and there, they're going wild on special effects, and the soundtrack is still great. Well, then again, nothing really interesting is going on in this episode. Overall, it's above average, but I hope they'll slow down for part 2 and spend more time on animating stuff - it has 7 volumes, and there will be about 16 episodes to do it all, so it should have a better pace - half more content for twice as much time (considering the pacing of part 2 was originally better and more varied than the linear part 1 anyway).
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: S.D. on October 28, 2012, 04:32:17 am
The pacing was super fast... from Jonathan's retrieval to Jack the Ripper in one episode? And the Black Knights are already showing up next episode? Jesus Christ...
I'm OK with that if it means a better paced part 2. Also I'm not really digging Zeppeli's voice actor, but that's just me.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Bastard Wolf on October 30, 2012, 04:51:49 pm
they also completely removed when wang chan attacked jojo while he was training (which IMO came out of nowhere). well, i don't really mind that they rushed through this part since there wasn't much going on and jack the stripper was a lame henchman (same for wang chan). i'm more worried that the black nights arc doesn't get too rushed (i also wonder if they'll leave the baby-face-eating scene)
i'm done with phantom blood and it wasn't bad but it felt rushed and didn't had much character development and zeppeli's friends were an useless addition since they didn't do much besides die and protect some kids that they should have dropped somewhere
and i know speedwagon was supposed to feel great admiration and respect for jonathan but with the cheesy dialogue it came out as a huge man-crush (which is specially funny because jonathan barely even spoke with him during the whole arc because he was too busy talking with other main characters). but still, speedwagon was my favorite character (after dio) [avatar]http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb404/Bastard-Wolf/avatars/speedwagonBIG2.png[/avatar]

joseph is already my favorite jojo, holy shit what an asshole you just gotta love him. the crossdressing part made my sides hurt. and FUCK YEAH A TOMMY GUN!!

Part 2 cast revealed.
Joseph: Sugita Tomokazu, just like the game. Caesar: Satou Takuya (next to nobody...) Stroheim: Imaruoka Atsushi (SSF4's Adon, Baccano's Dallas Genoard) Speedwagon: Ueda Youji (Viewtiful Joe's Fire Leo, not a hell of a lot else) (yeah, I fucked that up.) Lisa Lisa: Tanaka Atsuko (SFxT/SF3's Poison, Nier's Kaine, Fate/Stay Night's Caster, GITS' Major Kusanagi)
I knew we'd get the Major for Lisa Lisa. Can't wait.

Post by: S.D. on November 14, 2012, 02:01:19 pm
I always thought that the perfect voice for Cars was Kaneto Shiozawa. ...Too bad he's dead but hey what are we gonna do about it? (Daisuke Gori was the perfect voice actor for Tarkus too)
The old OVA's had (for the most part) terrible voice acting and art style... but that's all we had back then so JoJo fans couldn't be picky. And seriously, how can this guy not be voiced by Wakamoto? (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091109104633/jjba/images/2/24/Stroheim.jpg)
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: SNT on November 14, 2012, 02:10:14 pm
I don't know, for me that's a low priority anyway. There are other characters for Wakamoto later on.
Getting Tanaka for Lisa Lisa, though, that's something I can care a lot for. Lot of people thought they'd get Kobayashi for her, but for my money no one can do cold and sultry like Atsuko.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: S.D. on November 14, 2012, 02:31:03 pm

[Joseph]OH MY GOD[/Joseph] this episode was fucking gorgeous. Glad they gave a boost in quality to this episode, even if a couple of inbetween episodes got a bite in quality taken out (comparatively speaking). This is definitely going to be the best anime ever. Looks like the next episode will probably end with the same timing as manga Phantom Blood (with the start of Battle Tendency).
Oh by the way, about subs, it seems to me like Deadfish's are the better choice, they come out on Monday.

deadfish is not a fansub group, they just reencode other group's releases into mp4 format. judging by the release date they most likely use commie's subs

You are right, the BDs were confirmed to come with their own set of English subs, and yeah, we don't really know about the quality of said subs.
I just checked DeadFish's subs, Byakko is right they're way more accurate and they even translate the sound effects...ACTUALLY, I double checked some of the copies I downloaded for comparison and I realized that BastartWolf is right, DeadFish is just a reencode of Commie (I recall also trying GetBack, MMM and Nutbladder, I had an issue or two with their wording or their encodes)
Maybe it's just me but gg and commie/deadfish's the translation (and wording) of the opening feels off and kinda awkward at some point (Plus Commie/DeadFish has no karaoke)

I have less of a problem with that than calling a blatantly closed rose "in full bloom". Just another problem I have with Nutbladder.
I agree in that particular instance GG's is awkward, but I'm okay with a bit of artistic license being taken with subtitles if I feel it adds to the product. So far I reckon GG's done just that.

I agree abit on that on even doe I saw the new episode RAW it didn't have that big emotion at the end of part 1 it had and it had afew things I didn't like 1. why did dio's head float on the ceuling? like he didn't hold on to anything O.o what happen to his hair he used to hold his head up 2. you don't see erina standing up in the flames looking at jonthan she's knocked down and the flames engulf the place 3. Jonathan's look in his eyes don't look like he's dead what I mean is they don't turn dim and his eyes close by themselves :stare: other then that it was an ok ending for part 1 now I'm looking forward to part 2

People's eyes don't turn dim when they die, it's just a habit most animes have. Apparently this one doesn't, that's all, but it doesn't mean he's not dead.

