Thanks but I already have 14 days free trial activated.

So besides the anime that are displayed there are some of them hidden ? Like what ?

Well, afaik the only series that are hiddens are the ones not available in your region. For example, if I use the search bar I can reach the page for Hokuto no Ken, but there are no videos at all there on my side because HnK is not available in Mexico.

Still, there certainly is more than just the series you mentioned that are interesting and not "some story with little girls"

 

[dani_dc]

Due to Araki love for dog suffering, I'm expecting Iggy to be killed and for it to happen in an absolutely horrible way.

Haha, Araki is unpredictable, so prepare to be surprised.

Yeah probably. I'm a just little bit lost with all these anime

 

[JadedWriter]

Finally saw it, glad to have this show back, but I hate that I can't marathon it now. Good ep, is it safe to assume that Iggy inspired Koromaru from Persona 3? New opening is the weakest one yet sadly, Bloody Stream is still my favorite one. Polnareff is still the idiot of the group and Iggy is quite entertaining. I'm assuming that they used that Pat Metheny song because it seems to be a travel song, which fits the theme of the season.

Just get Crunchyroll Unblocker, if you have Google Chrome. It should allow you to watch most animes that aren't licensed in your region. It's how I managed to start watching One Piece on Crunchyroll.

 

[Jex]

Quite an ugly return to the season, I can only hope this isn't a sign of production difficulties.

Thanks mate.

There's some nice animation bits in this eps and some other piece that shown up at trailer that seemingly from eps 2, so I don't think its that bad.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Not a fan of the OP. I feel like the lack of vocals really hurts the ED, but it's better than the OP.

 

[Yonafunu]

Any specific moments? I don't think this episode looked any worse than last season. There were actually some pretty good cuts here and there.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Polnareff: It's a helicopter!
Kakyoin: We can see that. You don't need to state the obvious.

~5 minutes later~

Kakyoin: The helicopter from the Speedwagon Foundation is down in the sand!



Anyway, the easiest explanation about why nobody mentioned Stands in Parts 1/2 (outside of Araki not thinking them up yet) is that only Stand users can see Stands. Avdol mentions in the first episode that their powers would be classified as generic psychic phenomena by the rest of the world. In fact, the first handful of Stands all sort of correspond with that at the very beginning (Star Platinum lifting things and bending metal objects, Magician's Red setting things on fire, Hermit Purple taking spirit photos, Heirophant Green mind controlling people).

Yeah the head getting sucked in looked great.

 

[Siegcram]

Visually, the new intro is brilliant. The song doesn't have shit on Stand Proud.

Now there's a dog with a Persona Stand. I see...

I'd heard of Iggy before through osmosis, but I was surprised to see that he's apparently a good guy.

No. They even referenced it in this episode.

 

[SolarKnight]

Eh that's been Iggy's character in the abridged series for years, people were just waiting for the new anime footage I'm sure.

Sometimes I swear Jotaro gives no fucks for Polnareff.

Nobody gives a fuck about Polnareff

Oh so that's the reference

Also fuck Geb/Noul. I remember that guy in the Capcom fighting game.

But that quickly gets subverted with Strength, Yellow Temperance and Wheel of Fortune (and I have a feeling other Stands are exempt too)

Stands that manifest as physical objects can be seen by other people. Yellow Temperance is an exception, but the ship and the car remained in the world after the Stand users died, albeit in worse condition.

 

[JadedWriter]

I just started rewatching Part 1. Is there an accurate count for the amount of dogs Araki has killed in the manga?

 

[Reknoc]

They're all kind of the same really, all 3 basically disguised something, just that Yellow Temperance was the stand user itself instead of an object.

 

[Astarte]

Very good episode! The ORAS in the beginning were a bit off, but I enjoyed the opening. The ED is so relaxingggg

 

[NEO0MJ]

Like, 5. Maybe even 6.

 

[jgminto]

Like, 5. Maybe even 6.

Actually, there's about that in Part 3 alone.

 

[King Boo]

it's amazing that the younger jo had his hand in his pocket when the car was under attack. he was holding on with his other hand and being all nonchalant about it

 

[JadedWriter]

Lol what does Araki have against dogs?

I found that hilarious. "My life's in danger, but fuck it I gotta pose."

 

[Kanra]

Am I the only person who thought the op was great? The visuals were great, especially the poses and foreshadowing. And the song itself feels like it's leading up to the end and sounds epic. Also the song

Spoiler

title itself is a nice catch

Visuals are great, probably the best they've ever been, especially from a foreshadowing/manga fan standpoint, but the song has no payoff and it feels like it's about to get hype multiple times but never does. Should've had that moment after STAAAR PLATINUMMMMMM or after they all line up halfway through and it shows their Stands. The oraoraoras at the end are pretty weak.

So No Chi No Sadame and Bloody Stream are very difficult acts to follow up. Stand Proud doesn't even stand up to those two and it's a stronger OP than the current one.

I'd like the OP so much more if it actually went somewhere. ED is nice, fitting of the scene in the beginning before the plane's arrival, but not coming hot off the heels of a hype/tense/dramatic ending. But JoJo's is back!

Did you know that Iggy is named after Australian rapper Iggy Azealea?

So that explains why Iggy's a shit

[Soriku]

Jojo is back in all its gory glory. The new Stand user didn't waste any time wrecking everyone...how are they going to get to Dio, lol.

I like the new OP more than Stand Proud. Good choice for the ED too.

Yeah he didn't even waste time trash talking them like Steely Dan or Centerfold or that idiot Hol Horse.
Season 1 Ep 3:
I just love how Dio calmly struts up a wall.

almost

over, this is the big leagues now and Dio is sending his best 9 after the Stardust Crusaders, some of the next battles are incredibly tense and epic, good times ahead.

 

[BlazS01]

I'm really digging the OP, all of it, is awesome. At first didn't find it very good but the more I see/hear it the more it grows in me, constantly getting better . For me I like it better than bloody stream at least, idk about stand proud and sono chi no sadame though (greatly prefer them over bloody stream, music wise at least). I don't see the problem people have with it not having a clear chorus when all of the song is hype

 

[javadoze]

I have to admit, despite disliking it at first, the new OP is growing on me. Sure, it's not as instantly catchy as the first three, but it has its own charm.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Yeah the new OP is growing on me too

 

[Troubled Bat]

Is it Friday yet?
