I think the funniest thing is the way DTL implies Jojo is written by a team of writers. lol.

DTL definitely lives in his own world.

Seriously, if there is F-Mega and a "oh that's a baseball" kickstarter I would make sur it reaches his goal faster than Yooka-Laylee. The announcer is fantastic.
Still a little bit disappointed that this fight isn't over yet but I understand since it was pretty long in the manga

He beat the Tower and the Lovers. And that's pretty much it. What a waste, he is my favorite design-wise.

Yeah Araki really didn't get the team dynamic (aka not just the JoJo doing everything) worked out until Part 4.

They will probably wrap up this fight in the first half of the next episode, like they did with Boingo/Hol Horse Part 2.
Since the next episode is called Vanilla Ice Part 1, the encounter will probably start in the 2nd half

I do kind of agree with this part. It makes a "grand return" pretty anticlimactic when it ends up like this, and unlike Avdol's.
These games are so silly. Someone said that the "comedy" episodes were done after Boingo's return, but this skirts a weird line between silliness and seriousness. I suppose the juxtaposition is pretty good.

I dunno, I kind of like Kakyoin coming back and then just losing because it fucks with your expectations. Pretty much every shonen has a part where the character comes back and owns the tough opponent to show how much he's grown.
Except Kakyoin is a weak loser
ok that's a bit mean but he is kinda weak. thankfully the next few parts split up the fights more, as opposed to the first three parts where the main character pretty much dominates everything. Which he should since he's the MC, but the side cast is one of the best parts of JoJo

This is unfortunately true about Kakyoin for the most part. I like the guy and he's probably my favorite character in Part 3 but he doesn't get to do much.
I'd probably have been more into it if I didn't just expect Kakyoin to lose from the outset because of how Jojo's Part 3 has handled fights thus far (especially thinking back to the other D'Arby one with a similar format).
What really would have messed with my expectations is if, for some reason, Jotaro went first and lost. That would be a real, "Oh shit, they're all screwed," moment.

You make a good point about Jotaro, I cannot deny that.
One of the reasons the final fight in Part
4
OH That's A BASEBALL!! is even funnier when said aloud.
That's what it was in ASB. Not really surprising.

Episode 41
I thought this episode was a real step up from the norm, both in terms of the cinematography and the actual quality of the production (art and animation).
There were lots of neat flourishes, like: the canted camera shots, the unusual perspective (both high and low) and the split-screen effects:
The close-ups were also pretty great:
Even though the characters have been essentially immobile in a fairly small location for two episodes I wasn't bored by what was going on and a lot of that is due to the inventive cinematography.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders - Episode 41
I dunno, I felt the pacing was a bit off in this one. Too much time wasted repeating lines and Joesph being a bad backseat gamer and what not. He was right to call out Jotaro but it went on for way too long. I also find it weird he never called him out on the fact that Jorato said Joesph should not play because he's never videogamed............
Also, considering this is supposed to be 1987, these games are a "little" too advanced for their time
Also the way Kakyoin lost reeks of bullshit........or at least it did til the implications of the end of this episode. At the very start though, before those "revelations", it did seem pretty fucking stupid though
*shrug*
Better than "Iced" from the English Dub of the OVAs
I felt in this episode, and some others in the past as well, that the proportions seemed off sometimes. Like sometimes Joesph's hands seemed way to small for his body. Did you not notice it this episode or just disagree?

Eh, I feel like that happens more often than not. Probably the result of an enemy stand.
That's the best part of this fight, it's hilarious.

Wrong thread dood!
? I know its not explicitly related to the anime but I figured people here would be interested in the JoJo game.

That specific trailer doesn't look to have any spoilers for anime watchers so I think it's okay for the thread.
The game itself sure as hell will though.

Oh yeah, it will have tons of them, just like the PS3 game.

Jotaro is the most boring character in the entirety of JBA. Gary Stue as fuck. Literally every other member of the crew in this series is more interesting except Kakyoin, who is a perpetual jobber with no character development. Show would be more interesting if it was the adventures of Joseph, Polnareff, Avdol and Iggy. Joseph losing to D'Arby the Elder was some bullshit.
EDIT: ugh late night posting cant spell for shit

Only if you miss the part where the next episode isn't called "D'arby the Player part 3."
Stop.
Writing.
It.
Jotaru.
Jotaro, Joutarou or even Johtaroh for all I care, but not Jotaru. Your spelling is wrong.
I don't think you know what a Gary Stu is, because it certainly isn't Jotaro. And Jotaro is a great protagonist, I don't know how anyone could think otherwise after the D'arby fights. Bluffing a win against a pro poker player/cheater with quick reflexes and sheer attitude.

It was the perfect fight for Joseph to shine again (it was a battle of wits), but no, they had to put Jotaro in the spotlight. Again.
(still like the fight, though)

Well, Jotaro IS the protagonist of Part 3. Seems most people forget that just because he has a supporting crew.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
It's sorta like that from what I heard
which is why Part 3 isn't really one of the best Jojos
It doesn't matter what piece the of fiction, whenever there is an ensemble cast with a designated "leader", nobody likes it when the supporting cast "jobs" so that the main protagonist can look cool/cooler. Admittedly, juggling a large cast to ensure that they all get good screentime is very hard but if you fail, people will rightly critique you on it.

I have no problem with Jotaro getting the most screen time, but him and Polnareff are basically the only people that do anything. I think Polnareff alone equals the amount of wins between Kakyoin, Joseph, Avdol and Iggy combined. Luckily Araki utilizes his casts better in every part after.
The jobbing certainly doesn't stop after part 3 though.

I got my mom into Jojo and its fucking hilarious. She thinks the designs are cool, but she absolutely hates the "to be continued" so I promised not to show her anymore until the season is over.
I really like this idea! I can totally imagine Jotaro saying something like "I'll kick your ass quickly so we can deal with Dio" and then getting his shit pushed in so that Kakyoin can finally not job.

That was the same name used in All-Star Battle. My guess is any names used in that game, which were approved by the author of Jojo, transferred over to the anime.
Also, one could argue the reference is sort of kept because Cool (as) Ice was a movie starring....Vanilla Ice.
