I'm not gonna lie, I want those converses too, but just because I want anime on my feet and I have awful taste in shoes. I know one of the people who gets stuff for CR's store. I am going to point her in the direction of those cube trays.

Pity, they had a lot of great t-shirt designs made by Araki.  They are also loving expensive at 5k yen a piece. They're also limited prints so good luck with finding any anymore. I bought mine from an alternative clothing store in Nakano broadway last year, in the same building that Mandarake and other comics/toy stores reside. If anyone is going to Tokyo I recommend checking the place out.E: 5000, not 50000.

Okay, I was thinking about starting this project, and I wanted to run this by you guys first. I want to gather up tons of fan art and letters from western Jojo fans, put 'em in a big box, and send them to Araki to show support from western fans. I think it would make him happy. It would make me happy if I had a comic and got tons of fan mail from different countries. What do you guys think? Good idea or absolutely stupid? I keep going back and forth on it.

He probably already gets enough fanmail from Western fans to know JoJo's appreciated here. Volcano Style, I don't have PMs, but I'd like to get in on the JoJo RPG goodness. Do you have a throwaway/nonpersonal email I could contact you through instead?

Sure thing. It's volcanostyle@gmail.com. You can probably find me just if you search for my username on Skype, it's the same as the forums. Also, are JoJo figures usually ridiculously expensive? I picked up two figures of Narancia and Mista in a £5 grab bag from a random stall at a local convention and turns out they're worth $25 each.

Depends on the quality of the figure really. I've gotten some nice Gappy and Mista figures with tons of possibility and extra parts for about 70 bucks each. I also grabbed a Bruno a while back that wasn't the highest quality in the world, but his arms and legs are held together by magnets which I found hilarious and I currently use his body parts as fridge decorations - picked that one up for like 50 maybe? So yeah you probably got a really good deal.

I finally got back to reading SBR, and I really like the characters so far. Wikapipo's effect is really cool. It's been a while so it never occurred to me other families would use the steel balls in different ways. I do think my favorite so far is Civil War, the sin related effects and Axl's design are interesting. The revaluation when Johnny shot him was nuts though.Volcano Style posted:Sure thing.

Isn't Rohan also an anti-social, arrogant douchebag? I am pretty sure Araki is on record saying that Rohan isn't based on him at all in the first place.

Raws should be coming out within the next few days, I think the soonest I've seen a chapter come out is the 19th.

Ultra Jump comes out on the 19th, which means you should expect it sometime this week.

I've been really enjoying the current season of the anime. It's also the first anime I've been watching consistently in forever. Has anyone got any recommendations for another show that's pretty similar, and preferably new?

Doesn't England have more lax copyright laws than the United States? Maybe they could publish there to have it in English but without mangling most of the names.

I don't even understand why song name references are so bad that musicians would file a lawsuit over them. I mean, it's a reference. He didn't steal their songs or anything, he just gave a ghost that punches people a name that refers to them or their music. You figure they'd profit from the free advertisement.
