I plan on watching Berserk and JoJo back to back on Fridays. This way, the high quality of the latter will wash away the disappointments of the former and I'll feel less like crucifying Berserk.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable OT What a Beautiful Duwang

In general, almost every stand would let you take over the world is used by a perfectly rational person.
Which is why every person in Jojo is bonkers insane.

As much as people dislike the new Berserk(myself included) especially in the OT, the one thing it has going for it is pretty decent sound design. His sword sounds exactly like what I would imagine a giant slab of metal hitting anything in its path, sounds like.
those dropped threads should be the first thing to get cut if they need time later. no harm since they won't go anywhere anyway.

Notorious Chinese to Japanese to English fan translation of Part 4 called Duwang because of the line "What a beautiful Duwang" when referring to Morioh
The setting of Part 4
if you like mistranslated names
One of the many horrible translations in the only english version of the manga that existed for a number of years. This image shows off a number of them:
The middle panel on the the bottom with okuyasu is the "translation" of one of the lines from this episode.

The new OP is great! Filled to burst with so many teasers and the song is good too.
I was just about to make a similar post. I am only now appreciating how much love the people making this have for the source material and how faithful of an adaption it is.
I have to say, I'm really loving the new OP especially the new visuals.
This cut is just gorgeous:

Yeah, that's the cut that stood out to me too. Soejima killing it with this OP as usual.

I think one of my favorite little quick lines in the fight is Okuyasu mentioning that Yukako would totally be useful because she'd go crazy trying to save Koichi and Koichi is all like "Yeah, she'd totally win with her hair! but I really don't want to see her"
She actually would, she'd probably be just like Josuke where she'd be blind with rage, making Heaven's Door useless.

That's if they don't stop at Part 6 (back in the Part 1 OP, they only had manga panels up to Jolyne). Hopefully they'll continue to Parts 7 & 8.
Also, is Rohan voiced by Cloud?

As much as I reaaally loved the flashback scene, I always felt its placement was a bit awkward. It would've been better had Koichi asked about the hair AFTER the rohan beatdown, instead of "But I didn't know Josuke, the same guy who turned someone into a fucking ROCK, got that mad. Oh whoops, forgot its his saviour's hair".

yeah Takahiro Sakurai is voicing rohan
i find it funny that i recognized him due to Smash Bros. 4 because Cloud is there with his JP voice.
Dat new shonen-as-hell OP. I don't even know who 99% of these new people are but all this teasing has got me hyped.
Episode was hilarious. I wish I could draw as quickly and accurately as Rohan (minus the spider licking and ass whooping). Josuke's backstory had me shook for a moment. I was like "Wait, just from what I know of Part 4 from social osmosis, I'm pretty sure there's no time to get into how Josuke traveled back in time and saved his own life," lol.

Love Josuke.

Most times; a character going into a berserker rage is treated as this dramatic thing but Josuke stomping around the room tossing furniture everywhere like he was reenacting that one scene from The Room was hilarious.
One of the best. Always laugh at the television throwing.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
WHY ROHAN WHY
Iirc, Koichi doesn't know about how the creepy Rock was made
Ah, I kept hearing Cloud through the two Rohan episodes (thanks to Smash 4 using Cloud's Japanese voice exclusively).
AMEN
Yup, David Production truly cares about JoJo. We should be blessed that they're the ones handling the franchise.
Thank fuck this franchise is being treated with respect, just look at what continues to happen with Berserk adaptions...
.Calling Joseph second Jojo is blasphemy!
And my favourite antagonist from part 2 is Kars for sure.
Also whoever recommended reading part 7 manga was a champ, it's so good.

I don't want to think about how bad it would feel if Jojo was given berserk treatment. I would imagine it would be just like the banned Jojo movie.

No, but every part has a timeskip. Part 4 takes place 10 years after part 3, for example.
Joseph returns in part 3, and he still does some stuff, just not as much as in part 2.

The finger pointing shot in the opening is from one of the volume covers
Which is also a reference to the cover to Pearl Jam's album Ten

Exactly. You can tell that the guys at David Production are having a grand ol' time adapting JoJo, so much so that I hope they don't stop at Part 6 (we need an adaptation of Steel Ball Run).
Fantastic episode with great animations and cuts. The timer moment in particular was amazing. This the first time we got a repeat of the previous episode events though, right?
The opening music is boring and generic for Jojo.

I thought his voice was familiar when Rohan first spoke, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Turns out it was because I've watched 10+(?) shows with him in it.

well then you don't watch enough anime then
I'm currently in the process of rectifying that.
There's a total of 8 JoJo parts with the 8th part still on going. Each part gets progressively crazier.

So I've watched the new OP a bunch of times now(purely because I love it) and without going into specifics I think I figured out what the deal is with the hand we saw in the opening of the first episode. I'll see soon enough if I'm right or not.
Pure speculation on my end:
No actual spoilers above unless I'm right by coincidence.
Edit: Oh, and don't tell me if I'm close or not, I don't want to know.
Pure speculation on my end:
The guy at the end of the OP had a wife/lover who died, the only thing that remained of her was her hand, now there's something with him and hands(thus the extreme amounts of hand imagery).
