! Heaven DIO would look better if they removed the stars on his hands and the Upside Down V with his name off his face

At least he still knows how to pose.

Oh boy! It starts in April! That's half a year earlier than i expected. That's so awesome! Diamond is not Crash!

DIO

So Yugo Kanno is staying…

i just hope the OSTs he makes for Diamond is Unbreakable are Quality good like the Departure & Journey & World OSTs cause the Destination OST felt like he rushed on the majority of the tracks for it or the person in charge of the mixing of the tracks was like "F**k it, 3 of 4 is good enough"

now i wonder if we will see if 1 of the 3 opening musicians will return too or someone new

Demon Rin

I am so hyped for this! Stardust Crusaders was great, and it looks like the majority of the Staff will be the same!!!!

Poster looks very vectored. If that's an accurate depiction of the anime's art style and not a stylization I have no idea what that's going to look like in motion.

Wataru Hatano being replaced makes me :(

.access timeco.

Yeah, that Koichi got me worried.

RamistaR

Eeeh ? why would they change Rohan's seyuu ?

Kavern

There is a leaked scan on Twitter (sorry, I can't post it here) that announced that Joshu Higashikata will be playable in Eyes of Heaven. Weird choice since he've barely shown anything in the manga !

Translated comments:

! Comment from Naokatsu Tsuda (Director)We’ve finally made it to Part 4 of the anime version. JoJo is a project where each time I work on it, I’m always worried about whether we’ll be able to make the next part, but thanks in part to all of our fans’ support, I’m happy that the anime for part 4 has been greenlit. And, as always, my stomach’s in pain from all the stress…I’ll continue to put forth my utmost again with this production. My hope is to make this a series driven by even more JoJo-ness than before. Please look forward to experiencing Morioh Town with me!
! Cast Comment
! Josuke Higashikata: Yuki Ono
I am extremely honored to work on a title as well-loved and long-standing as JoJo. I’ll put all my energy into giving a GREAT performance as Josuke. Dorarararararara!!!!
! Koichi Hirose: Yuki Kaji
Congratulations on Part 4 getting greenlit! I absolutely love Morioh Town’s unique setting and atmosphere. I’m extremely happy to be able to be involved in the JoJo TV anime playing a role as important as Koichi. I’ll put my heart and soul into portraying his growth as a character. Thank you very much!
! Okuyasu Nijimura: Wataru Takagi
Taking up the torch from Part 3, I’d like to continue to wreak havoc so that everyone enjoys the show! I’ve heard that a lot of fans stand by Okuyasu so I’m beyond honored. Please continue to support us!
! Rohan Kishibe: Takahiro Sakurai
I’m Takahiro Sakurai and have been tasked with the role of Rohan Kishibe. Even amongst the beautifully diverse world of JoJo characters, Rohan is a character that sticks out with his strong personality. This role will be something of a personal challenge to test my range as an actor. Thank you very much.
! Jotaro Kujo: Daisuke Ono
To inherit JoJo’s history. To pass this history down to the next generation. I would like the meaning of the 承 (the “jo” in “Jotaro” which means to inherit) to be embodied through Part 4.

I really don't like the artstyle on that picture. It looks like something straight out of deviantart.

Leaked EOH DLC character guys.

Actual new EoH characters guys

Still no Foo Fighters :(

Joshu? I would 10 times prefer Cioccolota.

Ok, I don't care how much I hated the demo…

… there is no way I am not buying this game after this PV.

President Valentine's going to save the universe from Ultimate Warrior DIO.

Oh boy, there it is Silver Chariot Requiem.

maxterdexter

No, that's the work for the Best Girl, Tequila Joseph.

AfroSamurai

OMFG it's like 「Xenoverse」 but with JOJO. It is the HYPE. It is the HYPE REQUIEM. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL DUWANG. Praise DIO, Dio, Diego 'DIO' Brando, Alternate DIO and ANGEL DIO, and of course the immortal 「Araki」, for we have the ultimate jojo game!

mindless 「fangasm」 ensues

Dom64

Crossing my fingers it will get localized

Demon Rin

Yeah, EoH having an original story has me interested, but unlike ASB I'm still not sold on the gameplay…

I'll wait to see if we get it localized. ASB cost me ~$90 when including the shipping, and EoH would be roughly the same.
When ASB came out here we got it for $40. That's way more reasonable to me for something like this, plus, you can get the Japanese version of ASB on Amazon right now for like $15. (They even seemingly have the Limited Edition w/ Jotaro figure still for $60!)

So I'll wait and see. If the gameplay turns out to be crap and everyone pans it, I'll just watch the cutscenes on youtube. If It turns out at least decent and gets a $40 release here or the Japanese version drops down that low, I'll pick it up.

KageKageKing

Narancia and Fugo team attack should end with Fugo stabing Narancia with a fork and him not caring at all.

Or…

There is nothing to fear when FREEDOM is on your side.

You know what?

I'm actually thinking of reading Jojolion all the way from the beginning again.

I just feel that with the way it's written (as a mystery with fast action paced parts) I think that reading it all in one go would be a better experience. As well as brushing up on the things that I've completely forgotten about. Heh.

Wish me luck. It's gonna be a weird ride.

That's a weird way to spell bizarre, perhaps you should lay off the drugs

I read through Jojolion through the start of the stag beetle fight, and the whole time it was like I was on an acid trip. Truly this is a bizarre adventure.

Someone should totally make a manga about fighting bugs.

Still hyped that we're getting the Diamond is Unbreakable anime so early. Well, early compared to the wait that Stardust Crusaders was.

That being said, I'm pumped to see the PVs when they come on. It'll answer a few questions I've had ever since the announcement. One of those is the animation/style going to be vastly different? Because ever since the poster was shown I've been curious as to if it is the official art style.

Hard to know. I think DPro mentioned that they would do their best when it came to character design, so that the fans wouldn't feel the differences Araki's art went through the years so roughly.
Part 4 is probably the trickiest, since it's between 3 and 5, 2 massively different styles, and part 4 itself had a big metamorphosis through it's run. If you read something like Surface and then go straight to Enigma or Cheap Trick you will notice this.
Seriously, compare Rohan's design in Let's go to the mangaka's house and his design on Cheap Trick, for example.

The transition between early Steel Ball Run to late Steel Ball Run will be more noticeable.

From goofy orange-wedge noses to incredibly detailed teeth.

Dom64

I can only imagine people getting into Jojo while Vento Aureo anime is airing (seeing screencaps and all) and wonder if they're watching the same series once they start Phantom Blood.

Thegreato

Well, it's worth reading Jojolion again.

There's a ton of stuff that I had completely forgotten about. From story things, to little details like Yasuho's mother being a drunk.

Anyways, it's way more coherent to read it all in one go.

Speaking of Jojolion, when is the new chapter supposed to come out? Feels like it's about time.

There was a break last month.

Meanwhile lets take a look at the new vol cover.

Is that Soft&Wet?, I don't remember being so colorful?

Thegreato

One of the best things is that I'm getting a much better picture of Jo2suke than I had before.

Seeing how he acts from one event to the other gives him the distinct impression of being goofy as hell and very caring about his friends, but then switches gears over to a very intuitive and problem solving mindset coupled with a willingness to get mean when he gets pissed off enough. The end of the "FUN FUN FUN" fight showed that for sure.

In all, he is a fusion of Josuke, Kira, and Jotaro done in a very convincing way.

He's rapidly climbing his way up my favorite Jojos.

I don't either.

But then again, Akari on coloring is like the dunes of a desert. They constantly change.
