The cool thing about JoJo is it is full of great, intentional jokes. So you don’t even need to watch it ironically to think it’s hilarious!

Arakis just got a way with words that I appreciate. Most people would just have Joseph say that confronting DIO sent a chill down his spine but Araki says it "felt like someone shoved an icicle up my rear end"

"How many people have you killed already?"
"....How many loaves of bread have you eaten in your life?"

Part 4 had that painfully generic anime OP for a while there and that puts it at the bottom of the Jojo Part OP power rankings.
I mean... I can't disagree. Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town, while good, isn't as great as some others, especially in terms of distinct visuals, since it's mostly characters doing poses and flying through the screen. Obviously nothing against people who love chase, but it is my least favorite opening, even as a part of "we're getting closer to danger" narrative. It just feels like one of those edgy Sonic songs everybody makes fun of.

I would sincerely enjoy seeing more part 5 predictions based on the OP, because I love to see how well people can interpret foreshadowing, or how much non-existent foreshadowing they imagine / insert.
There is something that's been on my mind for awhile. It's a simple detail, so I won't spoiler it because there's no way in hell I'm right, but main theme has a weird glitchy effect at one part, which might relate to... something? Great Days had a similar thing going with it's sound effects, so maybe we'll get a villain who can corrupt reality somehow? The only thing that I can imagine is something like one of those videogame corruptions. I would say that Giorno turning into a pixelated mess is too weird, but we did have a dude who deflated a boat.
Of course Bloody Stream also had pauses and a few sound effects going, so I might be completely off. Still, hope they still change the opening like they did with DIO and Kira.
Or maybe it's petrification powers? There is a statue in OP and mural in ED. That feels closer, but considering it's the first opening and second ending, I doubt it.

It's like trying to predict a kid who plays pretend and just yells the most random poo poo, but drat it's fun.

Chase owns. I don't understand calling Like A Sonic Song. I honestly just think its anime fans that don't like punk music. The Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town OP is really boring in its visuals imo, but Chase has timing, Kira cutting his nails to the birds Shigechi feeding flying away, it has imagery, the road lines appearing over Aya and Yukako, the Sheer Heart Attack skull destroying the JoJo heart, the bloody suitcases in Kira's closet.

Chase owns!

I wouldn't call myself an anime fan at all, but I did prefer jazzy openings that came before. I was pretty surprised to see that it wasn't liked that much. The visuals are hella cool though, even if I needed some time to get used to them after every opening had like every color in each frame. I think another part of it was the fact that while story got darker, it wasn't that dark. It still had plenty of wacky staff happening. But again, that's just me.

It's not terrible but I remember being annoyed that Rohan says that he likes telling strong people no instead of people who think they're strong.

Like even in a hopeless situation where he's been pinned and is helpless Rohan still won't concede that they're tough.

At least they fixed it from "people I think are strong" which was like the exact opposite of what was going on

Also he doesn't refer to himself in the first person or use the phrase 'hot poo poo'. Just a very tepid, if eventually accurate interpretation of the line

I like Chase's visuals, and I like how it sounds. But I will always be disappointed with how short the full song is.

STAND PROUD I didn't like at first but when the full song came out with the sick riffs/solos and it being a decently long song, I absolutely fell in love with it.

I like all of part 4's openings not just for the songs and visuals themselves but how they progress.

CNBT: Fun weird kooky song showing everyone having fun in this wacky town, absolutely nothing can go wrong.

Chase: Intense shounen high school alt rock about nothing else than how the main character is gonna find and pulverize the villain

Great Days (my favorite): I don't even know what this is it sounds like a 50's sitcom theme or something but it's all about Kira and how he owns and why the gently caress is it backwards now

and yeah the best thing about JoJo OPs is that none of them forgettable which rules for something with eight openings, soon to be nine. I can hum all of them at any point, whereas something like My Hero Academia that has like half the amount I can't remember past the first one and barely that

I'm so glad I found this anime. It's important to take time each week to enjoy beautiful animens.

This is my favorite season so far! I have even held myself back from the manga so as not to spoil it... though it sounds like people found it confusing? Is there any chance the anime might change that? Also Fighting Gold is the best OP :colbert:

I have read most of the sixth part, and I really hope this studio does it as well!

So for the longest time, the only way to read Part 5 in English was through translations by people who had barely any grasp of Japanese, not even katakana. They mostly just made stuff up, a lot of personality was lost and some Stand abilities and events just made no loving sense (some stuff is still weird, but we'll get to that in a few months) making Part 5 a disliked series. It wasn't until Daxing Dan and JoJo's Colored Adventure actually put together a quality translation that English speaking fans really could get into Part 5.

So while, yeah, some Bizarre happens in Part 5 that makes Snakebrick look totally logical, the problems were intensely magnified by a bad translation

if you wanna talk about Part 6 while you read, here's the JoJo Manga thread where you can do that without spoiling anime only folx