I had to rewatch it to notice you were right about the hair part . They just did it so quickly people hardly noticed it and they made the shot of his face too close which also makes it look like he's head is floating. Also, true I know when someone dies their eyes don't turn dim like I wasnn't refreing like other animes like that. I meant more like move some of the glaming parts in his eyes and silently mave them thin like he's exhausted and maybe his mouth making a small grin instead of his mouth open like breathing. But, my main issue what I didn't get is how did his eyes close by themselves when he was dead :???: that was the thing that got me cuz when you die your body muscles tighten up same for your blood vessles so his eyes would have stayed open like that when he died since, he haves no way of moving them. The only way his eyes would close if someone were to put their hands on his face to close them. So idk I guess they rushed this episode since it's the least favorite arc of jojo. Eitherway, it's still a good episode some flaws but still good so now to look forward to arc 2 of jojo hopefully it's not as rushed as it was with arc 1 like the beginning of it but will have to see this satuday to find out.

It's an anime about people who get transformed into vampires who suck blood with his fingers with an ancient Mexican stone mask followed by even more bizarre stiff and you're worried about a character's death being biologically accurate and implying that it almost ruined your experience? That's borderline autism.
Uhhh... are you sure you've read the manga? http://www.mangatraders.com/view/file/101767/page/131
His eyes are open and in the last panel they're clearly closed, they added that inbetween scene for the sake of transition, otherwise the whole thing would look very inconsistent.

Yeah I read the manga I'm fan of jojo's bizarre adventure anyways, to bump up this trend chapter 16 recently came out and it's really creepy but, to start of Nijimura (the maid of the higashikata family) is a joestar and daughter of holly joestar also is the myster stand user and turns out she never meant to harm josuke and she's surpised he doesn't remeber her. Since, they had some connection together . Also,here's the creep part that ends in the chapter. Upon Nijimura inspection, she informs Josuke that he has seams going down the middle of his eyes and tongue, proving that (similarly to his testicles) he in fact has 4 eyes and 2 tongues. which explains the gap in his teeth and he's an image from the ending of the chapter.

They didn't ? The translation you used was probably bad - or just not using the manga as reference. He says the exact same thing to the taxi driver word for word (in Japanese at least) as he did in the manga. (keep in mind that the original line is rather short, and anime subtitle really avoid putting long sentences in subs when the spoken line is short, so that line may disappear forever if a more fitting translation is found)

Deadfish's video quality isn't better, they just encode the file to run on lower-end systems (The loss of quality is barely noticeable though)
As for episode 10, they skipped the part where Joseph was checking out the American girls and acting as a womanizer, other than that the episode was good. The new opening will debut next week (Part 1's first episode didn't have an opening, remember?) I would like to see another ending but the webpage only lists Roundabout. They could change the song after the end of the cour/episode 12, it's not very likely but it could happen.

Totally imagine Gill's win pose (where he turns his back to the screen and snuffs the fire/ice in his hand) from that Santana pose. Santana seemed so bad ass in the manga, I was hoping he'd have a bigger role in it.

y'know for a character i thought was pretty cool, he did sorta turn out to be a complete moron, which i didn't really realize till i watched it animated for some reason. but i guess that makes sense since his ambition was pretty dumb already anyway

Well of course, you had ALT-Stroheim and Gyro was Caesar, Magenta Magenta was supposed to be Cars. But SBR also had a bit of part 3 (Avdol) and 4 (The first Higashikata, and at first people thought that Oyecomova was Kira and Sandman/Soundman was somehow related to Koichi.
I still want to see ALT-Joseph. I don't know if we'll see alternate universe Giorno though, but hey anything can happen, it's JoJo.

Would he gain inmortality at any point? Would he have a lot of illegitimate children?

Hmm interesting I'm abit surpised that they are using the same design apperance as the old OVA for Jotaro I figured he would have the under shirt pink-ish instead of the red orange look but it's ok. Same for how star platinum and the world look, Dio not too surpised on how he looks.

On this aspect perhaps [my view] is quite at odds with how young people understand it. I think there are quite many characters who became immortal exactly because they died, like Caesar Zeppeli in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" or Raoh in "Fist of the North Star." Precisely because of the way they died, they were able to live forever.

No part is perfect. Part 4 suffered from a lack of proper plot holding it together and it kind just went with the "zany adventures of Josuke and his pals!" kinda thing. The characters and the fights saved it for me.
Steel ball run is still the best though.

I love the VA (as I do the character), but in this role he's practically always yelling or just plain loud to the point he's irritating ; now it's the kind of person you'd just want to punch in the face if he was being so loud next to you. The few times he's not loud, he just sounds sleazy. I know the guy can talk normally and has a damn good voice, and that annoys me.

