This show is moronically entertaining, lolz.

p.s.

wat. The low quality animation is becoming painful.

i don't know if the wat is for the sub or for the leg...
that's not a good thing

 

[fertygo]

They're saving the budget for Stardust Crusaders

Let hope they're changing studio for that

 

[EndcatOmega]

Let hope they're changing studio for that

I'd like to think it's just the budget- they've nailed almost everything else.

 

[Crash Station]

Let hope they're changing studio for that

If a part 3 does happen, it will be because they got enough money from part 1 and 2 sales. These guys have the talent to bring out Araki's style almost perfectly, so I would love to see them do part 3 with an actual budget.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Let hope they're changing studio for that

I hope not. Their budget is bad but they seemingly love the series and flood so much soul into this that I don't think any other studio can pull off.

 

[Drkirby]

The clackers were jarring. It went to a 3D model to a really poorly drawn version back to the 3D model again.

 

[fertygo]

Well, other of David Pro show have this slideshow tendency as well, to name such like. Inu x Boku SS, Level E.. I started to think its just their limitation, INB4 someone mention Ben-To, but even that isn't that high of standard.

I still love this show, and appreciate what David Pro doing with their limitation, but still.. JoJo deserve better.

Actually that limb is close to the source material. I'm not sure if it looked that in that specific manga panel but early Jojo's gave no fucks about human anatomy.

 

[Tizoc]

I also hope this gets an american english dub, its just so tedious to consistently consult various english dictionaries to understand some of the dialogue, like cor blimey, etc.

Err my earliest memories of that word is from Dragon Quest 8 and even then I didn't feel neessary to know what it means, even in this show >_>.

Don't watch the gg subs dtl. You might like the fashion art style that part 4 adopts more. Wham and acdc let Joseph live because they were bored. They didn't really care either way if he lived or died.

Also Joseph insulted Whams pride.

I like theirs more due to how stylized it is rather than just being a translation. The additional foriegn language ticks are a nice touch IMO.

gg's subs are quite awful, so I don't particularly mind.The names are the least of their problems.

They've been writing the names to be like the bands/music references, it was only in 14 that they used the official names...which I personally didn't mind.
What about their subbing don't you like if you don't mind me asking?

I think I just saw an episode with gg's subs and my god, they really ARE terrible. :lol

"don't be a culo!" :lol :lol

I was laughing the whole episode.

I just bothered to look up what it means, and its Italian for

Spoiler

an ass/asshole/bum/jerk as far as meaning goes so...

Also in 15 I think it was something like "You don't have a clue, Culo!"

 

[SolarKnight]

lol so the Italians say it the same way we do here?

From what I've seen it's unnecessary and annoying honestly.

Actually that limb is close to the source material. I'm not sure if it looked that in that specific manga panel but early Jojo's gave no fucks about human anatomy.

I just check and during that line you can't even see Caesar, so it's not the source material's fault here...Still damn accurate to it considering the art during that time though.

Man, he would go crazy if they managed to make Part 5.

Probably?

 

[Tizoc]

From what I've seen it's unnecessary and annoying honestly.

Well the JoJo series does overdo things for the sake of overdoing even if it was unnecessary =P
..but in all seriousness, it seems to come down to a matter of preference, and I've already wrote why I like that direction.
We're all still cool chums ya~

 

[Kurtofan]

What about their subbing don't you like if you don't mind me asking?

All the alliterations, the jokes, the old timey words or pop culture references etc...It's just not necessary, Jojo is already over the top, I don't think it needs more.

 

[Glass Rebel]

All those negatives you mention make it much more enjoyable for me. It fits the tone and time-period.

 

[Risette]

They're saving the budget for Stardust Crusaders

They should just skip Part 3 since the first OVA is likely impossible to beat. Some of the most talented people in the industry worked on it -- might as well just give up.

to people who are going to say agh blah incomplete adaptation: whatever it covers the important parts and is better for it

 

[Kurtofan]

It doesn't fit the original manga, which is what matters in the end.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I've already read the manga and it doesn't matter to me.

No Italian person would ever call someone else "culo".
Maybe "faccia da culo" (

Spoiler

assface

), or "stronzo" (

Spoiler

turd

, but it's actually used similarly to asshole in English), but not "culo".

to people who are going to say agh blah incomplete adaptation: whatever it covers the important parts and is better for it

Hell no. They skipped plenty of awesomeness, and only did the most popular parts.

