It's weird to look at like Kakyoin when he is introduced as a villain and how lovely his face and hair look and then you look like 10 chapters later and he's the best looking character in the group and the flashiest.

There's a panel in Phantom Blood I absolutely love where Jonathan's getting out of a carriage and the perspective's completely hosed, making his head look like a quarter of the size it should be

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
Araki's art is the best cause you can see a guy clearly trying his best, and he slowly grows to have a distinct style.

That said, he's kind of terrible at different body types. There aren't many characters that aren't lanky. When Diavolo is the buffest man you've drawn in like twenty years, something isn't right.

He was pretty good in Part 3 with one of the main characters being a black Muslim, but then you get to Part 6 and 7 and it's like what the gently caress happened. Part 6 has a lot of goblin looking motherfuckers in general, but any POC is just yikes.

I'll say that in far too many spaces, parts of Part 6 are super unintelligible in black and white, they're just crazy smudges and you dunno what just happened. Reading that again in color was a hundred times better.

I was going to post this in Baal's LP thread but then figured it might be too divorced from the LP topic, so here I am:

One of my favourite things about Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency that I think are less prominent in the future parts, is that almost all the fights either challenges involve huge narrative or personal stakes, or the hero straight curbstomping the villain (E.g. Jonathan vs DIO or Tarkus compared to Jonathan vs Doobie).

There might be some examples I'm misremembering that are counterarguments to this, but it seems refreshing when a show doesn't waste time drawing out fights where victory is inevitable, for the sake of, I don't know, anime melodrama and pointless powerups.

I like the A+ intelligence of the fight where the dude sends his Stand directly at the face of a guy he doesn't know the appearance of, while apparently being completely aware that there is a stand wielded by a guy called Azizi called BLACK TEMPLAR that controls fire and when it gets completely covered in flame he escapes with only a slight burn on his arm.