I honestly like part 3 joseph better since he's more well rounded and isn't too foolish (he still is at times) just I guess the experience he haves from what happened in part 2 made he realize alot of things. Also I agree Jonathan was the most unintresting jojo second would be josuke (part 4 jojo) like I think part 3 and 2 were the best for me I tried reading part 4 got bored fast of it 5 I never read it and 6 I was annoyed for some reason how it was maybe it's cuz the beginning and the way it was to me made it hard to read same for part 7 I just couldn't finish or start it completely 7. Part 8 it's weird I can read it for some reason but idk I guess it just different taste to each person reading it.

while the VA for Joseph has actually made me like the character a little less
oh good so i wasn't the only one. i didn't had any problems with joseph while i was reading the manga (i always read the manga chapters before watching it animated) but after watching the anime i just couldn't stand him in some parts [avatar]http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb404/Bastard-Wolf/avatars/linkBIG_zps30dae333.png[/avatar] i also preffered will zeppeli over caesar. is not because caesar was bad but because he was more like joseph's sidekick rather his equal (even if he was supposed to be better than him using the ripple) and never really did anyting until his last battle. also: soap bubbles
my main problem with part 1&2 (not sure if it also happens in future parts) is that it's like later DBZ where anyone who wasn't a saiyan (or in this case a jojo) would only get killed or narrate the fight (perhaps the same could be said of all shonen mangas?)
also, joseph is the jojo who wouldn't die even if he is killed

I actually thought the voice fit Joseph pretty well. I mean, that's who he is; a guy who acts like a loud, arrogant prick because he knows he's smart enough to back it up. He's supposed to be somewhat irritating.
Yeah Jonathan was a bit of a lemon. He is better in the anime IMO since he comes off as a lot more expressive.
So you are moving to stands and such now? Better get ready cause some of that stuff is going to give you a headache.
Yeah, Jonathan was slightly better in the anime, but even there his personality never really gets much deeper than "I am the good guy in this series." He doesn't ever do anything other than fill the role of protagonist. The rest of the PB characters are pretty cool, but Jonathan himself is basically a nonentity.
And I'm already familiar with Part 3, at least as much as anyone else is since it's the most well known, so I think I can handle the stand stuff.

It didn't matter if Polnareff was the one doing everything, in context of the '90s you were still not looking at him but at Jotaro. In context it wasn't weird.

I'm just saying that reading it now it seems weird that he can be considered the main character when he rarely shows up, hardly speaks, and barely contributes to the plot for several huge stretches at a time. It's like if Dragonball tried to claim that Yamcha was the real main character in one of its later arcs or something.

Post by: The Simplistic Fubini on March 13, 2013, 02:43:33 am
I like Phantom Blood. Actually, it's my favorite arc. There is one simple reason for this:
Araki never developed a better rivalry between protagonist and anthagonist.
Even if Jonathan is an archetypical hero devoided of originality or charisma, he's the most humane JoJo. You can't help but to feel symphatetic towards him, waching his life going downhill because of Dio. You can feel his frustration, losing his father's steem, his sweetheart and watching Danny die painfully. Shit man, that's depressing. Then he mans up and beats the shit out of Dio.
Dio is a fantastic anthagonist. He charms not only George Joestar, but the readers as well, even when we know he is a bastard. How many characters can do that? Dio fills a better role in PB than he does in SC. In SC he's basically Castlevania's Dracula; waiting for the hero(es) to show up at his cas...mansion.

Supporting protagonist syndrome. It's even more evident in part 5.
It's not that bad though.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: DKDC on March 13, 2013, 03:19:54 pm
Yeah, I guess by part 5 he just has so many characters he wants to show that there's nothing left for the hero to do. At least in part 7 there's only two main heroes, and even if the central JoJo is still the sidekick to his sidekick for nearly the whole series, it's still better than putting him in the background.

Can someone remind me why Jotaro is considered the main character of part 3? Because it's really starting to feel more like this is 'The Adventures of Polnareff and Friends.'
ugh, tell me about it. and the worst part is that everyone has to babysit him (even iggy) and meanwhile jotaro is just standing in teh background doing nothing except cover his face with his cap (probably out of embarrasment for being such a boring mc compared his predecessors)
I want to catch up with this, where do you recommend I read Parts 1 and 2?
since you'll probabbly want to read the manga online rather than downlading it then i can also reccomend this link when you're done with part 1&2 http://www.batoto.net/comic/_/comics/jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-3-stardust-crusaders-r6268 as you probabbly know (or not) the scans available for part 3 are are very poor quality because there was an officlal english release but someone fully scanlated part 1-3 in spanish with good quality scans ---> SAMPLE (http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb404/Bastard-Wolf/other/JOJO-v13-c117-p017_zps538ba601.jpg)

Part 3 was more or less Jotaro and the gang getting into crazy ass problems on their way to the big bad. I wish he was more interesting , but he didn't really have to be .the way story was organized allowed them to focus on the group as a whole rather than tall dark and silent.

