7 pages won't translate into 4 minutes, it'll probably be a minute. But it'll be dope. Like the beatdown Jotaro gave to Steely Dan but better

That's optimistic.
Based on my own observations - It (almost) always seems that Kars and Diavolo are the bottom two villains when folks rank the JoJo antagonists. I expect the anime adaptation will do Diavolo a world of good in helping his standing with readers.
Kars is a lost cause, though.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I remember thinking Diavolo was the gangster who helped Giorno out as a kid, that was never confirmed/deconfirmed but I still like to think that just because it gave Diavolo some much needed depth...
Beyond that the most interesting thing about him was his mother getting knocked up in an all-female prison...which I thought was gonna tie into Part 6 when I was a JoJo noob since I knew Part 6 took place in a prison.

I really like Part 5, and I wish so many people weren't so biased against it because of the Part 4/7 hivemind. I dunno how to describe how I feel about it in words but seeing it animated with (hopefully) good action key animators on board would do wonders.
I see a Part 5 anime premiering in October 2017. The Part 4 anime with no breaks will end on December 23rd, so I'm optimistic.

At the start of the season, I would have said no way. Then, last week, I got bored at work and tried to plot it out, and it suddenly didn't seem as impossible as I thought. My incredibly crude attempt at charting the season:
Episode 8-10: Yukako and Love Deluxe
Episode 11: Let's Go Eat Italian
Episode 12-14: RHCP
Episode 15: Picked Up Something Bad + Mangaka House 1
Episode 16: Mangaka's House 2
Episode 17: Let's Go Hunting
Episode 18: Rohan's Adventure
Episode 20-21: Shigechi's Harvest
Episode 22: Kira Wants a Quiet Life
Episode 23: Yukako and Cinderella
Episode 24-26: Sheer Heart Attack
Episode 27: Atom Heart Father
Episode 28: (Kira's New Life 1) RPS Kid is Coming
Episode 29: (Kira's New Life 2) I am an Alien
Episode 30-31: Highway Star (maybe the start of Cat Who Loved Kira at 31's end?)
Episode 32: The Cat Who Loved Kira condensed with Let's Live on a Tower
Episode 33: Enigma Boy/My Dad is Not My Dad
Episode 34: Cheap Trick
Episode 35-36: Another One Bites the Dust
Episode 37-39: (w/ Overlap from AOBTD) Crazy Diamond is Unbreakable
It's rough as fuck, I admit, and the numbers are far from perfect, but who knows?
I don't think they're going to ever be able to fit more than 1 fight in a single episode.
1 - Josuke meets Jotaro
2 - Josuke meets Angelo
3-5 - Nijimura Brothers
6 - Echoes
7 - Surface
8-9 - Yukako
10 - Tonio
11-12 - RHCP
13 - The Baby
14-15 - Rohan
16 - The Rat Hunt
17 - Rohan's Adventure
18-19 - Harvest
20 - Kira Wants A Quiet Life
21 - Cinderella Salon
22-24 - Sheer Heart Attack
25 - Atom Heart Father
26 - RPS Kid
27 - I Am An Alien
28-29 - Highway Star
30 - The Cat Who Loved Kira
31 - Superfly
32 - Enigma Boy
33 - Cheap Trick
34-35 - Bites the Dust
36-38 - The Unbreakable Crazy Diamond
39 - Goodbye Morioh
That's my guess.

I mean like assuming it translated to that amount of time they'd just have him do one mudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudamuda and then repeat that recording for as long as necessary.

Kars is a lost cause, though.
The most interesting thing about Diavolo is his split personality relationship with Doppio. Other than that, he's just not interesting. Even his backstory is kinda bland when compared to most of the other main antagonists. I'll probably end up liking him a bit more once VA is animated, though.
And we all know what happened the last time someone tried to improve Kars.
I was really down on part 5 for a while until after I read Purple Haze Feedback and I remembered how awesome the cast is. Part 5 actually has my two favorite stands in it as well. It does have a lot of problems of course: I would have liked to see Giorno maybe interact with Jotaro or learn more about Dio and I wish Diavolo wasn't so underused. I feel the anime will change a lot of people's opinions on it since we will have some proper translations and I think some things will come off better across animated.
Eyes of Heaven demo out in the US
You can play as Jotaro Kujo, Noriaki Kakyoin, Josuke Higashikata, and Okuyasu Nijimura. It's different from the JPN demo in that it has the first chapter of Story Mode. Also has a save data bonus for the full game, though don't know what.

