Hasn't been posted in this thread in a while I think, so now seems like a good time to get us pumped for the anime!
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

-
It's most likely an April Fool's joke: http://www.crunchyroll.com/jojo
Besides, why would they use a season 1 banner when Stardust Crusaders is only a few days(!) away? -
Because they would start at the begining.
-
The page doesn't even exist anymore…I think Crunchyroll tried pull a JoJoke on us. I would love to be wrong though.
-
The page never went up to begin with. Just the announcement thread.
-
Good thing this was not a April Fools Day joke (that would have been very cruel): http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-04-02/crunchyroll/jojo-bizarre-adventure-manga-and-anime-announced

I don't think anime news network knows any better than the rest of us, considering crunchyroll still hasn't added it to the simulcast page or clarified anything themselves
-
I think it's legit, because wouldn't it made more sense for cr to use some way more popular mainstream anime to make such a joke, instead of jojo. While it is a very great series, I don't think many of the fans of let's say attack on titan or sao would know it or really care.
-
I feel like they were doing a reverse prank by not putting up the page and having people fret over the lack of a page, because it's up now: http://www.crunchyroll.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure
-
Thank god. Also HYPE!!!
-
Yes! The more availability and exposure it gets the better. Oh wow and it's wordwide, hell yeah. Except japan, since it sells well there they probably don't wanna make it watchable for them.
-
Nice! So the first episode of Stardust Crusaders will be up Friday at 9:30. I'm so relieved, I thought I'd have to wait a few days for a fansub that may or may not have even been coming.
Let the countdown begin! HYPE!!
-
The april fool was the idea that the broadcast was an april fool. Genius! Joseph would be proud.
-
Tonight's the night, right? Is anyone else majorly excited?

I'm so excited my stand decided to inhabit the body of a new avatar to celebrate the occasion~
Does anyone know what channel and when it airs? I wanna try watching it on an honest-to-god TV
-
I can't wait to see it.
And I barely watch anime, I'm more into reading stuff. :P -

Dunno really, but I'm sure this place got that info
http://jojo-animation.com/I can't read it, but I know you can.
-
Sander, Smiley, you my peeps
-

-

It airs at 11:30 A.M. EDT (about 2 and a half hours from now).
It'll likely stream here: http://www.justin.tv/cc0721saki
-
Me? Excited? Naww. What's that about an avatar to celebrate it? Nah you must be seeing things.
-
I wonder if the opening will be as epic and fabulous as Bloody Stream.
-
So which moments are we most looking forward to? Mine have to be the Steely Down beatdown (which they should have go on for a full minute lol), Jotaro's bluff, Polnareff licking a toilet, Kakyoin feeding shit to a baby and the fabulous duo of Hol Horse and Oingo Boingo.
-
No opening or ending this episode
-
Whelp, that was pretty awesome.
-
Every time I see this thread I kind of want to get into jojo just haven't found the right timing to get into it or the right mood.
It doesn't help that the drawing style doesn't instantly suck me in. These over the top interpretation of "manly" design that toriko and jojo employ aren't doing it for me. -

These over the top interpretation of "manly" design that toriko and jojo employ aren't doing it for me.In the beginning yeah, from parts 1-3 JoJo uses the same sorta style as general 80's manly man manga, and Toriko kinda emulates that to a degree, but for JoJo eventually Araki adapted it to his own style to the point that he can't draw characters in the old style anymore (which is a bit disappointing for the large compilation volumes but oh well.
In JoJo's 25ish year long history, body builds have gone from

-
Oh it started while I was at work. :/
Oh well, I can watch later. -
Wow that's quite the shift. Well that will definitely help.
Now I just have to find the right timing to get into.
This series seems pretty big and I've been curious about it for quite a while to see what's so special about it. -
Wow, just saw the livestream for the first SC episode and the budget is AWESOME.

Kakyoin feeding shit to a baby.
I don't know who this Kakyoin fellow is, but he sounds interesting.

I can't wait to watch it :]
-
I'm going to be watching the episode tonight, but Crunchyroll has the first SC episode up, along with the entirety of Phantom Blood as well.
-
Great episode. The animation is so good compared to last season that I'm worried if they're going to be able to keep it up during all of SC.
Anyway, I'm expecting to see the opening or ending next week. -
Any subs out yet?
-
@Thousand:
Any subs out yet?
Crunchyroll: http://www.crunchyroll.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure/episode-1-652155
Well… not free until next week.
-
This is off to a good start, what an animation.
-
Awesome first episode, so I guess we don't get an opening until next week?
-
Great start for this EPIC series! :)
Can't wait for more! -
Still didn't watch but Horriblesubs are most of the time okay.
-
HorribleSubs are Crunchyroll subs
-
Holy shit at that animation bump. The difference in budget compared to the previous series is really, really apparent.
Really hope they keep this up.
-
Any site I can use to watch it online for free? subbed of course.
Please, I just got back home from work and nothing would be better than some Jojo awesomeness at the moment.

Those salvage guys are literally the most important characters in Jojo.

Jut think about it for a second, what they had opened the coffin a couple of hours earlier, while the sun was still up? Dio sure dodged a bullet on that one.
-
Oh and Jotaro's reading Baoh.

@Cyan:

Hah! I was thinking that while watching the live stream.
Imagine a world where those salvage guys didn't find Dio. Even by the time Jolyne were around in 2012, Dio would still be blowing bubbles underwater and Pucci wouldn't know the feeling of Dio's bone.