HAHA, joseph just went ahead and pointed out something that was bothering me from the begining and asked jotaro and kakyoin why are they always wearing their school uniforms on an-around-the-globe-adventure and their answer is pretty much "cuz we're students, duh!". also notice how joseph is always wearing something different, just like in part 2
and while reading part 2 did you expected such an obnoxious and loud dick like him to become a loving father? (http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb404/Bastard-Wolf/other/brushiebushie_zps4ca56880.jpg) joseph joestar: 50 years later and still best jojo

Just finished Part V: Vento Aureo. I was reading it way earlier but then stopped around the Notorious B.I.G. fight, which really drained my enthusiasm but I decided to to finish it off after my silly post about Giorno being the worst JoJo. It had some great fights but outside of Buccellati, its characters were kinda lame, especially compared to Part IV's cast. Hell, the entire part felt like it was Buccellati's story rather than Giorno's. I'm two volumes into Stone Ocean and already Jolyne is infinitely more interesting than the JoJos from Part III-V.

There is nothing that could possibly be dumber than the power to blow up nails like balloons and then twist them into balloon animals and then they come alive and act like real animals and then they bite you and then the balloons pop and then they turn back into nails and stab you.

Just finished Steel Ball Run. At first I was a little ambivalent about it because the fights felt incredibly short compared to how they used to be and stands felt incredibly basic compared to the shit that was pulled in Part V and VI. But then everything began to slowly ramp up in utter insanity and I absolutely fell in love with SBR. Also it's amazing how just a small design change can revise my impression of the villain from Effeminate Pudgy Ponce to Americanest Adonis.

stands felt incredibly basic compared to the shit that was pulled in Part V and VI.
Honestly, I felt like that worked in SBR's favor. I loved Stone Ocean, but a lot of the stands in that one felt like they were just too abstract for their own good. Like that one that only hurts enemies when the user tries to kill himself, or the one that made fictional characters come to life and attacked by acting out fairy tales on enemies. SBR was vastly improved by keeping the stand powers relatively simple.
Except goddamn Tubular Bells. >_<

Yeah, I'm not sure what was up with that other than Araki just changing his mind halfway through like with Annasui. I kind of assumed it had something to do with the corpse parts, but like you said it was definitely a change for the better so whatever.

That completely came out of left field, but it was cool. At least it wasn't Jotaro popping up out of nowhere and somehow beating all the bad guys because Jotaro's just so fucking cool he has to be in everything. >_<
*ahem*
But yeah, Diego suddenly pulling out ZA WARUDO was a pretty good twist.
Also, is it just me or is anyone else starting to get the impression that the Higashikata's are supposed to be the SBR universe version of Passione?

SBR was vastly improved by keeping the stand powers relatively simple.
Expect for D4C maybe, but he was the main baddie so it was pretty fitting.

johnny joestar is mentioned in the history books in the latest raw. basically, shortly after the events of steel ball run, he got married, and then got hit by a fucking boulder and died. pfft
also a bit more joushuu goofiness. would've liked to see him in action a bit more but hey, he's just entertaining

Hey, you never know with Araki! Maybe they though it was smashed under a rock but they never actually found it. I reaaaally wanted to come up with a theory using Diego's head but it's kinda hard when it disintegrated thanks to D4C's ability to bring another Diego from an alternate universe.

It'd not like it matters since I'm planning on getting everyone (Not counting recolors) so eventually I'll have to get a couple of figures at scalper prices, but I'll have the extra income eventually.
I'm pretty sure that they're going to release part 1 figures eventually, maybe after they're done with whatever they plan on releasing next (Stone Ocean or Steel Ball Run)

I agree with KoopaKoot. That's really creepy. Like if you came home and everything was shifted slightly to the right or was a different shade from their normal color. Just wrong.
And does anyone play CPS3 Jojo's? That game is actually pretty good, but if I don't have anyone to play it with I'm not going to spend $20 on that. Also I don't know if it was mentioned before but All Star Battle is getting an EU, NA, and AU release sometime in 2014. Get hype?

that is weird, I remember it getting reruns as soon as it ended, which mean the rerun should be over about now, which is why some speculated that once the spring-summer rerun ended we would get a new season for autumn, as it happened with littel bastards and bakuman (sans reruns in their case), I don't remember more reruns getting aired mid season or something. there was a twitter post about jojo anime airing on tbs(?) recently which made some people think the next season was starting but most people think it' just a rerun as we have had no pvs or anythign at all hinting at a new season as all the hints we got were for the ps3 game.

jojo deserves to be a spring series; considering the big amount of material that is left to animate, moving it to spring is a very clever move (I am not sure how it works or why, but stuff that companies think will sell a lot is aired during spring, death note, code geass, etc...).

At first I thought it was too harsh and violent, but then I got used to it ( about episode 3 of the anime is when I got used to everything ), in fact I loovvvve this series! I have a lot of favorite characters but my top favorites are Joseph and Kakyoin~
Briefly played the arcade game, but just Challenge mode to avoid spoilers, getting both that and All-Star Battle on PS3 one day.

As a JoJo's fan myself, words can't describe how fucking happy I got now that Part 3 is getting adapted into an anime. But yeah, here's hoping that it won't have a lot of filler material like the OVA's did. :P

Part 3 overall has a of "filler" but it's par of the course since it's supposed to be a sort of a road trip story. The OVA made the whole trip seem hella short.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: DKDC on October 16, 2013, 04:33:25 pm
He wants it to go straight to Dio, without the d'Arby brothers and the gorilla and everything. But he might not understand the term "filler" in the context of a manga to anime adaptation.

