If there was an anime that everyone on the GB staff could at least appreciate, it would probably be Jojo.
I agree. The music references, at the very least would

EVERYONE can appreciate JoJo. Mainly because it's hilarious, and mainly because the anime actually has good pacing for once.

I was just thinking the same thing while listening to the latest Laser Time. I think he'd be a great fit, but he seems like he really wants to flesh Laser Time out more rather than get another job right now. Which seemed kind of odd to me because the other guys didn't seem all too interested in doing that.

Jojo has the really specific problem of a lot of people going in thinking it's going to be one thing due to all the hype and descriptions, but it turns out it's really Dio.
The manga has 7 or 8 parts to it and is massive. The newest anime series, however, just started in late 2012 and currently has 32 episodes, with part 3 having just started a few weeks ago.
Tidus o'Neil?
just watched the first episode...not what i expected in the slightest
candy box clone, otherwise he would just be playing match three.
They need to lose hundreds of millions of dollars? It's a dumb idea unless they can mitigate dropping the Kinect. Which I haven't seen any evidence of being possible.

Jojo is one of those things that, at some point, you just kinda GET it. And by some point I mean as soon as Part 2 begins. From then on, it's like the best thing ever.

I need to hear more of Vincent Caravella's History of Anime.
Phantom Blood (Part 1) is weird, Part 2 is a bit more what you'd expect. Except there's no Dio. Instead you get WAMMU, KARS AND ESIDISI

I agree.
Jeff started to more or less like it in the end when playing Versus mode.
Also Brad is Dio.

Kind of reductionist from Patrick given that there is a lot of effort also going in creating video stuff and writting can also be cheap in quality.
I'm studing Literature in Collage in my country.
Note: I'm referring to his comparasion with Pizza vs Deep Dish, not the tumblr talking about coverage future (where I will disagree at points and agree in anothers )
I wouldn't really say part 1 is weird (I mean relatively; it is a "bizarre adventure", after all). Just watched episode 1 again and I remembered just how much I enjoyed it, at least as my first exposure to Jojo's.

Being both a writer and a video production guy, both are really hard but I think I obsess harder about every little thing wrong with my videos since it's way easier to go "FUCK IT NO ONE WILL NOTICE" when actually doing it but bite my nails over people noticing after rendering.

I mean it's weird in context of the rest of the series (or what I've seen so far). It's just as fabulous and structurally it's pretty similar, but it's got the Victorian setting and feels a bit more serious and what-not. That first episode in particular is basically "watch JoJo's life get completely ruined", it's a total bummer :lol
The best thing about Jojo is that it changes genre with every part. The image I posted sums it up pretty nicely.
can't wait to see what movie part 9 is

I obsess when written stuff in my native lenguage because I have problems (since kid) with a sound element that is represented in the written lenguage (accent and tilde).

Makes sense to me. A thin slice pizza is easier to eat and less of an effort for the consumer.
While a really good deep dish pizza you gotta sit down fully and experience it for a hour.

This is not necessary true in every video thing
Well, he didnt mention the deep dish being a Pizza... but again, not necessary true given that written stuff can also be made to be accesible to more people (not at the same level of a video or sound stuff, but there is also an accesibility issue in there).
I understand that video will get to more people but the comparasion with fast food is a little fallacious given actual individual efford.

Well, he did start off playing as Jonathan in arcade, wound up fighting Part 1 Dio and Zeppeli, and then decided to play Part 1 in story mode. From my experience, the Hamon users aren't that fun to use, and he unintentionally stuck himself with them for a good forty minutes or so.
He's talking about consumption, not the creation. He even mentions how work intensive videos are in the blog post.

Thats why I'm saying is kind of bad analogy. The fast food and dish stuff have another connotations beyond consumption and sales.
Yeah, that part drive it me nuts, but that is in Jeff side (even if that mode actually sucks) given that three times in the Dio Castle was a tip to him to change the mode/episode.

"MY casserole has layers one might say it is a deep dish..." He mentions thin slice pizza first I think you can make that assumption.
Also this is still on of my favorite gb talks

The anti-deep-dish sentiment on the Internet has gone too far. Patrick's apologist "it's a lasagna" rhetoric in particular is downright treasonous and I will not stand for it. Y'all need to get it through your thick skulls that just cause a pizza's got some heft don't mean it ain't a pizza. It eats like a pizza, it tastes like a pizza, and it does more to your body in one slice than most pizzas can do with a whole pie.
