I know I'm probably out of step with current spoiler ettiquette but IMO treating the bare fact of parentage for Josuke, GioGio or Jolyne as a spoiler is going too far. That's more the kind of thing that if someone doesn't want to know *anything* they need to exclude themselves.

Trying to dance around people who give too much of a shit about what a "spoiler" is too tiring and nonsensical since those people will get upset at anything.
Spoiler - Kira kills Fatty.
Not a spoiler - Josuke is Joseph's bastard son.
Spoiler - Kira's Stand is Killer Queen, which creates bombs.
Not a spoiler - Jotaro is a main character...meaning he obviously survived.
Spoiler - Killer Queen's ultimate ability is Another One Bites the Dust, which kills anyone who attempts to gain info on Kira and creates a time loop.
Not a spoiler - Josuke's Stand is Crazy Diamond, which allows him to "repair" things back to what they once were - along with Star Platinum-like strength.
Pretty simple for me.

Yeah I don't think Josuke's parentage is a spoiler at all, but there's still people who don't know for whatever reason even though it's been spelled out in most places regarding the anime.
I mean nearly all the major players are in that last key visual except for like Akira, Kira, Reimi and Shigechi plus the latter half's Stand mooks. It'd be an asshole thing to go shouting about the rooftops about everyone in that key visual, of course.

I'm sure emcee will be back in there. He was in both SC OTs. IIRC someone got temp banned for PMing someone Jojo's spoilers.

art's kinda rough but it's not like they don't know how to put together an image, i actually really dig the crazy diamond/killer queen one

Well, EoH is Pucci's fault no? Him getting a Dio harem and ignoring FF makes TOTAL sense when you think of it :U

FF
She looks cool as shit too
one of Araki's best design
come to think about it, Araki hasn't drawing cool women since SO, holy shit.
How good did Stone Ocean do in Japan? It seems like the least talked about series over there.
I believe it wasn't doing too hot and that's why Araki's editors wanting to end the series there.

That's a shame.
I feel for Araki though. He wanted Lisa Lisa to have a greater role in BT's story but Shueisha, apparently, wasn't having that. Then he does Stone Ocean and gets flak for not making Jolyne super model.

Well, that's Steel Ball Run.
It's definitely good, Johnny and Gyro are probably the best written and most complex leads in the entire franchise, and the rotating supporting cast was a great way to include interesting characters without them ending up overshadowed by the leads the way Parts 2 and 6 unfortunately did.
Still, it dragged a lot at times, and Valentine was a great villain marred by little personal conflict with the heroes until the very end, and
I kinda wish the race itself had more prominence, as by the end it was really only a setting to the story of cowboys finding Jesus.
Ultimately, though, it was pretty damn great. I think I'll wait awhile before I dive into JoJolion.

pulling in another Dio who has The World for no reason was the absolute worst way to end the series, and I have absolutely no idea why Araki chose to do so.

"He later died of a cold" is the most brutal line I've ever seen.

You are so so so so so so wrong. It is literally the best.
Yeah Johnny and Gyro are great. They definitely are the most down to earth protagonists in the series having actual issues that affect them throughout the story. I especially liked when Johnny had to make the choice of whether to keep the corpse part or save Gyro and you can tell how much he wanted that corpse piece.
As far as the ending I'm guessing he Araki had to add that last part since he ended it earlier than he was supposed and then had to make up some stuff to fill time? That's the only logical explanation I can come up with.
Dude nooo. That was the best fucking part. You think it's over and BAM! I lost my shit. His death was brutal too.

I think I'm still split on
tbh. Think a large part of that is because I really wanted Johnny to win then Diego just shows up, just shows up and says nah bro.
Also spoiler tags? We doin this?
Diego Za Warudo
Also spoiler tags? We doin this?

for the latter parts of SBR yeah, dunno why
that's why it's awesome
it's not about actually winning the race or achieving the goals you had when you started

I can't believe we live in a world where JJBA Part 4 has an anime. I still think it's a dream.

DIEGO with the World was the HYPEST shit. It was Araki crowning Johnny as a JoJo as far as I'm concerned.
I'm kinda split on Diego II. On the one hand, his appearance (well, not his appearance lol) was cool and came as a total surprise to me. On the other hand, the final showdown with Funny Valentine was so satisfying that returning the spotlight to Diego by that point just struck me as rather unnecessary, regardless of the entertainment factor.

Honestly, the ZA WARUDO Diego fight is best seen as an extension of the Valentine fight and as his last desperate move imo
and how it ends.
the only thing I really don't like about SBR is how after that everything wraps up in two pages. I would've preferred a longer wrapup, but it's a minor complaint.
need to re-read SBR again soon.

The final conversation between Valentine and Johnny is one of the best parts of the of the entire franchise.

Damn, I was considering re-reading Part 4 before the anime, but I might just do Part 7 now.
I don't know how that metaphor was able to simultaneously be incredibly poignant and incredibly stupid.
Valentine was a great villain. Not as good as Dio and Kira, but he ties with Kars.
According to the French simulcast site we're getting 39 episodes this year? That means Jojo's Fridays until the end of the year. There is a god. I'm going to guess that it's probably not going to be finished this year (39 seems like very little for Part 4, unless the pace is just absolutely lightning fast for some fights) that they'd take a break skipping winter 2017, and release the final cour in spring.
It just gets better and better.

Definitely my favorite part of the whole series.
Honestly I always disliked how Valentine fight ended, it felt very out of character.
Valentine had absolutely nothing to gain by trying to kill Johnny after Johnny said he wanted to believe in him, especially since they had made such a big deal about Valentine always keeping his promises.
Would had been better to have Johnny and Valentine come to terms with each other.
And then have DIO kill Valentine, would had been a better way to introduce him.
Also disliked that DIO ended up dead, just made his appearance feel cheap honestly.
Really like Josuke look there.

Why Josuke look like he about to drop the hottest rap album of the 90s
So apparently Viz Media will be doing a re-dub of Parts 1 & 2 in addition to doing the dubs for Parts 3 & 4.
Oh, & there will be a Blu-Ray release, as well.

Great news because that will get it more attention, but I don't think I could ever deal with the dub. Deadly Queen, gtfo
