should be right, I think

Quoting this for the new page.
 
...and no ending this week either. God damn it.

On the bright side it looks like this episode actually had animation hopefully meaning they got a larger budget.
 
I still think Joseph's stand is kind of hysterical in how he has to use it.

The first stand battle was awesome, though. Wasn't expecting them to make it good.
 
They covered about 4 chapters in the first episode. That's pretty fast, but still not fast enough to do all the Stardust Crusaders in 26 episodes. I wonder if the series is 39 episodes long...
 
That was a pretty good first episode. Not really sure what to think about Crunchyroll typesetting the sound effects yet, but for the time being it's not too distracting.
 
The episode was good, but I'm not entirely sure what was up with the picture. It kept changing as time went by; kind of distracting.
 
There's no ending theme yet.

I had some problem streaming it on Crunchy Roll. It "froze" sometimes and to get it to continue I just had to skip a frame. Is this normal with simulcasts when it just got put online?

Also, can't wait for the next episode, but it's also hard to resist to spoil the story for myself. My university library has the the complete Stardust Crusaders arc in Japanese.
 
Just got finished with the episode. That one Stand fight seemed more animated than anything in Parts 1 or 2. It's like JoJo's Budgeted Adventure all of a sudden.
 
That extra animation they added compared to the first 2 parts makes a hell of a difference. Probably going to re-watch this ep multiple times today alone.
 
Holly is a lot hotter than I remember her in the manga.

Also for anyone who's interested, this episode covered chapters; 114, 115, 116 and 2/3 of the way through 117.
Not bad.
 
There's not much to say, honestly. We all know what's gonna happen: there's going to be people with weird superpowers, and they're going to get the shit punched out of them.

I'm mostly excited just to see specific scenes animated.
 
Not a lot of discussion about Part 3. Weird, I thought a new JoJo would get a lot of talk.

It aired while a lot of us here in the states are working. I personally can't see it till tonight. I imagine some people have similar issues. Also, some people are posting their impressions in the Jojo community thread so the reactions are being fragmented.
 
Oh man, I'm so glad this show is back, and I'm happy I could resist reading further into the series before part 3 began.

Holly sure is an interesting woman and, at first glance, it sure seems that old Joseph got the short end of the stick when it comes to this Stand business, heh. New protag Jotaro sure is a jerk, but I like it. Definitely makes for a different kind of character than the two previous Joestars.
 
Holy fuck I love you Oldseph
Also never really thought about it but if Star Platinum has a 2 meter range how was he pulling all that stuff inside the jail cell

As someone once told me: Whenever a Stand is introduced it'll do random shit for the sake of Bizarreness.
 
I think it's off to a pretty good start so far. The action is pretty good, and in terms of direction and pace, I think it does quite a few things better than the OVA did for the same material. Of course, the comparison isn't going to be so tough for the first half of the series at least, since that was actually the second set of OVAs they made just for the sake of having the "complete" story animated. The best animation showcases were all in the first set of OVAs which covers the second half of the story. By the time it gets to that point, it would probably be better not to compare production values at all, lol.

I would be happy if the
final Jotaro/Dio fight
would look half as good.
 
That was a MUCH better adaption of the intro than the OVA. There it was going for a kinda horror vibe but it doesn't really fit with the goofiness of the cast, especially Joseph. I'm so excited for this now!
