That better not be a derisive whoa  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VmD0hjQFhs So navigating it is a mess and what I was a little more worried about is true: the subtitles you saw on crunchyroll aren't there for the Japanese language version so it's a different deal. So if you're getting it you're getting it solely for the dub/to support Jojo I guess. I'll still hang in there with the preorder because I prefer subs but won't mind a dub of this even if I cannot stand whoever they picked for Kars. They did it. They found a way to de-sexify Kars Okuyasu Nijimura fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Sep 17, 2015 |

Yeah, the Statue Legend is a different series to Super Action Statue. The easel you have the Rohan book is pretty genius too. I need to stop being poor so I can get more JoJo things already.

Wtf, why is this DVD so bad? Like, I'm actually confused why it's this poorly put together. If it were just menu problems fine, but you can't continuously watch it and the subs are just dub subtitles? I'll just wait for a potential blu-ray I guess.

What's wrong with dub subtitles?

There's nothing wrong with dub subtitles, but changing around dialogue so it fits English sentence structure for someone to speak and accommodating for lip flaps make it so the dub script and a translated script turn out very differently. So it helps to have English subtitles with a different script in general to accommodate for the change in language. Most home releases don't come with dub subtitles unfortunately and as nice as it is to have them on here, it does not change that there should still be separate subtitles for the Japanese track. At the end of the day, the dub is going to convey what the Japanese track does come hell or high water, but it has to make accommodations for that while subtitled dialogue does not.

I wonder if they're not allowed to use the Crunchy Roll subtitles for the DVD because obviously, there's an officially available version of PB/BT with subs that are translations of the Japanese.

Sometimes the dub and the sub are completely different too. I doubt JoJo's will have that problem, but it's pretty amusing when it happens. Some friends and I watched the dub of the CGI "Captain Harlock" movie on Netflix one day while the subtitles were on and the difference in content was pretty astounding. I thought dubs that badly re-written had gone away, but I guess not.

Just finished reading part 6, here are some unsolicited Jojo thoughts (spoilered in case anyone in this thread cares): This was much better than part 5, I'm sure someone who is better at analysing comics than I could give you more coherent reasons, but when some bullshit thing happened in part 5 it was generally confusing and didn't add much to what was going on, whereas when some similarly bullshit thing happened in part 6 my response was generally "Haha, yes!". Stand powers were generally more interesting, and more consistently applied. I'm not sure the final boss needed two stand upgrades; the gravity power would have been a fun fight that wasn't yet another time trick. (But I guess they wanted that retcon). Characters: Jojo VI is a Good Jojo and the rest of the "team" were just zany enough to make it work. Having an autonomous stand as an actual character was cool (FF should have survived, drat it - I guess she never existed in the new timeline) as was letting the Speedwagon analogue kill the main villain. Working hypothesis: the Star Trek movie rule applies - even numbered Jojos are the best Jojos

P.S. Jotaro seems to look younger every time we see him. Isn't he about 40 by part 6? Was Jolyne spelling her surname "Cujoh" something the translators added?

That's how her name is spelled officially, most likely because she's American compared to Jotaro.

I wasn't sure if she was actually reading it for the first time or just adopting that conceit as it was easier to write about/share with others in that way until she recently mentioned where she left off on her first attempt. Lots of things she's said previously are things where I thought "that's a cute stealth way of hinting at X thing that happens later" or "hah that thing she casually dropped is reminiscent of this other thing."

FirstAidKite posted:It will be funny when she gets to the chapter where the "dark foil" to josuke gets really fuckin excited about some free binoculars I think our fawning over Okuyasu has tipped her off to the fact that there's more to that goofball than meets the eye. Actually is it really in character that her libertarian-joke dude is the fiscally responsible sort who puts money away into savings after a sudden windfall? Maybe that part is so she won't be surprised.

Punching spaghetti, turning Enigma Boy into a book, everything about Rohan, the entirety of Highway Star, RPS Kid... Oh man, I need to re-read Part 4. I can think of, like, twenty things off the top of my head that would be really great to show someone just going into it.

Dio didn't seem to put the flesh bud into most of these assholes though. I'm guessing he only did it with people who weren't already evil assholes, and other than maybe Boingo, that describes pretty much every enemy the Crusaders run into.

I mean, if he put a flesh bud in Enya I feel like there's probably no rule in terms of who'd be given it otherwise, except I can't imagine even he would stoop so low as to do it to Mannish Boy. I can't imagine he'd have NEEDED to. I'd reckon anyone closer to him probably had it as a safety mechanism and I'm just going to pray that Alessi had it, too, just because I want to think of Alessi suffering a whole hell of a lot. I feel like the D'arby bros had it.

New EoH trailer (the Rohan talking kind) with TONIO TRUSSARDI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvKQ4EbMPU8 e: Rohan on the motorcycle, any flying character, DIO and Dio and DIO and Giorno tag teams are extremely cool and I'm sad the game won't be nearly as good as it ought to be to make the most of this cool stuff. Also Josuke/Okuyasu DORARARARARA'ing people as a team attack.  Weather turning people into snails is a thing too and I love it.  YES 15 seconds or so of team attack commericial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz0AqQXmpjo  Seems like the story is DIO/Pucci resurrecting dead goodies or something? JoJolion spoilers are also out but I've not seen any easy to read so w/e here's the usual place http://araki100p.web.fc2.com/jojolion047.html 25 pages only, apparently.

This game is actually more appealing to me now that all this new character team attack stuff is in it on top of a new story mode and a bunch of other cool stuff. I mean it still doesn't look good, but if it goes on sale in America and at some point drops to 30 bucks I may consider giving it a look. Oh and the fact that it has, loving PART 4 JOTARO. How the hell did ASB never have that one thing for all of the loving costumes it had?

It probably still doesn't have part 6 Jotaro though, even though it's just literally a recolour, just like the part 4 one is. I love that both Kiras have a team-up too. I wish it played better to make it worth buying too but I'm feeling it more now.

Nah, Part 4 Jotaro has different accessories and Part 6 has the snake skin leather pants. But yeah, I'm happy there are different pair-ups than just general obvious pairings. Like the fact that Dio and Giorno, both Dios, and Jotaro and Jolyne have their own is cool and makes me wonder how far they went with giving teams unique combos. It's probably not a lot, but still.

There is some footage of the Speedwagon/Jonathan one, and it's basically just Speedwagon and his goons running at Jotaro and then Jonathan does his Sunlight Yellow Overdrive. I'll try and find it and then edit it in. e: https://jii.moe/VynzsSvA.mp4
