Jojo's Bizarre Adventure |OT| Get back, Stand up

Jolyne is top tier Jojo. Joseph edges it out and maybe Josuke. Joseph has the advantage of showing up for more than one part.
Personally I like stands that seem sort of crappy but the user makes it useful. Like compared to Giorno's it sucks but ultimately it did more interesting things imo.

hahahaha that's great.
How did this never cross my mind? That makes a lot of sense.
I cannot wait for the show crowd to meet Gold Experience. A Stand with batshit powers that also clings suggestively to its Stand User = Fun times in animated form.

Oh god that's hilarious. I love how they rolled Jolyne's right into Jolyne's like, "you know Jotaro, you're pulling the same shit your dad did." Oddly enough Jotaro's so socially dead inside that he doesn't even realize this himself.
I'm pretty sure Episode 1 of Vento Aureo will end on Jotaro telling Koichi that Giorno is Dio's son, and the reactions to that'll be amazing.
The idea that Dio had children and that he's the new Jojo is crazy, the idea that Giorno is genetically Jonathan's son is even crazier, and that makes 15-year old Giorno Jotaro's great-great-granduncle is batshit insane.

I agree. He's my 3rd favorite Jojo but once I see all the whining about Joseph not being in the anime enough I start to reconsider. Odd thing for me to do but yeah.
Assuming they aren't spoiled with trailers and such. Though I guess many anime viewers didn't know Josuke was Jospeh's son.
Wow, I never realized before, but Shizuka's name is another kanji pun, you can read her name as "Jō". Making her "Jo Joestar".
The DiU trailers avoided revealing that Josuke's father was Joseph.

I mean Joseph has always been clever. I just don't think he lucked his way out of stuff as much in SDC as he did in BT. His SDC plans actually seemed pretty well laid out from what I remember.
Araki injects realism more often than you'd think, it's kind of strange.
Joseph becoming old and senile is what happens when you become as old as him. Cheating on his wife and being regretful about not being there for a son he never knew about is really realistic too.
And then there's Jolyne's story with her dad Jotaro, the hero of a previous part, divorcing her mom and being too awkward to be a dad to her.
Despite all the Vampire and Stand bullshit that goes on, that's all extremely mundane and real-life. It's a weird combination, and people don't expect it to happen with a straight shounen protagonist like Joseph.

It is interesting how he works in the mature elements of life into this whacky shounen series. Also helps that he doesn't seem to really push them aside.

There's an interview/note from Araki about how he designed Joseph in Part 2 to be a "typical Shonen Jump protagonist", which is interesting because he turns that on its head in 3 and 4 by showing that Joseph isn't one anymore.

This was disappointing to read
Not really. In Japanese, Jolyne says she looks like an "okama" (although I think Urban Dictionary is being quite charitable, there... "not always considered insulting, and drag performers will sometimes even use it in reference to themselves"... yeah, a bit like "nigger" *cough*).

Queer is definitely the best translation in this case. Okama is a catch all term for anyone that is LGBT (gay, crossdresser, transvestite, etc) and Jolyne is trying to use it as an insult.

I mean these are prisoners after all, I don't think them using insults is necessarily Araki approving of what they're saying.

I wasn't thinking that, exactly. I'm not at all far into Stone Ocean and I think Jolyne already is great, but seeing that just brought me down a little.
We're talking about Araki, the man who has made a living drawing men whose appearance and mannerisms challenge the expected social norms of masculinity. There's an almost 0% chance that Araki actually sympathizes with homophobic sentiments.
It's an ugly word, but Araki's probably not using it because he likes insulting the gay community. He's using it because he needs an insult and he thinks a vulgar-mouthed American would likely use it.

It's like saying Araki is a Nazi sympathizer because he created Stroheim.
Araki doesn't really care for political correctness (LIKE TRUMP????) but in the case of Jolyne it kind of actually works because Jotaro is a shit father and she got mixed up in some bad shit so this is a not inappropriate attitude to have.

Araki is also the one who brought Avdol literally back from the dead because people were crying about it just to kill him again later in a more anticlimatic way just to troll people
He writes how he wants, and no one
can tell him otherwise

Speaking of Avdol, I just started reading part 7 and I like how he added Camel Rider Avdol and then had him job to Gyro in a very anticlimactic way during the first stretch of the race. Dude was hyped up as the hottest thing this side of the Nile and then he crashes into some cacti lol.

Well, don't get me wrong LGBT-slurs popping up in manga do make me cringe a bit but there's sort of a twist here since usually the queer slur is aimed at men, and seeing women use it as an insult feels a bit odd honestly. Like they're teasing one another as opposed to it being a serious insult like a lot of hetero-men will take it.
Daaang, watching DiU as an anime ups the crazy factor tenfold.
I love the pop art style going on. It's so great. It's all so ridiculously cool looking and stylish all the time.
I can't wait for Vento Aureo and Stone Ocean. Wonder if they'll do Steel Ball Run or stop at Part 6.

I think they'll do Steel Ball Run but they'll completely need to change the way it's adapted since even before it got put into Ultra Jump the chapters were already significantly longer than previous parts.
I think the hour long OVA style could work, but we'd be waiting years for it to finish.

Steel Ball Run would be a massive production.
The OVA market is a little dubious. If David could handle it I wonder if a film series would work (although Jojo doesn't do well "compressed" in my opinion.)

Why did I think post reboot Jojo was toned down Jojo? Even though that sailor dude seems a bit whacky.
