Anyway, I'm loving Part 6 and I can't understand how it ends up on the bottom of so many people's rankings of Jojo parts. I heard things get even better after the prison, so...???

arc 6 is genuinely up there but it does have stiff competition from parts 4, 7, and 8 at the very least which automatically puts it around the middle. in general most, if not all, of jojo's averages out above mediocre and ultimately you're going to be comparing cool things with great things and it's part of why making tier lists is kinda discouraged

Iwasuke is like a hyena and a rat Gappy'd together. The one thing he isn't is a dog.

didn't yasuho name josuke after a dog she said she had in her childhood? if she pulls out a photo at some point and araki draws it the same way as iwasuke i'll be too busy laughing to catch any plot point from that

She did, yeah. I don't remember if it was from fan-art or the real deal but there was a picture of it with Gappy's hat on at some point too.

It was one of those quick doodles in a text bubble to tell you who she's talking about. He's been doing that a lot in parts 7-8, though I remember him doing it a bit in part 6 too.

Ma'm, this isn't a dog. This is a sewer rat. And it has rabies.

I appreciate part 6 for being utterly bonkers, but I think it's my least favorite Jojo part. I don't really know why, outside of the ending killing off the whole series up to that point. I think it's mostly Florida.

I went ahead and got the Phantom Blood 1 book despite probably not really being able to afford it. It's pretty.

Here's a size comparison compared to the Stardust Crusader volumes you can get just incase anyone wanted to get a handle on the size of it.

My Phantom Blood 1 copy turned up today too. It feels extremely strange to be in England holding Jojo in my hands, it's such a handsome book.

Impressive.

I know this fight doesn't tend to hang with the "Greats" for a lot of people, but I like it just the same. Alessi's the best world-class weasel since Steely Dan.

Wanting to gently caress DIO is not limited by sexuality. It's as normal as gravity.

I expected this fight to last one and a half episode with the last five minutes being Hol Horse and DIO, but i dont think they can fit it in the next episode anymore.

I wasn't so crazy about this episode. I don't think the 5 minutes at the start recapping last week were super necessary and could have been used to put towards Shooting DIO. Very surprised they went with that. Probably the weakest of the Egypt eps to date, but still pretty good.

If someone is not gay for DIO, this may not be the series for them.

Yeah this episode was basically 2 chapters and a third. Maybe without any Iggy filler they could fit it?

At least next episode will have peperorerore

Interesting, in the previews last week the French subs used the "well done" translation for Alessi's catchphrase, but they went back to the one used in the French translation of the manga this week "you're/what a big boy (you are/I am)".

I prefer this one as it accentuates the creepiness.

Maybe "grown-up" would be a better term in English, rather than "big boy"? Telling kids they're grown-ups as a compliment, I mean.

VIZ Media translated it "Good boy," which is definitely the way to go I think.

Stardust Crusader's is easily the most erotic arc of Jojo's. The women's prison arc is among the least erotic. Hirohiko Araki is married to Asami, a lady, and is not gay.

Re: the anime thread, while I'm typically one of those schmucks who thinks the source material should rarely be deviated from, I would be pretty okay with David Productions changing things up so Alessi bumps into Joseph.

I'm praying for this to happen. Alessi gets the poo poo beaten out of him by Polnareff and Jotaro, escapes, tries to attack Joseph...