Post by: Mikel Orihara on October 16, 2013, 04:36:10 pm
Yeah, I actually meant the material that was cut out, as well as the changes to the scenes from the manga (When the Joestar family have a meeting in a cafe in the manga, they have it at Holly's house in the OVA).

So, I'm sorry I'm so late to all of this, and at the risk of sounding like a total n00bster (I've only read part 1 and 3), is this anime any good? I see they managed to fit all of Part 1 in 9 episodes (http://wwws.warnerbros.co.jp/jojo-animation/story/), the art doesn't resemble the original manga too much IMO.
Should I, like, TOTALLY WATCH THIS, MAN! Or stick to the manga?

Post by: DKDC on October 16, 2013, 04:41:22 pm
Totally watch this, man. Even if you thought Jonathan was a pussy in the manga, you'll like him in the anime. They crammed all the first part of part 1, the most boring part until Jonathan learns the Ripple, in the first 3 episodes by simply going super fast, and then they only skipped very minor things, that's why it fits in 9 episodes. Generally speaking, the anime is just as flamboyant as the manga needed it to be. The soundtrack and the visuals are spot on.

ACTUALLYYYYYY ...
I thought Jonathan's story was very relatable, the bizarre adventure begins from a very ordinary, everyday scenario ... and then degrades rapidly. I found him to be quite a noble character, and therein lied his strength.
Then I started reading part 2, and realized Joseph is a fucking loud mouthed, troublemaking punk and that absolutely put me off from reading it :-X

Yeah, I was just speaking generally for Jonathan, lots of people find him "so beta". If you thought Joseph was a loudmouth... Not gonna lie, it's going to be worse in the anime, I like the VA but I hate the way he talks when he's in this particular mode, and he's going to do it all through part 2 :P But everything else is worth it. Re: Caesar, meh, he's still greatly in Joseph's shadow most of the time, so even if he's good, you don't get to enjoy him much as a character, I think.

Funny. That is exactly the reason why I liked Joseph so much more than Jonathan. :P
Jonathan always seemed sort of boring to me. Like, he was just a stock manga protagonist without much unique about him. He's a bit better in the anime, but Joseph has always been the more interesting of the two to me.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Bastard Walt on October 16, 2013, 05:52:09 pm
He is sort of boring. Like I said, his appeal (IMO) is that his story is so ordinary, that it's almost relatable to a regular person (you know, except the part where he's a super strong, naturally athletic, and proficient in combat all of a sudden). After the threat is over he carries on with his idyllic life.

More specifically, he beats up their boss and replaces him. Except he's always in the back and rarely does shit and is a boring protagonist because of it, much like Jotaro. But fangirls love both of them precisely because they're tall dark n' silent and have all the solutions.

He sticks a knife in your chest without hurting you. An extreme version of his old man's practical jokes.
the art doesn't resemble the original manga too much IMO.
For part 1 that's really not a bad thing. The anime, like ASB is made to look more like Araki's newer artwork (meaning when/if they do Part 6 anime, Jolyne will look like a woman, fufufu).

But I thought Buccelatti was the protagonist of part 5, not Giorno. Giorno is just some guy who hangs around never doing anything, except for occasionally reminding people that he, Giorno Giovanna, has a dream.
Same deal with Jotaro. He was ostensibly the main character of his part, but he never actually did anything important. And then he kept showing up in the next three parts and continued to never do anything important.
Jotaro sucks.

Okay, maybe 'nothing' is stretching it a bit. But both Giorno and Jotaro had this weird problem where they would just hang around in the background and never say anything or do anything for huge stretches at a time while all of the other characters were making the plot happen. Then they would get into a big fight to remind readers that they were still around. Even Jonathan at least did stuff during his run.

He killed Kira too, and gave his life to defeat Pucci.
That's the other thing I can't stand about Jotaro. Every part he plays a major role in, all he does is stand around holding his cap down over his eyes while the rest of the team does all of the heavy lifting, then he swoops in at the last possible second to dispatch the Big Bad. And somehow that makes him a big cool hero?

Considering that most of the time the big bad has this unbelievable power that no one even begins to understand and definitely stands any chance against ? Yes. Dio's time stop, Pucci's ability stealing and gravity shift, Diavolo's time erasure, no problem. Come on, what are you doing. No one called him a "big cool hero". You don't have to try and act like everyone worships him and then insist on dragging the characters in the dirt because you hate them. Tall dark and silent, with the power to demolish any bad guy like it was no sweat when no one else could touch them, some people like that, deal with it.

LOL, Just because the protagonist isn't some overly ADD whore that hogs most of the fights and is generally obnoxious like a majority of the shonen doesn't make him any less important. Him not talking is a characteristic. I'm pretty sure he's been involved in most fights in part 3 in some way. Can't speak for the other parts tho.

Post by: MightyKombat on October 17, 2013, 12:05:44 am
It helps that even if he starts out like it, Jotaro rather quickly becomes less of a generic grumpy asshole that says "hmph!" all the time and makes dumb excuses to not look like a loser. He's still fairly taciturn and grumpy looking but he breaks out fairly well especially in Part 4 where he's older and wiser. He doesn't even spam his catchphrase that much in Part 4, about like, 3 or 4 times?

