Roundabout is a pretty kickass ending theme.

 

[zedreamcast]

Uhh ok those post credits credits were super awkward.

 

[Shard]

Oh hey, they have the actual English credits after that for some reason.

 

[Tacorona72]

That ending theme is hot!

 

[Schadenfreude]

This was better than I could have hoped. Jojo's is on Toonami, y'all! Time for Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

 

[Crocodile]

Not much to say for this episode aside from the fact it was a nostalgia trip. Kind of surreal how far the series has progressed from Part I to Part IV.

I'm guessing there was no "transition" into the ending in episode 1? I can't remember. Weird way they handled the credits too.

Also, yeah, things move a bit fast - they are squeezing a lot of manga content into the episode count of Part I.

 

[grandjedi6]

Someone needs to edit the Star Trek Kahn scene to scream DIO instead

 

[Moaradin]

This was the ED everyone was clamoring about?

The background visual is creative but the song isn't particularly remarkable.

That's a pretty famous song even before JoJo lol

 

[B-Dubs]

Roundabout is probably the perfect theme for JoJo, given the shape the series takes on.

 

[Soulflarz]

That ending theme is hot!

yeah best anime theme :VVV

 

[Mizerman]

WHAT?!

Oh yes. The gruesome details was in the manga.

 

[BatDan]

I can't imagine Gundam bringing down this high.

 

[Neoxon]

Did.....did they just outright spoil the Part 2 cast?

Also, a clean version of the credits exists. Viz Media could have just used that.

 

[Zonic]

I forgot so much happened in the first episode. Pacing was better than I remembered.

....*sigh*...now for IBO....

 

[bigkrev]

That felt super rushed

 

[Nairume]

The credits are still in Japanese, how curious.

The dub (at least in the DVDs) has the english credits come in afterwards, instead of editing the existing credits.

 

[Grexeno]

[aspiegamer]

Roundabout? This is pretty much the last place I ever thought I'd hear it. I mean really, what would rank lower? No complaints.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

First episode was pretty good, animal brutality aside.

Now for IBO.

 

[zedreamcast]

This was the ED everyone was clamoring about?

Its more about the fact that its an actually famous song and not just another anime ending song.

Bruh

 

[StoneFox]

How often does an anime use classic rock music from the 70s?

 

[ckohler]

Awesome show so far. Good start.

Bravo keeping the full ending in Japanese and tacking the English credits on the end for purity. Bravo. Time for IBO.

 

[Line_HTX]

I like the song, but I like other Yes songs better.

 

[That Dude John]

I'm trying to think of what english cartoon I could set to a japanese song as a point of comparison that would sound as decent.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Poor one out for Danny

 

[Neoxon]

[Dr. Chaotix]

I can finally say that I've watched an episode of Jojo. And the Dio meme makes sense now. I love it!

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

So Viz is using the Warner release then

 

[Zonic]

ooohhhhh, daaannnnnnyyyyy bboooooooooooyyyyyyyyy

 

[TheOGB]

Well that's my night made. Now to use the hype of Jojo to try to finish ClusterTruck. FUCK this last level

 

[Ashby]

Wait, the first two Parts of JoJo aren't available in English?

 

[UltraGunner]

Jonathan is an absolute ledge, bruvs

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Can those words even be used in a sentence??

 

[Nairume]

Did.....did they just outright spoil the Part 2 cast?

Also, a clean version of the credits exists. Viz Media could have just used that.

Yeah, they just have one version of the english credits that they have tacked to the end of every dubbed episode.

Like I said before, the dub itself is good, but WB was as lazy as possible with virtually everything else about it.

 

[BatDan]

Poor one out for Danny

Dicks out for Danny

 

[ramoisdead]

Roundabout?

Time for Gundam IBS.

 

[Soulflarz]

y-you realize this song was famous pre jojo
like
...I knew it before I saw JoJo and I was 17 or 18 at the time
pls

 

[Line_HTX]

Good lead in to IBO, DeKappa

 

[Htown]

So, I really enjoyed that first episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It was completely over the top and hilarious.

 

[Neoxon]

So Viz is using the Warner release then

For Parts 1 & 2, yes. Viz Media is handling the dubs for Parts 3 onwards themselves.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

So, just to spare you guys the actual page, in the manga it shows Danny's burning body erupt out of the incinerator, where we can see that DIO

WIRED HIS JAWS SHUT SO NO ONE COULD HEAR HIM.

 

[Regiruler]

How often does an anime use classic rock music from the 70s?

I'd prefer 70s hair metal

 

[grandjedi6]

Did.....did they just outright spoil the Part 2 cast?

Also, a clean version of the credits exists. Viz Media could have just used that.

Does Viz even have the masters to Part 1? They could just be reusing Warner's terrible version

Guess we'll see when we get to the censoring

 

[nintendoman58]

So, I really enjoyed that first episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It was completely over the top and hilarious.

Congratulations. You are now officially guaranteed to enjoy the rest of Jojo.

*Raises left eyebrow*

 

[ShinRPGamer]

How will Toonami react to our new character?

 

[Nairume]

Wait, the first two Parts of JoJo aren't available in English?

Nah, both the manga and anime versions of part 1 and 2 have been officially available in english for over a year now.

 

[UltraGunner]

With all the Costco employees dead, who's gonna hand out free samples?

 

[Raxus]

Danny's fate in the manga:
snip

Yeah....DIO is a fucking monster.
