I think that person may not actually have an uncle David who works at DavidProduction.

David Production must include a Megan Three Stallion reference in SBR. There is no other option.

...I am now being informed it's Megan THEE Stallion. What the gently caress.

Somebody on Tiktok is claiming to have found the Phantom Blood movie in their university archive. Obviously, big grain of salt from Tiktok, but the footage we have DID come from a university.

I watched a youtube video years ago about the phantom blood movie and there was someone in the comment section talking about going to taiwan because they thought they had a lead on the movie from a student/professor they knew

Nonzero chance this could be real

Can't get over the fact that the Phantom Blood movie removed Speedwagon despite him being essential to the story

Imagine adapting Les Miserables and cutting out Cosette

Valentine did a convoluted magic act with D4C to put three people in one place and have them all shoot Johnny at once, because he’s an rear end in a top hat

Well obviously when Polnareff's body died and the Coco Jumbo clone was able to absorb the original Coco Jumbo's spirit until Chariot Requiem was defeated and Coco Jumbo could return to his original body :P

entering the kitchen without washing your hands is an rear end in a top hat move so really that was just a proportionate response

Watching the anime now on Netflix. Loving this extravagant, ridiculous series. It's truly bizarre in all the right ways.

I love the refreshingly unique storytelling, at least what i've seen so far in Phantom Blood. Also love the rapid pace and short fights. It feels like an adventure more than a shounen!

That's the best thing about it! Part 3 is probably the most shounen-y of them, probably due to it helping to define the genre

Posting my thoughts and reactions after each arc just for fun!

PART 1: PHANTOM BLOOD

Thoughts: My mind is blown, this is an awesome ride, can't wait for 8 more arcs of this bizarre creativity. Excellent way to start a series.

Favourite parts:
- "TRICKY BOY!!!!"
- Frog punch
- Actually just about every single scene with Baron Zeppelli
- "He kicked me so hard I flew 50 meters into the air, but not so hard that my potential family would suffer. What a gentleman!!!" *resigns from a life of crime*
- Awesome ending
- Dio is so awesome as a villain, oh my god, wow. His introduction makes you sympathize with him at first before you fully grasp the depths of his depravity, making his arc much more believable and human. It's a refreshingly unique set up and I love it.
- BUT IT WAS ME, DIIIOOOO!
- MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA

lovely parts:
- Hamon is kind of meh but at least it has a refreshingly short, bizarre and to-the-point introduction.
- The Tarkus fight with the roof chains was a really uninteresting setup.
- Zombies were probably cooler 30 years ago when this was made.

The good news is that hamon is really only relevant for one more part, then becomes a total afterthought that’s only ever brought up again once.

I still wish hamon had stuck around in a minor role as a little joestar-only ace-up-the-sleeve

hell yes to your whole post but especially these.

Part 1 was sort of hard for me to get through the first time around, but since then and on subsequent re-viewings (and re-readings) it's really grown on me and it's one of my favorites now.

I'm excited for you to meet Joseph now in part 2, or as I like to think of him, the best jojo

Don't shoot him?

a general point of reference to keep in mind is that the series is like 35+ years old by now and some aspects of it actually WERE kind of novel back then when it was pretty new. other things that followed likely borrowed inspiration in some way and might make the original seem dated in comparison. hell, parts 7 and 8 have taken place across such a large chunk of time that anything from 1-6 is fairly old at this point.
