I cannot express how much better that episode was even than all the other great stuff before it. When Jotaro's theme started up, hot drat.

Also this was like a 'most creative use of punchghosts' montage.

The animation quality was so bad. They better have left enough of the budget for the last episode because this was honestly disappointing.

It was a bit shaky for Team DIO for a while, but we're favourites again going into the last episode.

I wasn't actually all too crazy for this episode, and it had a lot of QUALITY. That OP though...

e: Also, a small thing I've heard is correct (though I can't verify personally), but lost in the translation to English is that "The World, Toki wo tomare!" isn't DIO telling The World to stop time, it's DIO telling time itself to stop. Considering his god complex and how cocky it is, it's a small thing that characterises him really well.

There really was a lot of janky animation here and there in this one. Like when he's laughing after having his skull busted, any long distance dialogue shot.

Yes, because Toki wo tomare is agrammatical. You can't use the direct object particle "wo" with that form of the verb "tomaru". He's actually saying, Toki Yo, Tomare!, Time, (I command you)STOP!

When Dio sits up in the shop, and his face when he is about to chop Jotaro's head off and when he's crawling to the manhole look so bad it's comical.


Also, now people who thought Joseph was still alive can see why manga readers were so adamant he was dead. Didn't really want to say that it comes after Dio sucks out all his blood to go SSJ2 though.

He's completely right. Even as someone who loved this episode, the myriad of panning shots and cuts to the animation this episode were not good. The big points were still hit well, but when Dio was going for the manhole (Lol), it was like the most jarring thing in the loving world.

DIO and The World had a bunch of strangely drawn faces in this episode. I don't usually notice them, but a good number of them were stills instead of inbetween frames so they stood out.
They'll probably be fixed in the blurays like all the other weird faces though.

I don't watch a lot of anime that isn't JoJo so when I guess I'm a bit more susceptible to noticing when this one does go below par. It's still good for like 90% of the episode and doesn't detract greatly for me.

Here's a version of the gif with the zoom cut out for decent looping.

Fair point, DIO going for manholes should be the most natural thing in the world.

yeah some of the animation sucked hard, jotaro's face looked like a foot during the long shots and dio crawling to the manhole looked garbage, but this was top loving notch anime holy poo poo

The most natural thing in ZA WARUDO.

I also like that they kept all the details, like when Jotaro caved in Dio's skull and it switched to an X-Ray view, the little heart medallion was there, as if it was a part of his skull.
