Vento Aureo JoJo's Bizzare Adventure is genuinely good for most of it. It just stops making sense toward the end.

I feel like this is a more correct sentiment for each part.

The current list of confirmed anime for the fall is still relatively small. I would think, right now, David is still trying to see how much they can actually get to make more JoJo. The appropriate answer is all the money but I'm sure budget negotiations are part of why we haven't heard anything yet. Aside from Neptunia.

Watch as the game turns out to have QWOP-like controls so that only computers can play it with any efficiency.

Obviously you need to develop a Stand to play it properly.

Check this out. It's an incredibly cool Gyro Zeppeli shirt someone posted on Tumblr. I don't particularly want to spent 22 dollars on a shirt, but god drat am I tempted.

Thanks a lot. I just spent 20 on this. (I regret nothing.)

It's gonna be the perfect gift.

On more JoJo news, the latest rankings for video game sales came out and All Star Battle sold over 425000 copies for the week. I can't imagine this isn't good news for the thought of more anime but I guess we'll have to wait and see since there doesn't seem to be a peep out of the studio.

I also heard a rumor rolling around that Araki enjoyed the game. It'd be nice if that influenced him to giving more anime the go ahead.

Is Araki what's holding it up? I thought that the main issue was that the studio had already signed up to do Neptunia.

Somewhere, there should be a story about Giorno going to Miami to see Universal Studios or something and just completely missing out on this whole "Stone Ocean" business.

I would totally understand read a version of stone ocean where Green Dolphin Street is replaced by Disney. Dress Pucci up in a Mickey Mouse costume as he strives for Walt Dio's perfect world.

I think that story wise, part 7 is probably the best part. Part four will, I think, always be my favorite because it seemed to encapsulate so much of what the manga actually is. Crazy abilities used in cool ways, bullshit powers for no reason, fights that actually convey a sense of urgency, and a villain who wasn't hellbent on some ridiculous outcome. Kira was a stone cold killer, yeah, but you can't not feel a little bad since all he really wanted was a normal life.

Is there a reason that there seems to be conflicting information about when this game is due out? I've seen 2013 and 2014 being offered as dates. Is 2014 the more accepted date?

Because let's be honest, it'll be sitting next to my import copy when it comes out.

If waiting through Neptunia is what it takes to get the rest of the series animated, they can go right the gently caress ahead. I'd much rather have half a year of waiting for new Jojo than not having any Jojo. :colbert:

It's JoJo; there's always punching. It just sometimes happens with your brain instead of your fist. He needs to just punch with his brain more and harder and the mystery will be solved.

So are they going back and recording just the bits and pieces for stand names, or is it gonna be really awkward when Bruno/Kira/whomever just flat out uses English?

Well, there's that then.

Don't most of the Stand/naming issues come for part 4 on? I could see them just dropping the dub after part 3 instead of dealing with that kind of hassle.

Your way works too posted:

Not really, before stand names were bands and musicians the characters were. Like Enya, J. Giel, Rubber Soul and oh yeah DIO.

But they're not actually doing anything with DIO since he's just dropping his last name. I guess I'm just not familiar enough as to what would end up constituting a name that needed to be changed. I can't imagine any of these bands going "Yup, people are gonna mistake us for neon-pastel animated characters."

Edit: Aeroplano or Aereo would work too, Sabato Nero, Esperienza d'Oro, etc.

Heh, good ones. I'm putting together a list of names myself. I currently have King Crimson as "Sovrano Rosso" and Aerosmith as "Aviatore"

Sovrano seems a little beleaguered when Re Rosso works just as well and with alliteration!

hoobajoo posted:

R.E.O. Speedwagon. Cars, Wham, ACDC. Polnareff. It's pretty hosed the whole way through.

The only one that's really changing is Polnareff, unless I just missed out on something. Cars, Wham, and ACDC are just gonna be spelled the way they're pronounced in Japan and Speedwagon is going to be Speedwagoning coolly.

I dunno, I get why it's being done but I still find it somewhat dumb.

Isn't it all but confirmed that Rohan was Araki's self insert as well? I could have sworn I remembered reading that at some point and I can't really take anything for granted in JoJo's really.

Ah, I felt like I had it slightly mixed up. Seeing Rohan later in the series, and in the spinoffs, made me think that it would have been a good self insert. It even feels like a stand that Araki would love to have.

Dan of Steel

Was that (and the other name changes, for that matter) a copyright/trademark thing or a mistranslation?

You can hear him say "Steely Dan" over the subtitles. Not that "Dan of Steel" isn't a pretty great play on words.

Copyright I'd imagine. Just like J Geil was changed to Centerfold, even though it's been pronounced J Geil when spoken.

Something that controls time and thereby his youth.

There's a reason he thinks that time is the strongest power.

Araki doesn't need a Stand to control his youth since he is actually a vampire. His stand allows him to continually put out better material on a regular basis. That or see the future of fashion 20 years from now.

Araki really did miss a critical detail of southern Italy when he was did Vento Aureo: There isn't enough trash. Seriously, like Naples is 90% trash due organized crime there.

To be fair, the trash thing only really got bad in the mid to late 2000s and Vento Aureo wrapped up in 99. Maybe they'll rectify this if they get around to animating it.

Edit: Also most of southern Italy is great, Naples is just their version of New Jersey.
