Its at least more deserving than most movies about movies.
Perhaps people will come back once Part 3 airs since people will recognize "YEAH, THAT'S the Jojo I remember with all the punching ghosts!!"
I still wish Part 2 got a promo to help show how different it was from Part 1. But at the very least, they gave it unique bumps & such.
I'm just glad everyone here is enjoying Part 2.

Part 1 has better characters than Part 2.
Speedwagon is nowhere near as hype as he used to be and the villains aren't really doing it like Dio.
I don't think part 3 will be bringing anyone back in if most have the same reaction to it as me (which certainly isn't a guarantee lol). Maybe it's because I thought part 2 was so good.
It's fine, but it's just a big step down (although I've heard it gets better, and it has started to. Slowly worked my wat to episode 17 now).

but part 2 has joseph & mr. bubble salad
Part 3 has its moments (especially later on), though the anime did drag out a few fights, but it's still a decent part. It'll still make for a great group watch.
For me personally, Part 4 is waaaay more enjoyable since I feel like it's similar to Part 2 where Araki found his "groove" & just started to get more crazy with what powers people have & perfecting what he introduced in the previous part.

That's the thing, I've been trying to keep an eye on any updates for S1 (well, Parts 1 & 2 since they seem to be releasing in parts instead of seasons, which hopefully means Part 3 will be one release instead of split into two seasons like the TV airing) of Jojo on Blu-Ray, but NOTHING. After they announced the news on July 1st, there hasn't been any updates.
I had no idea that jojo had punching ghosts and that persona is basically a jojo rpg until after I started watching part 3.
jojo just doesn't have much mainstream appeal in the west at all.
For some reason, Part 3 was the only one that Viz originally localized back in the day, not to mention the Capcom fighter & that OVA. Hence why that's the one most people are familiar with.
Hell, I had no idea there were other parts when I first discovered the Part 3 manga. I think it was the announcement of the anime for Parts 1 & 2 years later that I then discovered "OH SHIT, THIS IS A MULTI-PART SERIES THAT'S STILL GOING?!?!"
Also how does a series named after huge bands famous in America not take off? We have a villain named after AC/DC, that's awesome.

Back from Ghost in the Shell
The movie is super interesting visually but it's such a trainwreck of a movie. Everyone in the theater (60+ people- way more than for One Piece Gold or Yu-gi-oh) just seemed confused when the credits rolled. I am now sure that the ScarJo led Hollywood version of the movie will be a better film than the original.
If nothing else, it was good to see it on a big screen when my previous experience with the movie was on a PSP Screen on an airplane in 2008?
Yes, I imported the SAC game before it got a USA release. I got it with my copy of Bleach Heat the Soul 2 for some reason lol

Same thing happened with me when I watched that GitS Arise movie. I felt like I should've enjoyed it, but also felt like most of what was being talked about went over my head, the main reason why I haven't tried watching the original film yet.
I had a similar feeling towards SAC, but with that, I could still see the appeal of it with its futuristic setting & such. I felt like "this is probably popular, but just not something I can fully understand due to being a teen, maybe when I'm older".

YouTube says it's one hour, 13 minutes. Either way, the longer the better, helps give me more to listen to during work the pass the time & makes it more fun to hear you guys.Every time I enter a podcast it balloons up to two hours
I should look ahead & see what episodes are airing. It's been a while since I partook in the podcast, but I also recognize I feel like I tend to have the least to say about most of the shows (aside from maybe Jojo). Hell, I don't even know how I could contribute to the Gundam discussion. Though I also have trouble trying to say anything because I feel like I gotta wait for my turn or I'm gonna interrupt someone.
....also I will never get used to hearing the sound of my voice recorded.

God Overwatch competitive is just a miserable experience sometimes.
It's amazing how quickly people go from being friendly to "kill yourself kid". It's worse than I remember Dota being.
In other news, Nichijou seems like something I should watch.

