It's only 400 yen for the JoJolion volumes. That's $3.67 right now.
The JoJonium I have was 1524 yen, which is $13.99.

So basically, they're super cheap but they also don't need translators or redrawers, so they don't always need extra work like a translated volume would.

So I think the prices we pay in the West is fair. I've paid the equivalent for my english JoJonium volumes for all of them so far, give or take. ~£9.80.


I'd bet they have DVRs but I'd be surprised if they didn't just download raws anyway if they want to keep a show.

Give me your friend's BURGERS and SANDWICHES, I'll put out the fire.

There's that atleast. Manga is relatively cheap to own. Do name DVDs get discounted like crazy or something? That's just insane.

Probably, even though you can get them for way less than £710.

There's also a 700,000 yen Giorno Seiko watch with the stand arrow as the hour hand on Amazon.jp

Then it's the MAGIC 39

but they supposedly said that nothing is being cut and the pacing is similar to SDC, so 39 isn't close to enough for DiU

I really loving hope they don't go back to SC pacing. Last episode was great with how little time was wasted. If they had strung it out over two episodes it wouldn't have been nearly as good. My favorite part of the episode was when they were waiting for Angelo to strike. I can't remember exactly how it was in the manga but you really got a sense that they had been waiting and nothing much was happening, and you were caught off guard by the realisation that he was making his move. All in the space of 10 seconds or so. That and the two scene transitions that skipped forward in time without you immediately realising. It was just a little thing but it really stood out to me how efficient they were being.

SDC's pacing was fine. i don't see how it's feasible to adapt Part 4 well with 9 fewer episodes when the manga is 16% longer

Episode ends as Josuke confronts Keicho and Jotaro talks about getting the bow before another The World is made

Partly into Niji Bros chapter 3, about half way through it.

There's 10 chapters in Nijimura bros. I have no idea how they'll get it all into 39 eps at this rate so there's probably more to it all than meets the eye so far.

They shouldn't have to rush the superior part while SDC gets extra airtime.

Precisely that.

SDC was stretched but it wasn't stretched to the point where it was probably 10 episodes longer than it should have been. DiU is longer with less eps.

You are worrying for the sake of worrying and this is coming from someone who is generally very negative on stuff that catches me even a little with adaptations to this series. It is not difficult to make Part 4 into 39 episodes, there's so many loving menial fights and events that just happen and don't string the narrative along in any important way throughout the whole part. It can all be condensed very easily into that amount of episodes.

Like I'd be more concerned with Part 5 and if they're going to go balls in on extra episodes like they did with SDC considering how popular that is.

I am worried that this adaption will not be as cool as it possibly can be if it's only 39 episodes, but I have no rock solid reasons for why I feel that way and instead it is a dull anxiety that bothers me every time it's brought up.

David has been knocking it out of the park so far (including with this episode, oh my god) and there are lots of little arcs that they could totally compress without losing anything. Off the top of my head, I Found Something Dangerous, Let's Go Hunting, Atom Heart Father, RPS Kid, and Enigma Boy are all great but also do-able in a single episode, episode and a half tops. At worst, they might skip over some subtleties and then we all get to yell at people to read the manga. I say this as someone who is quite obviously obsessed with part 4, too.

Somehow I didn't notice this. Between that and the creative reuse of SFX and the transitions and everything can I just preorder the whole English BD release already? Now? Immediately?

Really, a lot of the fights and events are realistically just one episode affairs anyway. The amount that really need to be multi-parters is a lot smaller than what we got with SDC. As cool as a lot of things are, they're not really long in practice and so as much of a shame as it would be to see Rohan Kishibe's Bizarre Adventure only be one episode it doesn't have enough content to fill beyond that.

I'm just curious on how they're going to pace the Kawajiri segments. Stray Cat's clearly going to be its own episode, but it's the other segments I'm thinking of here.
