Only KQ hands, but I guess you can use any other spares as "gf" ones.

Going off anime thread, i always thought that introducing two characters immediately before they are killed off was really sloppy from a pacing perspective, but if they move Cinderella to next week then that means quiet life and SHA are right next to each other which seems to ruin the pacing even more. If they are going to move stuff around they should have moved some filler arcs to space it out a bit, like moving Ratt later or moving Harvest and Cinderella earlier.

Yeah. It definitely seems like it'd either make more sense to have fiddled with the schedule further, or just leave it alone. Immediately finding Kira after he kills Shigechi kind of blows, and I prefer the pacing of new character dies over losing that downtime between in which Kira is still chasing hands. At least with the new characters almost immediately dying, you can chalk that up to it being a result of getting mixed up with the Joestars. Kira needs to believably be able to have a quiet life.

Bad change imo.
Better to have a gap between Shigechi dying and them taking a little while to find Kira.

Kira appears in the Diamond in the ED now and I think Stray Cat cameos. This ep is a bit quality.

Even though I want to see Kira right the gently caress now, I will tolerate one episode of Yukako

Although how the hell are they going to squeeze that into one episode, I recall it being pretty two-part sized

It's a good 6, it's going to be pretty poorly paced. This week was good, but quite cheaply drawn. Next week is probably going to be budget too. As long as Kira and Sheer Heart Attack is HQ, it works out but gently caress, I need Kira.

I'd be okay if next week is just a clipshow if we can get a solid 4 - 5 weeks of Kira.

I'd actually be okay if was a clipshow either way honestly, Cinderella is the last arc of Part 4 I'm not excited for

Maybe, but it's also not really two episodes' worth of material, and having 1.5 episodes of Cinderella followed by the start of Quiet Life would've been kind of weird, so David is kind of stuck. They'll probably just trim down some of the conversations. As long as they don't completely cut the funny but non-essential things like Yukako repeatedly disrupting traffic or Josuke nearly falling out a window in shock, I'm fine with that. The episode order change is weird, but people were bound to complain about pacing problems with this part of Part 4 no matter what, I think.

I think the changes are ok, no more insta death of characters right after they're introduced (though still very fast, but it should be less jarring.) and Quiet Life + Sheer Heart Attack doesn't seem that weird, there's a logical thread between the two

the only risk is a sheer overdose of Kira.

I guess it's good that we will have Shigechi around for another episode instead of him getting immediately offed, but I wish I didn't have to wait another week for Kira.

On the other hand

i mean, the argument for that never really entirely clicked with me because it's not like he's even going to be relevant in the episode gap between the end of harvest and quiet life. it's an unrelated event starring koichi and yukako that sets up another event entirely that also has nothing to do with shigechi

its kind of weird mostly because studio david is overwhelmingly loyal to the manga, it seems strange for them to decide to do something like this.

Yeah to be clear I only think it's weird because David hasn't really made a point of changing much from the source material beyond adding the occasional cameo, though I do kind of like that when the Kira stuff is split up, it feels more like he got his girlfriend back and got to enjoy some quiet life before SHA.

Shifting Shooting DIO!? is considerably less big but that's the other time they did it. Unless they add something like "Two weeks pass since the death of Shigechi", it's going to be a bit weird going from "we have a single clue to finding him" to "we have figured out the clue"

Johnny Joestar

shooting dio was also an event that took place in an entirely different place with two characters that weren't super relevant in the main plot with the protags at the time, so it was easier for them to shift it around a little. in this case it's a direct plot element that's supposed to be a bridge between events, so it's innately weirder.

Maybe they'll have him cameo in the episode like Yukako did in Harvest Part I? :shrug:

Edit: Josuke bit his lip in fear when he got caught in the lie about the ticket. :allears:

As far as clue goes it's not that hard to figure out, button from suit= let's find a tailor.

The whole fly thing in part 3 was more contrived

Also nice cameo by British Blue this week and Shigechi and Kira have appeared in the ending.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
So with the order change I guess that means it'll be a Kira-fest-stretch from Kira wants a quiet life to Kira's new life for six-ish episodes. That's a lot of Kira, which I respect.

It's pretty much what happens in the manga though, they find the tailor the day after Kira drop offs his coat.
