It's a good start but for me indeed there are way more issues than the mouth.
Someone needs to get around to fixing the emblems at some point. The face looks a lot better though.
Like others have said the whole reveal lasts about 2 seconds, I'm not worried.

FUCK this was a good episode. Pacing and music were on point, but it is a shame that the art was wonky in a few important places. Dunno if I can entirely blame it on the studio, since the key art was mostly spot on, but seeing all that build up to Killer Queen only for it to escalate into that wonky frame left me feeling like a deflated balloon.
Of all the art errors that they could show, they BETTER show distorted Kira arm
It's easier to miss in the manga. But just to put the anatomy in perspective for newer fans

Hey I found your new avatar/tattoo
Animator 1: This took a while, but it came out pretty good I think.
Animator 2: NAILED IT!
(I understand drawing those kinds of details in motion is hard 
)
)I'll be honest, I thought that dog at the start of the episode had no chance. Even after he seemingly got away scot-free, I still gave it 50/50 chances of surviving the episode.
I guess next week I'll find out what the's the deal with the hype for Kira.

He wanted to make sure that his significant other understood how warm that sandwich bread was.

Episode 21
The Chew-Chew train has come and gone, and it was glorious to see. I love how this arc focuses so much on Kira; he's basically the main character. You get to see his personality up close, along with all his quirks. It's fantastic. What I love about his character is the lengths he went through to get the bag before bringing out Killer Queen.
Speaking of which, the art sadly wasn't as good this episode. Hope it gets fixed, like Part 1 did, in the Blu-Rays. That being said, finally being able to see Killer Queen animated was great.
She keeps a Moet-et-Chandon, in a pretty cabinet...

ah, you're right, I was thinking his "other" tie.
yeah, that one!
I would think Kira stays as an anonymous serial killer for 15 year by not abusing his powers, but rather only using it when it's absolutely necessary.

Kira is really interesting because like a number of real life serial killers he has that inflated sense of superiority, desire for things to be orderly, etc, but what kind of sets him apart is his lack of desire to be famous. A good number of serial killers want to be known, either through their killings, the police hunting them, or their capture/trials. Kira however doesn't want fame. He wants a quiet, boring life that follows a routine. But look at how annoyed he gets over a fucking middle schooler. That facade starts to crack a little. He becomes angry, arrogant, more overtly threatening.
Go watch the Hannibal tv show and imagine Mads Mikkelsen with a Stand.

But he licks a decomposing hand and pokes a sandwich bag with it for like five minutes in public.

There's a time and a place for every kink, but not when an innocent idiot runs the risk of buying a sandwich with dead people germs and most likely Kira jizz all over it.
i spent about as much time as i'm willing to put into this but i think i fixed their art gaffe
i couldn't exactly get the head to line up perfectly
Holy shit.
Brilliant stuff.

Look, that's just the risk you take when you buy a sandwich.

Animator 2: NAILED IT!
Any respectable shop would have thrown that sandwich out anyways.
well that's a terrifying thought

Which really makes me wonder how long he's had his stand for. Was he born with it or did Keicho's dumb ass shoot him with an arrow? Does it accentuate his killing methods? I'm pretty sure none of these questions will be answered in this thread.

well, he probably is aware of his surrounding enough that he knows nobody's watching and there's no CCTV or what not.
For all the people that were complaining about where the plot was. There it is. You're welcome. Best stand and best villain in the series for me. Amazing reveal but I do agree that the actual pose and some other important scenes were messed up but will probably be cleaned up later.

Oh my god
To be fair it's a badly drawn shot of what should be the character's iconic pose. Also you've at least gotta admit the emblems look hilarious lol
While overall it's a shame that this episode suffer some animation quality issues here and there, this was supposed to be Killer's Queen big reveal, it was the one shot that really should had gotten a bigger attention to detail.
Ending the episode the hot before and leaving the reveal to the next episode would had been better call considering the quality of the drawing.
To be fair, the actual silhouetted cut looks amazing, it's when it switches to Shigechi's face and then back that it changes and switches to the low quality cut.
So all in all it's really just one cut that needs to be tidied up/redrawn.
You do realize this is Jojo, right? Iconic visuals are paramount. Scenes don't have to be well animated - after decades a good looking still is all a lot of us are asking for.
And for the most part Diamond is Unbreakable 2016 delivers. Never would I have expected that, after how amazing the rest of the adaptation has been, they could fuck Killer Queen's reveal up just by shoddy art in the face.
It's such an iconic visual that has been represented in toys, figures, videogames, and etc for years and years.
And the anime version looks like pink jerky.
It's quick and dirty two second shot. it's obvious the real reveal will be next week.
edit: what I mean is that they'll start next week with a recreation of the panel... focused and all.
they should have just ended on the silhouette this week, but they figured people might be upset at the teasing, I think that's what happened.
Yeah that's what I was trying to say lol but you put it more succinctly

Shit just got real. So, what's the official name of his stand? I heard him call it Kira Queen in Japanese.
I also expect to see the pose next week, I just don't understand why they decided to botch the reveal this week. Should had left it with the silhouette.
Killer Queen.

Do we know if the next episode will be outsourced ?

We don't know the staff for episode 22 yet. However, every episode between 15 and 21 has been outsourced except for 18.
(And a brief correction: the source I was looking at initially was incorrect, and episode 14 was not outsourced.)

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Yeah the characters were a bit off today, but I guess they're saving the stuff for next week.

Wouldn't Beerus as a stand be utterly fucking broken? Does this also mean Killer Queen break dances?
