excellent

 

[RubberLuffy]

Some of the Persona 1 and 2 Personas definitely have a humanoid Stand inspiration mixed with mythology going on. And Persona Q's promo material just has the P4 cast doing JoJo poses, so Atlus isn't even pretending there's no connection.

Everything is made better with Lotus Juice.

Persona 1 was a coincidence, but they embraced the Jojo after Stardust Crusaders got big.

Eh, Part 5 was a year old when Persona 1 came out. So SDC was well over before Persona 1 development probably even started.

 

[cntr]

hmmm, got my timing wrong then

 

[Squishy3]

Oh yeah, so the mystery of who Coda is finally got resolved.

Kazuso Oda, being a founding member of the band No Regret Life. Only anime related thing that he'd done before Bloody Stream was the band doing an ED for Naruto.

Which is why Battle Tendency OST is still the best. Based Taki Iwasaki & Lotus Juice.

Was this ever used in the show? I'm surprised Juice wasn't used for one of The Stand OP's.

The Battle Tendency music was great during the show, but god damn when you listen to the actual OST it feels like it was very misused in that it could've been even better.

 

[RubberLuffy]

Well, Iwasaki was pissed over it being under and misused and threatened to never do an OST again. Pretty sure he did Gatchaman Crowds like the following season, so I guess he got over it.

Iggy went down like the smug champ we know.

Watched the 1993 OVA for the first time recently and oh man

 

[CornBurrito]

It is a shame how fucking dull the color palette is for the OVA

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

It is a shame how fucking dull the color palette is for the OVA

Thats how I feel. The OVA is insanely well produced and animated but I feel like it fails as a JoJo product. Don't like the character designs. Don't like the voice acting. Don't like the style beyond being well made. David Pro's Stardust Crusaders is pretty much the opposite.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

The vanilla ice encounter in the ova is definitely way worse

Ditto on these. I like how certain elements are portrayed, particularly The World, but it generally just felt like a whole different product from what I read from the manga, and that's not exclusive to plot changes.

I think it's still interesting to watch though, particularly because of the animation and general direction while pretty damn different.

Yeah. You can see why the kibosh was put on the Phantom Blood movie, although the color palette feels way more JoJo than the OVA.

This is the longest footage of it available anywhere, as far as I know.

And then this was the trailer.

 

[RubberLuffy]

Speedwagon wasn't even in the PB movie, which I think is actually a literal crime? If not, it should be.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Speedwagon was in the movie, apparently, but he gets defeated in Ogre Street and is never seen or heard of again.

Or at least the Jojo wikia thinks so.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Phantom Blood movie was never released on DVD or blu-ray because of the universally negative reception so we might never see it, which kinda sucks from a fanboy point of view.

I'm was surprised about the PB TV series' announcement because of that

 

[cntr]

Araki himself banned the movie from rebroadcast.

A non canon JoJo team up against Dio and the pillar men is my dream

Only instrumental.

They used the lyrics version when they first show Joseph using Hamon as a kid in the plane. That's the only time.

[PK Gaming]

Persona 1 was a coincidence, but they embraced the Jojo after Stardust Crusaders got big.

The Persona mechanics in P1 were definitely loosely inspired by SC. They share the tarot card motif and the Protagonist's Persona was basically Star Platinum

After saving Santa Claus, he uses his Stand 「Jingle Bell Rock」, and the JoJos are able to defeat DIO and save Christmas.

I just really want to hear a japanese Santa say "Jingle Bell Rock"
