I noticed that there have been previous animated JoJo's Bizarre Adventures back a few years ago.
From a few clips I seen, they looked well animated. What's different between them & this one now?

The OVAs from before covered Part 3, and not all of it. This anime is covering all of parts 1 and 2. Different content basically.
The old one is an OVA covering a small portion of the third story arc, Stardust Crusaders. By small, I mean a good 75% of the story is cut.
The new one starts from the very beginning of the story and is much more accurate to the manga, complete with Araki's onomatopoeia.

Those were OVAs based on part 3. They had a higher budget than this series, but they also changed the tone of the series and cut out a lot of stuff.

My god.
Tangent: I'm amazed at the lack of engrish in this show. Even the newspapers are properly written. Gives me hope for the subbed blu-rays.
I hope the second arc is as exciting as the first. I didn't care for Phantom Blood much when reading it for various reasons, but this adaptation did it some amazing justice. First blu-ray preordered. Probably going to end up at least with the first three.
The last couple of times I went to kinokuniya there was a huge JoJo display. Gotta avoid that place for a while...
They really should have saved themselves the time and money and just made the last two episodes of the OVA. The Jotaro/Dio battle is the only worthwhile part of it.

Eh, not exactly fair to compare an OVA to a weekly series in terms of animation.
I'd imagine the former had far more money and time to spend on each segment than David Production did.

Have you SEEN the art in the manga for arc 1? It starts off pretty bad. Just pretend it's being faithful to the source material.
The animation quality could be better in places, and the characters got squashed a few times, but the overall art direction is wonderful. The constantly changing colors is one of my favorite things about the show. It's not ugly at all.

Heh. Was the fire gif supposed to be an example of poor quality, though? That swag. I feel like I'm missing something. The lighting on his chest? D=

The fire is awful dawg. Actually pretty much all the non-character art in the show is minimal and ugly.
For the record, I love the show despite its continuous attempts to blind me.
Well, look at the fire itself for one.
That said, at this point pretty much everyone knows what's up so it feels redundant (at least for me) to complain about the lack of animation or anything else. It got better once they left the horrorhouse that was the mansion, anyways.

I think part 7 only by virtue of being switched to a monthly seinen magazine which is something like 4 chapters to a volume vs the weekly model of 9-10 per volume.

If you don't watch a lot of anime, which I imagine a lot of people in this thread don't, the fire and mansion will look fine. Hell, I have no problem with either.

Steel Ball Run, and likely Jojolion will end up being that too. Not because of the number of chapters, because in that case they'd lose, but because they became a monthly manga, so for the most part the chapters have double or triple the number of pages.
Phantom Blood 1987-1988 (5 vols)
Battle Tendency 1988-1989 (7 vol)
Stardust Crusaders 1989-1992 (16 vol)
Diamond is Unbreakable 1992-1996 (17 vols)
Golden Wind 1996-1999 (16 vols)
Stone Ocean 2000-2003 (17 vols)
Steel Ball Run 2004-2011 (24 vols)
Jojolion 2011-current

Love how intense everything is and how every battle with Dio feels like a final battle
composition is more important than fire animation here
it works for me, though of course it could have been better

This is the one aspect where I think David Production has on its hand over the 90s OVAs. The audio work in the show is incredible, all music, voice acting, and SFX.
Somebody asked why it was different, I just pointed to the Davids.Well, look at the fire itself for one.

I blame AnimeGAF for making me aware of stuff I wasn't before, like CGI cars and ugly backgrounds.

Because his father is a Kujo, his mother was the Joestar.
Well, (family line info/spoilers for Part 3)
Jotaro is the son of Joseph Joestar's daughter.

I should have expected it to be you the one who would understand me!
Without any major spoilers, it's Jotaro's mother that was a Joestar up until she married.

I feel stupid for not figuring this out when I read the jojo wikia.

Okay that mansion shot was pretty bad. The fire is passable... Since it became widespread to cg almost everything in anime, I think I've lowered my expectations a bit for scenery after seeing cg cars and horse carriages everywhere. Hell, I've been watching bebop lately and even there some of the ship shots stand out like a sore thumb.
Or maybe I've just been watching too much old gundam and aim for the ace. Watching lots of 70s shows does things to you...
We should have a yashigani thread one of these days, it'd be fun.

Almost everything mechanical is CG in a large majority of shows. Cars, robots, instruments... I've seen CG horses. CG crowds are common. It's become so common that almost every weekly show I've seen an episode of recently has something CG that doesn't really mesh with the rest of the show. It's rarer now that I see a show that doesn't have issues with it.
JoJo is pretty heavily stylized so the CG doesn't seem as out of place to me, except for the silly horse carriage (and the house decorations, now that they've been pointed out).
Edit: and it's not like CG is a bad thing, it's just something to get used to, that has its own ups and downs. Really old anime had wonky marker stuff, more reused footage, and also had some pretty bad animation quality and consistency issues at times. It's really just a consistency thing with me. I think studios will probably get more adept at merging CG with more traditional animation.
The character designs in that ova were horrible.

No mater how good Battle tendency may be, there's no way the 2nd OP will top the first.

You know the same CG studio is doing the new OP too right?
Even so, how could it get better? I just don't know.
Jazz, nazis, naked superhuman butts. I can probably think of a few more reasons too.
bad example.
