But I gotta give another hand to David Productions; this callback was pretty frickin' sweet.

That was awesome.

In other news, The World was beautifuly animated and the 20-meter radius Web looked gourgeous.
For some reason, the part with the web parts dropping in slow motion really stood out.

sabinis

Da Wuardoooo !!!

Great graphic and sound effect for it…

Next few episodes will be quite fantastic I guess. Maybe new animated JoJo part 3 isnt perfect but surely Dio part delivers all that I wanted.

Sander

Something to ponder:

Time and again the dashing vampiric rogue mentions the range of his stand as a caveat that he has to keep in mind while handsomely disposing of his enemies. However, his assassination of Kakyoin implies that he can kill or set up his kills well beyond the ten meter range within the alotted time limit. This means that he could have indeed slaughtered the crusaders by now and that neither dramatic car chases nor strategic launching of senators wasn't needed to ensure his victory. So, why?

Because Dio is a pompous dick, that's why.

He can also fly and have Super Saiyan aura because reasons.

While we know that he can stop time for a certain ammount of seconds, we were never told how much is the "cooldown".

Certantly he can't just keep on stopping it, or else he would have already won, he had to use the time stop charge of the room in order to escape the cofin and retreat into the shadows, as the room was already illuminated. While he can stop objects, the fact that he can still see, and be hurt by hamon during the stopped time means that light should be able to move, and that he would be killed by it. So, either he tries to kill everyone carrying the heavy lid, or he sets up the kill for the next time stop from the shadows.

Nukesaku didn't seem to have any issues with being in the coffin room and he was in the same position as Dio

maxterdexter

Dio is more sensitive to sunlight?

It's either a plothole, Dio wanted to play or Dio just couldn't kill them right then and there. Pick whatever explanation you want.

cloudrivera

I haven't caught up to the latest episode yet, but when i think of the World I think of this:

KageKageKing

Ordinary

So Kakyoin always had that funky hairdo?

Thegreato

I gotta admit, the one problem I have with seeing ZA WARUDO animated is how long everything takes. For instance, take a look that this scene. Dio can only stop time for 5 seconds….

5 seconds turns into over a minute.

And this was a bit of a problem in the manga for me as well; but at least in the manga I could make it more believable by imagining that the characters were thinking to themselves in the frozen time. But it's a nitpick and only a nitpick at that; plus we got these gems.

Sander

@KageKageKing:

Now I can see how he can reduce hardened renegades into moisture and make them pledge eternal loyalty to his supreme swagger.

Men, women, avians, primates and old bladed objects alike find themselves ensnared by his delicate sensuality,as he whispers sensually into their ears and installs vampire flesh thingies into their skulls, sensually.

No American senator will ever be the same after an encounter with this magneficent individual.

Truly, a man fit to stand~~on top of a steamroller parked~~on top of the world.

Kakyoin's death made me sad again, but this is what really made me lose it.

That was pretty drawn out, but to be fair, this happens in pretty much every anime. But a minute. Geez.

Was very happy with the mudas! Though Dio and Jotaro walking towards each other could have been a bit more fabulous.

Everyone knows that Dio fabulous time is much longer than an actual real life second

So, in the OP for Phantom Blood in the anime, Sono chi no Sadame, the voice at the beginning and end says "Jojo" 6 times.

! Jonathan + the 5 Jojos descended from him.

So reading this made me curious as to who Ben Diskin was. I am still skeptical of the Jojo dub, but I did watch some of his voice acting panels, he seems to have a decent range of voices, so hopefully he can do Joseph some justice.

No, each part has its own OST and composer. Though the 2nd season of Stardust Crusaders does reuse tracks from the first season.

That's right, what happened to Kakyoin's magical drawing ?

@RamistaR:

My interpretation of it is that the drawing didn't actually do anything. He just hit Jotaro with an Emerald in the exact place he slashed his leg with the pen on the drawing.

The Franky Tank

Decided to start watching the anime, and just finished episode three of the first season.

For some reason whenever I think of Dio, I think of Aizen done right, or basically, Aizen is a poor mans Dio. Sure, he has the supposed brains, but Dio gets to show it off and show that plans don't always go the way you want to. He's much more interesting because despite his intellect, he has the bad side of his father of drinking and bursts of anger. He a great villain because of those flaws.

I sometimes feel that Dio dying the first time would've been perfect. You have the idea of Dio being immortal, but Jonathan uses his smart to get past his ability to regenerate. Wouldn't have been very long, but I feel it would've been perfect up to that point. I still love the first part, but after this part it gets into the problems I have with the first part. Mainly Jonathon being the only one to really do anything. While the Ripple technique was cool, I feel the first part would've been better without it, by Dio dying a different way, and the ripple being learned about for part 2. Still, the Dio v Jonathon part at the end is still quite great.

