Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

There, finished Phantom Blood.

I'm actually surprised how little was actually cut, yet it felt so much faster than the manga.

Bruford still demonstrating Real Recognize Real. Zeppeli's death WAY more brutal than I remembered. Tarkus owned. Jonathan even more obviously just Kenshiro when animated.

Teaser of Kars right at the end of episode 9 got me hyped for Battle Tendency.

So I'm starting in on early Stardust Crusaders...Jotaro is a complete rear end! old Joseph is the best JoJo.

Edit: I love the implication that Jotaro wasn't 100% sure that his Stand would stop the bullet.

Jotaro really grows on you, especially if you subscribe to the theory that he's always trying to think of awesome one-liners, and that's why he's so quiet. And he's really just a mama's boy at heart.

The cut to the ED when Zeppeli accepts his fate will always be iconic. One of the best anime moments period. God. :perfect:

Jotaro is a good lad who means well, he'd do anything to protect his family as we saw in part 3 and as we see in later parts.

i actually hated jotaro a lot when i first read the pt3 manga to the point of where i stopped really early but the anime sold me on him from the get-go
it probably has to do with his sick theme and voice
it took me until justice because i'm dumb but once i realized that jotaros entire schtick is that he just asspulls victories in the dumbest, most direct way possible i really started to like him

IT'S YA BOY
Holly inherited the "your next line is" thing from Joseph, and when Jotaro entered his rebellious phase he started throwing out random one-liners and gently caress you mom's to throw her off

Its why when he says "shut up, bitch!" Holly hears [I'm fine mom, don't worry about me]

He fell in the water one time and decided "Man I really want to just do this forever" and then he became a marine biologist and spent the rest of his life playing with dolphins and poo poo. That's just adorable.

it also helps to remember that jotaro is silent most of the time because he's trying to think of goony one liners for every situation

:yeah:

The Jojo community has been, in my experience, the most eager to embrace new fans of any franchise. When we tell you to read the manga, it isn't from a place of elitism, it's us asking you to come and join us in discussing the series as a whole and appreciating the quality this series has maintained up to the present.

I only got into JoJo like 2 years ago but I'm pretty much fully caught up (barring one part) and it's great being able to talk with people discovering the series for the first time and reliving that experience! Also more JoJo discussion is always welcome!

So why does Old Joseph hardly ever bother to use Hamon? He trots it out a couple times, but I would think it would supplement his Stand abilities quite well

Let's Survive
I read 1-5 back in 2007, killing time during the summer before my first year of college. It was so weird and good, but at that point, all I figured we were ever going to get was the OVAs.

Sometime in 2013, I'd heard that David Production was working Phantom Blood so I synced up with some buddies online and made a lifelong fan out of at least one of them.
Here we are in 2016.

Diamond is Unbreakable is being simulcast.
I can watch it with subtitles on my PlayStation, legally.

What did we do to deserve this? Could Araki be so benevolent?

He's got a few moves in the Capcom game that involve using Overdrive or hitting someone with ripple through Hermit Purple's vines.
