There's an unconfirmed rumor out now that Jojo Pt3 will air in Spring 2014

AW HELLS YEAH! Kind of expected since this is when the reair will be concluding, but still excellent news.

and that they're doing their own casting for it independent of the Jojo All-Stars game, so the VA will be different and it'll be announced at Jump Festa in Dec.

AW HELLS NAW! D: I hope this rumour turns out to be complete bullshit, because the casting in ASB was great and CONSISTENCY IS IMPORTANT GAIS.

Ono Daisuke as Jotaro is amazing and should not be touched, but more importantly, changing the cast for Part 3 would greatly increase the chances that they'll change the cast for later Parts if and when they materialise, too. Which would mean no most-perfect-voices-imaginable for Josuke and his bro in Part 4, and no Miyukichi (complete with greatest ORAORAORA ever uttered) for Jolene in Part 6. AND THAT WOULD BE A CRIME.

The Jojo rumor I posted earlier about Stardust Crusaders being Spring 2014 has been confirmed by someone with the latest Ultra Jump: http://9gal.com/read.php?tid=417705

Tokyo MX will also be broadcasting compilation specials for Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency next year. The main focus for Stardust Crusaders will be the action in the Stand battles, so hopefully they actually have animation this time. Like how they went from Phantom Blood to Battle Tendency, there will also be a visual tone shift in Stardust Crusaders making it unique and different. They also mention wanting to do something "new" without ruining the established concept of Jojo.

Fuck, if this means the "new cast" rumour is confirmed I will hit something. Interesting how the actual confirmed leak doesn't mention anything about a complete cast renewal, though - maybe the initial leaker got the wrong end of the stick, and it's still possible that they'll be sticking to the ASB voices at least for the most part, with the cast announcement at Jump Festa just being a confirmation of what we already knew (and/or reveals for less major characters that didn't appear voiced in ASB...if there even are any of those?)

I WANT TO BELIEVE

 

[duckroll]

Nah they're definitely recasting.

If there's no Miyukichi when/if they get to Part 6 then I will be disappointed forever.

How did you get that? Wasnt it only available with the discs?




Well....fuck.

The OST appears to be a standalone 3-disc limited edition set, and the first pressing may be sold out (at least on CDJapan).

And yes, I hope a lot of what Bandai Ent. never released and/or finished is picked up in both anime and manga fronts.

 

[Mature]

I'll say, though- the show completely failed to engage me on a dramatic level. I found it rather hard to care for the characters, especially due to the obtuse storytelling and direction the show likes to use. But episode 10, directed by no other than Ohira himself, is a treat. I actually watched the series just to see that episode.

I'm sort of on the same page regarding the direction. I was hoping it might eventually level out a bit, but if pretty much stays the same, maybe I'll just skip to episode 10.

This movie any good?

pffffffff, so not only did they add more showings in the city, they are 3 weeks earlier and at a better location than the ones they first announced. Thanks, Aniplex.

Yes that was an extremely memorable part of the series. I wish it was so short. WIll you be reading the manga once finishing up the anime?

Most likely, probably.

Makoto got so much love for his birthday.

All that merchandise.

 

[firehawk12]

There's no unshitting that bed, so get ready for ten episodes of truly awful endgame with Mana being Cure Christ as she beatifically makes effort after selfless effort to save Regina from her sins. Expect to hear the phrases "torimodose", "ai no chikara", "todokeru", "mamoru", and "minna no egao" frequently.

Ideally, the final episode ends with King Jikochu killing everyone only for Sailor Moon to appear and kill him with her weakest attack.

Amazing. lol

 

[Dedication Through Light]

All that merchandise.

Hopefully my Free! section in my room will look like that too. (except with more Rin and Nagisa)

 

[Crocodile]

Nah they're definitely recasting.

What's the point? Saving money using cheaper VAs?

Tayutama 5-6
Entertaining, but still seems pretty mediocre. It seems like they are making all the heroines have some relation to the gods. It seems its switching between serious and silly each episode.

 

[Sonicbug]

So.. is Shiro's plan to

Spoiler

buy the guild hall building itself?

If that's his plan, that's amazing.

 

[duckroll]

What's the point? Saving money using cheaper VAs?

Because the anime is the anime and the game is the game? It's not like the anime staff had any input in the casting for the game, so I guess they don't want to be restricted to someone else's creative choices. They want to hold their own auditions and casting sessions to find a voice cast they're happy with for the show they're making. I don't see how it doesn't make sense.

