The hamminess is fine. The actual narration standing in for something like 90% of the action is, however, is not great. The manga had it because the medium required it- Araki's art is usually great but with the shit that goes down in Jojo explanation is sometimes needed. Here, it's just a 'necessity' due to the budget, and annoying due to how much time speech takes versus text; hard to blame David Productions for it, but it's still a sad flaw on an otherwise pretty good adaption.
The downside to removing the endless narration, of course, is I'm not quite sure what Part 1 Speedwagon would even do. So it goes.
Oh, uh
Episode 13
Nice.

Without saying anything spoilery, let's just say that I'm sure this pic should speak for itself to anyone that's read Vento Aureo regarding that subject.

Which is probably why they removed Speedwagon in the Phantom Blood movie (that all of us who didn't see it at the theater in Japan at release are apparently never going to be able to...).

Steel Ball Run 1 comes out January 23rd in France but with 1 volume published every two months, it will take 42 months for the entire series to be published

That decision aside, the scraps of information from people who did see it suggests it might be for the best.

There are those first 16 minutes leaked online without any voices for anyone interested though.
Hey, at least that'll still be faster than it was reading it while it was still on going

Yeah I guess it's better than nothing, I can't imagine what's it like for English speakers, only Part 3 has been released in English, right?

At least we'll get the new edition of Stardust Crusaders, too.

With 0 SBR volumes being released every month in the UK, it will take ∞ for the entire series to be published.
Oh yeah, at first I thought I wouldn't go and rebuy them, but if I know I won't resist.
The J'ai Lu edition is good enough for me, but Tonkam books are so slick.
Sorry
I'm just very excited at new Jojo.SolarKnight

New edition as in reprints, or fixed versions, or what?
Fixed versions/reprints. Some Jojo parts have been published years ago but it did not age well + it's impossible to find them now.
But... Stone Ocean sells like 150 (!!!) units per volume so I'm afraid this new edition will bomb hard.
Jojo began being published in France by J'ai Lu editions in 2002 up from part 1 to part 4, thing is J'ai Lu editions aren't really specialized in manga so Jojo was pretty obscure and didn't sell.
So J'ai Lu stopped published Jojo at the end of part 4 and the manga went on a hiatus in 2005.
In 2007, Tonkam editions, a publisher specialized in manga, decided to take over and published Golden Wind and Stone Ocean. Part 1-4 are pretty much very hard to find now, so Tonkam decided to reprint Part 3, and maybe Part 1-2 if Part 3 sells well (not so sure but let's wait and see).
In any case I don't think there were major screw ups in the original publishing, it's just that they're impossible to find.
I just hope they manage to sell SBR, don't want to see Jojo go on another hiatus
Damn...I'm just glad they're continuing with SBR to be honest.No wonder some Stone Ocean volumes are so hard to find, they must have a limited fucking run.

Didn't they originally split up the volumes and for example made Phantom Blood 7 volumes rather than the 4.8 it is with the wrong covers in the wrong volume (vol 5's cover is now vol 1 for example) and color pages as new covers where needed or was that somewhere else? I remember reading about that.

Oh! I heard about that movie but had forgotten about it. Any descriptions or links about it,in any language? I'm really, really curious. What was so bad about it?

*checks Jojo wiki*
...wait, if there was no Tarkus and Bruford battle then what the hell ended up happening to Will?

No it's the normal publishing, the only difference is that volume 46 contains the final chapters of part 4 that are normally in volume 47 (since J'ai lu didn't intend to publish Golden Wind, they didn't want to finish the story on a cliffhanger, thank god)
waaaat, was this made by the same people who did the part 3 OAVs?

Straights? Araki would probably be offended, Wiki fanboys.

He can get in line after Mark Knopfler.
Besides, the character's name is "Straizo".

No, it's Straits.

Are you going to start using Eisidisi, Waamu and Kaaz next week? :T
It's "Esidisi", "Wamuu" and "Kars", you heathen!

I always thought Araki not wanting to release the Phantom Blood movie on DVD was due to his (reportedly) big ego or something.
But man, how can you remove SPEEDWAGON from JoJo? He's actually really important to the overall canon, his individual awesomeness aside.

That's the name of the band, not the name of the character.
Straizo was named after Dire Straits, just like Zeppeli was named after Led Zeppelin.

You know that Straizo is a phonetic translation, right? Not a literal one. People tend to not understand that about Japanese.
It's "ストレイツォ", so the Hepburn transliteration of that name would be "sutoreitso".
"Straizo" is the official alphabet spelling.

Localization is always superior to translation.
It's not a localization though, Straits is the reference behind the Straizo name, but it's not literally his name.
That has nothing to do with what we've been discussing. But go ahead and call Zeppeli "Zeppelin" if it makes you feel better!
No, just by the sound of it.. I don't think its straizo, which implying the moon rune spelling just phonetic, once again CMIIW
Not the shopped one with character sketches, I saw it side by side with kanji for the seiyuu name or something. Its should up in character introduction webpage after next week episode btw if we really curious about the spelling.
Well, it is. ^^;

So then how would you spell "straits" in Japanese?
"ストレイツ" / "sutoreitsu"
For the most part, I'd agree with you.
But I think the yelling monologues add to the zany charm of the whole experience.
It's like Japanese samurai yelling out their attacks, except the really long versions of them, that occur in this abstract temporal space, so that it may or may not have occurred.

Oh come now
King Crimson's ability is that it erases the perception of time and events/stuff you did-
