Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (The old thread was turning a year old, and a new season of the anime is coming out, so I thought it might be okay to make a new thread. Sorry if I wasn't supposed to) Here we discuss the long-running manga/anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, known for its stylish and over-the-top action and quirky, unique, and memorable characters, and music references in names. There are a total of 8 Parts to the series so far, with the official anime adaptation of Part 3 coming out the week after this thread was posted. As one might guess, I am a huge fan of the series myself ever since a friend of mine turned me to it. I started reading from the Part 3 manga and never stopped with the series since. For those who haven't watched or read JoJo before, you actually don't have to start from Part 1, or any part in particular, to understand what's going on. Each Part has a (mostly) new cast and theme, though they do have somewhat of an overarching plot. So you can really jump in from wherever. Parts 2, 3, and 5 seem to be people's favorites for the most part, though, and Part 3 is where the concept of Stands--which are used throughout the remaining Parts--is first introduced.

Maeriberii Haan Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 You forget to mention part 7 and 8 is in an alternate continuity. But man, April 5th can't come sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 just recently started reading jojo from the beginning after i saw the old OVA. Dio is one of the most fun anime villains i've ever had the pleasure of watching In my opinion, Dio is one of the greatest villains of all time. As a fighting character even he is iconic. Most people on the internet have heard about him or a copycat of him one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I watched this show a few months back and it is such a great watch. I am very pumped for Stardust Crusaders. [spoiler=For those who've seen Part 2] So glad Joseph's having a role in Part 3 too, I really liked his character. And I heard he has the shittiest Stand and I find that funny.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Part 7 a best. Pretty much perfect it is. And I hear Stardust Crusader's OP name is Stand Proud. Already liking that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Part 7 a best. Pretty much perfect it is. Amen. Because of Diego and being even more over the top than most of the previous parts. Also, source for the OP name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodrigo Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Currently on episode 11 of JoJo 2012. Every episode feels like a movie in terms of intensity, and Joseph is the sassiest main character ever. God, I love this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildflame Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Currently waiting for those-guys-who-are-not-duwang to finish translating Part IV. Then I'll continue with the rest. Probably won't watch the anime right now (since I finished reading the manga recently, also haven't watched the 2012 one), but I'll do it when the nostalgia kicks in. Also, Kira > Dio.

Nicο Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 So with it being so close (actually episode already aired & Crunchyroll released it) I remembered there were doubts Roundabout could be left intact on CR so I checked and well, of course they couldn't get away with having the anime but being unable to get the Roundabout. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 So, do you mean to tell me I'll arrive home from college tonight right into Stardust Crusaders? OH, MY BODY IS READY.

Nicο Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 [spoiler=In case somebody walks into this thread before reading part 3/watching the first episode of it]... I slightly forgot that Dio was just a head and stole Jonathan's body but in a few seconds realized that before Joseph said so. Anyways, perfectly awesome introduction episode. Joseph's stand is awful and yes, it is hilarious. Already some personality to Jotaro, though it's cause for some disliking, personally, with the way he addresses his mother. Although Joseph's reaction, being the funny guy I know and love, was priceless.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Just watched the episode. It was great. Surprised they didn't try to do more with the episode, but I'm glad that they didn't rush through the the starting chapters. The voices for the characters are just great, as we already knew from PVs, but still. I like the eye catches, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Satisfied with everything from the episode. Though, with the pacing from the episode, I'm not sure that they could fit everything to 24 episodes, which means either rushing some minor battles, or more than 24 episodes.

Wildflame Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Honestly, there are a lot of battles in SC that could be skipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
