2 things

1-I'd remove the link from your post for your own safety just in case.
2-I think the better scans are a work in progress but not exactly sure.

 

[Leezard]

Just a heads up, don't post any sites with scanlations.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

I started reading Jojo's a few weeks ago after getting the game. I love it. Part 4 is my current favorite

 

[RedQueensAce]

Thanks for the warning. Edited my prev. post. So I guess I'll tough it out on reading.

 

[SolarKnight]

Well, there IS one other option if you don't want to read bad quality scans :T

 

[RedQueensAce]

I would, but shit be pricey.

 

[SousedLouse]

I would, but shit be pricey.

Oh it doesn't seem so expensive to me.

I mean, you can live without a couple dozen chapters, right?

 

[SolarKnight]

Man they really need to do a reprint.

 

[Slamtastic]

Man they really need to do a full release of the series

but I'd settle for a reprint of part 3

 

[SolarKnight]

One step at a time my friend.

Edit: Speaking of full release...what would the chances of Viz releasing the omnibus versions of the series at a premium or something if we manage to annoy convince them with a lot of messages that we want Jojos? :V

 

[Slamtastic]

US releases of Jojo material are all up to Araki and his artistic vision versus United States copyright law.

The part 3 release that we're even talking out only came out because changes were made, anyway.

I make sure to tell VIZ that I want them to liscense the anime whenever they put out a survey, so I'm doing my part.

 

[Reknoc]

Thought I'd check the price of volumes on Amazon UK, pretty much the same though. a fiver for what the have in stock and then something insane like £100 for the odd volume.

On the bright side it reminded me that I hadn't got around to buying Rohan at the Louvre, so I've went and fixed that.

 

[Card Boy]

Well, there IS one other option if you don't want to read bad quality scans :T

When it comes to Jojos doing the wrong thing is the only choice.

 

[TokiDoki]

So now that JJBA is out , is there any news about Stardust Crusader by David Production ?

 

[Tizoc]

Oh come on Araki-

Is that supposed to be Ceasar's headband?

Maybe we'll learn something once the last BluRay/DVD of Part 2 gets released?

Am I the only person here who owns all of VIZ's Part 3 translation?

I started collecting it when they started releasing them back in 2005.

I wasn't into Jojo back then, and now that I am they're impossible to find here and Amazon's international shipping are too bs for me to order them :|

I did somehow manage to obtain the actual Japanes vol5 (end PB/start BT)from my comic book store so at least there's that.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What if the Jojo characters were in Avatar TLA?

 

[SolarKnight]

What do you mean what if

Ep. 2 of JoJo Part 1 abridged.
Seems Speedwagon has the voice of that old guy from Regular Show lol.

...and goddamn if this isn't proof that Speedwagon is as hotblooded as they come!

 

[jgminto]

fuck yeah!

As late as last year you could still get a complete set via Amazon (though I had to get two volumes used). That's how I got my set.

Will buy digital to support.

 

[Tizoc]

A couple of questions-
1- What manga series have Viz released recently?
2- How are these digital mangas read? Do they have their own unique program?

 

[SolarKnight]

They have their own iOS/Android/browser app. Although the only thing you need to know about it is "are you from the US or Canada? No? Fuck you then, no mangas for you."

[Urban Scholar]

Well speak of the devil

Is this live yet? Plus how much $$$ would I have to sacrifice to Dio?

 

[SolarKnight]

Not yet, and judging from their other releases, $5.

Ahh ok I just hit up the site $5 a volume, part 3 spans 16 volumes? So $ 80 USD? I kinda hope they'll have a sale but otherwise I'm good with that.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What do you mean what if

Bahahahah!

So the secret of Spin is Up + A... or was it Down + B?

 

[Jocchan]

Oh come on Araki-

Is that supposed to be Ceasar's headband?

For some reason, he keeps giving it to Jonathan in every modern depiction of him.
He also gave young Joseph motorcycle glasses, but at least he actually wore those once.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Hey Araki, four characters from your world suddenly went into Pokemon for some odd reason

 

[Tizoc]

...Who?

 

[Boss Doggie]

...Who?

Team Flare scientist ladies looked like they came from Jojo is all am sayin'

 

[Reknoc]

Rohan at the Lourve is really good. Decided to read the other ones I could find, the yokai one was cool but the Gucci one was pretty naff.

 

[Tizoc]

Any word on the new JoJoLion chapter?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I'm a little over 1/4th of the way into Part 5, now. Araki's art improves so much that it's ridiculous. His stuff for Steel Ball Run and JoJolion is some of the best artwork I've seen.

Parts 3 and 4 couldn't be more thematically different - Part 3 was a grand adventure and you know who the villain is right off the bat, and Part 4 all took place in the same town and was all about figuring out who the real villain is. I got big Persona 4 vibes from Part 4, actually. It even had its own Brosuke character.

Part 5 is interesting, and I love the character design in this part. A boy band mafia? Sure, why not! The stands keep getting progressively more complicated and creative, too. Giorno's hair is a bit annoying, though. He looked much better with normal black hair. I really like Araki's idea of making Dio's son both a JoJo and a protagonist.

 

[Lirlond]

Too bad the most interesting Jojo in theory is also the most boring...

 

[jgminto]

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=82045441&postcount=6500 crossposting from the fanart thread...

 

[Slamtastic]

Don't do that.

 

[jgminto]

haha. Those were in the top two rows of an image search for "Narancia"

 

[SolarKnight]

Burn it with a Crossfire Hurricane

 

[SolarKnight]

Double posting because of an important event.

And by important event I mean EP3 OF THE ABRIDGED SERIES IS OUT

Oh god the ending

 

[jgminto]

Was that a game grumps reference in there? Gross

 

[Beckx]

Vol 23 of SBR is amazing. Araki really mastered nuanced characters here.

 

[Reknoc]

oh no you di'nt

 

[Lirlond]

He's not even the protag, Bruno is. Giorno so zzzzz

 

[Reknoc]

oh you were talking about giorno and not the part... then yea i agree Giorno is a dull protag (yet still better than jotaro).
