If Demarco is as much of a music buff as he claims he is, he'll do the right thing and remove the JoJo opening completely and play the FULL ending.

It's a sacrifice I'm willing to accept.

 

[Line_HTX]

There are other Classic Rock tracks that are better than Roundabout.

Hell, Owner of a Lonely Heart is better than Roundabout.

Probably cheaper to play the OP and just cut the ED entirely

 

[Jarate]

The opening for Jojo part 1 is incredible though ;-;

Spoiler

part 2 somehow is better

Free your soul~

Should totally be the Jojo ending for part 4

does anyone know if part 4 is getting an anime adaption or not. God I hope it does, cause id rather not have to read awful fan translations

 

[Grexeno]

We will be sure to inform him that cutting or removing the OP and/or ED on certain episodes will be a "you cut the Attack on Titan OP" rage-moment.

It's not confirmed but probably

 

[BassForever]

Considering they wouldn't confirm an anime adaptation of the most popular part of JoJo until a few months after the series finished it's first season I'm not too worried about us not getting part 4 animated.

 

[Line_HTX]

I'm kind of familiar with Jojo's, but I have to wonder, is a lot of it like a Monster-of-the-Week adventure to find Dio?

 

[Jarate]

I'm kind of familiar with Jojo's, but I have to wonder, is a lot of it like a Monster-of-the-Week adventure to find Dio?

Part 1 and 2 is not like that at all

Part 3 can be like that, and while the formula is rough at the start of the 3rd part, it picks up incredibly well by the end of it, and honestly has some incredibly creative battles happen.

I havent read any of the other parts though, but from what I have heard I dont think it maintains the monster of the week format.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

The monster of the week format is actually part of why I think Stardust Crusaders would do really well on Toonami.

That's Part 3.

Part 1-2 are more like Hokuto no Ken.
Part 3 is Monster of the Week.
Part 4 has lots of goofy Slice of Life elements.
Part 5 is like Part 3.
Part 6 is fucking weird.
Part 7 is more about character development.
Part 8 is...really, really fucking weird. It's more of a mystery thing.

 

[Jarate]

It worked for SAO

 

[Line_HTX]

I don't know... I'm not sold on Parasyte. I thought they would get some other Sentai show instead.

It worked for SAO

Bah God.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Parasyte is pretty good for like, 10 episodes. Then it's not.

 

[Jarate]

That's Part 3.

Part 1-2 are more like Hokuto no Ken.

Part 6 is fucking weird.
Part 7 is more about character development.
Part 8 is...really, really fucking weird. It's more of a mystery thing.

Part 1-2 are nothing like Hokoto no Ken beyond art Style, Fist of the North Star has always been about Kenshiro being a broken piece of shit and beating up weak people who take advantage of others, while jojo part 1 & 2 are about incredibly weak characters finding creative ways to take down opponents who are much stronger.

The art style is incredibly similar, but even then, Fist of the North Star started out as pretty "bad guy of the week"

Part 1 & 2 are definately shonen as fuck, but there's a level of self awareness that araki has with those parts and a level of creativity in his work that makes it really shine in comparison to other manga that basically looked like Fist of the North Star.

Also, Fist of the North Star would be an awesome group watch with you guys. I think it gets a lot of unfounded hate for no reason, but it really shines in a lot of places, has some good ass character scenes, and really makes you want to shed manly tears.

 

[Hellwarden]

That show seemed like it was gonna be made for me.

A sci-fi alien invasion anime with a focus on body horror? Fuck, that's what I want.

Then I watched it, and I realized it was the worst parts of the Spiderman movies all ground together, but with none of the redeeming qualities mixed in.

Special notes has to be given to Parasyte for having, and I don't think I'm being hyperbolic here, the worst female characters in years.

There's only really two people on Ken's level in the entirety of Fist of the North Star (not including 2) and one of them is sick and dying. FotNS is like the East Blue and Ken is Luffy.

 

[Line_HTX]

Okay, nice. I'm actually glad I dropped it at ep. 8 since it was 24 episodes. I just couldn't stand looking at the characters. None of them were likeable.

 

[Jarate]

Here's my schedule for Jarate's Toonami that ive honestly thought about doing (I dont think I could emulate Tom's voice exactly, but I could probably cut together some stuff for the different shows and openings)

1. Hunter x Hunter
2. Fist of the North Star
3. Ping Pong the Animation
4. G Gundam
5. Cromartie High School
6. The Hero Yoshihiko
7. Gintama
8. Twin Peaks

It also has this, which would instantly be the best intro on Toonami

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

1. Ping Pong the Animation
2. Space Battleship Yamato 2199
3. Gundam Build Fighters
4. JoJo
5. HxH
6-8. Gintama

This will work trust me

 

[Seda]

is jojos good

 

[Jarate]

Jim Jims Wacky Journey is my favorite cartoon!

