Madhouse did a stint where they did a bunch of anime based on western properties.

Most notably a bunch of Marvel stuff (X-Men, Blade, Iron Man, Wolverine) and then they also did an anime adaptation of Supernatural.

This isn't from any of the Madhouse Marvel anime though; this is Disc Wars Avengers, which was animated by Toei.

I wonder if we could make "No Manga Spoilers!" gif using Kira's explosions. "Anyone who spoils the manga will be eliminated."

 

[Killer Queen]

Why hast thou done this Crunchyroll

 

[Hypron]

This episode was so. fucking. good.

Now time to go to bed it's 5am

 

[Finn of Ooo]

Animation seemed a bit off in portions of this episode. Specifically shots of jotaro looking down at Kira.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

SHEER HEART ATTACKO 24

Great episode. Really shows what a sadistic, neurotic, sociopathic piece of shit Kira is. The scene of him beating down on Koichi was uncomfortable.

This episode had my favorite Jotaro line with the watch. He tries so hard to be cool.

There were a bunch of animation directors, so it wasn't possible to enforce consistent art across this episode. Lots of great art too though.

 

[Demoli]

That was a great episode, Jotaro showing up again was just great. Always good eharing the superior Stardust ost again.

 

[Blackquill]

I waited for this episode all this week and godamn it was worth the wait

 

[CrazyDiamond]

Jesus Christ, say what you want about Jotaro but watching him take every arrogant evil motherfucker down a peg when they underestimate Star Platinum sheer physical power is so cathartic.

 

[Scavenger]

Kira: "Wipe yourself off. You're bleeding."

Let us take a moment to remember Kakyoin, who was turned into a donut by the nefarious Dio

rip in peace

Yeah, Kira done fucked up when he got within 3 meters of Jotaro. I knew it was coming but I still had the biggest grin on my face, it's so good.

Episode 24

Wow... that was a great episode. It was nice seeing Kira get what was coming to him, and though I knew it was coming, Aya's death and his escape still stung. There was a lot of great art this episode, and we finally got to Jotaro's great one-liners. It was fantastic.

Also, I liked the foreshadowing, with

Spoiler

Fungami and Enigma Boy

showing up in the crowd at the end. What a nice thing to put in there for manga readers. DP hitting it out of the park.

 

[Killer Queen]

Starting to see why DIU is so loved. Even Chase is growing on me. I can see this overtaking part 3 as my favorite. But yeah this definitely a slow burn and is better in retrospect.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Sweet Mother of Dio, THIS EPISODE...

I was legit scared that

Spoiler

Koichi was dead. It was so nerve-racking.

And when Jotaro got up, I almost fell out of my seat. That was hype.

Kira was outsmarted, out-gunned, and out-matched. By a brat and a half-dead marine biologist.
It's almost poetic that left-hand fetishist Yoshikage Kira's last resort was cutting off his own left hand.

 

[agentofatlas]

Man that Star platinum music still gets me hype. Jotaro is a like an anime Arnold Schwarzenegger. Complete with corny badass one liners lol.

 

[Immaculate]

it was all over the place yeah.

 

[The Scollard]

Also, rewatching the OP for this episode, I noticed that Echoes Act 3 is now beside Koichi during the last part, when all the Stand users are together before Josuke reaches out to Kira. I thought it was a cool addition.

 

[Professor Renegade]

I've literally been waiting months for Jotaro to say that line about breaking Kira's face. Never gets old.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Replace with Jotaro and Koichi

Wait until you see Steel Ball Run.

But yeah, this episode was LIT!!!!

R.I.P. Aya

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Thinking about it more, it's a shame that Aya's death had to get censored. It ended up losing some of the impact the manga version had. I like how the anime version gave Okuyasu another chance to use The Hand, though.

isnt stuff like that fixed in the uncensored bluerays/dvds?

 

[Fandangox]

THAT'S A NICE WATCH YOU GOT THERE

Holy fucking shit.

This episode was pure crack cocaine.

 

[Rushersauce]

Kiiiiiiraaaaaaaa.

Man, what an episode. Josuke is pretty fucking clever.

 

[silva1991]

It has been so long. Last episode I watched was 20.

where are we now?

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Not all the time. With the way this was shot, I think her death will stay the same in the bluray version, similar to how the scene with the senator running people (and Waldo) over was cut in the SDC adaptation.

This week's Duwang:

Look at your evil watch. it looks very interesting... But you don't need to worry about it anymore. But there is something more evil than that watch! IT'S YOUR FACE!

Shame it won't be so nice after I break it.

Break your face, that is.

 

[Shmuppers]

ugh I needed this

 

[Soriku]

+Koichi's monologuing and calling Kira an idiot
+Jotaro fucking Kira's shit up with Star Platinum
-Kira ultimately getting away

Amazing episode

 

[Sibersk Esto]

So basically what we learn about Kira this episode is

1. He's neurotic
2. Narcissitic
3. Possibly OCD?
4. He doesn't exactly enjoy killing, he just sees it the same way as an alcoholic or drug addict

 

[cntr]

He's narcissitic so he presents it like "ugh I can't resist these urges man" but he fully enjoys that shit, yo

Hes definitely Narcissistic and OCD, thats why he wouldnt remotely detonate the hand without properly 'breaking up' with it. He loves killing women and taking hands because it gets him off, and he has a pretty good routine by now.

Break your face, that is.

Should we post the pre and post-face breaking pages here so people can see how it looked in the manga?

Nice.

 

[cntr]

I still appreciate how Kira takes his time to fix Koichi's socks when he's about to blow him up.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Great episode. Jotaro had a cool moment, koichi had a cool stand off with kira and josuke was actually smart and didn't do the cliche heal the villain by accident trope.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Right, deep down he enjoys it but he's rationalized it like most serial killers.

I was going to post the Duwang panel but couldn't find it...

For those who care, Kohei Ashiya (the animation director for JoJo) did some art for Harley Quinn in the JoJo style.
