I like his new faces; not only do they pose like models, but they now have model faces with model stares.

Liquid Dinosaur posted:I'll play the shittiest Chinese bootleg in the world if i can be Diego It's like when you're a kid and making up superheroes to fight your friends' made up superheroes with, and you guys keep making up powers to keep outdoing each others' powers. GER is when the guy said, "my guy's power is to undo whatever your guy does before he even does it."

Hobgoblin2099 posted:I love how this is probably the only series where the dumbest and most unrealistically possible thing you say actually turns out to be spoilers. I hate that someone always has to point out spoilers by quoting posts like that and then black barring under them. We could literally name every upcoming Stand in a row in the other thread from 4 on and no one would believe us that didn't read it, until someone just -had- to point out spoilers.

Oingo and Boingo for me. Should be amazing, animated. As well as the second part with Hol.

Torquemadras posted:I wrote it before, Diavolo's fate is pretty cool. But being stronger than absolutely anything the enemy could do because you happened to luck into the specific power that counters him perfectly? Super boring. The only comparable finale would be that of Part 7, and that ultimate counter to the big bad's ability was not only earned, it had tons of build-up, it wasn't the immediate end of the battle, and Johnny actually lost his next fight with it. Golden Experience Requiem is just such a weak resolution. You will talk about part 5, dammit! No, the comparison is part 3 where they were taking forever to figure out Dio's power, and they finally did, but still couldn't really beat him, and then it was all like "oh yeah Star Platinum could always stop time, he just didn't figure that poo poo out yet." Part 5 was very similar to part 3 in progression, including the end and the unseen villain. At the very end, they started figuring out how King Crimson worked, and started kinnnnd of trying to work around it to the point where you figured they could beat it, then there was a weird interlude with some upgrades, but it still ended with, "oh, I just happen to have the power that can cancel this out." Part 5 is basically a longer, more ridiculous part 3. It was basically Araki doing a do-over where he realized he wanted to go crazier with stands from the start.

And they -were- figuring out how to counter Diavolo's Stand before he Requiem-ed it. I don't really count anything after the arrow as the fight against his Stand from that point - it's basically, "the fight against Diavolo," then, "weirdness."

Part 5 is hurt due to translation, but has a few of the best stand fights ever (Train fight!), and it would be silly to miss those. Don't skip anything. Every part except 4/7 have lulls, but they all have something in them that makes it all worthwhile.

Diavolo is okay - he's on top and he knows people are always out to get him, so he thinks the best way to stay safe is to make sure no one knows who he actually is. That means killing anyone who might know his actual identity. Pucci is okay because if I ever decided to do JoJo's cosplay (I won't ever cosplay), there's someone that I as a darker skinned person can conceivably look like.

I hated the Anubis fight in the manga, but it being animated made it far more enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to the next episode(s) since it's a lot of Joseph running around screaming in Engrish, probably.

Aurain posted:Mariah's Bastet was full of fan-service after all, but the best of it was the obvious bit. Honestly, it wasn't bad at all, because it was centered around episodes full of Joseph and Avdols crotch action. It fit perfectly into the feel of the episode as opposed to it being out of nowhere and unique to her.

4 is the best BECAUSE it's written so badly, if that makes any sense. It only makes it more JoJo.

Watching the anime, I think this is the first time Araki realized what he wanted Jotaro's Stand to actually do (and DIo's by extension).

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:I still think it was kind of rough, since DIO's demonstrations of The World don't fit neatly with the time stop thing (cue those hilarious gifs of DIO pranking Hol Horse and Polnareff). Maybe not. I purposely avoided re-reading Stardust ever since the manga started getting re-adapted (so I could forget how some Stand fights went), so there probably is a lot of contradictory stuff to go that I forgot about.

Aurain posted:There'd be no realistic way to beat him. He'd have just ended up melting them or turning them into kids or basically anything straight away. It would have to be the same thing. Oh yeah, Jotaro just HAPPENS to have the same powers. Also, my gf reads The World as a teleport as well, so the animated version just reads different than the manga (where I read it as I dunno wtf). edit: Also, when I told her that people die, she was able to logically deduct who somehow, which I had to poker face and didn't work when she saw them on the other side of the water on the ending song after saying that. David is actually just really good at showing exactly what they need to. Darko fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Mar 31, 2015 |

Yeah, they cut the hits, not the intent. DIO tells Wilson "Senator" Philips to drive faster on the sidewalk, it cuts away, when it cuts back, the car is covered in blood.

How did people know what Dio's power was from memes, anyway? The only ZA WARRUUUDO memes I saw pre-reading was him saying that and then throwing a steamroller on Jotaro. That doesn't really tell me what it does.

Well, they don't know what The World does, but, yeah, The World (and Star Platinum once Jotaro decides to actually figure out what his Stand does instead of making up abilities like suck in air and make stretchy fingers) make Pillar Men irrelevant. The more interesting part 3 Stands can take them out as well. Just punch ghosts, well, not necessarily. After all, the Pillar Men had their own "stands" (sandstorm, slice arms, cool hair) too that they were working with that aren't all that great in the scheme of things but they're still somewhat creative with.
