Pro tip: if a character in the original scanlations swears, chances are it doesn't actually translate.

It's a more accurate translation. In the Japanese the manga and anime have the exact same lines. Josuke says "Ore da! Omoikkiri adorenorin ga pun pun shiten no ha yo~". Pun pun is used to describe strong smells, and it means to be in anger, so he is making a pun, not swearing.
So he's making a pun pun... pun?
That's a cool idea. Although not sure why they assume Avdol would be trilingual.

He's in his late 20s and a world traveler. Not that hard to believe he speaks English, Arabic and another language
A pun pun pun pun... classic.
Yeah the photography skill is fine, but he's a random super powerful ghost tricking even Jotaro... which brings me to another annoying thing about JoJo, the nerfed characters from past seasons, I love their additions, but they needed better justification for the power level nerfs.
Are you some sort of mind reading wizard? I was literally about to just make the same post. Anyways JoJo airing right after DBZ Kai should give it some good exposure.
Joseph got old and stopped training because his grandson can stop time and destroy everything.
Jotaro is a case of Araki probably figuring out that punching your way to a solution is boring.

Also, come to think of it, "Three Freeze" can only affect one thing at a time, right?
So how did Koichi hold the desk nurse at the mercy of four glass bottles?
Do they count as a single object because they're similar in form and function and were extremely close in proximity?
Stand bullshit. It just works.

I think the idea is more like Echoes can increase the gravity of a specific location if he doesn't need anything in it to be restrained.
The answer is likely "Araki" though let's be honest

So episode 1 of Phantom Blood aired on Toonami this morning.
My Facebook feed is full of posts asking what the hell they just watched.
Hoo boy.

And Phantom Blood isn't even strange yet.

I just got a friend (a frequent anime watcher) to watch Jojo a few days ago. She completely loved the first episode, and even I was surprised how much I liked it on a rewatch. But I don't think the episode is weird enough at all to question what I saw. Actually it's a really tight and amazingly paced episode setting up the conflict between Jonathan and Dio (who you love to hate) and it covers a lot. It felt like they packed a lot of content without it feeling rushed, even though the episode is standard length.
Then we started to marathon it, and her boyfriend after he got home thought it was fucking awesome too, even down to the opening and ending themes. Good shit.
I hope it takes off on Toonami.

Phantom Blood's first episode is strange... because it lacks strange things compared to most "shounen" series. There's some foreshadowing with the mask stuff, but during most of the episode's screentime it doesn't seem to set up any kind of super natural fighting series.

It all comes down to punching the frog.
You mean JoJo isn't a sports shonen about boxing?
Actually. I'm really surprised that it is finally just making its way to America. Hopefully people there like it.

Jotaro doesn't just punch his way through a solution. He's very analytical and methodical in his approach. Him beating the crap out of you by punching you a thousand times is the end result.
Oh god. That seals it. Roundabout will forever be known as "that ending song from JoJo." -_-
You expected that, but it was actually Dio's theme!
That's better than "That song from that "To Be Continued" meme"

Hey the man has very important dolphin related business to think about.

I'm surprised how much more patient Jotaro has become over time.
The sounds of dolphins will probably do that.

Eh, mainly just teenagers. Tomoko was all over him (under false circumstances) and he let her down gently.

These guys watch wrestling, they shouldn't have trouble with the plot smh.
I also told a girl I asked out last week to start watching it because she was looking for anime recomendations, but she said she's not into muscular men so the character designs put her off.

The sad thing is they're judging a 2012 anime by 2016 standards, when the source material is from the late 1980s.
It was way ahead of its time, and it still is in terms of the anime in many respects.
I just want them to stick it out until Battle Tendency to see it get amazing.
A fair amount of the Smash tournament players I hang with all love it though, so we've been talking about the Highway Star fight and agree it was dope.
Just tell them to skip around. I started with the Part 3 OVAs and the Capcom game and it didn't really ruin anything. I mean, it was odd when Joseph used hamon like that one time but the whole series is weird, seemingly random shit happen.
Just show her how fabulous the characters get.
That used to me be. lol I was super uninterested in the series for the longest due to the art style and character designs. It wasn't until I married a man who is super into JoJo that I gave it a chance. We watch Part 4 together every week now and I've been slowly working on catching up on the previous parts. Not my type of anime at first glance, but glad I gave it a chance in the end.
