Probably more appropriate than it ever was for Berserk.
Kinda interesting how well this one works with no edits:

the only one that jumps out to me is the use of star finger in jotaro vs anubis

There's a couple extra scenes of the crew talking or walking around, some added Suzie Q/Holly scenes, most of extra scenes mesh really well so it's hard to notice

No? There may have been one or two but not "a lot."

they added sometimes but not that much
like they added Joseph trying to explain how camels are to the sun ep
They added very little to Sardust Crusaders, mostly just scenes to help with episode transitions when the chapter flow didn't fit well.
That scene was in the manga.

Yeah, there are plenty of added scenes and slight alterations made to the anime that are supposed to act as transitions and foreshadowing. You've got scenes showing off upcoming enemies, like how a generic bird sitting on Dio's shoulder is replaced by Pet Shop, a faint image of Za Warudo is shown floating besides Dio during an extension of one of his conversations with Enya, Wheel of Fortune's user is shown following the group, Geb decapitates a Speedwagon Foundation worker while he's spying on the Egyptian God Stand users, etc..
There are added scenes and alterations that exist to fill time and help with the franchise's continuity, too, like the scene in which Jotaro talks to Suzie Q. on the sub, the inclusion of the group photo, and the bit of dialogue where Joseph mentions Erina to Dio.

Diamond is Unbreakable 16
I might say this is one of the weaker episodes/arcs but it does a good job showing the difference between the last protagonist and our current one.
Jotaro is calm, cool and collected and hardly anything phases him, not even having his hand melted. He seemed more bothered by Josuke wanting to pick up some chicks then his body turning into an Akira monster.
Josuke is far quicker to panic but may be even better then Jotaro at formulating a plan on the fly. His Stand also allows him more leeway for creativity.
It's also always fun to see how an animal with a Stand works, relying less on thinking or planning and more on its raw instinct.

The censoring was as bad as expected. It was a bit funny that they blacked out Jotaro's injuries on the hill but then did away with the censoring when half his body turned to bubblegum. It didn't ruin the episode or anything, but when that fridge door opened, the impact just wasn't there.
Despite the numerous black blobs, I think the anime made this episode feel a little creepier than the manga did, thanks to its use of music to help establish the atmosphere. It helped create a better tone of tension.
Plus, JoJo bonding time is always great, so there's that.

It's a shame that Jotaro never talked this much during SDC.
I'm disappointed that "A rat?! Like Mickey Mouse?!" was cut. Quality felt a bit off at times during this episode, too.

"How could an arc about hunting rats be interesting?"
These were my initial thoughts when I first read the manga. But the tension, character development and general excitement made it one of my favorites. This episode was very important for Josuke since it further contrasted him from Jotaro, and highlighted a unique aspect of his character; he's a fighter, but he's also the medic. The people around him can get hurt, but Josuke can't afford to take lethal hits because he can't heal himself.
Jotaro too, is well used here. Part 4 job does a fantastic job of making use out of his abilities in a way where he doesn't overshadow Josuke, but he doesn't feel completely de-powered either.
My only complaint is that they cut out this incredible line:
lol

I'm reminded of this...interesting interview whenever this arc comes up.
I don't know why people are still upset that TV-aired episodes are censored. Unless they air on AT-X it will never not be censored on TV.It's always been that way, you guys just wait for the Blue-rays. We would have gotten more pink goo instead of black goo instead, wait until we don't see organs spilling out before we get really bitchy.
Lmao this reminds me of the video of the crazy girl who got to meet Araki and even had him design a Stand for her or something. The one obsessed with Jotaro, so much so that she wished Jotaro was real and treated her like trash. Araki's reaction was the best. Can't find the video right now though and I'm not sure if it has spoilers or not.

Some shots reminded me of The Boondocks season 3 artstyle
Is that the one where the girl dressed up as Jotaro and when she asked what Araki thought of her cosplay, he said it was a little embarrassing?

Sad Crazy Diamond is sad.
It's got spoilers in it. Also that's the person responsible for the vocals in the Gurren Lagann OPs.
That was Shoko Nakagawa, who anime fans may know for singing the Gurren Lagann OP and hosting Pokemon Sunday.
And yes, she was incredible thirsty for Jotaro.

I think this rat is the most worried I've seen Jotaro. Not even DIO was making him sweat this much.

He is so damn rusty now. Dio would have fucked him in this state.

DIO's dead so he's been doing more important things like having fun with dolphins and reading about animal behavior.
Also it wasn't mentioned, but the rat's Stand is named Ratt, after the hair metal band.
Still really cool to see.
Another really creepy episode, even with the censoring the gore was pretty shocking.
It's crazy to think as powerful as Jotaro is that this random rat could've killed him under the right circumstances.
Though I'd have thought with his time stop ability Jotaro could just shoot at the rat when things were frozen, surely he's trained himself to stop time for more than a couple of seconds by now?
Lol I forgot she dressed up as him. I don't blame her for being thirsty though. Jotaro is a hunk. If only he would lift again.
Ratt 1 and 2 right?
Reverend Funk
Comfy Penetration
so uh josuke fixed those meat cube farmers, right?
It's actually insanely strenuous for normal humans to stop time. DIO as a vampire had a far easier time.
More than a second is pretty much impossible for Jotaro.

Technically I think it's the first shared Stand, so both of them use Ratt. At least that's how the wiki has it.
I think I looked away at the time he says it, but they did leave in Josuke's line about how he'll fix them up, right? Because you can assume he did.