TOONAMI is not ready to face a thousand years of Hokuto mastery.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

is jojos good

It's the most consistently good Shonen! It's abnormal because it's been running for 25+ years and somehow is still getting better, Part 7 was the best arc

But I dunno what to think of Part 8 yet, going to need the full picture because it's so out there

 

[Seda]

i actually did see the first half of season 1 (part 1?) and iffy animation aside I enjoyed how stupid and nuts everything was.

im concerned because in the dub they dont seem to be yelling all that much

the Jojo manga that just came out, I swear that there are more exclamation points then sentences.

I think there will be some who won't like it though, on a very shallow viewing, it's hard to understand it, but it really is a lot deeper then people give it credit for, I does some things exceptionally well, has some incredible humour, and doesnt take itself very seriously, while at the same time taking itself way too seriously

Jojo reminds me of Primus in a whole lot of ways

 

[Man God]

Hiatus x Hiatus
Build Fighters
G Gundam
Full Metal Panic Fumoffu
then the rest of the block can be One Piece.

 

[BassForever]

1. Ping Pong the Animation
2. Space Battleship Yamato 2199
3. Gundam Build Fighters
4. JoJo
5. HxH
6-8. Gintama

This will work trust me

Almost none of these will ever happen except maybe Jojo and HxH if it's ever dubbed.

 

[Man God]

I still don't think Build Fighters is impossible. Getting dubbed would be step number one. For those complaining that it's a kids show, well, so is One Piece/DBZ/Naruto/Clone Wars/Thundercats/Beware the Batman/Symbionic Titan

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Gintama getting a dub is probably the least likely thing next to LOGH getting a dub.

Oh wait, they did dub the first movie. It was a really, really, really bad dub. Like not even in comparison to trying to beat Sugita as Gintoki (impossible) but it just sucks ass

Right stuf has the rights to Gundam physical releases in the US correct? Considering they didn't bother to get Turn A Gundam dubbed I doubt they'll get GBF dubbed if/when they decide to officially release that in the US.

We're probably not going to see a single dub released for a non OVA series until Wing gets remastered.

 

[Line_HTX]

My lineup with 90 minutes of "safe" timeslots:

1. DBZ Kai
2. Space Dandy S2
3. Michiko & Hatchin / GANGSTA
4. Aldnoah/Zero
5-6. Naruto-OP
7. GITS: SAC
8. Food Wars

9. Cross Ange
10. ShimoSeka

 

[BassForever]

Yes, and even if today Right Stuf were to announce some mega deal to redub EVERY Gundam series and Toonami had free picking to select any of the newer series to air they'd most likely pick Turn A or G no Reconguista. While I would never pull a Shard/Gucci and say "it'll never happen" I think a lot of things would have to work out too specifically for GBF to end up on Toonami IE it's the only new gundam show dubbed and the only one Toonami can get which would be amazing if it did happen.

7. GITS: SAC
8. Food Wars

9. Cross Ange
10. ShimoSeka

Ugh, the scary thing is Aldnoah/Zero has a pretty good chance of coming to Toonami in 2016. Also while I'd love to see it Food Wars/Shokugeki no Soma probably falls to close to the world of being a sports series which have historically never done well.

[Hellwarden]

Oh man, Cross Ange on Toonami...

Wait, who has Cross Ange?....Sentai?...They'd be in charge of the dub...

 

[Man God]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U008nGT0eww

There's actually some decently racy bits in GBF as well. The show also loves its low angle ass shots, which is kinda weird but whatever.

 

[Seda]

Cross Ange is some sort of mecha + fanservice junk right

 

[Man God]

Cross Ange is some sort of mecha + fanservice junk right

More like Dross Ange.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Cross Ange is some sort of mecha + fanservice junk right

It's the worstbest thing ever and has oddly good character development and Nana Mizuki sings in it

 

[Seda]

worse than Valvrave?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

worse than Valvrave?

Valvrave is just really boring, they should've tried harder to have bad shock value, it blew its load really early and S2 was a whole bunch of nothing, Cross Ange pretty much never stops

Like on the Schadenfreude Grossness scale Cross Ange is at least a 9, Valvrave is like a 4, there were times I couldn't believe stuff was actually happening in Cross Ange, for various reasons

Now I'm not telling people to watch Cross Ange
But you should probably watch Cross Ange, if you want to sit down and just feel like a bad person for 20 minutes there aren't many things better. Except for playing Destiny, maybe
