They're pretty engrishy from what I understand.

No, they're fine. They're how I watched it at first. The reach big issue is that any instance of I, DIO was replaced with "me"

This appears to be parts 1/2 and not 3, although they don't really say anything outright. I'd say its a decent sign they get part 3, though.

April 1st.

The official subs for part 1 and 2 change every single instance of Suzie Q to the full Suzie Quatro, and give the Pillarmen names that actually look like names - Esidisi, Wamuu, and Kars instead of the ACDC, Wham! and Cars that some people seem to like, still. That's the full extent of it.

The Suzie Quatro thing doesn't even make sense, that's just her namesake's name.

Her full name actually is Suzie Quatro officially and has been since she was introduced. I think it says it in the beginning of the volumes where it shows the Joestar family tree. The pillar men names are that way in the original, too. Wham and ACDC aren't even spelled the same way in Japanese. エシディシ&ワムウ instead of エーシーディーシー&ワム
But yeah, hamon is dumb.

Yeah, I knew that, what I mean is they'll say Suzie Q, but the subs say Suzie Quatro every single time.

I came into it with the official subs, and I think ripple is the dumb name. :shrug:

Oh. Then I'll wait for Part 5 to be fixed before catching up with the manga, if the anime proves faster than that then okay. Thanks :)

Parts are mostly self contained, and 5 has almost no crossover with any other part. You can safely skip 5 and get nothing about it spoiled from subsequent parts.

It is dumb to leave it untranslated, but it's not my first concern about a translation of part I.

Speaking of which, do they have Dio referring to himself as "I, Dio"? Cause that's what I really care about.

No. It seems to be mostly the official subs with a few tweaks, but that was left untweaked. :(

I just watched the first episode and have never read the manga. I'm a little confused and I think I missed something: Didn't Erina and baby Lisa Lisa survive the boat explosion by hiding in Dio's coffin? Where did Dio find this other coffin to hide in with Johnathan's body? Wtf? If this is something we find out later then I will just wait. The animation quality is noticeably way better this season. I am so pumped for episode 2.

You didn't miss poo poo. Araki straight up forgot about Erina using the coffin back when he started Stardust Crusaders.

I remember an except from a D&D manual that said something along the lines of "simple rules with thousands of exceptions." In other words, spells, abilities, and feats exist to break the baseline rules. I think that's a good way to look at Stand powers.

It's worth noting, however, that Jotaro doesn't mean to be aloof or standoffish - he thinks that it's so obvious he cares about the people around him that they can tell just by looking at him, and considers it a waste of time to put more effort would be pointless. This is only really touched on in Jotaro's mini-bio in an early volume of Stardust Crusaders, I think.

Both of the season 1 OPs give a ton of spoilers in really subtle ways that you're only really going to notice in retrospect, except maybe Dio getting shot after putting on the mask.

Even in the Blurays?

With what I watched off Netflix, at least. I'm not really huge into anime, so I didn't even realize it might have just been a production thing, and it really put me off the show. I kept watching, and then every episode promising something cool rarely every actually delivering on it and spending entire episodes on a single thing like someone deciding whether or not they're gonna do a thing was really frustrating and I hated it and I watched the whole thing and I'm excited for season 2 and I don't know why. :negative:

Was she really made sexier? I don't think it's much of a stretch that her shirt came unbuttoned in the middle of a tussle, considering how badly hierophant green controlled her body. Quite frankly, I dunno how anything with her in that scene could be played as fanservice, she looks deranged and kind of gross for most of the scene, and when hierophant green is pulled out of her, she's lying in a pool of her own blood. Not exactly what I call sexy.

Counterpoint - this is anime we're talking about.

Heritage to the Future is the best ORAORAORA simulator, and Pet Shop is broken beyond belief. It contains spoilers for the final act of Stardust Crusaders though! ASB is full of them too, but it's mostly just going to be bewildering and confusing unless you already know what happens, because they're presented with zero context except for the exact same part 3 spoilers.