Yes. Yes it is, & props to Funimation for using two of some of the funniest moments from the show in the trailer. It's one of those "clip show" animes where someone posts a clip from YouTube, learn the name, look at more clips, then watch the series.
I'm already on episode 7, much longer than I was expecting to watch today, & I've been laughing every episode despite already seeing the series (despite it being back in 2011) & have certain scenes in my mind that I like to show people to convince them to check the show out.
Easily one of my favorite anime comedies along side Panty & Stocking, Cromartie High, Azumanga Daioh, Daily Life of Highschool Boys, & a few more that I'm probably forgetting at the moment. The animation & how it handles the deliveries of the punchlines & facial reactions are fantastic. Not to mention it has a nice art style to help it make it stand out more.
Obviously, comedy is much more subjective when it comes to a person's opinions, but if you enjoy surreal anime humor (but not "hur hur panty shots" pervy humor, because there's almost none of that at all), this is seriously one to check out, especially if you like the clips floatin' around on YouTube.
Some games just have terrible communities at times.
Such an overrated movie. People who compare it to Akira are insane.
The universe seems fine so maybe some of the alternative material is better.

I thought the original movie was fine. Won't lie though, I fell asleep twice trying to watch the sequel.
Oh, also, Nichijou has this:
That automatically makes it a must-watch.
....no I'm not giving you the context.
....also this:
Really, it should only be compared to Akira in terms of visual quality. Though Akira suffers from the fact it was trying to cram as much from the manga as possible but still left some stuff out.
Though me personally, I don't tend to be all "look deeper into the meaning of what the movie is trying to say" when I watch something. I'm usually more "face value", especially with stuff similar to GitS or Gundam where I feel like most of it just bounces off me or goes over my head, especially when it decides to be political.

....also this:
It's probably why the series works better as a TV series compared to trying to draw out a movie by keeping trying to be all philosophical & wants you to try to "figure out its meaning" or whatever. Even when SAC tries to do stuff like that, at least it's easier to hand in smaller 24 minute chunks with action & such to break it up.

"sold over 19 million copies"
.....*sigh*....
Should probably tell my friend, despite the fact he probably won't be able to see it. I MIGHT see it with him just to see if it's as stupid as the show, but I highly doubt we will considering it's another movie we'd have to travel to another town to watch.
What a true hero!

I dunno, it just stuck with me more. Visually it's amazing and I loved the chill, introspective atmosphere. The opening sequence is still the best thing in the franchise.
edit: things got weird
seda nuked my post
I mean I know why because of my answer and him nuking his own post but still lol.
*posts the bit that should have been fine*
I could see the movie getting props for having better artistic design but the tv series handily defeats it in story and music.
if those are two of the funniest moments then maybe I will refrain from watching it even though i have been told to because they weren't funny at all.
It's all good. I know why you did it. though it does have me curious... *PMs seda a question*

My bad, I understand why. Sorry about that.
Fair enough.

Surprised nobody knew who voiced King Kai
Wait, what got deleted?
Same way I understand how the comedy in OPM doesn't click with Bass. If the humor in a comedy doesn't click, then there's not much else to watch/stick around for.
*shrugs* As mentioned, comedy is very subjective. If it's not doing it for you, then fair enough, series probably isn't for you.

My spoilery Naruto joke in response to Hellwarden calling Kayaba "everyone's favorite hero."
Isn't it the same guy who voices Goku?
Yup.
I deleted a post that was a manga panel with a watermark to a piracy site. Basically, it's okay to post manga panels, as long as you don't post entire chapters or link/point towards places you can pirate them (so, no watermarks).
Kinda the same thing with soundtracks. It's certainly okay to post music from a game or show as long as you don't point a link to a full OST download or whatnot.

Yeah the fact it was an obscure spoiler was fairly irrelevant in the scheme of things.

That too lol.
I pulled it from a google search so I wasnt sure if it was bad or not. I understand now.
What about Fairy Tail?
I finished Zeta Gundam. Overall I think it's better than the original show. A little bit more creative, more dynamic. However, 95% of the drama is bad. Not just sorta bad, but really curiously bad.
Katz was nearly insufferable. Reccoa's motives were incomprehensible, I have no idea why they entertained Rosamia for so long. Kamille was an okay protag otherwise. The best character was Emma.
The way the show ends I suppose I have to watch ZZ now, huh.

Huh that Samurai Jack section looks meaty. I'm also surprised this episode wasn't called "Fucking Bubbles!"
