Let me put it this way: I'm really tired of JoJo after Part 3 and want to start part 4 after taking an apparently small break from the show. And no, Berserk isn't going to be a main thing, it's going to be read while watching other shows such as Bebop, JoJo part 4, Monster and Ippo. Not going to dedicate myself to the manga.

Manga goes by a bit differently than anime. You can end up breezing through a couple of hundered pages in a relatively short amount of time.

On another note. Just fought
Father Balder
in Bayo 2, holy fuck was that fight amazing in every way.

Fair enough. I'm just disappointed that you're stopping right before one of the best parts. Still, I wouldn't want you read Part 4 if you're getting burned out on JoJo.

No. Why even?

Don't start part 4 unless you finish 3 in either anime or manga form.

Massive spoilers in the first few chapters of part 4.

I've got this sitting on my external. I should probably try and watch it. The concept sounds great.
Click to expand...

It's a really cool concept and a good take on questioning how a society should be judged, what makes people criminals and what should be done when people are naturally born that prove a supposed "perfect judgment" to be flawed and all that kind of stuff.
The main character Tsunemori Akane is really good, she's kind of understated in a lot of ways but has so many fantastic moments that make her really likable, especially as a female protagonist.

Yeah, I know. Though with Berserk, I'm going to restrict myself a bit with that.

I understand. But it's because I've heard so many good things about Part 4 that I'm trying not to read it right now. Switching from anime to manga is going to take a bit to get used to and I want to experience this apparently best part the right way. By the end of Stardust Crusaders, I was partially rushing through the episodes so I could be done with it (still enjoyed it), so I definitely don't want to start Part 4 now

Like I said, I'm already done with Part 3/Stardust Crusaders.

No you're not, you're half way through it

Yeah. Mara, the Part 3 anime isn't done. The 2nd half is starting next month.

I was still using the earlier Part definition I gave in my assessment post. Part 3 for me in this case is the first 24 episodes of Stardust Crusaders. Looking at it like that, I am done with it.

I'll use the regular definition from now on though.
Click to expand...

Part 3 is Stardust Crusaders, you are only half way through it. The part 4 we are talking about is Diamond is Unbreakable

Ghost in the shell is fucking great. If you aren't gonna watch that at least watch blade runner

I love blade runner, but it's different. It's robots that think they're human. I find that concept fascinatiing.

It's when humans abandon their physical bodies for robotic ones that disturb me.

The Hobbit would have been better if they just made one 3 hour move rather than 3 movies... It seemed needless and the book wasn't long enough to warrant it since Harry Potter books were longer and the only one they needed to split up was the last one.

The other night my family members re-watched 1 & 2 on blu-ray. I told them I couldn't watch the first one again because it would bore me to tears on the third viewing. I watched 2 with them but couldn't stop myself from falling asleep during most of it.
Weirdly enough, I don't ever fall asleep in a movie theater.

Speaking of non-existant Star Wars prequels, I finally started to watch The Clone Wars series. It's definitely what the prequels should have been, in every way. It's so gooddddd
Hearing that the last 2 seasons are apparently gdlk, I'm really excited.

So I woke up at 7PM

Mara, I find Stardust Crusaders
just simply lives on it's "Stand of the Week" format. Each encounter's quality just depends on what the enemy's power is and the situation that arise from it. The boring, nothing ones are especially hard to get through with the anime, while reading I got to just plow it through and read like all of Part 3 in like 2 days, so it didn't suffer nearly as much from being a "fight of the week"
. It's still an inherent problem and makes things way less enjoyable than Part 2, or even the start of part 1.

Not really spoilers, but I tagged it in case.

JoJo really works best when marathoned. Waiting week by week for it to progress is just bad imo. That's probably why I stopped watching the Part 3 adaptation.

I looked it up and apparently it's actually one of the few things that is actually canon now.

I stopped caring about canon when Other M and Mass Effect 3 happened though.

Have any of you played the really old and obscure PS3 game. Folklore. Apparently it's a fun little action game with an interesting area and world.

So I just finished up to episode 22 today which is all that was on Netflix. Is there more than that, because the show was excellent?
Click to expand...

Yeah there are two seasons, I just finished Season 2, it's 11 episodes long.

Unless of course Netflix has both seasons together, I don't remember season 1 being THAT long, the main sign of that would be that
Kogami isn't in Season 2 at all.

I'm sorry to hear that. That sucks especially during christmas. Get well soon.

Basically my same reaction. Then, after a while, I just went with it and started singing myself.

I also dropped watching it week to week. It really hurts Part 3 more than 1 or 2, since they have to dedicate a whole episode if not two to every little stand fight. Death in the manga is super quick, but watching two 20 minute episodes about death, separated by a week of waiting? Ugh.

1. No one cares about Korra
2. Good, Kagura is a terrific child character
3. My impression of you is now less negative
