I cant help but think that Araki's art has become a parody of itself.

Its always been a parody of itself to be honest...

I'm just sad we don't see the art change over the course of a part nearly as much. Part 4 is so interesting to watch the art go from weird to the best to fabulous.

This has likely been posted before but:

 

[dan2026]

Part 4 was where Araki was at his pinnacle. Both in art, story and characters.
We have never quite reached that height again. Although part 7 came close for me.

Well Araki has been doing this for nearly 30 years, his artstyle has improved so much I dont think he can improve any more than he already has.

 

[Erigu]

Agreed entirely.

His art style became fairly interesting at some point during Steel Ball Run. Didn't last very long though.
And unfortunately, I thought it was just the art style, personally...

 

[GKSilKamina]

Lookin'....uh...

I've liked most of the new covers so far....but this one...you could've just told me this is "20-something year old Norisuke, and he cut off his bubbles to try out a new look" and I would've believed you.

 

[dan2026]

Agreed entirely.

Its also why I am hyped as hell for a potential Part 4 anime.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Don't know why but part 4 didn't click that well for me. (My Rankings 7>2>6>4>3>5>8>1)

 

[jgminto]

Stone Ocean's style is better than Diamond is Unbreakable. SBR too.

 

[Tizoc]

When they get around to Stone Ocean then they better keep Annasui's first appearance as a female.

Then we can explain to the anime watchers that it was all the work of a neutral Stand (user).

Wait wat

So The Fool'll look metallic huh? I always liked its face, like it had those funky 80s/70s glasses.

Lookin'....uh...

I was JUST gonna post that XD

 

[Kai Dracon]

As far as art goes I really like the energetic bounciness of the inking in part 4. But personally I have to go with SBR as my overall favorite Araki art style.

 

[Astral]

His art style during parts 5 and 6 was my personal favorite.

 

[fertygo]

I like second half of part 3 and Stone ocean and SBR the most for Araki's art..

 

[Erigu]

Stone Ocean's style is better than Diamond is Unbreakable.

Can't stand it, personally.

 

[Boss Doggie]

For a moment, I thought Jolyne was a guy in that pic.

 

[fertygo]

For a moment, I thought Jolyne was a guy in that pic.

Jolyne does look like macho man at the end of SO.. I miss her round cutie face at early game ;__;

 

[Tizoc]

NOW IN COLOR!

 

[GKSilKamina]

It's truly beautiful.

 

[Diggeh]

Of all the JoJo moments to see in color, that...was not quite on the top of my list. *shudder*

 

[sjack]

Fear not, for Araki has improved his Jolyne:

 

[jgminto]

I thought Jolyne looked fine in the second half of Stone Ocean.

 

[sjack]

I thought Jolyne looked fine in the second half of Stone Ocean.

Honestly, so did I. It's only really the covers where she looks hideous:

 

[fertygo]

Fear not, for Araki has improved his Jolyne:

Yeah this is the best Jolyne's drawing out there.

I thought Jolyne looked fine in the second half of Stone Ocean.

It was, but I vastly prefer the first half look.

JJBATAS - PB Ep 4

 

[SolarKnight]

Oh my god the ending

 

[Ezalc]

I'll miss you Sean Connery.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh, no wonder Jotaro says ZA WARUDO in part 4 when stopping time. Apparently the stand has been then called Star Platinum The World.

 

[zedreamcast]

Yes but my father wasnt a racist drunk....well he wasnt racist....he haaaated chinese people.

That part made my sides leave the stratosphere.

Why is part 8 called Jojolion? Is that Josuke's real name?

 

[jgminto]

Why is part 8 called Jojolion? Is that Josuke's real name?

It sounds cool, there's probably not any other reason.

 

[javadoze]

Why is part 8 called Jojolion? Is that Josuke's real name?

Jojo + Evangelion = Jojolion

 

[Gazoinks]

Why is part 8 called Jojolion? Is that Josuke's real name?

Isn't it named after pygmalion? I thought I remembered hearing that a while back.

JJBATAS - PB Ep 4

The back and forth between Zeppelli and Dio was hilarious.
Also Speedwagon with the headphone cracked me up.

 

[HoopzBarkley]

Should I start parts 4,5,6? I keep hearing 7 and 8 are a little better.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Should I start parts 4,5,6? I keep hearing 7 and 8 are a little better.

Yes. Read them all.

 

[jgminto]

You can't skip any parts.

 

[HoopzBarkley]

Wasn't going to skip any just some friends kept saying to skip them, and that just sounded dumb. I've watched the first 3 parts then read them. I love it a lot.

 

[JohnDoe]

Part 6 is better than Part 1 and 3 and Part 4 is pretty popular on jojo-gaf, because it's pretty much the best part before Part 7. Part 5 is alright. Definitely read all of them.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Part 4 is popular EVERYWHERE, not just GAF. Whether it's the ironic charm of DUWANG (New Jojo fans do not know that pleasure/pain) or just the easy going fun nature of the part compared to previous parts people will always claim it's the best part.

Spoiler

I don't care much for it. Kira best antagonist though.

Ou-sen da gawd.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Needs to be edited so Dio is wearing ruby slippers.

 

[JayEH]

I'm only on Part 5 but it bothers me that pretty much after Part 2 that no Jojo is actually called Jojo. Jotaro was called Jojo for a bit, and Josuke was called it for literally a a page I think, and so far Giorno hasn't been called GioGio. For the other two cases a case can be made that the main character isn't called by a nickname since there's past characters involved but there doesn't seem to be an excuse for Giorno.

Probably cause GioGio isnt really something you would call someone. Like the only reason the game is called that cause its a clever way to call it jojos bizarre adventure.

Oh wow. I never realized GioGio kinda sounds like JoJo.

This has likely been posted before but:

In most cases, it looks like his art becomes better after he gets more comfortable drawing a character. Except for Jonathan, He just got ripped overnight

NOW IN COLOR!

That 『boner』 was the work of my 『stand』

I always loved the implications of that scene. That Dio kept moving him back for dramatic effect.
