Wait….there was baby eating in part 1?
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Worse thing is that I've yet to find another translation, so I'm stuck with that crap that can't even get the names right.
To me, they're like the HK subs of scanlation. It's not remotely close to how unintelligible and confusing those subs are, but the translation choice is so bad sometimes, it's funny. I seriously laughed everytime they used "another word' instead of "In other words….".
As for the names. The only ones I remember that were mistranslated:
Bad Company: Destroying Army (No idea how they got this one)
Heaven's Door: Heaven's Gate
Harvest: Horde -
@Really:

yes there was
and
does anyone else get a huge TTGL vibe from this image?
-
Can you tell me what chapter…because I don't remember that at all...

@Senshi:

Heaven's Door: Heaven's Gate
Harvest: HordeI remember from the first volume alone they completely raped some of the names, like Suzie Q.

@Really:

Volume 4, chapter 36, starting on page 13. Its almost immediately after Johnathan kills the big guy that killed Zepelli and meets up with Dire and Straights.
-
Well it wasn't, becuase it explained how people from his village learned to do that shit.
Oh, I see thanks for clearing that up….I really need to read the scanlations.
@Taleran-....not really. -
Part II is pretty cool so far.
Straights was pretty gay, ironically, especially those laser eye beams…
...but man, Joseph is way cooler then Jonathan.

Part II is probably one of the best parts, and thankfully Straights goes away quickly enough.
Also, there's nothing to hate about Smokey Brown. That's good old fashioned racism.

Suzie Q as in the CCR song??
Is the latest Jojo on the monthly jump?? How long has it been going for ??
-
@DougyDougyGiro!*:

That's a cover song, but yes.
Is the latest Jojo on the monthly jump?? How long has it been going for ??
It's published in Ultra Jump. Can't remember the exact date it began on.

Steel Ball Run is at 11 volumes currently I believe
-
^12, actually- http://tinyurl.com/34pbgb

Just finished Part 4, and am starting on Part 5.
Does anybody know where to get Part 6 [Jolynne] and Steel Ball Run?
-
Voltage.net have the only translated chapters and both only go up to volume 3. All the raws can be downloaded at manga pimps if you're desperate (which is horrible since I can't figure out what the hell is going on most of the time. In part 6, I still have no idea how the guy with the Bohemian Rhapsody stand got defeated or what's the deal with the invisible flying rod fish guy).

@Freeman-12:
^12, actually- http://tinyurl.com/34pbgb <page 3<="" blockquote="">Actually, 13 came out this month I'm pretty sure (http://tinyurl.com/2very6).
@Cyringohn:

Only the first three volumes of Part 6 have been scanlated, and only the first five of SBR. Higher Voltage (http://jojo.highervoltage.net/) has all of the Part 6 that's available as well as the first three volumes of SBR, other two are best found from here: http://www.mangaupdates.com/groups.html?id=1196
EDIT: Someone replied while I was typing, but whatever.</page>

@Nurlock where'd u get that Part 4 fanart from? BTW thanks for the link for Vol. XIII.

The ritual link kept stopping for me, you wouldn't happen to know of another link?
-
I got it off Ritual
just kept resuming it and it worked
-
I see, I guess I'll get a download manager. I've been needing one for this computer anyways.
-
To Taleran:
! Do you mean Magent Magent wasn't dead after all? Since he's very much alive and talking at the end. Either way, I'm glad to see Pocoloco's Stand again, I always liked how it looked.
-
! if thats the dude with the Black tophat yeah him, he was crawling around all bloody
-
! Yep, that's the one. I'm sure there's some purpose for him being alive, but I liked him being dead, 'cause I really thought he had a fitting death with the bullet coming straight down through his head since he was all cocky about his Stand.
-
! Seems the key to beating Pocoloco is just being completely unpredicatable so that his good luck can't help him out completely. I hope Pocoloco isn't killed. I think Magenta did die at the end, but he survived the fight for a reason. I wonder what he was saying.
! EDIT: Nvm, he was still awake at the end. -
Wow, the end of Part 5 was horrible.
Gold Experience Requiem was moronic, King Crimson was moronic, and why the fuck was Bucciarati even a zombie to begin with? Kira was a waaaaaaaaaaay better villain than Diavolo, anyway.
OOPS ZERO POINT MY BAD LOOKS LIKE I'M INVINCIBLE

Part 3 - 5 Stand pages from the Databook
NOTE: Main Character / Main Villian, Main Stands don't have Power Graphs (Gold Experience, King Crimson, The World, Star Platinum, Killer Queen, Crazy Diamond, no idea why)

Continuing through Part II…
...Joseph is pretty damn hillarious. Dressing up as a women to "Fool" the Nazi's was hillarious.
But when Santana expanded the stomach of that one soldier...JoJo definately is probably the 1st Manga to gross me out.

