Are we sure we're still in 2015 and didn't go back somehow

Cream's design, power, and introduction are handled perfectly. It looks menacing, kills Avdol when it's introduced and then goes on to kill off Iggy as well. Fucking brutal and I love it.
DVD box art
DVD and sub only.
I don't think the box art looks THAT bad, but I am bummed out about DVD-only. Really wish we were getting a Blu-ray version as another option.
Only JoJo could make this appear serious (and MENACING)
Wrong, Caesar and his bubbles are never menacing.

So for some reason (probably since it's been awhile since I've read part 3), I completely forgot about the Vanilla Ice "arc" in the manga and replaced it with the vastly inferior fight from the OVA.
The Vanilla Ice arc, right from the beginning, is actually a pretty damn good showcase of characterization and character development from Araki in a short amount of time. The biggest examples are Vanilla Ice's insane loyalty to DIO, which comes back to bite him in the ass not once but twice. The first time when he was fooled (heh) by Iggy's sand DIO statue.The second time culminates in his defeat, where he's killed by the sun, which wouldn't have even been a problem if he hadn't cut his head off.
And on the other side of the spectrum, with Avdol, Iggy and Polnareff. At the beginning they all agree to not help each other if either one of them gets into trouble, reasoning that they are there to defeat DIO. But Avdol defies this almost immediately, because that's just the kind of guy he is.
Iggy and Polnareff are just fucking HAMMERED by Ice for most of the fight, until the very end which culminates in Iggy having the chance to run away and save himself just like every other time. But this time he stays. Nearly beaten to death by Ice he still stays, protecting Polnareff until he dies of exhaustion.
It's actually kind of beautiful. Part 3 definitely has the best "death moments" of the franchise after Caesar.

Maybe they are going to animate Part 4.

give it to me PLEASE
Oh man, PLEASE let this be true.
Edit: I'm sure some of us know, but CR could've mentioned Sendai was the birthplace of Araki and therefore was the inspiration for Moriah, for those who were wondering why the tweets were considered teases.

Let's hope they keep the ASB voice cast this time.
I need a Part 4 anime NOW. I can't wait to see Josuke and friends mess around in anime style.
Very well said. To be honest the death moments are what make 3 my favorite part. Everyone who does die in this part sacrifices themselves for the good of the party and contributes something in the end. And I'm a sucker for stories like that. That's why I don't get the total disregard for Avdol's death in the anime thread.
the worst instances of characters dying is Part 5 IMO where Bruno has the only good death moment. Narancia and Abbacchio sort of just randomly die.

I hope every Jojo anime ends with a tease for the next series

Josuke and Okuyasu are such a great pair. Their old school bancho designs are so charming to me.
As mentioned, Sendai was the town where the mangaka was born, & he based the setting of Part 4 (Morioh) on it. To quote the Jojo wikia:
It's very likely they're going there for actual research on how to design the town for the anime version.

i cannot wait to see Josuke flip a motorcycle over a baby and punch a plate of spaghetti
i cannot wait for josuke to meet an alien and then immediately use him to swindle money from a mangaka
i cannot wait for the heartpounding action as a conceited manga artist struggles with crossing the street and playing rock paper scissors with a grade schooler

It's going to hurt when they show super old Joseph and his dead mind.
I love how that article claims those tweets are teasing a new series and then goes on to show that they actually aren't. Quality clickbait.

between having an illegitimate kid and going senile, part 4 isn't great to joseph
Although screw the haters, him saving invisi-baby was touching.
the thing is why is the official Jojo anime twitter taking vacation pics? If there is an individual running that account they should used their own twitter.
Because that's where the screenings were held (as well as Araki's hometown)?
Nothing particularly odd about an official Twitter account doing that, really.
That's true, but let's look on the bright side. Joseph has great taste in women as shown with Suzy Q and Tomoko, dude fathered Josuke who is the second best Jojo losing only to himself when he was younger, and he not only saved a baby by almost killing himself he goes on to adopt her as well even with the possibility of facing Suzy Q's wrath once more for another child suddenly appearing in their marriage.
Still the best Jojo.
Not condoning cheating, but I'm just saying. Also, somebody get Trussardi to give Joseph some water that he'll be good as new.

I've heard arguments that he was faking so Susie Q. wouldn't be mad and he would be able to get out of organizing his estate

Thinking about it, it would've been cool if Jotaro had brought Shizuka along in his attempt to break Jolyne out of prison. I mean, pretty sure invisibility would've been really useful.
She would have been pretty young still. Guess that's why she didn't go, or more likely that Araki completely forgot she existed.

Nefarious was already used, you can't use it again with another character!