Not all the publications come with furigana (Yes you got the term right), I'm surprised JoJolion comes with it though, UltraJump is a seinen-oriented publication.
At this point I believe that stands in JoJolion are related to their users' underwear, that means Yashuo's underwear has a map pattern and Jo2ke's underwear is 「Soft & Wet」.

The art style looks so good. It looks so crisp, plus the panels are organized well. Dio kinda felt like a good guy though IMO compared to the original manga, which was a downside for me.
Is this completely fan-made, or was it sold in stores? It really did look, and feel professionally made.

For Joshuu, sure. But then after that she immediately jumps into a car with a bunch of dudes who try to roofie her. And then again at the end with that guy creeping on her from the peephole? Jeez. :(

LOL maybe part of the stand's ability makes you really rape-prone. Maybe it's like a rape-y version of Gold Experience Requiem...that would be terrible. Also I noticed Jo2uke's eyes aren't halved anymore. Did Araki screw up, or was it just not close enough up on his eyes for that type of detail?

Jojo Anime twitter said:
Due to the intentions of the direction, this week we'll just have background music for the credits. The proper ED starts in episode 3.
Same twitter moments after said:
Not to harm the reputation the production team, the reason isn't that the ED wasn't done in time.
It didn't bother them to spoil the whole thing in Battle Tendency so I doubt that's a problem here. Beside, there's nothing particular that they wouldn't want to spoil before the third episode.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Trinitronity on April 13, 2014, 07:50:23 am
I love it, that this anime finally became reality, but now, I'm kinda worried, how the producers will handle some of the later chapters... I know it will unlikely happen, but I really wish there also will be at least one of the "The Genesis of Universe" chapters, most preferably the first one. Also, will the High Priestess Chapter be ported to the anime, or will Midler get some more screentime? Afterall, Araki did that Midler redesign (which became canon), so she could get the additional screentime in the JoJoCPS3 fighter, which she hadn't in the original, so maybe the anime production wants to follow suit a little bit. Of course, if the anime will be extremely accurate to the manga, then it would highly unlikely happen. Man, so many question, and I would have to wait long for the answer, seeing that the anime just had started at AnimeRush...

Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: DKDC on April 18, 2014, 07:23:34 pm
... Okay, but it doesn't make sense either that Jonathan's Stand would be Hermit Purple too. Holly has flowers and vines, but at least it doesn't look identical to Hermit Purple (and we don't know its effects).
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Erroratu on April 18, 2014, 07:29:34 pm
Its called differently,but it has the same power. I don't really remember its name. I guess they have the same situation as the Boom Boom family from part 7 where all 3 of 'em had the same stand
Edit:Apparently its said in the JoJo novel "Over Heaven" that Jonathans stand shares the same name as Josephs
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Iced on April 18, 2014, 07:33:23 pm
quote i found
Quote
Regarding Dio's purple hermit At the start of Series 3, according to Joseph, Stand is develope from Hamon. When one's Hamon reach a certain level, it can create a spiritual guardian, and Joseph call it STAND. He relieve the word STAND from the song stand by me.
Under this explanation, I think it is pretty logical to think that Dio's purple hermit is actually developed from Jonathan's Hamon, My personal theory is that Dio does have the purple Hermit Power but since the purple Hermit is related to Hamon, It will hurt Dio whenever he uses it, this is why Dio never use the power of purple Hermit again. Another reason might be Purple Hermit is pretty useless against the heroes. There is no point using it.
But in a later stage, Araki explained (i think is either in Jojo agogo or 6251) that he originally want to make the World consist of all the other stand power, but he change his mind because he feels that to be able to stop time will make the World more powerful rather than to make him have all the stand's power.
more to the point the last bit is interesting.

Makes sense, if he had to scrap this idea, it explains why he needed to come up with "oh, the one he already used, well... It's Jonathan's, and Jonathan's is exactly the same as Joseph's, same name and same effect" instead (even if it's lame).
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: S.D. on April 18, 2014, 10:34:27 pm
Overheaven isn't written by Araki and most people don't consider it canon but yeah Nissio was trying to tie some loose ends (And make Dio seem in love/super tsundere with Jonathan or something)
Quote
Hermit Purple #2 (The italicized information below derives from a Light Novel not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered canon.)
Along with activating his own Stand The World, it was stated that Dio's semi-precognitive abilities that seemed to have resulted from a Hermit Purple-like Stand were due to a Stand power that awoke in the body of Joseph's grandfather Jonathan Joestar. Similar to Hermit Purple, it can produce a psychic photograph by smashing a camera, which Dio used to track the Joestars and their friends's current location to send Stand Users after them. This Stand is also capable of showing an image present in someone's heart through a crystal ball. Dio used it to show Polnareff one image of J. Geil, as that image represented the pain Polnareff felt in his heart.
According to the JoJo novel, Over Heaven, the Stand shares the same name with Hermit Purple.

