Is it time to say "because Araki" yet?

@Bond:

Nah, it's very "zen" to make sense of seemingly nonsensical occurrences.
-
Simple. All stands are manifestations of psychic energy. Many of them "evolve." Geil's simply started as a rudimentary dome of energy!

How is the 2012 anime of JoJo?! Does it Follow the first 2 parts properly ?!
-
It's great.

It's quite awesome.

It's quite fabulous.

10/10 you shoud watch.

sex pistols = bullets (he says Bullets in the end of his GHA, no mention of full name)stray cat = feral cat
killer queen = deadly queen
bites the dust = bite the dust
enrico pucci = father pucchi
gold experience (requiem) = golden wind (requiem)
crazy diamond = shining diamond
jean pierre polnareff = jean pierre eiffel
beach boy = fisher man
red hot chili pepper = chili pepper
stone free = stone oceanApparently these are the official translation for ASB (they were revealed during a recent stream, i haven't watched it myself but have taken the information from another forum).
Jean Pierre Eiffel.
LoL. I don't know if I should be mad or not. -
huh, woulda expected it to be unbreakable diamond considering the other two JoJo stand name changes, but I guess they kept it going with "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"
-
It's honestly not as bad as it could be.
-
i did not realise that polnareff was a problem. It's like that in the viz manga right?
-
I've always wondered how Michel Polnareff became well-known enough that random manga writers know who he is and what he looks like.
-
Servicable, but inferior.
Hopefully, this means they can bring the anime over, with changed names and whatnot.
-
The Polnareff thing could just be an EU-only change. And the rep that attended the event said that the translations aren't final and is providing feedback from fans
-
They should've changed sex pistols to sechs pistols. Or buzzcocks would've been cool
-
Just saw the RAWs for the 30th Jojolion chapter… if Araki names this Stand "MC Hammer" I have officially found my favourite Jojolion Stand.
-
-
Just saw the trailer for Part 3 and it certainly caught me off guard; Jotaro's power, that is. I wonder how the Ripple evolved over time… at any rate, this will be a fun spring season.
Oh, and did I see Dio there? Yup, yup, this will be fun to watch.
-
So far, all of the previews have been great. Can it be April yet? I want to start watching this, already…
-
Just a quick question. I read the manga. Are the anime strictly made by the manga itself?

As of yet, the anime has yet to make any significant changes from the manga.

They skipped some of the early PB chapters and expanded on the backstory of the Pillar Man a bit, all in all very faithful.
Still no new ED announced for SC so far, though. Maybe we will actually keep Roundabout? I love that song and I wish we could get an entire ending sequence spanning all 6 initial parts to that song, but I'd still prefer an actual Dio song for this.
-
The contrast of the first thirty seconds of this preview is quite amazing. Also, I am finally feeling the soundtrack.

…are you trying to imply you haven't read the manga before?

You probably have heard this one: the ellipses you put at the end of your every post make you sound sad and tired even when you are trying to come off as excited and happy.
-
I really, really wish they'd keep every fight no matter how dumb and pointless it was but I don't think even David Production's insanely fast pacing will be enough to cover all of part 3 in 26 episodes.
-
This needs to be 39 episodes/3 cour long, otherwise we will miss out big time.
-
You honestly could show half of the fights in Stardust Crusaders into a single clipshow with no real elaboration and the plot wouldn't suffer for it.
-
Just give me Strenght and D'arby junior and i'll be happy.
Rapist Orangutang should always be animated.
-
I can't wait. After this ends, I'll probably devour parts 4 to 7 like my life depends on it.
-
I hope they animate Death 13 and The Sun properly.
-
@Cyan:

One thing I like about the dumber enemies is that they really put into context how intelligent the stronger ones are in a fight. @Nidhoeggr:

Death 13 was a cool stand that was ruined because of its user.
-
Jojolion 30 is up on batoto, for those of you still keeping up with it.
There's some elaboration and some answers on the mystery surrounding Part 8, but I feel like I can't still take the full picture yet. . .
This is some good riddle Araki is building up in here.
Oh, and new Stand Name + ability. Though the name is quite disappointing. The ability is ok.
-
Bit of a lame stand, to be honest. It essentially amounts to a sniffer dog.
-
Looks like we got our Joseph counterpart.
Old, cool and useless.
-
Ooh, ohh! What if Yagiyama's got himself a composite stand with multiple abilities?
-
This seems apt:
!
-
But then what he'd have traded it for ? Soft and Wet should be the prime example of composite stands and he still got one ability only.
…or does he ?
-
Wait were they implying that Noriosuke fused with his mother?
-
@Cyan:

I think what happened is that the mother brought Norisuke to the corpse, who pushed the desease out of him onto his mother. Like what happened with Jonhy and his wife and son.
-
It was implied that the ritual involves the wall eyes and that the land and ginkgo leaves absorbed the "push stuff around" ability of the corpse from the "Legend of Johnny Joestar" after it came to Japan and stayed after the Valentine's people took it back to America, as well as that this recent chapter here says that the ritual involves the same sorta equivalent exchange thing as mentioned by Jo2uke's sis, so it's unlikely it has anything to do with the physical corpse itself.
-
I'm in Part V and I have several questions: Is Notorious B.I.G. the same size as Sheer Heart Attack, are both indestructible and they both have a "conscience" ?
Another thing: Why Araki in part 5 was always showing the death scene for each villain ?
-

It seems to be indestructible, yes. As for the latter, even inanimate objects have the capacity for such a thing in the Jojo-verse, so I'd say yes.
Another thing: Why Araki in part 5 was always showing the death scene for each villain ?
Because the part 5 group has less qualms about killing, so their enemies end up dead.

Trailer for the new "Stardust Crusaders" anime that begins airing next Friday:
I'm really looking forward to this. This was the first part of JoJo that I ever read, since it was the only part of the manga localized here in the US.
-
Yeah, it's the Jotaro specific PV posted a few days ago. There are other character specific PVs if you haven't seen them yet.
-

Yeah, I've been browsing around and they look great. They're really nostalgic too. I still haven't seen the adaptations of Parts 1 and 2 yet though, planning on doing that soon.
-
Has anyone tried to drink like Jotaro?
-
Funny Valentine has.

If this is an April Fools joke (which it likely is) then it's a very very very cruel one.
-
God I hope they are just playing with us by posting it on apri 1st, to make us think it is a joke, but in reality it isn't.^^ I kinda doubt it though. :( Well we'll see how it turns out.
Okay it doesn't really has anything to do with jojo, but is is apforums april fools joke this year that the whole one piece manga thread missing? Not really a joke, but just a pain in the ass if you ask me. xD
