WTF @ this thread turning into Part wars. Man, WHO CARES?

Spoiler

Part 7 is the best part. You're all wrong.

 

[okayfrog]

I think we can all agree that either 2, 4, or 7 are acceptable answers for "best JoJo part" and that 5 or 3 are acceptable answers for "worst JoJo part".

 

[duckroll]

Please re-direct all general Jojo chatter or fanwank to the community thread. This thread is about the new TV series, if you don't want to talk about that, don't post in this thread. Thanks.

 

[Yonafunu]

You're right, sorry for turning this into ranking wars.

Now, I can't wait to see this season's OP. It's going to be so hype.

Now, I can't wait to see this season's OP. It's going to be so hype.

My only disappointment is that we most likely have to wait until next week to see it =.=

 

[Tizoc]

One day away from the airing of the episode!

Silly question but is Crunchyroll free to watch or do I gotta subscribe?

Subscribers get to watch immediately when episodes are up. Free members get the episodes a week later.

 

[metsallica]

WHOA, this is a CR simulcast?! Awesome. CR's probably my favorite monthly subscription at this point which is kind of shocking given how they started. Remarkable turnaround!

 

[Drencrom]

One day to go

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

The season of Iggy is almost upon us.

 

[Silky]

Is it safe to talk about

Spoiler

Hol Horse

I think I've read Stardust so much it's to the point where I think I could watch it without subs and still understand what's going on.

 

[dan2026]

I think if you want to talk about part 3+ you should do it in the jojo general.

People are funny about spoilers.

 

[Tizoc]

LOL, well that's not so bad I guess, will prob. give it a try with subscription, thanks for the info.

Honestly the sub is totally worth it. Higher quality, no ads, no delays - it doesn't take much viewing to make it worthwhile imo. I was resistant to paying a sub for an anime only streaming service but I haven't looked back in years. And I generally only have 2 simulcasts that I watch.

 

[metsallica]

I have 5 guest passes for JOJO fans that want to check out CR / watch the simulcast live! First 5 PMs get 'em, they provide 48 hours of premium access. You could marathon a show or two in that time if you're especially nuts! Which I'm sure you are! I've let about 60 of them expire at this point so I'm happy to share the love, though if you're new to the site you should just do the 14-day free trial. Don't be A REAL DIO BRANDO, lapsed / free members only please!

 

[jgminto]

Yeah I think I have some 2 day guest passes, I'll post em here when it airs.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Hoorah for the 3rd best Part! But the one with the best supporting cast!

 

[jgminto]

So excited to hear the OP as well, hope it's as badass/fabulous as the first two.

 

[Instro]

So excited for this and Mushishi.

 

[metsallica]

So excited for this and Mushishi.

OT, but I own all of Mushishi on DVD but have never watched it. I do this all the time, it's a horrible habit. Can I start S2 without watching the first? If I can, I guess a better question would be should I? I feel like watching the new season in HD week to week is way more likely than me sitting down to knock out a season on DVD.

You "could" because it's an episodic show but I'd say just watch the first season, I just marathoned it and it's fantastic.

Mushishi are mostly episodic, so you'll be fine/ It's like JoJo where you basically can jumped on any part without prior knowledge of the previous parts first

 

[Dio Brando]

One of my favorite arcs. Cant wait to watch it, and see Iggy animated like he deserves. Pretty hyped for the opening too. Already loved the title

 

[Tizoc]

Less than 12 hours to go!
Gonna hit the gym after work, finish up some Steam gaming then watch the ep. during dinner.

 

[SolarKnight]

So, the Japanese broadcast is in about 9:30 hours, right?

 

[Boss Doggie]

It's Araki's bday gift to me :3

 

[Gradivus]

Define not long, there are still 36 hours to go in that case :v

I made a mistake, thinking it was Friday at the time of writing that

So, the Japanese broadcast is in about 9:30 hours, right?

It's 5:15pm in Japan right now. So, If it's at 12:30am Sat morning (Japan time), only around 7 hours left as I post this.

 

[dan2026]

Today is the day. So damn excited!

Shame we'll have to wait for episode 2 for the OP.

 

[Beaniedude]

Woah. Why is it airing at midnight? Do they get any viewers that way?

 

[Tizoc]

Woah. Why is it airing at midnight? Do they get any viewers that way?

I believe so, Part 3 wouldn't be the first anime to air at such a late hour.
Main reason would have to be due the violent scenes that occur in the manga.

 

[Boss Doggie]

That and otaku hour

 

[SolarKnight]

Besides, while ratings are a good thing, I'm pretty sure they consider DVD/BR and merchandise sales more important.

 

[jgminto]

I wonder if that will mean the tv broadcast will be less censored?

 

[SolarKnight]

I wonder if that will mean the tv broadcast will be less censored?

It's the exact same timeslot as the first season so no

 

[jgminto]

Ah, didn't know that. I hope it's less censored anyway. It seems like the show isn't constant purple backgrounds like the first season so it'd be way more obvious.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

How much longer? HOW MUCH LONGER?!

 

[Tizoc]

How much longer? HOW MUCH LONGER?!

That long.
Do consider subscribing to Crunchyroll's Free Trial to watch the first 2 eps. along with the rest of the fellow GAFfers =D

 

[jgminto]

I have 5 two-day trials so I guess I'll post them in 15 minutes. So anyone who wants them make an account. I think you can also get a free month when you make an account iirc but you'll need to link a credit card.

 

[jgminto]

Here are codes, quote to see them.

If you can say which one of the five you took after you use it so other people will know, that would be cool. Now time to sleep and hopefully wake up to some awesome Jojo!

 

[Lirlond]

Man I am getting pretty hype for this.

One of my mates is being a total downer though, hopefully the first episode proves him wrong!

 

[duckroll]

The official site has preview pics of the first episode: http://jojo-animation.com/contents/story/01.html

Get ready!!!!

 

[DrFunk]

HYPE

Wonder if they'll use YES for the end theme again..

Picked up the last code on the list. Thank you so much!

 

[andymcc]

renewed my sub for crunchyroll.

now i wait. :O

 

[Tizoc]

Signed up for Curnchyroll's 2 week trials, but uh how do I make sure it won't charge me for a monthly subscription >_>;
I may buy a 1 year subscription so that at least my brother can catch up to the latest naruto episodes and one piece.

Also CR says 2 hours til the ep. airs but I'm sure they mean 2 and a half.
Gonna finish up a few things at home, hit the gym then be back to watch the first ep. by dinner time X3

 

[Leezard]

I took the free 30 day trial (you get it by clicking on the "We now support Vita" banner) as well. I might sub later depending on the experience. This will be great.

 

[Shard]

I hope Yesterday is still the ED.

Thanks guys! I'm going to try to watch them first I think. Life needs a pause button.

Still have some CR guest passes for those interested!
