Looking at DIO here, I'm wondering how Steely Dan survived getting pummeled for 10 seconds straight. He didn't give Jotaro a lot of reasons to go easy on him.

Did he survive?
A lot of the earlier enemies straight up die.

The narration said he was retired instead of dead, so I assume he barely hung on.

Steely Dan isn't necessarily dead, but I doubt he's up to much these days.

Dude's probably wrapped up like King Tut.

In the current translations at least, doesn't Stone Ocean start playing around with how time-stop works, saying it's not actually stopping time and is a result of the super precision and speed.

I recall some kind of retcon-y nonsense going on there and I'm trying to find it.

e: I can't see it from the time he shows back up to him dying in the coloured scans, so it's either at the start (unlikely) or I read it somewhere else. (most likely).

I think it might be the opposite, where the super speed and precision is a result of the time stop. But that is a fan theory as far as I know.

Some early episodes had some really great animation like the ebony devil fight, I guess that's the problem with long running series with a small budget.

He's a geologist and paleontologist, so he either got his PhD in both of those or he just likes being called a doctor. :v:

Someone on MAL said that The World having all of the Joestar's abilities would make sense considering that he was able to heal (via Crazy Diamond) Pucci's messed up foot.

I'm not sure I buy that, but do we ever get an explanation of how Dio did that?

It can't be a Crazy Diamond-like ability because Pucci always had that messed up foot. I just chalked it up to his vampire abilities because it's just boils down to total cellular control over the body and he's so good at that he can just extend it to others. Plus, it looks like he did a laying-on-of-hands in front of a priest, so y'know.

The latest OP was incredible, omg.

To elaborate on that, I kind of wish they kept that line and drop some of the other metaphors that happen all throughout the story (they did drop that one and the one where Dio says "maybe all streets look the same to a traveler like yourself") but sometimes it felt Koyasu spoke super fast to go through all that dialogue.

I don't remember any other point in Jojo where one third of the dialogue is metaphors.

This really isn't how anime budgets work, and unless the scheduling was an absolute unmitigated disaster, production for the second season of SC would've already been well underway before sales numbers for the first ever came out. Fact of the matter is, David's a pretty small studio and have never done a four cour series before, they were probably ill-prepared for how taxing a project that large can be, even with the split cour format.

That makes sense, what they're doing is pretty good so I'm hoping they follow up with Part IV.

It happens with a LOT of shows. Remember, the only thing worth the the pot pissed in that David Pro did before Jojo was Ben-to! The fact that they obviously adore the original material shines through, and it's just a matter of the physical constraints of week to week show deliveries that's making the stills jank. They'll be touched up for bluray, as has been said.

As a personal aside, I always found a LOT of araki art to be kinda hosed up, so as fun as it is to see DP put in some of the more iconic weirdness on purpose, I think it's totally appropriate that some of their poo poo gets funky as hell on a deadline.

i don't think there's any anime news. people got cast for Part 4 characters for ASB and manga commercials, but there's no guarantee they'll keep them for an anime.

I kinda hope there's a brief snippet of Jotaro finding The Pathway to Heaven, though I understand if there wouldn't be. You'd have to expect the viewers to remember that for two parts.

Considering I'd previously resigned myself to Jojo never getting a proper adaptation, a year or two still qualifies as soon.

It's the same VA in EoH, which is going to lengths to line up with the anime, so when Part 4 is confirmed next week :pray:, it'll be the same guy.

His voice wasn't really what I expected of Josuke at all. The first time you see him, Josuke is really timid, so the idea of him being really tough sounding has never really stuck with me.