It's no different from how lots of anime adaptations choose not to use the same cast as previous drama CDs for the same manga, or how FMA recast the entire supporting cast when they remade it, even though it was the same studio. The game didn't use the voice cast from the Jojo OVAs either.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

BlazBlue Episode 6: False World

Jin had excellent moments

Spoiler

though that moment when he was stabbed I was about to quit the anime even. How could they kill him off first? Fortunately, I guess the staff knew how great he is and decided to let us redo that part and avoid such a bad end. I did chuckle when they went by and it seemed a few of the characters knew memories had been altered from this shift.

Art can be pretty wonky, a few times Jin's face was rather drawn weirdly

Awesome news.

 

[jman2050]

Alright, time for Lolimonogatari final--

Dear DAISUKI.net users

Unfortunately, we have to inform you that the new episodes of our simulcast series (the pending VALVRAVE episode, today's Monogatari Series Second Season and Magi 2) have to be postponed due to system problems.
Once the problems have been fixed, we will announce it in our news.

 

[Caladrius]

Does anybody know where I could find the Jojo anime? I've had the urge to watch it.

Makoto got so much love for his birthday.

Do want.

 

[Pooya]

I was hoping they pull off a Ga Rei Zero with Fate/Stay Night, bad news

That's because Yes is the best.

This is quite promising. I really enjoyed Fate Zero.

Welp. At bare minimum, the new F/SN will be better than the Deen version.

Even as a fan of Deen, another studio could easily do a better job of it.

Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? is getting a TV anime. Directed by Hiroyuki Hashimoto at WHITE FOX, series composition by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu and character designs by Yousuke Okuda.

It's so off the rails that I just want it to keep getting more absurd. I want a "super" villain that is completely jank next; Spying on girls toilets, jaywalking, not paying his taxes, etc.

Well, I really don't like posting pre-screening spoilers, but since I'm part of the problem now and I've read them and I teased them in the thread, I guess I'll spill the beans for those who want to know. Anyone talking about them or replying/reacting to the spoilers should probably spoiler tag everything so those who aren't contaminated yet can ignore them if they want to.

Warning! Samurai Flamenco Episode 7 spoilers!

Spoiler

Apparently in the second half of the episode, it goes completely superhero with Samurai Flamenco teaming up with Goto when some guy transforms into a monster called Guillotine Gorilla. It's not a one-off either, since at the end of the episode they reveal King Torture - the leader of the evil organization behind it. The next few episodes will be about Tokusatsu monster dudes attacking Japan, and Samurai Flamenco and the Flamenco Girls have to team up and get real. Loooooooooool.

THIS SHOW IS APPARENTLY GOING IN THE EXACT OPPOSITE DIRECTION I THOUGHT IT WAS. I'm not sure whether I'm happy or sad.

Ono Daisuke as Jotaro is amazing and should not be touched, but more importantly, changing the cast for Part 3 would greatly increase the chances that they'll change the cast for later Parts if and when they materialise, too. Which would mean no most-perfect-voices-imaginable for Josuke and his bro in Part 4, and no Miyukichi (complete with greatest ORAORAORA ever uttered) for Jolene in Part 6. AND THAT WOULD BE A CRIME.

This is the real reason I'm worried about the recasting. In the chance that a Stone Ocean anime gets made, I want Miyukichi as Jolyne. Badly. While I haven't played ASB yet (waiting for the Western release), the videos I've seen of Jolyne show that she does an amazing job as her.

Me too, Marie

Nice episode. Aside from the economy stuff at the beginning, they finally cut down on the info dumps, we're moving forward more again. It was nice to see a focus on all the characters working on a goal, but one that doesn't involve adventuring.

Spoiler

I hope Shiroe's plan is to buy all of Akihabara.

Also, is this another character I don't recognize or do they show Akatsuki's real self in the OP?

Yeah it's not exactly what I was expecting either, but I think the show has done a really good job of shifting from the mundane into the insane. The character interactions and motivations still feel very down to Earth, but everything they actually end up doing is more and more over the top, and indicative of mental shortcomings. It's a really interesting show, lol.

Yeah, it's definitely got an interesting dynamic on that front. It makes it almost play like a more exagerrated version of a standard superhero story, pointing out the contrast between the masks and the people behind them.

From up on Poppy Hill

I was worried that a Ghibli film without any fantasy/adventure elements would be dull, especially given Goro's reputation, but the drama was genuinely engaging.

That clubhouse is a masterful example of investing a location with a sense of character and atmosphere.

I suppose this is is the best fauxcest anime ever made, if only by default.

Rather excited, although considering the tone, it does sound like it's a shift from how things are, but I'm still not sure how the entire episode plays out to even say that.