Part 3 - 5 Stand pages from the Databook
NOTE: Main Character / Main Villian, Main Stands don't have Power Graphs (Gold Experience, King Crimson, The World, Star Platinum, Killer Queen, Crazy Diamond, no idea why)
I have that data book. The reason why the main character and villians don't have power graphs right next to the name is because they got two whole pages dedicated to them while other characters get congested to just one page. On one page, it'll show about 3 pictures with the stand in action and basic info about it. On the second page, will show about 4 more random scenes of the stand's ability from the manga, the user, and the power graph.
-
Part II's finale was awesome, especially when everyone thought Josef was dead.
Now on to the supposedly awesome Part III
EDIT: Eeew…Higher Voltage's Part III looks terrible compared to Part I and II. Are any better looking subs available?
-
Yeah, Part 2 is awesome, I actually feel that was the peak of the series, but I haven't read Steel Ball Run yet, which I hear is also quite good. And those are the only scans available for part 3, so you'll have to make do with those. Demon Rin is working on part 3 with HQ releases, but they've only got one chapter out so far.
-
Ah, oh well. It's good enough.
-
I read Part I, II and some of III.
I REALLY liked the Part I. When I ended it, I was like "This manga should be more popular."
Part II I loved! Joseph is, by far, my favourite shonen main character. I was like "DA HELL??? HOW CAN THIS THING NOT BE POPULAR???"
When I was reading Part III, I was like "Oh… that's why -____-". I don't know, I just couldn't like it... it was just plain boring, so I quited.
What about Part IV and beyond? They are better than III? I am holding myself 'cause they keep the Stand thing instead of the Ripples and that just look like a violent version of Digimon to me, but when I look at the Falcon images of the characters, I really want to read it ;_;
-
Just read it. It's worth it just for the final battle. Jotaro vs Dio is one of the few fights that actually lives up to the hype and build-up.
-
@.access timeco.- IS YOU HIGH?! Dude just read it, the Dio vs. Jotaro fight is one of the coolest in shonen history….even tho the climax felt deus ex-machina-ish, but it's badass nontheless-
! Jotaro: "Dio, there is one simple reason why you lost; you pissed me off."

If you don't like Part III, you probably won't like any of the other parts after it.
My personal favorite parts are III and IV though.
Although I like Part I and II, (they are my favorites after III and IV) I still don't understand all the praise they get. I often read people acting like Ripple was somehow better and more original than Stands. I've always liked the idea of Stands, and as far as I know, JoJo's is one of the first to use that kind of idea.
JoJo's didn't really find it's own style until Part III in my opinion.

Part III and onwards gets a bit episodic, since it's really just FIGHT A STAND, GO TO ANOTHER CITY AND FIGHT A STAND, GO TO ANOTHER CITY AND FIGHT A STAND, ETC. But a lot of the Stands are really creative, especially shit like Hanged Man, Killer Queen, Sticky Fingers, etc.
The biggest flaw of Part IV is that Crazy Diamond doesn't look all that interesting. His design is obviously based off The World, but it's too similar. Kira is definitely one of the best villains in the series, though; it's worth reading Part IV just to see Killer Queen in action, especially since it's nowhere near as broken as The World or King Crimson.
Part V started out great, but it went to total shit near the end. Won't spoil anything for you, but let's just you get to see the most overpowered shit in the entire series. That, and the fact that Giorno can heal his own wounds is pretty dumb, seeing as how that was the biggest weakness of Josuke's Crazy Diamond.

This is the single most awesome part of Part 3.

That's true, but I always found the fights in III to be interesting. I don't think I ever got bored.

Hanged Man is probably my all time favorite stand (his appearance and ability speak to me).

Yeah, I really liked Kira. He's one of my favorite things about part IV.
I guess the reason I like III and IV so much has to do with the fact that I started with part III.

Yeah, the fights in Part III and onward are really amazing. Especially some of the ones in Part V.
-
So roughly, about how long is each part? I'm edging ever close to reading JoJo but I get intimidated just thinking about how long it'll be before I catch up.

Part 3 was what made the series into shonen. The rest, if you'd get it to current times, will easily be seinen [and a fucking good one at it].
But, like I said before, Part 3 isn't NEARLY as awesome without Parts 1&2 before it. It's what makes Dio as awesome as he is.
If you'd ask for my opinion on Parts 4&5.. eh. It seemed like Araki got slapped into his senses with Part 6, at least at the beginning of it. Part 4 was mainly like, school life with random Stands here and there, and then gathering most of them to fight one boss [though Kira's death was seriously out of nowhere]. Part 5 I just hate [with the top reason being inconsistent stuff, like removing Fugo simply because he was too strong].EDIT:
gaara, the Parts 1&2 are up to v12, then each Part is 16 volumes.. or something like that.. around that. Someone refresh my memory. -
There's too many stands I really like to even think about a "favorite."
Judgement, Hanged Man, Osiris, The Hand (I was pissed at how small of a role Okuyasu got), Pearl Jam, Highway Star, Superfly, Sex Pistols, Beach Boy, Grateful Dead, Mister President (har), and Heaven's Door.
There were some that had some cool concepts (Boy II Man, Moody Blues) but I wouldn't put them in my favorites.
-
Well, although parts I and II had lots of awesome stuff, I still don't think the series had anything really unique that set it apart from things like Fist of the North Star. They were still good though.
But like many people in the U.S., I first got into JoJo's because of the Capcom games based on part III (back in 1999/2000 or whenever it was). So I guess I'm kind of biased.
Of course, nowdays I know Stands don't seem all that original considering how many times similar ideas have been used in other comics and shows.
@Rai:
Part 4 was mainly like, school life with random Stands here and there,
See, that's another thing I liked about it. I've said this before, but it seemed like Araki was just having fun using a setting based on his hometown. I liked how sometimes it turned out the stand users weren't even enemies.
and then gathering most of them to fight one boss [though Kira's death was seriously out of nowhere].
Haha, I thought how Kira died was pretty neat. I just interpreted it as Araki going:
! "well, despite all the trouble he caused, in the end he was still a human and was killed by a vehicle".
-
Yeah, I really liked Part IV because the others seem insanely linear (especially 3), while IV's daily life angle made it more enjoyable.
-
Oh, and it really is hard to pick a favorite stand. But I went with Hanged Man because I've been reading part III again, and I realized how much I liked it.
But I'll probably remember another one I liked better later.

Yeah, Part IV was nice as a departure from what we had so far. Switching from an adventure based story to a character based story is a refreshing change of pace.
