I cannot abide a list that puts 5 at #1, I am sorry

It's got some good fights but the story is poopy

he wants to clean the drugs out of italy and become a gangstar. just a normal story about a guy and his pals. i like the ensemble a lot more than most other parts and its cool to see the jojo be powerful but also kinda take a back seat and let his bros do so much stuff. and im a sucker for a lot of the little moments like the 12 page muda and the dance and when they kick the guy outside the restaraunt. idk. great crew of friends. in 5.

I liked Part 4 a lot more in the anime adaption than the manga; I felt like the pacing was a little slow but it flowed a lot better in anime form.

part 4 refers to diamond is unbreakable right? i really loved the art style, what was wrong with the adaptation?

ive never read any of the jojo manga, so i can only speak generally but a) it looks like rear end, and b) after they find out there's a serial killer on the loose they still do a bunch of eps about loving with each other which seems very ???? on priorities

i always assumed given the weird style the whole thing took place inside of some stand users maniacal trap but as the season went on i figured it was just a art style transition.

the anime drags stuff out a lot so the later point feels way worse in the anime than in the manga imo.

They're kids. The only one whose actual job is investigating what's going on is Jotaro, which is what he's mostly doing off screen.

if you wind up not clicking with GxS, make sure you at least watch the El Dorado episode before dropping it

it's an episode about a team of washed-up literal mexican power rangers, it rules so hard

it depends. do you mean giant robot, or giant mecha? a piloted machine, or a self-aware sentient mechanical being?

if it's a self-aware creature, there's no doubt it's this fella. he says ONE LINE and is automatically one of the most badass transformers of all time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bcCKcXnJOU&hd=1

remember when High Noon Studios made a really amazing series of Transformers games using their own designs and reinvented lore, and then didn't get a chance to actually end the series and dissolved, leaving the series forever unfinished? boy that's a fuckin' shame I tell you hwat

I never did get around to playing the second Transformers game from them but the first one was really fun. I should get around to checking out the second.

I was about to make a steaming mad post about isekai but I realized something midway into it.

We're in an isekai bubble that might be tapering off in like two years, but I have no idea if any villainess games have been or are being made right now, can anyone say if there's any of that in the works? That said, how many isekai games are out there in general? I only know about Ni No Kuni, Forspoken, Genshin Impact sorta maybe?, Persona 3-5 might count, Kingdom Hearts, Young Souls and that Alice in Wonderland game.

the villainess genre is already kind of based on games considering its based on otome game tropes so thats a bit of an ouroboros.

remember in season 1 of digimon when they kept calling andromon "the strongest digimon" for no reason. i was always like drat, get andromon to solve this poo poo if hes so strong. then in tamers kentas guardmon digivolves into andromon and kid me lost his gourd. i was like oh poo poo, one of these kids has the strongest digimon andromon now, its a wrap for you d reaper. but then the normal protagonists and ryo just kinda did everything.