I feel the anime did a superb job with the first three episodes. You got Dio built up as a scumbag, but you somehow can't completely hate him. Jonathon is a bit too much of a goody toosho, but he's likable and his inherent trust of people is a nice little flaw. I always love how Jonathon went from being below Dio in every way, to overpowering him in a fight, to Dio becoming dominant again, but guts and some brain pull through. I feel this is why I didn't care for part 3 and 5 as much since

! It's through gaining a hax power that the day is won. Sure, part two had the occurrence which the person was flung into space, but there was some strategy and some fighting against the two for a bit. In part three, Dio loses because Jotaro all of a sudden gets the time stop ability and does it better, and in Part 5, it's only a hax power coming from a plot device allowing for a win

Now on to the next episode.

I

I think the same, but with one of his pointy extentions (like when he kills Tower of Grey) instead of an ESplash

DIO

@RamistaR:

LoL I can't remember if I already ask this: Do they keep using the osts of previous seasons ?

Each Jojo has a different Composer

Jonathan - Hayato Matsuo (he did music for Hellsing Ultimate)
Joseph - Taku Iwasaki (composer did Soul Eater Music)
Jotaro - Yugo Kanno (did music for psycho pass)

So i feel that Each Jojo Story works well with different composers.

I wonder which music composers would be good for the next 5 Jojo's

Because here is how the music should be like for some of the future jojo

giorno - Itailan style with some gangster mixed in it
Johnny - western style
Jolyne - bring back Yugo Kanno and team him up with someone
Josuke -
Josuke (SBR) -

Now on to the next episode.

About the bold, I always it was funny when people say Jotaro does everything in SC when the zeppelis and Lisa Lisa were pretty much glorified jobbers in parts 1 and 2.

About your last paragraph, to be honest, the "haxs" was only during the last battles. These characters had plenty of time to showcase their brains during other fights.

! It actually felt good to see Dio got a taste of his own poison

While Stardust Crusader is on the lower end of my ranking of parts, I had to give it credit for others actually doing stuff. I was so disappointed with how the characters ended up working out in part 1 and 2. After watching episode 5, I appreciate Speedwagon for what he contributed despite having no power. However, Zepelli, Ceasar, and Lisa Lisa didn't get time to do anything, when they were shown to be more competent than the MC.

! I liked Dio getting a taste of his own medicine in a way, but I still would've preferred him getting taken out by non hax means. Especially with the team up, something could've been done to trick Dio and get him while distracted. After getting him some times, have Jotaro gain the power as a finisher or something along those lines.

I admit that I was disappointed that

! Polnareff didn't get to do more vs Dio, but I guess it was to showcase the power between the main character and the main villain.
Kakyoin and Joseph was kind of sacrificed to learn about his ability and then it would all be Jotaro.
Having Polnareff do something would either make the fight unbalanced because it would place Dio at disadvantage, or it could simply ruin the good impression Polnareff made during the entire part, in case he got destroyed.
Funnily enough, he screwed more than helped.
! I actually enjoyed the power battle, and I think it had a decent strategy part with the magazines and the magnets.

@Demon:

My interpretation is 'because Araki'

Well, actually it's most likely because Araki had originally tried to place more emphasis on Hierophant Green's ability to manipulate other people. For example, when he fights Jotaro, he was mind-controlling (or is it body-controlling?) that nurse, and he was waving around that puppet thing. So maybe him cutting Jotaro's leg in the painting would have hinted at his body-controlling abilities.

Of course, when Kakyoin became a good guy, controlling other people would not be a very heroic thing to do, so now there's more emphasis on the long range abilities.

@DIO:

Joseph - Taku Iwasaki (composer did Soul Eater Music)

Anyway, I'm reading through Part 4, and the new scanlation is really good.

But they couldn't not include this line.

The Franky Tank

So finished part 1 of the anime.

The fights against the knights weren't quite as good as I remembered it being. It was quite short overall as a manga, so it was never long to begin with. It helped in some cases, but the fights were overall short and had something to be desired. However, I still love it because of the whole Dio and Jonathon relationship. While filled with cheese (though all of JoJo is filled with Cheesy stuff, which is what I love about it), there are some great moments overall. I'll spoil the next part just to be safe, since it deals with both part 1 and 3.

