oh god, I just realized.
I cannot WAIT to hear how Patrick Seitz does Dio.
...and if Viz can hurry up, maybe we can have Part 3 be a dub premiere, which would be amazing, but have a feeling maybe after S1 finishes, we'll have another shorter show & then Part 3 can air once Viz finishes.

Yeah, I saw the clip that was from....episode 5, I think, where it featured Polnareff explaining his backstory.
.....which is weird that Viz keeps his name intact, yet Namco changed it TWICE (Jean Pierre Eiffel in ASB, then AGAIN to just Jean Pierre in EoH). No idea why when Capcom & Viz are okay with keeping it.
But either way, I'm just glad we finally have an update & that they're making progress after that "test dub" from a year or so ago. Hoping for news on the Blu-ray releases.

but pt1 is the worst part.
Clearly their strongest pick up ever was DBZ Kai, and it's not even close.
yes it's a necessary evil.
pt1 isn't awful it's just so middling that people might drop the series after "watching a whole part", thinking this show just isn't for them, while part 1 is not the reason people spazz over JoJo.
Also this. I love JoJo but DBZ Kai wins. OPM might outdo it in ratings by being the hypest thing, but DBZ Kai is very consistent ratings for Toonami.

I'd prefer a break between "The Animation" and "Stardust Crusaders", otherwise the timeslot would get locked up for a while.

The average AS watcher is going to make JoJo flop, aren't they?
I don't care. JoJo on Toonami!
So you basically know it all

I'm wondering how much viewership would be last having to slog through Part 1 to get to the good parts?
There is a single dub, but the licence went from WB to Viz so some people are assuming that it will be getting redubbed with the new licence holder when in actuality that is very very unlikely to happen.
some of that hope comes because the current dub is cheesy and over the top and thus some people consider it a bad dub.
personally I found the dub to be a near perfect fit for the show as the show in general is cheesy and over the top and thus consider it a fine dub for the show

Important question: Does the dub have Roundabout?

The DVDs had it, but it's a question whether they can broadcast it.
Also, I feel like people overstate how weak/boring the first part is. By episode 3, there's already something that feels like a "final battle".
That means you are already well prepared.
even if there is roundabout no doubt it will be cut down.
Parts 1 and 2 have one of those things.

I should probably finish Stardust Crusaders' second half before it airs on Toonami then. I got plenty of time.
Also, RIP "Roundabout".

As someone who thought the first half of part 3 was a little boring as well, once they
get iggy
Part 1 is plenty entertaining in its own right, has Dio, is really fast paced, and is very short. If Jojo had started its run when Iron-Blooded Orphans did, Part 1 would already be ending in 2 weeks.
If people can get through the slogs of the middle of Attack on Titan, the cave episodes of SAO II, or any of Naruto Shippuden, then I think people can deal with Phantom Blood.

I would completely agree with this and cannot wait for October!

Jojo is basically the animated equivalent of something like Commando so I also have no problems with an equally dumb dub.

*looks at the leaks for The Killing Joke animated movie*
Guys, this movie is a dumpster fire.

Part 1 is basically Kenshiro in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
.....I have opinions of it, but I'll wait until we finish it, which isn't long because Part 1 is only 9 episodes while Part 2 is the rest of the series.
Edit: So Part 3 all depends on how well S1 does? I don't know, feel that's kind of unfair since Part 3 is the most well-known part that basically was the start of the main stuff Jojo is known for.
Though I'd be fine with having a show in between S1 & S2 since S2 is double the length & it'd be nice to have a "break" show in between.

If Toonami times it well, they could actually break up Jojo Part 1 and 2 with the inevitable holiday marathons.
Hmm, I can't see them planning it well. OPM ends Oct. 18th, right?
Oct. 25th: ep. 1
Nov. 5th: ep. 2
Nov. 12th: ep. 3
Nov. 19th: ep. 4
Nov. 26th: no new episode, marathon for Thanksgiving
Dec. 3rd: ep. 5
Dec. 10th: Ep. 6 or beginning of Dec. marathons
17th, 24th, & 31st: Marathons.
So we'd be about 2/3rds done with Part 1 by the time the holiday marathons begin, & this is assuming we don't have a Halloween marathon like last year
Oct. 25th: ep. 1
Nov. 5th: ep. 2
Nov. 12th: ep. 3
Nov. 19th: ep. 4

Dec. 3rd: ep. 5

JoJo part 1 is one of the weakest parts but a weak JoJo is still JoJo and there is enough entertainment, wrrrry's, and frog punching to keep viewers coming back.
This news as well as Part 4 going on has me eager to see JoJo on Toonami. It is gurieto.

While I'm at least enjoying it Star Ocean 5 is a laughably easy game. My White Mage and Black Mage actually never run out of mana and even if they did the restore items are a flat rate so you can just feed them 80 gold things to restore it, and I stacked damage on the one character I control and just kill everything in 1-3 hits
You can tell that the game was made on the cheap, but there are some in depth role/class/crafting systems there that in a better game would make something awesome.

This is probably what will happen.
I can definitely see that happening.
When was the last great AAA classic JRPG? Lost Odyssey?
AAA budget and great? Probably FF X.
The last great console RPG was released pretty recently though, Idol Emblem.
I'd go with XII. It was PS2 so it probably still counts as classic.
Yea, it had it's issues but it was still solid enough. Really want to see if IZJS takes it to that classic level.
Wow, I was way off, but yeah, this seems like it's perfect timing, though I wonder if the 17th will be a marathon since they know Dec. tends to have the lowest amount of viewers. But since it's still 8 days from Xmas, maybe they'll feel like it's far enough away from when everyone will be traveling & such.
Edit: I could totally see the New Year marathon being Jojo, airing episodes 3 through 9, then that way, people can be caught up for ep. 10 airing the following week.
Look at it this way. It's been 16 years since the PS2 launched. The NES wasn't even out in the US 16 years before the launch of the PS2 and that was most certainly a classic system in 2000!