Well I finally finished reading Over Heaven.
This literally explains every plothole, retcon or unanswered question left by Araki, for instance, why DIO isn't able to use Kikarei touhou in part 3 (because Jonathan's body wouldn't be able to stand it and also how it's not useful in a stand battle), same for the Space Ripper Stingy Eyes (I disagree a bit with that one though,sure it can't damage the stand but it can damage the user), the nature of each stand's appearance (Even why The World has the ability to stop time, why the watch motiff) Namedrops, connections, hints and references to every other part too (Several meetings with Pucci, Jongalli, Diavolo, DIO's kids, the origin of the 14 words, "Ghost Ripple", why people infected by flesh buds or zombies or people with no willpower aren't very proficient with stands, how Dio's weird animal experiments from part 1 helped him to prepare for detaching his head and invade another body, why Holly's stand affected her and why defeating DIO would heal her, who and how was Dio saved after the boat exploded in part 1, etc..)
It might not be canon but it was super interesting, definitely worth checking out (And it's not even that long, it's only 205 pages)

Yeah the first handful of chapters are pretty much: Mom was a fool, Heaven, Heaven, Heaven, mom was a fool, Heaven, I hate my father.
The next batch of chapters are just: JoJo why are you such a bitch, Jojo you're spoiled, Mom was a fool, Heaven, Heaven, Grandma Enyah doesn't let me bring Pucci for a sleep over, damn old hag.
The second half of the book tones it down a little, but still, that's pretty understandable.

Nukesaku was there too. So I guess these are the new scenes that David and Araki wanted to add. I doubt they'll go for something as crazy as making Hol Horse part of Jotaro's group.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Jango Hakamichi on May 05, 2014, 10:29:27 am
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
The story's pretty tight-knit already, so in order to make Hol Horse turning into a good guy work out, his involvement would probably be one of these:
Since the series has been good with teasing, it would be interesting to see Hol Horse get separated from the group and run into Pucci, who promptly kills him for betraying Dio. While it wouldn't happen onscreen, the assumption would be that this is Dio and Pucci's last day together.
During Jotaro's fight with Dio, Hol Horse attempts to save Jotaro, similar to how Polnareff does. Except he'd probably die from it.
Nukesaku kills him because LOL
This is of course ignoring the fact that earlier that day, he shot himself in the face multiple times and was hospitalized.
OF COURSE you could get rid of the whole bit where Hol Horse and Boingo team up (which was a silly arc anyway, and if they cut it out, I wouldn't miss it at all), but as mentioned above, it'd be pretty hard to put him in without it looking ridiculously tacked on.

Finally, someone posted that. It was so awesome to see Petshop, even though he did nothing at all. Damn, now I'm even more hype for the Iggy vs. Petshop duel. BTW, I have found new questions about future episodes, like: -Will they keep the 4th wall break lines from the Wheel of Fortune and Sethan chapters? Maybe they only work in the manga... -Just how much of the (canon?) Stardust Crusaders sidematerial will they use (probably nothing, but I would love to see something from Genesis of the Universe)? -Will the second half have a new OP theme like Season 1 or just a different OP with Stand Proud? Because the second half WILL have Iggy. -What other tease cameos could we expect? Vanilla Ice? Hol Horse? Maybe one of the Egyptian God Stand Users? -What other new scenes can we expect? Anyway, I cannot wait for the next episode anymore.

It makes a lot of sense to ask all these questions on a forum because everyone knows we can totally answer them way before the episodes air.
-Will the second half have a new OP theme like Season 1 or just a different OP with Stand Proud? Because the second half WILL have Iggy.
Season 1 changed opening because it went to the next part. It doesn't mean they won't change the opening midway, but there's no sense in taking season 1 as reference.

(Although this makes me wonder if they're still gonna have to flee early when Joseph gets into his own criminal problems with The Empress)

Nonononono, Araki's stand is Heaven's Door. So probably what happens is that every time the art changes, his editor beats him up with Crazy Diamond, and heals him back up, but not quite perfectly so that Araki HAS to change his artstyle to compensate for his increasingly fucked up drawing hand.

Currently dyin since there are people with part 5 and part 6 profile pictures crying because of Avdols death at the forums.
Anyway,the last episode was TOO good.It wasn't even censored,holy fuck,I was expecting Avdol and to have a big black circle on his head or something. The fact that I knew that mah nigga aint done yet kinda ruined the last moment of the episode
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: CapnWTF on June 09, 2014, 01:24:03 am
funny thing is that (unless the version I was looking at was censored somehow) you can clearly see there's no actually bullet hole in Avdol's face...he's just bleeding a little bit, but that's the type of thing only somebody who is looking for it would notice I guess?
And speaking of Araki having Heaven's Door...I wonder if he draws each chapter of JJBA in like an hour. Frankly it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: Jango Hakamichi on June 09, 2014, 03:22:43 am
IIRC He had a bullet hole in the original panels when Araki wanted to, y'know, actually kill him off.
The sad thing is, I think the OVA handled it the best in that it showed the bullet approaching, cut to his bandana flying off, then showed him lying on the ground facing away so you couldn't actually see the wound. And while it was shitty that they cut out every fight between Avdol's "death" and his return, it ended up making the idea that the bullet just scraped his forehead more reasonable, since less time went by (apparently).

