I hope they either get "Get Back" for the ED this time around, or at least secure the rights for the last episode.

Not a chance, Mad Men producers paid 250 000 $ to use Tomorrow Never Knows, this is way over budget for any studio. Count on the fansubs.
By the way, are [gg] going to do Part 3?

I dunno about price, but I looked it up and it seems that Holy Diver was released in Japan under a record label parented by Universal. Roundabout was under the label of Atlantic whose parent company is Warner Records. Jojo is a Warner Brothers production, so... It's not looking good.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Pretty much the only reason I'd be excited for a live action JJBA movie would be that they could probably spring the licensing for the relevant songs, especially if they could play Holy Diver during the final leg of the Jotaro vs. Dio fight.

I seriously think that Part 4 can be easily adapted in a Buffy/Smallville-like show. Jojo is less outlandish than Heroes, thats for sure.

Stardust Shooters is out for iOS and android devices now for those who care about it. It's kind of Beyblade-esque in that you pull the medal back and just fire it at other medals as it bounces around the stage. It's got extra RPG gimmicks, the usual phone game pay for more stuff, and it covers up to Part 3. You have like 3 starter pins you can choose from (Jotaro, Jonathan, Joseph), it's got extra modes that let you collect more pins of other characters and miscellaneous goons, and it has Speedwagon giving instructions because that seems to be his job in JoJo games from now on.

I was talking to a friend about part 8 and it made me realize that I'm not quite sure if Araki can really..Do a mystery. I really enjoy it so far but Araki's constant retcons seem like it'll really hurt it a lot since you have no way of knowing if a clue will be entirely forgotten or something new will be pulled out of thin air to answer for things.


Not that it's going to stop me from reading it or that it won't be an entertaining ride but half the fun of mysteries are trying to figure out the stuff on your own, in my opinion. which might not be doable here.


Of course this is only if it actually remains a mystery and it isn't just how it starts, so only time will tell.

The mystery is how Araki's mind works. While you are halfway there, the remaining part is looping and twisting around its own axis into infinity.

Well, with Steel Ball Run, Araki actually provided a mostly consistent narrative, so maybe he's gotten better about keeping some sticky notes around.

Oh yeah all those helpful instructions like "MR.JOESTAR DIO IS A BAD GUY." The only thing Speedwagon says that is informative in Part 1 is where Wang Chung's shop is, after that he's just meant to be Jonathan's retainer.

Yeah, about the only thing Araki does in SBR that might be a mistake is Valentine's body changing all of a sudden and even that can be explained rather reasonably in the context of the story. SBR is legitimately the first time the series has had a focused story from start to finish and it's great.

Some of the changes for the English release of ASB:

Crazy Diamond -> Shining Diamond
Killer Queen -> Deadly Queen
Stray Cat -> Feral Cat
Gold Experience -> Golden Wind
Beach Boy -> Fisher Man
Stone Free -> Stone Ocean
Pucci -> Pucchi (this one might not be a change. I don't know what the official English spelling Araki chose was)

Characters that use their official names that fans rarely use are Wamuu, Esidisi, Kars, and Ermes Costello.

Nope, so even though the subs say otherwise, Josuke is saying Crazy Diamond.

One silly one is Bite the Dust. I wonder why they didn't just slightly change all of them, instead of going for some weirdly different ones.

You are not being serious, this one is actually bad. Like some of those other ones are just innocuous or mediocre, I maintain Shining Diamond is a fine name change, but Polnareff to Eiffel is seriously bad.


MelvinBison posted:

Of course they're not, it's Namco-Bandai. This is the same company that doesn't want to put money into getting the One Piece games dubbed because of reasoning such as "The fans won't listen to the dub" and then they proceed to do a lovely job at actually translating it so there's grammatical and spelling errors everywhere. They put such little effort in these localizations, so they can make their money back with no problem.

It's weird that they even had to change Stray Cat, if the stand's name was "The Stray Cats" it might be an issue but at this point it's just a phrase that's been in common usage for probably hundreds of years.

I mean seriously, how is it that back in the late 90s Capcom was cool with having that name when it was much more likely to be slapped for copyrights and the manga was fine with it in 2005-2012, but in 2014 we can't do Polnareff?

Plus I doubt the band by that name would be petty enough to sue anybody for name-dropping them. They'd probably be delighted (which is, of course, the correct response to appearing in Jojo).
