My favorite part of Part 3 is not only does Steely Dan kill Enya and beat the poo poo out of Jotaro; he cons Joseph out of three bucks.

Also yeah I'd rather read the manga since it's not only faster to read than to sit down and watch 48 22 minute episodes, it's also better paced.

thank you for posting that Turn Down For Whammu, Dunkle Sans

I had somehow forgotten how awesome Battle Tendency was but that took me right back. the full scope of JoJo is too much perfection for a human mind to hold at any one time


manga readers, how does the anime for part 2 compare? I'm sure they're both brilliant but stuff like Joseph's voice actor and the music that plays when the Pillar Men awaken and when Kars ascends to Ultimate Mode is just so. drat. good.

Definitely Steely Dan. Rubber Soul at least engages his target in person.

Funnily enough since rubber soul was one of the guys to not be named until an art book years later, the manga translation (which used araki and rights holder approved names) renamed Steely Dan to Rubber Soul

Oh god, Dan absolutely. He's even worse than Rubber Soul because he kept trying to hold people hostage act like top poo poo, until he was literally licking Jotaro's shoes in forgiveness and trying to pay him off.

You're not doing anything to dissuade my position that DIO is the best, and also cool.

The only villain in Part 3 who could challenge Steely Dan in the dirty coward category is Alessi.

Part 3 is really good, the more I look back on it and re-read/watch, the more I appreciate it. At first I had it kinda low on my personal tier list, but now it might be my third favorite after 4 and 7.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and obviously people have been critiquing the art style for a while (though most of that is laughable but w/e) but yesterday was the first time I saw someone argue that the animation quality for this part was poorer than anything before.

Huh.

(Like 'part four is my favorite but why are you all pretending the quality is good, it's really bad')

In terms of objective animation quality like number of frames or fluidity of movement, Part 1 and 2 have got to be lower. They were basically slide shows 60% of the time.

As for style, art direction, and aesthetic, which is what really matters, they all crush it.

Does anyone have the Stand ranking chart with the... Axes? Vertices? translated? I'd like to know what the points being ranked are about. The smaller and more utility-based Stands seem to be higher ranked in the bottom and bottom-right while the more direct fighting-based Stands like Star Platinum seem to be higher ranked on the top points.

The stats here are

1. Retro-actively applied from the Part 5 era, so very much weren't in Araki's mind at all when he wrote Parts 3 and 4.
2. Not very telling besides.
3. Don't make much sense anyway. HP has a much longer range than Star Platinum.

Development Potential means "how many more ways can the user discover to use this" and some stands have high potential ratings and never show new tricks, so...


Don't over think them, or even consider them, really.

Begemot

The One True Oden

Yeah the ratings are basically just meaningless nerd bait and fodder for explanations of bullshit that Araki just makes up on the fly.

They're not important and nobody in the world of the show ever mentions them. It's not like the Speedwagon Foundation invents scanners in part 5.

Durability's a weird one too. You'd think that it means how much punishment a stand can take, but I think it has more to do with how potent the stand ability is?
