You'll regret it when you get to Part 7 and realize you should've had a Gyro avatar instead.

Yeah, I finished part 4 a while ago and loved the hell out of it too. Duwang was a fun town after the scenery changing so many times in Part 3.

Duwang isn't a setting. It's a state of mind.

Gyro an Johnny have the best relationship dynamics in all Jojo. They're just such good buddies (extra points to Johnny for being able to stand Gyro's occasional idiocy).

Best villain is still Kira. They guy just wants to have a peaceful life and to enjoy a picnic here and there with his girlfriend.

It`s funny that despite Kira`s goal of a peaceful life he lost because he was too loud and arrogant. Because when your goal is to remain unknown saying your full name all the time is not the best idea. Seriously he was only caught by Josuke because he could not shut up about how awesome "I Yoshikage Kira" was.

Valentine looked fat at the beginning of the part, but now he's not anymore ? When did he...

Araki decided to fab him up when he became the main villain.

JoJolion makes me realize that Araki realized he's published in a seinen magazine, so he can talk about even more bizarre stuff.
Like balls, dicks, tits.... Sequestrating people, rape ? :smith:
e: Even if he also did that by the end of SBR. Still, the part wasn't based around that

Far as I can tell, it's talking about the start time for the special Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency marathons they're doing over New Years.

God, Polnareff, your face is just so perfect in that headshot.

Joseph's eyes are like half the width of every other character's eyes, and it's weirding me out.

I was expecting the worst when the only thing we had to go by was that awful promotional shot of Jotaro, but this is making me feel a lot better. It's like the perfect update of part 3's style, especially Jotaro and Kakyoin. I'm hyped.

I just love that expression on Kakyoin's face whenever it appears. :allears:

This is going to be so great. I wonder if they'll leave out any trivial enemies, like the OVA did? They must adapt Oingo and Boingo, at least. Speaking of the OVA, I hope the voices are at least similar. If it did anything other then the final battle right, it was the voice acting.

I hope they crudely animate some of the Oingo Boingo comics pages. I know they're static comic pages, but still.

I'll bet the voice actors will be the same from ASB. Not really a fan of ASB's Polnareff or Oingo & Boingo, but everybody else sounds perfect.

What I like most about those designs is that Joseph actually looks like an older version of himself. Previous versions of older Joseph felt like different people, for whatever reason.

Those full-body poses lack fabulousness, but I am sure that won't be a problem in the show itself. Again, after part1, part3 is the least fabulous of them all (If you don't count Dio)

The full body shots are probably just from the character design sheets, which usually use neutral poses to show the basics of how a character looks, along with a few headshots in various expressions. Fancying it up with a Jojopose would complicate matters.

That being said, Avdol's totally got his "YES I AM" pose going on there. I can't say I really care for Jotaro's outfit being black, but that's such a small detail it doesn't really effect anything.

If David are gonna stick to their guns I think that we're gonna see Jotaro's outfit in every colour imaginable, so I'm not that concerned.

Also those designs are mostly hella sweet, but what's up with Kakyoin's face? It looks stretched out somehow.

Oh no, I'm not doubting David at all on pulling that again, it was a loving genius way to pay homage to Araki's coloring style. It just feels weird for Jotaro to be the character with the most consistent colors (Like he's blue in so much stuff) and he's gotten it changed for the anime, although I don't mind too much.

Maybe he'll get the blue one after the Wheel of Fortune fight.

Both is the only acceptable answer. Ugly Iggy can be done cutely, too, and I'd be disappointed if they went one way over the other.
