it's probably the best written shounen in years. Bonus points for being the first Jump battle shounen good at writing women since Stone Ocean.

Cool since I need something to replace Hunter x Hunter. How's the anime?

 

[cntr]

The anime got kind of screwed over by getting only 13 episodes, so the pacing was kind of bad. Similar to SDC, but shorter. That's a big negative, because the pacing is one of the best parts of the manga. It's still good, though.

The anime covers about 22 chapters, so it's probably better to just read the manga first.

the manga thread's here if you want to give your impressions

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I don't think he was banking on nobody noticing, but rather that nobody cared because up to that point Anasui didn't even have any lines, let alone do anything.

She was just chilling on a ghost piano with Weather. I'm sure a lot of people probably forgot Ana was a woman at first.

 

[JadedWriter]

If you play on a ghost piano does it even make a sound? Man anime only people have no clue how weird this shit truly gets.

 

[cntr]

Emporio has a power where he can create "ghost replicas" of objects and rooms that have been destroyed, so he has a secret room that's the ghost of a room that burned down, and he uses a ghost computer that runs MSDOS (despite Stone Ocean happening in 2012), and so on.

So the ghost piano is like a real piano, it just happens to be a replica of a destroyed piano.

 

[SolarKnight]

Holy shit

I never knew Polnareff has Requiem in Heritage for the Future wtf

WHAT

Oh right that's a thing. IIRC the CPS3 fighter has a couple of nods to Vento Aureo in it since it was the most recent part at the time.

This is so hilariously creative. I wonder what came first this or Knov's ability to create rooms out of thin air and house things in them?

 

[cntr]

it's also called Burning Down The House, it's great

 

[JayEH]

So I finished D4C's introduction. Forgot how freaking confusing that whole sequence...still not entirely sure everything that occurred.

Spoiler

RIP Wekapipo

Should be finished my re read of SBR in a couple of days. Just as good as I remembered it.

 

[JadedWriter]

Dis sum good 80's shit.

 

[cntr]

the D4C introduction sequence was fantastic

 

[Monochromaticx]

Oda is incredibly passionate about his one piece. working on it since he was 16 iirc

 

[Erigu]

Araki's mentioned the Lisa Lisa thing (in a somewhat tabloid-y magazine)

Eureka isn't tabloid-y at all, really.

 

[SolarKnight]

I feel it necessary to mention he eats ghost chocolate, drinks ghost orange juice, and has a ghost computer with ghost internet access.

 

[cntr]

you know, Burning Down the House and Underworld are really similar powers

holy shit, that's right

Emporio has infinite free chocolate, orange juice, and internet

 

[Astral]

Yeah but he probably has dial-up.

Does he use it to watch ghost porn?

 

[cntr]

He's like 11 years old.

Yeah but he probably has dial-up.

He can wait a few years and get a ghost laptop and ghost broadband!

Too bad he can't get ghost Fios.

 

[Monochromaticx]

watches ghost in the shell, ghost busters and space ghost all day

 

[JadedWriter]

Don't forget Ghost Dad and Ghost Dog way of the Samurai.

 

[Thud]

Oda is incredibly passionate about his one piece. working on it since he was 16 iirc

He just likes those kinds of swimsuits.

I'm not judging.

 

[Salty Rice]

I dont know if it was mentioned before but the Great Days song references Part 5 and Bites the Dust.

It mentions a "golden spirit" that will light the way what is straight out of Part 5.

Also "with this gathered strength we can go even against time".

Great Days is like Chase. I liked it before but with the lyrics it gets still so much better.

 

[cntr]

That's probably a reference to "The Golden Heart of Morioh", though it might be a Part 5 reference too.

And they're going against Bite the Dust, right?

 

[JayEH]

oh man i forgot about bites the dust...after re reading the D4C intro I can't wait to see how confused I'll still be with bites the dust when it gets animated. I love when Araki does the main villain stand ability mystery like he did with DIO. Was kinda lame that Diavolo revealed it so early.

 

[Astral]

Yeah I think the golden spirit is a part 4 thing. It still makes me laugh that Kira got found out because he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

 

[Shmuppers]

Yeah but he probably has dial-up.

I finally got to your avatar, holy shit

 

[Boss Doggie]

Basically Josuke in Jojolion is Joseph + Kira (and possibly Jotaro?), Koichi is a girl, Yukako is a klutz, there are pillar stone men, and Okuyasu and Jotaro fused and became a maid

 

[Numb]

Always underestimate how fly and smooth Valentine can be since he starts as a short fatty

 

[JayEH]

Nah Gappy is Josuke+Jotaro+Kira. There's no joseph there so far.

Edit: well I guess the Joseph is there via Josefumi but personality wise Joseph isn't really present like the others.

 

[JadedWriter]

How hot is Yukako?

 

[Astral]

I finally got to your avatar, holy shit

The character introduction, the backstory, or the D4C battle? Either way, Hot Pants is love.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

How hot is Yukako?

Not bad. Little leggy.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

His name's even romanized as Josephmi in Chapter 52 of Jojolion.

 

[JadedWriter]

Bruh there ain't nothing wrong with long legs, I'm a leg man only stifled by my lack of verticality. I must admit it seems like after Part 3 Araki steps up his character design game considerably.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

JJL Yukako even has a similarly named stand, called Love-Love Deluxe or some shit.

Personally I want more Yasuho in my life, I liked reading her adventure with Tsurugi

Edit: anyone who appreciates the legs is my JoBro btw

 

[JayEH]

His name's even romanized as Josephmi in Chapter 52 of Jojolion.

:O

I'm still sad though we got the huge time skip and we didn't get the adventures of Joey Joestar who's blind or some shit.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

Imagine if part 9 had a JoJo who was already dead but his stand lets his soul live on in other people

It would be like Requiem but with consent

 

[SolarKnight]

His name's even romanized as Josephmi in Chapter 52 of Jojolion.

It's funny to me how it's the exact opposite of everyone writing Joseph in part 2 but the one actual romanization Araki made during it was Josef

 

[RubberLuffy]

Going back to Anasui, I'm glad Araki made him male because it led to numerous scenes of Anasui getting dunked on hard, constantly, thankfully. He's tied for Joshu as most deserving of getting dunked hard.

They are both perfect garbage boys and I love them

yup

eat shit, anasui

 

[Sibersk Esto]

 

[Numb]

can't even handle her being with family

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Screw Anasui. FF should've let that thirsty creepazoid die in the swamp where he belonged.

Seriously though, how much cooler would P6 have been had FF stuck around instead of Anasui (especially if FF used her as a host like he suggested; that would've actually been a pretty cool way to reintegrate Anasui's female design, come to think of it)? Stone Ocean is legendary (third-best part in my opinion) but I always felt like FF's early departure was one of its few weak points considering how well-developed and likable she is.

 

[JayEH]

Best part was jotaro denying the marriage proposal right before he died lmao. Jotaro's best burn.

 

[Sou Da]

boipucci

 

[Numb]

Does anyone even like Anasui?

Spoiler

they shouldn't

 

[Ezalc]

I do, I think Diver Down is neat.

 

[thelooseteeth]

Anasui is my favorite from part 6. Weather Report is a close second.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Who's the superior creep shitbag, Annasui or Joshuu (so far)?
