Kind of hope the MMM guys reunite for this. I loved their subs for the first season.

It's been confirmed that they're returning. The tokusatsu sub group Over-Time, who was a part of MMM, said so in a news post a month ago.

Link? Jojo owns and Persona owns but I didn't know we were getting a new one apart from some weird mobile thing.

We're getting a few, actually. The one in question with the poses is Persona Q, an Etrian Oddysey-style dungeon crawler featuring characters from P3 and 4. Then there's a P4 rhythm game called Dancing All Night and Persona 5 coming.

Does Amazon do that thing where they ship preordered games as soon as they arrive, instead of on the release date?

Amazon sends preordered games out from the supplier on the release date. I think Prime members get them sent early so they arrive release day.

I mean, how would you even figure out that ability in the first place? I figure Joseph was just freaking out and smashing everything in sight and suddenly a picture came out of a broken camera. And it's complete luck that he even discovered that power. Who knows what other smash-based abilities he may have!

There are some Stands later on in the series with abilities that suggest that people just know.

Magician's Red is the Magician because it uses fire.

The tarot motif in part 3 is pretty neat, but it's not used correctly at all; notice how we skipped The Fool (0) and started all the way at The Star (17) but then doubled back to the Magician (1) then jumped ahead to The Hermit (9) then went back again to the Hierophant (5) and woah now he's skipping right to Tower (16) and oh man now we're back to the Chariot (7)? :psyduck:

Araki pretty much just used it to think up a bunch of cool Stands.

Well, sometimes the Fool is thought of as the final arcana as well as the first arcana.

Gray Fly saying something like "my card embodies the card The Tower" or whatever is weird, because it makes you think the Tarot and the Stands are actually linked. Nope. A bunch of people just independently decided to use that theme.

So that's two OPs that sync up with OPs from another anime for Jojo (for reference, Battle Tendency's Bloody Stream and Space Dandy's Viva Namida are quite interchangeable. Is there an OP that syncs with Phantom Blood's OP?

Also Stand Proud over KLK's second OP. Just for the curious. I'm sure someone could make a better synced version.

So do you think they'll clear up the censorship when the BDs come out? There was a lot of it in Tower of Grey and the latest episode where they censor Jotaro's smoking.

That's pretty much standard practice in anime along with animation fixes.

Yeah, Stardust is longer than both Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency combined, so it's obviously a bit slower.
