Pretty good. Not what I was expecting.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Still got to hurt like a bitch though

But does it hurt like a crazy bitch?

 

[Kthulhu]

Well...

[NightShift]

Off to a great start. Glad to see the quality is still there, I don't know why but I got a little concerned watching the trailers.

 

[Hero Prinny]

some cameos at the end of ep 1, is it me or does polineff make a cameo/easter egg at the end when they show the crowd? I'll go screen cap it, give me a second.

Scene was too good

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Budget looks like it was higher for this season.

 

[kewlmyc]

This was fun. If the whole season is set in one town, I'm going to have a lot of fun watching.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Someone already made a subbed version Duwang style ohgodwhyamiwatchingthis

 

[Hero Prinny]

k here it is, so yea, is it me or is that not polnareff?

now I've already read part 4 so if its not polnareff tell me in a pm and refresh my memory on who that is since we're not allowed to post any kind of spoilers here.

It's another character with a hightop hairstyle.

remove your spoiler bro, no spoilers for the manga allowed.

and OOOH i completely forgot about that dude! thanks for the refresher

To me it felt like David was being more visually interesting than just "lots of movement". Some great transitions and color changes.

Angelo having that red aura is a really good design decision. I wonder if they'll be unique for every antagonist.

 

[The Scollard]

Wow. Did not expect that opening. David Pro are a bunch of geniuses. I guess I'll do one of these posts per episode with my thoughts, since that's what everyone else seems to be doing.

Episode 1

Though I know the main plot points of the season, and how several of the stand fights ended (I had them spoiled for me), some of the scenes caught me off guard since I didn't know the way smaller details would play out. The scene with Jotaro stopping time was great, and I, like Jotaro, expected Josuke to react differently when he was told about his father. I liked how this episode mainly focused on Crazy Diamond's abilities, and introducing Josuke, Koichi, and his family. Overall, the 23 minutes seemed to just fly by. Can't wait for Ep 2.

 

[pauloshinobi]

Jotaro's career was foreshadowed in a scene from Stardust Crusaders where heis reading a magazine about marine life.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I love how none of the JoJo's personalities or interests ever seem to relate to their careers... at all. And they all have academic or business type jobs despite being ripped muscle men.

Punching a shark has led to Jotaro devoting his life to seeing how other forms of ocean life respond to Star Platinum punches.

 

[Lumination]

Great first episode. Loving the premise.

Did they really have to keep character assassinating Joseph though? =/

I am fairly certain that was added in the anime and wasn't in the manga, so its a nice touch

Feels pretty much in character for Joseph, he was always somewhat impulsive and doing pretty much did whatever he felt like doing.

They realized he was too awesome so they really had to bring him down a notch to make sure he didn't make subsequent protagonists look bad.

 

[Moaradin]

Na that was something Joseph would do.

this is literally what i tell my friends every time we talk about how shitty the mangaka made joeseph, especially with that trashy ass stand he gave him thats only use is to move around like spiderman

 

[XANDER CAGE]

This anime looks so good guys. I can't believe how incredible the colors are

 

[Neoxon]

Hermit Purple also conducts Hamon, which is good for extending his reach for Hamon-based attacks.

I mean if 20s Joseph had a sense of honor and justice, you'd think 60s Joseph would be even better.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

You are talking about a man who's ace in the hole technique was to run away.

 

[Boss Doggie]

the colors match the colored pages too

still it's hilarious to view it as though Morioh has some weird atmosphere that the skies look pink

 

[dani_dc]

You're talking about a man who peeped on his naked mom immediately after flirting with Suzie Q.

Funny how, this time, it's his ace in the hole that he ran away from

 

[Kurtofan]

Pretty good. Not what I was expecting.

you were expecting it to be bad?

 

[striferser]

Woah, the anime sure is something. Love the color and the introduction scene. David pro put so much reference to future arc, and i love it.

 

[cntr]

joseph dressed up as a woman to fool nazis, and thought it would work

 

[laaame]

He sure ran away from paying child support and taking any responsibility.

 

[cntr]

How do you know he wasn't paying it in secret? He is a business mogul.

maybe that's how they discovered it, since they were calculating the inheritance

 

[jgminto]

Joseph was never honourable, he was a hotheaded joker.

 

[Odrion]

So did Mario beat Special World between this season and the last?

 

[laaame]

How do you know he wasn't paying it in secret? He is a business mogul.

He's got his own business empire AND he's got that Speed Wagon money, so i'm sure he would be paying a lot more if he was. Josuke's family lives in a relatively small house so i'd be expecting his mom to be asking for a lot more hush money.
But even he is paying, it certainly doesn't look good that Josuke's never seen his father, as well as the fact that its most likely he made his new son while visiting his daughter in Japan lol.

Josuke's mom is still in love with Joseph.

that part's pretty shitty, yeah

 

[darkwing-buck]

This show is so fucking rad.

 

[M0nochromatic]

Well, they really went above and beyond. Everything looks like it'll shape up for a wonderful adaptation with some nice foreshadowing and amusing stand alternate names to mix it up. I can't wait to find out what the OP and EDs are next week.

 

[dani_dc]

Didn't Jotaro said this episode that Joseph didn't even know about Josuke existence until Jotaro started planning the inheritance?

 

[sprsk]

I love how hung up you guys on Joeseph having a secret love child.

 

[darkwing-buck]

For those who read the manga, is this show still gonna be monster of the week esque?

 

[M0nochromatic]

Well I assume readers were surprised when this was originally revealed back in *googles* ... uh ... 1992.

Yeah that's pretty much what this season is all about.

Far out, that's as old as me lol

 

[M0nochromatic]

Sort of. It's not a complete departure from Part 3's setup, but the writing and scenarios seem to find a nice groove that really does go to some neat places. It's high quality monster of the week, so to speak.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Sort of. It's not a complete departure from Part 3's setup, but to write it up as just monster of the week would be a disservice to the thought and effort put into the scenarios and characters, I think.

ahh ok thanks, really liking the tone in this more then Stardust Crusaders
