Man, just got caught up with Jojolion. Been liking it so far, but sometimes it seems more like something Junji Ito would write if he put down the body horror and went straight supernatural mystery.

Sorry if it's already been covered, but why is it called Jojolion? There is a Jojo, but no lions. So far.

So, I thought Part V was going to suck, but seeing Purple Haze, Sex Pistols, and everything about Narancia (who I am convinced is the best character) changed my mind.

Aw, man, just finished four, and was coming here to ask about part five. Guess I won't be skipping it. Still hate Giorno's hair. Stupid stupid hair.

Also love how socially awkward Gappy is. He just moves in an awkward way.

Okay, I was thinking about starting this project, and I wanted to run this by you guys first.

I want to gather up tons of fan art and letters from western Jojo fans, put 'em in a big box, and send them to Araki to show support from western fans. I think it would make him happy. It would make me happy if I had a comic and got tons of fan mail from different countries.

What do you guys think? Good idea or absolutely stupid? I keep going back and forth on it.

If he did, someone would probably sue his rear end over names. Folks are jerks.

Gappy is still the best. I may/may not have the biggest crush on him. I find the awkwardness endearing.

There is that dog Tonio treated in Part 4, busting open his insides and all like it's nothing. He and Tonio himself are exceptions though.

Stray Cat lived, too. :3:

I'm still surprised that not only a woman, but a GROUP of women managed to come up with a series concept as misogynistic as Chobits.

They're all a bunch of creepy yaoi fangirls. They're the ur-creep, the crazed self-hating women who fawn over guys that look like girls loving.


I don't like Clamp.

How is it any different than Stray Cat resting on his shoulder or something?

'Cause he had to keep it in the dark so when he opened up it would wake up and attack.

I had a dream with Gappy in it last night. My fiance and I had taken him in and were trying to help him be more normal. Like I made him a longer shirt and we took him out places to socialize. Eventually we gave up and entered him in a fighting tournament so we could bet on him. We made good money.

I never know what to think about Norisuke. One minute he's all nice, then the next, he's all threatening and "Grr, I'm the Alpha Male! Grrr! Oh, check this cool thing out."

A lot of the chapter was him showing off, kind of showing Gappy how cool his stuff is. I just don't know what to think!

I wonder how many episodes they'll make out of the dio fight. Personally I'm hoping we get an entire episode dedicated to Jotaro playing dead.

Three. Three episodes.

Agreed, Stone Free looks amazing and has an incredibly flexible and visually cool power. My runner up is probably Killer Queen, being able to blow up anything including time is just too radical and made the confrontations with Kira really intense.

Wait, when did he do that? I don't remember.


Best is Echoes, all of them.

Agreed. I wonder what kind of dishes Tonio would cook up for certain characters, and what affects they would have on his customers. For example, would he be able to come up with a meal that could restore the use of Johnny's legs? Is Pearl Jam limited to curing physical ailments, or can Tonio get rid of whatever caused Kira's anti-social behavior?

Assuming whatever's wrong with Kira is physical, maybe. Can it cure brain matter and nerve things?

Btw, is a new Gappy even out yet? It's time, and last month was a break month, so.... I'm getting antsy and starting to withdraw. It starts with itching. Or is that just skeeto bites? (Someone would like that.)

29 I thought

It's great how Jotaro's plan as a dad is more or less to go gently caress off to Japan after his daughter's born so he can hang out with his uncle and solve crimes.

Joestar men aren't the best fathers (see: Joseph and Josuke).

In fact, Jolyne would probably be a lovely mom, too. Lisalisa kind of was.

The Japanese do.

Which is probably why they're going to even do part 4, just so they can get to part 5. At least we'll finally get a good translation out of it if it happens.

I'm lost, why are folks confused at DIO's heart motiff? He's always been a heart covered banana.


And I mean that in the most flattering way possible, the banana being the sweetest and most phallic of fruits. A perfect fit for our Lord.
