I REALLY don't remember the anime doing anything to fill in the coffin plot hole in either Phantom Blood or Stardust Crusaders.

No, the paradox of how can Dio ride his coffin to the surface in part 3, if Erina, baby Lisa Lisa, and fetal Jorge already used the coffin to survive part 1. I'm assuming that is the plot hole David Pro fixed involving a coffin. But how?

The fact that they given DIO's coffin a secret compartment at the bottom, which he hid in whilst Erina and the baby remained on the top one, was practically a cleaver way to recon that plot hole.

.

iirc, they didn't really do much beyond the hidden space but even that has a plot hole since there's no time for him to get in there when the explosion happens. also, even if he did hide there, nothing was stopping him from killing Erina since, even as just a head, he'd have enough power to kill her.
time stopping wouldn't fit here since Dio doesn't get that power until 100 years later.

i guess adhering to the manga too much killed chances of them changing that detail. they could have bad Erina escape in something else like a box or something but they'd have needed to change a lot and probably was too much trouble.

I kinda want Jotaro to hook up with Josuke's mom.

Maybe I am just a pervert or something, I don't know.

Given how she quickly paused at his package when looking Jotaro up and down, I think Josuke's mom would be all for that too.

How can this show already be this good on episode 3, what the fuck.

When they revealed his power I was almost screaming.

So do all the new stand users have those two spikey hair pieces in the back on their hair? Something I noticed, don't know though.
 
Fuck.

Watching this show as a manga reader must be amazing in its own way.

The Battle Tendency ending animation has a number of little things, like Hermit Purple vines, and Jotaro's weird hand designs from his hat in Part 3, plus some other symbols for parts 4-7.

Fuck.

Honestly I would just go ahead and read the manga. Jojo is one of those series that knowing what happens doesn't spoil the fun (in fact it enhances it).
 
DIU has been great so far. Maybe it's been a while, but I think these first three episodes have been more entertaining than most of the beginning episodes of Stardust Crusaders.

The Hand is stupidly OP. Is Okuyasu immune from its effects? I don't think I would have the courage to test it out on myself if I was him.

Almost every part has some weird consistent design quirk.

Part 3 had the stupid shoulder pads and now Part 4 has the two spikey hair ends. Wait until you see man-boob windows and sameface :p

guess im dumb but how did those flower pots fly at him when he didn't use the Hand's power?

It was the hand's power, it was just animated in a way that it made it look like it wasn't. One of those scenes in anime where time "freezes" until the exposition is given.

Great episode. I continue to love how David Pro is pulling this off. Loved how they represented The Hand.

I think the Manga did a better job with the flower pot part though.

Yeah, it was a very funny moment in the manga, it just comes out of nowhere, here the long animation part just makes it dull.
 
After watching last week's ending and today's side to side I came to the conclusion that last week the ending animation was just outright unfinished lol

Just an example. Hell I don't even think the color difference is an image quality issue.

The anime did add the part where he punches Josuke, then uses The Hand to grab and punch him again which was pretty great. In the manga, he just goes straight for the kill.

It might be possible they're adding to it over time

in part 2 they updated the ending almost after every other episode, they would just be full of spoilers otherwise.
 
I'm not even talking about adding or removing characters. They added a store where they had left only black before, changed the timing and spacing of the characters appearing, changed blocks' layouts by switching around buildings, added visual effects, added trees, added lamps, fixed animation errors...it's nothing about spoilers or like the Roundabout endings.
