mitchermitcher Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Strange, I don't remember the animation being THAT bad. Pacing I can sorta agree with. Okuyasu's seriously the MVP this time. I always liked him in the mango but the voice acting is just perfect. 39 episodes sound just about right. Been a while since we've had a 3-cour anime.

Maeriberii Haan Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 The closeups are fine, but the pan out shots are pretty bad, also it features Jotaro/Josuke/Koichi walking in a leisure pace when they supposedly "rushed" to get to RHCP while Okuyasu does his narration, while in the manga they're running.

Shradow Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 39 episodes sound just about right. Been a while since we've had a 3-cour anime. Durarara!!x2 was 3 cour and finished just last season. Also, no one here has brought it up but I've heard complaints about it everywhere else, so I thought I'd clarify just in case: Through lack of use the past 11 years, Jotaro can only stop time for 1 second now, and unlike Dio (who had an immortal body) he was never able to use it consecutively as its very exhausting.

mitchermitcher Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Glad the arc ended and didn't stall into three episodes. Josuke and Joseph makes for some good heartwarming. Next episode should be Shizuka if I interpret the title right. [spoiler=minor thing] WELL DONE DAVID, WELL DONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 It's a shame Joseph never kept up with his Hamon training, it would be great if we weren't old and senile. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 We finally got an "OH MY GOD" this episode, yay for Joseph. But he said Japanese coffee was great? Yeah, he's definitely senile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 We finally got an "OH MY GOD" this episode, yay for Joseph.My face lit up from that; I wasn't expecting that kind of outburst given his current frailness.Nice bonding between the two Jojos this episode. But I'm more hyped about next episode, this next Stand/character is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 We got an actual "This must be the work of an enemy Stand!" this episode, I'm pleased. But that sheet was not cool, though, when their skin opened up like pages of a book. Jesus Christ how horrifying. The additions to the ED are nice, though.

Pchi Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Is it me, or Hazamada got even smaller than before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 He seemed that way to me as well, but they're both pretty short. Koichi is 157 cm while Hazamada is 165 cm, not much of a difference. (8 cm it ~3 inches.) This episode did a better job at drawing them similar heights but from what I understand Koichi is drawn even more comically short in the manga. Though I think the same sort of thing happened to Tamami, maybe since they're not evil anymore they're drawn smaller as sort of a visual metaphor. Others have said that, since Koichi is the narrator at times, they seem smaller to him now that they're less threatening and are represented as such.

Shradow Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Well the new OP is fantastic, I really like it. This might be my favorite episode, too. The art and animation looked really good this episode and I liked the story of Josuke's savior. I'm pretty sure him looking like Josuke is because Koichi didn't know what he looked like and he was just substituting in Josuke's appearance, I doubt there's time travel involved. And not having him voiced was an amazing choice as well. That part was really emotional, and I liked the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Got to watching the episode. Man, that sad piano track gets me. The new OP is okay but it's not quite as notably interesting as the first one. It does feel more punk though, which undeniably fits Part 4 in its own way. And that Kira at the end is hype.

Shradow Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I have no idea who this Kira is, but everyone and their grandmother in the MAL forums is also super hyped about this guy, so I guess I have something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Liebert Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 This is the only anime series I've ever completely kept up with while it's airing. I heard that the first half of this part of the manga is more of a slice-of-life, and the second half is much more plot-focused. Either way, I'm a big fan. I'm excited for the main villain of this arc; one of my best friends (and the biggest JoJo Otaku I know) told me that this arc has the best villain in all of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. He also said that Stardust Crusaders, Diamond is Unbreakable, and Steel Ball Run are his favorite arcs. Part six seems to get the most crap. Anyway, I can't wait for the next episode.

Shradow Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I'm really enjoying the slice-of-life aspects of this show. For example, the episode with the chef was my favorite before this most recent one. Heck, a lot of the enemies so far have just been Stand Users living in the same town. Angelo, the Nijimura Brothers, and Otoishi are the only ones so far who feel like "main plot" villains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Well I haven't read the manga so I don't know what that is. I've seen the screenshots people have posted from previous episodes of cameos of him randomly in a crowd and stuff, but I didn't realize that's who Kira was.

Shradow Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 People are freaking losing their sheet about Kira over in the MAL forums, I hope he's worth all the second-hand hype I've been receiving. But apparently there's something relating to David Bowie, I dunno, but that sounds promising. Also, I funking love Reimi's design, it's beautiful.
