The manga is much better than the anime except for Phantom Blood.
It's a lot easier to gaze at Pillarbooty when you are the one who decides when it goes away, for example.

The anime is amazing, nonetheless.

Part 4 is the equal best part and while I understand wanting to jump in and carry on where the highly faithful anime leaves off, I think it's worth it to read everything else up to it first too.

Just found out he's voiced by the same guy that did Souther, and in the previous OVA by the now dead Kenji Utsumi (Raoh).

I haven't read that much of the manga, but I've looked up specific panels/moments for reference and honestly I'd be down with calling the anime definitive, if only because I really like the music and the series' absolutely ridiculous approach to colour. I mean, I generally prefer manga to anime because I read faster than anime runs, but if you look at like the end of part 2 it really just comes across as way more hype in the anime.

The only thing I really miss from the Part 1 manga that didn't make it into the anime were the iron rings that Tarkus trained with, I understand why they were cut out but it was really badass.

Well Jesus' real name was Joshua bar-Joseph, so he was a Jojo at the very least.

I'm half-tempted to link to that manga page of someone going "Some weird poo poo is happening".

Speaking of Phantom Blood, Jonathan ran away from Tarkus, so I guess running away is the Joestar Family Secret Technique. Joseph just made it cool.

Things have been quiet, but recently Viz was licensed to release "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation" merchandise, pretty much confirming that it's being localized.

I know this is kinda late in the game but I didn't see if anyone said anything about this....but is Joseph in the beginning of Stardust Crusaders wearing the Red Stone of Aja?

The Aja was a different shape and had a different casing. It's probably a stretch to say that is the Aja.

e: The Part 2 anime has it coloured light green in the airport scene right at the end too.

Especially if you stick to only watching the anime because, fingers crossed, we'll get to Vento Aureo and it'll get an actually legible (as legible as CrunchyRoll can be) translation.

I seriously don't get why NOBODY has retranslated part 5. They literally make poo poo up, it's the worst.

Edit: now that I actually google around it looks like there's one or two in-progress retranslations

i mentioned it before but someone is in the process right now. i guess it wasn't much of a priority before since what we have now is technically okay compared to other stuff that's been in worse shape, but at least it should be available at SOME point.

Somebody asked me what JoJo was yesterday and I told them it's about a bunch of glamourous guys who kill some vampires, then they kill some aztecs in the 1930's, and then they go globetrotting in the 1980's. I totally hosed up, thinking about it.

I should have just said "There's a bit where the good guys play poker TO THE DEATH."

You described it better than I did when my friend asked me what it was. "It's about manly men who do fabulous poses and punch vampires with the power of the sun."
