If it runs all the way to jojolion, then I am a happy man. Because we'll get to see Jotaro's hijinks as well.
And we can't forget about poor old Cars can we?

I had heard numerous references to JoJo and knew it was popular, but I had never really been interested in the manga. I'm REALLY glad that I decided to give the anime a shot when it came out though because holy crap.  This has got to be one of the manliest things I've ever watched, plus the animation is great.  The ending and both of the openings are great too.

Also I love the fact that the characters for some of the sound effects show up in the anime itself. :3

Cars
is my favorite Jojo villian thus far(just finished part 3.) I also think Dio is overrated. Also, should we spoiler manga stuff?

I love Roundabout being used as the ED, now a new generation of kids is finally getting some goddamn taste in music :V

Also I love the fact that the characters for some of the sound effects show up in the anime itself. :3

Araki is very particular about this. A long time ago one the things they wanted to do with the manga localization of Jojo was reduce the amount of huge sound effect words, but Araki wouldn't allow it.

He also won't allow anyone to rename the characters for copyright reasons (he says the names are an integral part of the experience), which is the main reason Jojo will never be sold in the west.

I really liked the Capcom fighter and the manga, but haven't gotten around to watching the animation yet. I'll have to get around to it, while pushing my uni's anime club to see this in all its manly glory. :V

IIRC some of the characters did get new names for previous US localisations (Vanilla Ice to Iced), but this is probably tangential.

That was just for the fighting game. Capcom had the rights to it and Araki didn't have any control over that.

IIRC The plan is to do all of JJBA, but it'll take multiple seasons and probably won't be back-to-back. Season 1 is Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency (Part 2 has quite a bit more content to cover than Part 1).

And god damn Joseph is an incredible character.

I watched the initial anime, I gotta make time to watch this at some point.

Hopefully they should re-do Part 3, as the initial did leave out whole fights.

Post by: Raikaria on January 05, 2013, 03:20:30 PM
Well, I've watched Part 1 now.

I now understand a few more things from Pt 3 than before, while something doesn't make sense as well , but I guess Pt 2 should answer it [Which I refuse to watch until they finish Pt2, it's how I watch things, in arcs.]

Just started watching a couple eps, and I got to say that the anime adaptation does a really good job capturing the feel of the manga. I'm expecting even more good things to come out of this.

Also, I think they're going to go with emulating how the art style changes over time too, which could be pretty interesting.

EH?

h-he's not? ;_; I'm thinking that they haven't finished the other characters yet- I mean, they call it an All-Star Battle but duwang only has 2 playables (when there's so many more characters that would be fun to play) and same thing with vento aureo and stone ocean nooooooooo

Well its just that he isn't confirmed yet. And there already seems to be quite a few characters, so I don't know...Either way if I'm wrong, feel more than glad to correct me, because I'll be glad too. I NEED CAESAR AND SPEEDWAGON.

Nah, I mean things like D'Arby's brother, who I forgot the name of. I mean, that's why was holding up Jotaro while Polnareff and the others were fighting Dio's right hand man [Who I also forgot the name of], and it added more depth to Jotaro's character too, as well as his relationship, and co-ordination with Joseph.

Although, considering the main reason this took so long was that the writer didn't want anything left out... yeah.

So, er, apparently the fuller version of Bloody Stream by CODA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVJQf0wv4Bg)

Fuller because the 'full' one was released a while ago which was 3 minutes long and this one... is 4. It sounds strange.

Apparently the three minute long one was a fan completed version. At least that's what the comments in those videos said.

EDIT: Annnnnd I'm wrong apparently.  Seems the actual full version comes out on the 30th and this is an extended version of the fan one.

and yeah, if he plans to adapt parts 4~6, he has to do 3 as well, 3's kinda important in terms of backstory, either because Jotaro is directly involved, or, like 5

so many stands in part 3 if they do animate part 3 i wonder if they would ignore any of the stands just to speed up the story

why would they skip part 3 anyway? In terms of backstory letsee, you have jotaro coming back in 4, 5, 6, polnareff in 5, and joseph in 4 etc

Ahhh I wanna get my hands on the blu-rays somehow just look at that quality
8k yen for one episode u_u oh lookit all those goodies

I caved and watched Part 2 so far.

After all, it's still arcs within Part 2.

I find it odd AC/DC, the master, was before the subservient one who I forgot the name of. I never knew much of Pt2. Although he is alive, he's beaten as a direct foe.

Their master/servant relationship never had anything to do with strength in the first place. But yeah, Wham is like leaps and bounds ahead of him in terms of power.

"You're even more immortal than him..."

I cracked up at that line.

Also, it seems Santana happened to be his real name, seeing as Cars knew who they were talking about. Wouldya fancy that :V

I get the strong feeling that Caesar is about to end up like his grandpa.

I get the same feeling too... and I noticed something in the opening that seems to spoil it possibly being the case too. I'm as clueless about Pt2 as you.

Hermit Purple is about as useful as that Sun arcana stand from Part 3 or Tonio's meals from part 4 in terms of combat.

Dio's WRRYYYY is so...it's just...so DAMN AWESOME.

Now all we need is Speedwagon and Caesar(And Diego Brando/Funny Valentine, but ignore them. Speedwagon is of higher priority.)

Unless you happen to be fighting a Vampire and are channeling the ripple through the vines
Which is how he lasted so long against Dio in Pt3
, or are using the vines for mobility.

I imagine Hermit Purple would have been very useful back when Joseph was younger, fitter and stronger, as a mobility aid in fights. Who needs a strong stand for combat when you have the Ripple and high physical strength anyway?

So, Part 2 is over.

I think it was a nice touch how at the climax they played the intro to Pt 1.

Also, at the end, Pt 3 teaser, including a shadowed Jotaro. He looks AWESOME.

I'm pretty sure that part is in the part 2 manga as well. It wasn't really a teaser.
But of course, they could've also chosen not to animate that scene. The implications are crystal clear.

Post by: Raikaria on April 06, 2013, 07:21:52 PM
Well that part was specifically after the Part 2: Battle Tendancy FIN message. There was nothing after Part 1's FIN message.

Seeing how loyal they're being to the adaptation, they wouldn't have put that part after Part II FIN if it was in Part II [On the other hand the Joseph kicking the Japanse person was before the FIN, so may have been the end of the manga.]

IDK for sure, not read Pt II.

Also Joseph in that airport part looked a ton different from OVA Joseph.

I probobly should say, that last ep would have probobly been even better if, you know, Pt 3 wasn't so well-known and popular and everyone watching JJBA didn't already know Joseph lived for Pt 3.

Especially since Pt 1 showed 'We're willing to kill the protag!'

Actually major spoilers. Do not look if you want to be spoiled.
I mean it

Even if he wasn't killed by Joseph off-screen, he dies at the end of Pt 6, like everyone. Including Cars