! I am still conflicted with how part 1 ends, and with Dio being the villain again in Part 3. For me, Dio was a great villain in part 1. He had personality, flaws, and everything with him and Jonathon wrapped up quite well. I love the fact that Dio looked down on Jonathon until the end, where he got angry that Jonathon was insulted. Despite everything that happened between them, Jonathon felt some form of compassion at the end. Two people who were constantly at odds with each other end up dying with each other. Except part 3 comes in and ruins it for me. Dio was lucky again and was able to attach to Jonathon's body and becomes even stronger. While it can be argued it still fits the symbolism of their fates being tied, I just couldn't ever come to terms with it. In part 3, Dio was a looming figure for over 100 chapters, then all we get is him walking briskly for a number of chapters until Jotaro wins getting The World power. Dio was just a guy with a hax power in that part, and not a character to me.
! Dio worked well in part 1 because of the initial build-up of him. We came to hate him, but in some ways, you felt sorry for him. He did all these bad things with no remorse, but his life was pretty crap and had to deal with an abusive father for a long time. Not only that, the first number of chapters really build up the relationship of Dio being above Jonathon, but there is a time where Dio gets knocked down a few pegs. There's even the part where Jonathon is above Dio for that brief moment before Dio becomes a vampire. From there, it's a clash of good and evil, but the evil is at an advantage all the time. The climax I love, both the final fight and the boat scene, because it brings everything together in a nice package, where guts allows Jonathon to win the day, and that even after a good fight, the only way to win was through sacrifice.
! Part 3 stretched Dios luck too much for me, and just ruined the ending of part 1. I could somewhat deal with the luck aspect, but as mentioned earlier, Dio isn't a compelling villain. There's this whole idea that the Jostar family is his worst enemy, but really it was just Jonathon. They only have a connection from ancestors from before they were born, and because there is no direct connection of Dio and Jotaro/Joseph, I didn't really feel anything from the constant "we must defeat Dio". Dio just lacked presence for the most part. I will admit, he was intimidating because of his power, but I didn't get the same feelings about him like first part. There I had hate, some sympathy, respect, and impressed. In part three, I could say I was wondering how he would get defeated, and nothing else.

Perhaps when I get to watching part three my opinion will change.

While the Dio-Jonathan relationship was pretty strong in Part 1 and a reason why it's still a decent arc, I'd say that Part 3 takes it to a whole new level :ninja:

But really I think I like the part of DIO in Part 3 where he really is just intertwined with the Joestar destiny. Like it's that sort of long term implication that really seals the deal that he's kinda a big deal when it comes to the Joey Joestars. Of course, oither parts later on cement it even further (Giorno's whole existence, Pucci, Diego), but really I think the whole Dio assimilating Jonathan's body helps really tie everything together as "destiny"

! I think it comes down to bias on my part at the end of the day. Overall, Dio having something to do with most of the parts is quite interesting and cool. The fact that his personality was able to affect so many other people and is someone who is causing all these problems even after dying is a cool concept. I even like the idea that Jonathon, despite everything he did, failed in the end. The problem for me is, ever since I saw the scene of a dead Jonathon holding Dio's head, with them fated to die together was a powerful scene. Despite Dio taking Jonathon's body in the end making sense thematically and is a nice twist itself, I can't get past preferring Dio having died with Jonathon in part 1. Goes against all logic, but that's how I feel.

Hallwacker

I'm not sure what to think about the latest episode - there was ALOT of very ugly shots, this one in particular stood out for me

!

Sheep

Seems like it was drawn a little worse than usual, but they still nailed some moments, I assume this is where the blueray version will come in handy (which are apparently uncensored and fix some of those ugly shots?)
What I really liked was how they put The World in the opening song, genius :)

DIO

Yea I am sure they will fix up the moments that look lazy drawn for Bluray Version

Also….

Adding in DIO with The World was really cool for the intro.

So it seems the Final SC Epsiode is DIO's World part 16 to 18 plus the final chapter.

I just hope they add in a Tease of Josuke after the credits

What be a funny teaser for Diamond is Unbreakable would be Josuke looking at the water fountain and then you hear a guy make fun of Josuke's Hair, then Josuke tuns around and says "What the F**k did you say about my hair!"

Dio was unexpected as ever.

Well part 3 and the Hokuto anime were pretty much released back to back so it wouldn't be surprising that Araki got inspired.

Also Dio in the manga has lipstick from the beginning, they just took it away from the anime.

Well to counter that I would say that the reason being was because there was a lot of action in this episode. And even in productions with high budget and tallent such as this one, when something is in motion not everything is going to be "on model" for the sake of flow.

For instance here's a freeze frame I found of DIO with his second "ZA WARUDO!" with Joseph in the street.

TEH WURLD

The Franky Tank

Finished the Battle Tendency. Reminded me why Joseph is the best Jostar. That and the best part being the poses in all their glory. The bad guys aren't nearly as interesting as Dio, but they are still interesting in their own right. Still love how the villain gets defeated and his fate is one of my favorite things from the manga.
