All you need to know about Joseph Joestar is that when his plan to sneak into a secret Nazi base dressed as a woman failed, he was really bummed out.

Part 2 is the best because it's the part that features a fight between (spoilers if you haven't seen Battle Tendency) a cyborg nazi soldier and an ancient aztec demigod wielding bone laser chainsaws.

Weird thing I noticed skimming through the Battle Tendency episodes: The part 2 opening has sound effects added to it at some point. Episode 13 it's just plain Bloody Storm, episode 25 (the next one I watched) it has noises for punches, the clackers at the beginning, etc.

E: I will never get over how hype the final battle with Cars is with Sono Chi No Sadame playing in the background.

Funnily enough, I came across this tumblr post earlier today:

quote:



See that hat? Look a little closer.



See it? There’s just loving hair on the back of the hat.
That’s right, folks - Jotaro literally just glued hair to the back of his hat so it would blend with his own when he wore it. Like so.


Also the new episode is creepy as gently caress. I spoiled myself on the stuff in the OVAs a while back, but that just means I love it even more now that we're into the stuff that wasn't in them.

Realtalk, though, changing names has pretty much nothing to do with the quality of the adaptation, it's entirely a localization issue, due to copyright laws everywhere that isn't Japan. Even if every name had to be completely mangled, it wouldn't really be a slight against David.

That's a clever gimmick but I think only Stand-users can directly see Stands - to everyone else weird stuff just happens at random intervals. So it would probably falter when people were staring at the "Stand" and ignoring the "normal guy."

Well, Strength and Yellow Temperance could be seen by normal people, right? It's not unreasonable there's others.

I wonder, if the English dub ever does materialize, if they'll manage to get rights to use the proper names instead of the fudged ones. I know they used the latter for the OVA, but this is a somewhat bigger production so maybe it'll be different.

The real loss is that we haven't had more "Next you're going to say..." moments. Obviously Joseph's not the Arc Protagonist, but still, it was a great mindgame, which is what half the stand battles so far have been.

the most important thing about this episode is apparently this whole time jojo and friends have been doing loving stupid poo poo and probably burning the poo poo out of themselves with cigarettes

Also the fact that the main adult of the group, Joseph, is just as much of a jackass and encouraging their goofy bullshit because even at age 70 or whatever, he's still Joseph loving Joestar.

Japanese is a difficult language and capturing the tone and meaning of someone's dialogue is a pain in the loving rear end?

Like, it's completely unrelated to any of the latin-based languages, both in syntax and etymology.

E: And then you read half the loving kanji wrong and... I was gonna say something related to part 4 but suffice to say numerous words can be written with the same characters, pronounced completely differently and with completely unrelated meanings.
