BlitzBlast posted:Doesn't really explain how DIO got from being a head in Jonathan's arms in the middle of an inferno to a full body sitting underneath Erina. Vampire tentacles, dude. Vampire tentacles. That bit's actually pretty well set up - we already knew he was capable of that because that's why he was on the ship in the first place - to saw off Jonathan's head with his freaky neck-veins and plug himself on.

khy posted:I've heard great things about this series but I can't get past the character design and art. It all looks so flamboyant and gay. I can't decide whether or not the series is trying to appeal to the homosexual male or heterosexual female demographics. Embrace the camp. Embrace it like a great big sweaty man with inexplicable hathair. EDIT: on an unrelated note, Walk Like an Egyptian might be the first time that I've honestly preferred an ED to an OP. In my experience, anime endings tend to be kind of , with the eye-catching visuals and audio saved for the money-shot that is a show's opening. Even when an ED is good, the OP is usually better. This time, though? WLAE is just so visually and aurally beautiful that the OP, good as it is, just can't compete. Darth Walrus fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Apr 25, 2014 |

I do like how they're giving the rest of the cast time to shine here. This episode was basically The Avdol Show and he won fair and square, with Jotaro just popping in to clean up at the end.

Kaiser Mazoku posted:The Hanged Man sure seems like a handy Stand. You can attack people through mirrors AND it keeps you dry from the rain....somehow. Raindrops are reflective. That should give it enough leeway to give its host some cover. They're pretty lucky they aren't facing Geil/Centerfold in monsoon season, actually. I don't even want to think about what he could do in a proper fight in a rainstorm.

Genocyber posted:(I guess the fishman one is worse). Blue Moon's really not a bad stand - it's basically a downgraded Star Platinum with some sweet little bonuses in water, and we all know how useful and versatile Star Platinum is. Emperor allows its user to control a bullet, Blue Moon allows its user to control a whole person who hits almost as hard as a bullet. That's some nice utility there.

Liquid Dinosaur posted:I clapped out of joy when Polnareff and Avdol took part in the timeless male bonding ritual of pissing together (into another man's mouth). With attendant rainbows. I know people were grumbling about the lack of fabulousness after Battle Tendency, so it's nice to see this season getting super gay sometimes. Insofar as non-consensual muscleman watersports can be described as 'nice'.

Steins;Gate had a great dub. Good localisation of the geeky references, and the guy who played Dandy (and Isaac in Baccano) really shone as the lead.

Supersonic Shine posted:I like how Jotaro had a polite burial for the guy who murdered two innocent people and grievously injured two of his friends. Then again, maybe it was done out of pity, because N'Doul was clearly not all there. I'm pretty sure the Speedwagon Foundation count under 'enemy combatants'. They may be the support crew rather than front-line fighters, but they're still actively involved in facilitating Dio's murder.
