[The Grim Heaper]

Looking great. I think Koji Yusa was a better fit for Kakyoin, though...

 

[Mistouze]

Seems like this season is going to have...*gasp*... ANIMATION in it.

Already loved the first season, shit is going bonkers if they deliver on that front for Stardust Crusaders.

 

[Rewrite]

Kakyoin PV

That looked so fucking good.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I still kinda prefer his game voice

 

[Yonafunu]

Polnareff's PV

 

[Boss Doggie]

For a moment I thought I saw Kars

 

[BearFlexington]

Damn I'm slow. I just made the connection.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Heh, seems like Jojo's influenced a whole lot of stuff, and it's been fun realizing it as I've gotten into the anime series.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah they influenced a bunch of characters in fighting games.

 

[LeleSocho]

Another example is Rose of Street Fighter being identical to Lisa Lisa.

 

[DominoKid]

so Rose from SF is really based off Lisa Lisa?

edit: that same time post FTL.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

April 4th can't get here quickly enough.

 

[LeleSocho]

so Rose from SF is really based off Lisa Lisa?

yes.

 

[Card Boy]

Stroheim and Jolyne have SF characters too.

 

[BearFlexington]

Stroheim and Jolynn have SF characters too.

Whoah . . . the plot thickens.

 

[SolarKnight]

Yup, it's a pretty blatant reference/homage really. I mean, hell her stage in the Alpha series is Venecia of all places isn't it

 

[Astral]

Both Polnareff and Kakyoin sounded much better in ASB. Kakyoin especially. I still can't wait though.

The official site has updated with the full staff and OP theme info.

Director: Naokatsu Tsuda
Series Director: Kenichi Suzuki
Chief Unit Director: Toshiyuki Kato
Series Composition: Yasuko Kobayashi
Character Design/Chief Animation Director: Masahiko Komino
Stand Design/Action Animation Director: Fumiaki Kouta
Stand Design/Sub Character Design: Shinichi Machida
Music: Yuugo Kanno

Mostly the same guys who worked on the first one, some in different capacities. The animation directors are better though, so hopefully it'll make a difference. The composer is the guy who did Psycho-Pass.

The OP theme is "Stand Proud" by Jin Hashimoto.

 

[Branduil]

The composer is the guy who did Birdy the Mighty Decode.

Fixed.

Seems promising. Yugo Kanno is good, always manages to deliver a notable main theme. Hope they had good scheduling.

Will watch. loved part 1 and 2. Never read, played, watched Part 3 and heard it is awesome. i dunno if like the stand approach yet...

A lot of the early stands aren't really that different to some of the stuff in Parts 1 and 2, it's just an explanation for super powers other than the Ripple or Vampires or Pillar Men.

 

[jgminto]

I'd say the enemy stands are very different, the main gang is fairly standard though. I don't think I've ever seen anyone say they prefer ripple to stands once they've read Stardust Crusaders and onwards.

 

[Kurita]

I can't go back to ripple shenanigans. Stands are too good and the fights are way more interesting.

 

[saher]

Polnareff's PV

Oh My God!!!

 

[Boss Doggie]

I just realized Joseph is the only Jojo who doesn't do rapid fisting

 

[Leezard]

The God of Asspulls doesn't need any rapid fisting.

 

[Kurtofan]

Something's changed... http://i.imgur.com/lNtmArFl.jpg (potential spoilurz)

 

[SolarKnight]

Where's that from? I know what you're implying there because I heard the rumor, but I have no idea where that pic is from.

Edit: Using reverse search it seems that art is definitely an old one, but I still dunno what artbook it's from.

 

[Mistouze]

Something's changed... http://i.imgur.com/lNtmArFl.jpg (potential spoilurz)

What should I see there? Pink haired Polnareff or Kakyoin and Jojo finally having uniforms of the same color?

Spoiler

Or Stardust Crusader remake post manga retcon?

 

[SolarKnight]

Jojo A GO! GO!

That's the artbook

Maybe it's Hol Horse? I really don't get what I should be looking for.

there's a rumour that in the anime

one villain is going to join the team

They should really get the dude with The Sun to join them. Boom, Dio can't touch 'em.

 

[SolarKnight]

I'm almost 100% sure that's gonna be fake, and if that pic you posted was meant to be related to that rumor then it means nothing since that's an old picture.

It's

Polnareff

 

[SolarKnight]

It's

Spoiler

Polnareff

Spoiler

The rumor means BESIDES Kakyoin and Polnareff

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Why would the deviate from the source material when they haven't so far?

Doesn't seem like it would go over well

 

[jgminto]

If

Spoiler

Hol Horse joined the team

we wouldn't get the

Spoiler

Hol Horse/Boingo vs Jotaro fight

and that would totally suck.

 

[Kurtofan]

Well I saw it today so I thought it was new.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Didn't one of the Press Releases say they were going to make changes?

I figured it'd probably be cutting down some of the filler fights for time, fixing some of the continuity errors (Dio's coffin), and some easter eggs relating to what Part 5/Part 6 said occurred during Dio's stay in Egypt.

 

[SolarKnight]

Well I saw it today so I thought it was new.

Yeah, that's the first time I saw it too, but like I mentioned in the posts below yours, after investigating with reverse image search it turns out that it's from the Jojo A Go! Go! artbook

 

[AlimNassor]

Part 3 stands are okay to meh, but, part 4+ is when the stands become unique and infinitely better then ripple.

Cutting filler and the like is one thing, but something like

having a villain join the team

just seems unnecessary.

They haven't even done that.

Also I don't think there are any filler fights.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Also I don't think there are any filler fights.

Let's be serious for a moment, Part 3 has great fights, but most of them are more or less "Monster of the Week" deals that just pre-occupy the gang on their journey to Egypt, and could easily be written around if they wished.

 

[jgminto]

But that's the whole point of part 3, if you don't have that you may as well just skip to Dio.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Are they going to kill

Spoiler

Avdol

in his fight against Hol Horse?
