One thing you gotta admire in retrospect is how much of a wildcard each stand is. D'arby the Gamer's, for example. We first see him walking towards the group on air, then he throws a card at Polnareff (which he slices in two). Then he says that his stand is nothing like his brother's and proceeds to predict Jotaro's movements after an erroneous bet. Finally, he opens a pitfall trap. For a person who hadn't read the fight, they wouldn't have a clue what his stand did.

Wasn't the pitfall because of Tenor Sax? It didn't seem like Atum had that kind of power.

Don't mind me, just being the best song from the OST.

As majestic and ephemeral as a wub bubble

Of course. That's also how he walked on air.r

Wonderful,wonderful episode.
However,there's one thing i don't understand.How is it that Cars could fall for the dummy trick if his eyesight is supposedly comparable to a space telescope?Is it the combination of his angle of descent,as well as plain speed of his approach?

How the hell did he even lose the fight when his IQ is over 400?
-

I. Love. It.
It reminds me of the soundtrack for 300.
-
Just one more episode and the season will conclude. I'm really going to miss this show. It's the best anime I've seen in years. Here's hoping part three won't take too long to come out.

Being good at IQ tests doesn't necessarily equate to being good at anything else.

I think it comes out in October or November, LOL.
We only have to wait until Fall 2016 for Stone Ocean, isn't that GREAT?

that makes me think, what kind of production value does the Jojo anime have? I also think it's the best anime adaption I ever saw next to the madhouse adaption of HxH, but somehow there are a lot people not sharing our feelings, saw many users on other forums calling the new jojo low budget crap, which confused me, because I felt this was still an adaption that successfully recreated the Jojo atmosphere, but on the other hand, I almost never watch anime, so what do I know.
Edit: still waiting for EP 21 from commie, lol -

Edit: still waiting for EP 21 from commie, lolMy favorite anime are anything by Madhouse but Jojo has proven to be a strong contender. I'm betting the budget isn't anything special however they manage it effectively using some great styling techniques to hide some of the animation's shortcomings.
-
They do have some well animated episodes though,namely this one and #20.

Oh and did I mention that "HIS HAND IS A SQUIRREL!SQUIRREL EATS SQUIRRELS!SQUIRREEL EATS NAZIS!IT'S A MONTHY PYTHON SQUIRREL!" is one of my favourite moments in the entirety of JoJo.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Actually,I have reconsidered my preferred track from the OST.It's not Propaganda,as glorious as that is,it's this:
SHIZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -

Madhouse actually did produce my favorite anime (Paranoia Agent), but it wasn't animated as well as HxH or JoJo, so I don't know why people are bashing the latter? They're probably dismissing the stylistic choices as "low-budget".

I think I remember PA being animated quite well in general and Maromi in particular,as well some trippy sequences and the like,put to motion really well.In terms of animation,it's not on the level of Kon's theatrical works by any means,but it's still more than solid for a TV series.
Also,yes,JoJo is kinda lacking on animation.Other than few stand out episodes like 20 and 25,it's animation is pretty limited,with an ovewhelming number of still frames and little or just plain choppy motion.

Yeah sorry…
In terms of motion, Paranoia Agent was definitely superior, there ARE a lot of still frames in JoJo.I guess I was just blinded by the style, the color, and Caesar's kick in episode 20.
-
Yeah,JoJo's style and colors are awesome,though I've seen few people turned off by that.
What I really hope,for is that all of the cash David got from this will go towards making episode 20/25 quality of animation standard for Part 3,though I'm not sure that's comletely achievable,given the projected length.

Actually,no,scratch that,they should be able to manage.

Well, Part 3 is probably the most popular, so they're gonna pull out all the stops anyway.

Okay, for the roster…
I brought Rohan back and extended it to 40 chars:! Cars
Joseph Joestar (Part 3)
Iggy
Koichi Hirose
Rohan Kishibe
Akira Otoishi
Narancia Ghirga
Trish Una
Bruno Buccellati
Cioccolata
Risotto Nero
Weather Report
F.F.
Narciso Anasui
Enrico Pucci
Hot Pants
Diego Brando
Funny ValentineBut I feel like that's too many?
Who do you think we should shave off? -
I would remove Joseph, Iggy, Trish, Rohan, Hot Pants and Cioccolata and add Diavolo. -> 35 chars
-
misty is speedwagon haha
-
I think it comes out in October or November, LOL.

If that's right, then we will see Jojolion only in 2018. Five years from now. Let that sink. That's how much Araki created by now.
And there is a slight chance Jojolion will not be finished by then. -
How long was steel ball run in publication? 6 years? 9? That's the problem with Jojo, in 1 year he'll have done about 3 'battles' at most, sometimes not even that. I feel your guys pain having to sit through SBR
-
I want Kars, Stroheim (should have been there instead of Esidisi tbh), Lisa Lisa, Yukako, Bruno, Trish, F.F., Hot Pants, Diego and Valentine.

YT comment on the HOLY WUBSTORM track.
I was playing this song on my Ipod when I saw a squirrel.
I don't think I've ever ran so hard.Cracked me up.

I just don't get you people. Speculating about a game that won't change in the slightest regardless of what you say is an exercise in futility. And simply posting rosters is both uncreative and boring, I think. I'm not saying to stop entirely…but we do have another thread for this sort of thing.

That applies to all games though and people love to speculate and give their opinions. It's something to talk about when everything else is discussed

I'm all for discussion. But roster lists are nothing more than a list of characters thrown together. Right or wrong, what is there to talk about? Whether or not you think those characters will be in the game? I don't see how that's at all interesting. And, as I said, we have another thread for this.

Yeah, but it can lead to even more speculation, like movesets and shit.
Where is the other topic, BTW? I couldn't find it.

Some April Fool-er is VERY VERY CRUEL

Now that's cruel indeed.
I'm expecting at least a hint where the "next episode" part should be in 26. Maybe some "to be continued next fall" or something.
I'm going to get this off my chest: I never got Jotaro's hat. What is hat and what is hair?
