Why are people still bringing up the false dichtomy about fanservice? The last time I got bored enough to give a random shonen series a shot, I got treated to lovingly detailed cameltoe on a sleeping five-year old. (Please avoid reading shonen that is not JoJo.) I'm know there are people who get bothered by any depiction of sexuality but that was never the actual problem. The problem with fanservice was always how predatory it is.

The upcoming fight in JoJo should have a hard time reaching that particular level of creepy, but I'm sure anime will find a way.

Your weird porn doesn't count as shonen anime, hth
No, it was straight up mainstream shonen, that's why I even made the comparison.

You could always name the name of the shonen so that people both A: Know what you're talking about and B: Know to avoid it.

Not like the author is here and you're going to hurt his feelings by calling him a paedo for drawing little girls in horrible situations.

I think that was it, anyway.

I know what're you're going to say next: "A manga, published in Ultra Jump? Why would anyone ever compare this to JoJo?"

I don't think most mainstream shonen is like that, quakster.
Nobody ever made that claim. Are you hostile towards me because I insulted fan service or because I provided a relevant example of why I don't like fan service during a discussion on the subject?

I think with "nakama" it comes down to would-be translators not understanding context and that when you translate things from one language to another, you need to pick the word depending on the context. Funnily enough, this superstitious approach to language stops these people from improving as translators and fucks up their contribution to their own "crew", rendering them inadequate as crewmates. You don't see Zoro say "this material cannot be cut" or Sanji go "this person doesn't deserve to eat". Do these fuckers even read what they claim to be translating? Oh wait, they can't, because they can't read japanese.

It's like the sword Jonathan got, you add a P written with your own blood before the word on it and give it to whoever beat you in a fight.

It's always weird when five minutes of action takes twenty minutes of show but the monologues are so ridiculous that it'd be a shame if they got left out. They're very JoJo.

so apparently holly's stand is killing her because she's not strong enough

and now the list of characters that can control stands include small children, a monkey, and a small dog
The JoJo definition of strong is actually synonymous with insane/fabulous. Never forget this and a lot of things will make more sense. Holly is a normal person and normies can't do hamon or stands.

Then just think that she got unlucky and has a stand whose power is to slowly kill its user. God knows some stands have even bigger rear end in a top hat powers. (see Boingo, Anubis, and many more to come).
Clearly, the Stand is an extension of a mother's worries about her son. *strokes beard*

More frames of animation is not attributable to the 90s, it happened because they had the resources to make it happen.

There's an elegant solution: Get more resources to animate JoJo.