I'm sad it's digital only, but I'll take what I can get! I wonder if the save data thing is the P4 Jotaro.
Cool I'll check it out. I hope this isn't full price if it is digital only.

The bonus is probably money like the demos for the JP version.
I'm hoping/expecting the same thing considering that's what they did for All-Star Battle. I don't even recall even hearing any confirmation on the whole "digital only in US" deal.
Ahh, good point. Not to mention that was the same bonus for the ASB demo here in the US.

I saw this earlier and thought maybe they added some stuff after the game launched, but nope. Just Part 4 Jotaro and the special battles they have that let you unlock costumes like crossdressing Joseph.
There were like 6-7 of those missions and they were pretty hard. You needed to get an S rank to unlock the costumes and the enemies were at pretty high levels. You could buy them in the store but they were ridiculously expensive. Talking $2,000,000 when every other costume was around $40,000. Or whatever the in-game currency is.

There were some extra missions as well (as RecRoulette pointed out). They don't show up on the Japanese store because they never were for sale, if I remember correctly: you had to use a code that was included with the first pressing.

That's a pretty common opinion to have, the pacing isn't as tight as part two's and the villain of the week formula suffers from having some very forgettable fights (something that is remedied in Diamond is Unbreakable, for the most part).
The second/Egypt half of Stardust Crusaders is better than the first half, so there's that to look forward to if you're not there yet.
I am episode 26 so you might be right.
You know, stand users are rare without the arrow. Pucci didn't have that arrow, but created a horde of stand user minions with Whitesnake, and has a big bag full of discs.
Pucci went on a world journey, beating up hundreds of stand users.
Pucci's Unusual Adventure, someone's gotta make that

do how does he haul that huge amount of CDs
does he have those cd packs they sell for ps1 games

Maybe some of them are the losers from Part 3. I could totally see Pucci traveling the world, hunting the Tarot and Egyptian God users who failed Dio-sama.
"Oingo and Boingo? Into the disc! Mariah? Into the disc!"
Trying the Eyes of Heaven demo out & how the hell do I get a higher rank for "Quality"??
At least you can have 2 S ranks, a D, & C, yet still end up with an overall S-rank at the end of battle, since rankings in Story Mode give you unlockables like more costumes, poses, & such.

Since the OP of part 4 only has characters up to Antonio and they are already in remix territory, I would be shocked if they don't have a new (probably CG) OP ready to go once Rohan gets involved.
Win really fast without getting hurt too much and win with a super attack or team attack. That's how you get the max rank.

ASB was bad, not surprised EoH sucks too. Didn't look fun to play at all.
At least it will have good fanservice.

EoH demo was kinda confusing, but I can live with it for the craziness of story mode and the oozing fanservice.
oh hell yes, cannot wait to see next week's episode of Part 4.
The more I watch, the more I'm reminded why I found this to be my favorite part.

can't wait for animated Highway Star, or Super Fly.

Super Fly...eh, but it does have Mikitaka. Highway Star definitely. Not only for it being one of the more interesting/creepy stands, but Josuke's Crazy Diamond improvisational skills are nothing short of impressive during that.
I played the EoH demo and, honestly, I would've just preferred All-Star Battle 2. The game feels like a bit of a mess, even if I'm still somewhat interested. If Amazon offers that DIO faceplate, I'll be in regardless, though.
... Huh. I'd watch that, honestly. Are we sure he didn't just linger in Morioh for a chunk of them, though? I mean, we don't hear much from the DU crew before the reset, right? And I don't think we see every stand in that bag, either. Granted, if he was there, though, you could almost guarantee he would've jumped at The Hand, and used it during his plan at some point, and in some way.

So it seems that a live-action Stardust Crusaders movie is gonna come out in 2018. Don't know just how legit this is yet, so I won't make a thread on it, but I thought it warrants at least a post on this thread.
Not sure how to feel about this, but I can't say I have much confidence in this idea.
