I think everyones looking forward to Beach Boy/Greatful Dead so theres no real reason to mention it here.

Which parts of Vento are gonna be the dopest animated?

White Album is a chase sequence for half of it so it should be great, but White Album is a bit of a no brainer to pick

Notorius BIG on the other hand, that one will REALLY benefit from being animated since its entirely about tension and pacing, the animators will be able to make Yashuo moving around slowly a whole lot more effective when everything is actually moving around. Spice Girls ability will look really nice with movement too.

i like the anime thread being like "wow mista seems competent and extremely useful, i bet 90% of the enemy stands from this point won't be completely immune to gunfire"

Norisuke's alright despite his poor parenting(in that his goal was to not have a bunch of entitled weirdos for a family)

Norisuke is cool tho

also yeah tsurugi is kind of hosed-up, though that's more because his stand power is horrifying and he isn't fully aware of just how bad it is due to being a literal child

Literally the next fight has Sale survive a gunshot to the head, so they'll learn fast.

don't worry mista shoots the bullet in his head with another bullet to penetrate his skull but not kill him?

I think mista ends up getting shot by his own bullets more than the bad guys do

What the anime watchers need to understand is that, while Mista is indeed a bad motherfucker, the baddest motherfucker in Bruno's squad is Bruno himself.

in mista's defense i think his bullets never working or just shooting himself is part of his charm

you can't help but root for him after the 5th time a dude throws up a force field and mista's bullets fly straight into his own ribcage

It's called Sex Pistols because they are overhyped and cause more damage to their friends than to their enemies.

the Pistols themselves actually contribute quite a bit and are the deciding factor in more than one fight

it's mista himself who has a problem with everyone being immune to bullets except himself and his allies

yeah don't get it twisted, I love mista, he just gets owned a lot. but goddamn he's gonna try to see if he can end the fight instantly with hot lead every time

and then carne comes along and mista feels real good about himself for about ten minutes

It's what I love about the series: The weirdo who goes on rants about language/metaphors to the point that he gets covered in sweat almost murks Giorno and Mista over GioGio going with a "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time :shrug:" winging-it plot.

but for real though if a person goes through all that effort to translate it that way i feel confident they're going to resist any attempts to 'westernize' the script even if it's how it's supposed to be parsed

I mean he's generally fairly strict about that unless he feels that Araki's actual stated intent is to romanize it in that way, though that does get fiddly like with Caato/Kaato or whatever. The point remains that we're talking about it at this very moment though actually since I'm pushing for it to go to Wu

Since I was up until 3am working on that chapter to help typeset in a rush to have it out on time today I guess I just get grouchy when that's the immediate big discussion point but I'm not saying the discussion itself is wholly without merit, just that it's not like it's some hivemind there or whatever

i do apologize if i'm posting like an rear end in a top hat about it, it was most likely too far. i'm just kind of resigned at this point to the weird and perpetual translation decisions that i'm sure are beyond what most of y'all could have sway over

It's cool, I'm just tired. :( I had to do that chapter and a chapter of another series we're doing in a mega rush so I'm just being grumpy. But yeah, I mean, you are correct in that the buck stops with Kewl himself on the way that stuff is stylized. I'll provide light editing suggestions to him if I have time to do so, I often just don't with the turnaround on these chapters - this one wasn't as bad but the last few have had turnarounds so fast that I'm honestly just kinda burned out on jojolion at the moment and am barely even doing my QC work on the same chapters for JJCA.