Like the part where J. Geil gets impaled on that gate when he falls after being hit by Silver Chariot ? Yes, he's impaled, he's not just standing on his head with his foot leaning on the gate, if you look a little above the foot you notice that the gate is partly broken where J. Geil got to slide down that big spike.
I just checked on the JJBA Wikia and it seems they actually changed the design of the gate to make it more obvious, the one in the manga was more elaborate - apparently in the manga he just caught his foot in the top of the gate, but here he clearly broke through stuff along that spike.

I'm pretty sure that the gunshot is way way more graphic in the manga, you can tell it was toned down for the anime.

Yeah, but then again (http://point-b.webatu.com/img/AvdolHeadshot.png) it's extremely clear that he was really supposed to die there. I mean, you see the bullet enter his forehead straight on, and you even actually see blood splash from the back of his skull, meaning the bullet went through and got out from the back like it should. And then when he comes back, they just say "oh, it didn't hit him straight since he was leaning back because of Hanged Man's stab in the back, it just grazed the forehead without entering". That's just a retcon. So... I guess that the anime is simply trying to apply the retcon by not showing the bullet actually enter the skull. Which makes the censorship matter void.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Post by: S.D. on June 21, 2014, 01:40:55 am
David Production did mention implementing some of Araki's scrapped ideas and doing small retcons, that might be one but still, the gunshot could've been a bit more graphic? I mean, they've been way more obvious with the censoring this season (The shadows now stand like a sore thumb, they were pretty subtle before)
I need to check the OVA version of Avol's "death".

Not really. People rarely care about voice actors in fighting games, bar some historic and iconic ones like Wakamoto and such, or English-speaking ones who are just everywhere like Bosch (and even then, they're also massively known in anime/cartoon dubbing already). But in animes, they're much more important. Especially if we're talking huge shounen franchise.

Back in June, Warner Brothers Japan confirmed that the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders run be a full year, 4 cour production, adapting all Stand encounters from Hirohiko Araki's Part III manga, which ran from chapter 114 to 265 in 1989-1992, collected in volumes 13 to 29. Today, in a webcast moderated by Osamu Kobayashi, it was revealed that the four seasons will not air consecutively. A break is planned after the second.
After a fall pause, the series will return in the new year to adapt the Egyptian phase of the battle against Dio.

Back in June, Warner Brothers Japan confirmed that the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders run be a full year, 4 cour production, adapting all Stand encounters from Hirohiko Araki's Part III manga, which ran from chapter 114 to 265 in 1989-1992, collected in volumes 13 to 29. Today, in a webcast moderated by Osamu Kobayashi, it was revealed that the four seasons will not air consecutively. A break is planned after the second.
After a fall pause, the series will return in the new year to adapt the Egyptian phase of the battle against Dio.
Jojo train not scheduled for continuous service. Also...

The production also reiterated this week that an adaptation of Part 4 Diamond Is Unbreakable has not been greenlit.
word in the street is that part4 is planned but they want part 3 to sell well and by confirming part 4 right now, part 3 will sell less.

Watched the Sun episode and it's a funny one... Including that goofing laughing scene.

That reasoning doesn't make sense. Why would that happen ?

I'm guessing they want to maintain that the show's continued production relies on home video sales doing great. If people start to think that every part being animated is inevitable, there would be less incentive for people to go out and buy Blurays and thus less revenue.

The part I'm not getting is why they think that confirming part 4 means less people buying the BR/DVDs for part 3. Unless there's a belief that people will want to wait for the whole thing, therefore not buying part 3 alone and waiting for a bigger package. But this is bogus because it didn't even happen for parts 1 and 2, they're still sold separately without any "full season 1" pack or anything. So I don't see how waiting for part 4 to come out before buying part 3 is a thing.

because part of the incentive of buying part 3 is not owning it, but rather knowing that your money goes to finance part 4; if part 4 is already confirmed the "financers" so to speak, won't buy part 3.

how fuckin unnerving was that 'next week' preview this time around though? no fast cuts throughout the episode or music or anything, just....that
i honestly really dig how they did that, even knowing what happens and how it ends, the way they pulled that was insanely creepy

Hi, everyone. I just wanted to share this video of Mr. Araki while he's making this magnificent art piece. You'll get to see his various techniques and methods that he applies to his most recent art. Definitely a must watch for JoJo fans.

I fucking knew it. All his recent art (faces) looks so symmetrical and round, he's using Michaelangelo's sculptures as a reference!

Hold on, i'm getting confused with the episode count. Last episode I watched was High Priestess Part 1. What episode is the latest? Sorry, i'm not at home right now and so I can't check.
Title: Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

High Priestess Part 2 is the 24th and last episode this season.

You mean Araki. And that was posted weeks ago in ANN, not really worth a new post.
And here I was expecting the next chapter or raws... but then I remembered that there's no JoJolion this month. Oh well.

He looks more like he did in the OVA rather than anything in the manga.

We all know David is going to change his design slowly until he gets that freaky human face in the same way Araki did, so...
Eh, and here I was expecting JoJolion spoilers (Well they're raw is already out and there's stuff about Josuke taking Jobin's golden car and eyeball licking and other stuff)