I see thanks for clearing it up.
Also yeah the OVA was good, but who doesn't want to see Pet Shop get its clock cleaned by Iggy?

How can you say 'no' to more over the top JoJo?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah I was weirded out by Joseph's contortion in that part lol

The problem though, jumping straight to part 4 seem a terrible idea

Might as well straight to Vento Aureo.

While culo actually means ass the italian equivalent of "don't be an ass" is "non fare il coglione" where coglione is the single testicle
I can't wait for Vento Aureo where the first part takes place in my city :3
Araki in the manga drew some real places with incredible details.

Becoming?

Let hope they're changing studio for that

For all the complaints about the animation I do get the impression that David Production are trying their hardest to make the best show possible. Just throw more money at them instead of risking breaking something that works despite all its flaws.

 

[Somax]

I did a couple of double takes while watching ep. 15, when in the gg subs some random italian swearwords appeared.

Then I decided that I'll never use them again, since they pulled them, like they would like to say, from their culo.

Holy crap, I had no idea, that's amazing! I had no idea

[Crash Station]

I'm sorry, but they skipped 2 of the best fights in the franchise. No amount of good animation will make that acceptable.

 

[Somax]

This thread is quickly becoming an ItalyGAF topic in disguise

 

[SolarKnight]

That, and because story-wise, without part 3 nothing after it works at all. They NEED to animate it if they're thinking about doing everything else. As much as I'd like to have animated Kira as soon as possible, skipping Stardust Crusaders is not a good idea at all.

 

[Jex]

Let hope they're changing studio for that

Well I certainly doubt that more money will give make their animators improve, especially considering how little of a shows budget actually goes towards paying for them anyway.

I wonderif they'll change a few of the stuff from the India arc, some of the stuff there would be offensive in today lol.
Also Norio as Hol Horse HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGG

 

[Erigu]

Also Norio as Hol Horse HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGG

It's not Wakamoto anymore in the PlayStation 3 game though.

 

[SolarKnight]

That reminds me that we STILL need Wakamoto as someone in this series.

What would be offensive? Nothing springs to mind.

Not sure who he could voice anymore... Stroheim and Esidisi seemed like good candidates, but now...

 

[SolarKnight]

Well, I do think Norio's voice could fit Messina.

 

[Kurtofan]

How can you say 'no' to more over the top JoJo?

The thing is, Jojo's is over the top but subtle about it.

GG subs look more like a Duwang parody fansub IMO, the authors are replacing the lines by their own jokes and exaggerate existing ones.

If some people like them, good for them, but I do not find them faithful to the original work.

It reminds me of the French dub of Hokuto no Ken, where the voice actors decided to make up jokes on the fly to lighten up the show's violence.
I mean it's funny, but it's not a very good adaptation.

So awful it's great. Hokuto de cuisine FTW.

 

[Easy_D]

The thing I like about GG subs is that they throw in some british for Jojo, I like that, my merry chums!

Save him for Kira.

 

[Pirabear]

Oh man, this looks so fun.

There was a jojo pose workshop at Otakon last year.

It was awesome. =D

? Unless my ears decieve me, that's Norio's voice, you

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII don't think subtle is anything I would call the JoJo series =P
This is the series where in Part 4 we got an epic

Rock, Paper Scissors battle

To me I'll take meaning over translation. ...and I think the term you're thinking of is Wooley-ism. DUWANG is more...blind confused translation.

If some people like them, good for them, but I do not find them faithful to the original work.

It's cool mate, apologies if I was being rude or offensive; we're all best chums here~

 

[Erigu]

? Unless my ears decieve me, that's Norio's voice

No, this time around, Hol Horse is voiced by Ôtsuka Hôchû (who happened to be the voice of the young Joseph in the Capcom game).

BUT THEY SOUND NOTHING ALIKE! ..but it really does sound like Norio, goddamnit now everyone can imitate his voice @3@

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wait, the ASB voice actors aren't the ones voicing in the anime? I notice a different cast.

 

[Erigu]

They're the same as in the TV series (so far, anyway), but the previous animated adaptations, audio dramas and video games had different voice actors.

Oh my, Lisa Lisa next ep *swoon
