So we can all agree that the OP for Battle Tendency is pretty great, right? But have you seen it IN 60FPS!?

Has there been any word on how many episodes this season's gonna be? I dunno if they're going to be able to finish up Stardust Crusaders in a satisfying manner in only 24 episodes.

The Jojo series is quite a bit more fun if you consider the idea that what you're seeing is kind of like a battle of the bands, and Stands are kind of like both the instruments and personified talent of the rock stars.

Oh poo poo, status update on a possible part 4 adaption. It'll be green lit based of the support of Stardust Crusaders, and the decisions of the people involve. (This means yes, right?)

Matt Mercer is pretty much the poor man's Troy Baker, so take that how you will.

Wait, which one played Yuri Lowell in the English dub? I thought Kosuke Toriumi was going to be hard to top, but whoever played him in the US version of Vesperia was loving great.
That was Troy Baker, but they can be pretty indistinguishable. Mercer actually voiced Kanji in the second half of the P4 anime.

Butt Ghost
Nov 23, 2013

Oh, I agree he's fantastic, I was just using Troy Baker as a way to gauge how he'd be as Jotaro, since people are more familiar with Baker.

I guess I could have brought up some of Mercer's rolls, but the only one's off the top of my head are second-half-anime Kanji, Walter from SMTIV, and Alvin from Tales of Xillia, all of which I initially mistook for Baker. :shrug:

I'm a little unclear here on when the English version of the anime airs. I thought it was tomorrow, but then I saw something saying it was today. I can't find anything of Crunchyroll. Has it not been put up yet, or was it a stream that I just missed?

I like to imagine Dio's stand just has Hermit Purple's abilities, and he just very rarely uses it. Especially since Hermit Purple doesn't have the best combat viability.

If Joseph died, it'd still be a major blow to the Crusaders, and a big advantage for DIO. This would also make Steely Dan Dan of Steel one of the most competent adversaries yet. Of course, the only other competent villain so far is Hol Horse, so that's not really saying much. And even if Kakyoin and Polnareff were off'd, Jotaro could probably punch his way over to DIO through the sheer force of getting pissed off.

On the subject of people not getting into part 3: Like how part 1 was the start of a series that wasn't really "perfected" until part 2, part 3 is pretty much the start of its own series. In my opinion, while part 3 is super good and super iconic, I don't think Araki perfected the whole stand thing until later. Part 3 gets really good in the second half, and the final battle is one of the best fights in the entire Jojo franchise. And you liked part 2, I'd say you should hang in there, because I think you'll love part 4.

I feel it helps that the main cast is just so solid. There's just something about these characters that I don't think the other parts (that I've read) have quite captured. The villains are really memorable too. The other parts also have a good cast and villains, but part 3 is just so memorable. I don't know what it is about it. Hell, this isn't even my favorite part.

If you think about it, DIO didn't even provoke Jotaro and friends. Holly's just too much of a loving wimp to handle her stand. DIO did nothing wrong.

Yeah, the only bad things DIO has ever done were:
  • slowly murder his own father
  • intentionally make his adopted brother depressed
  • kill said brother's dog
  • attempt to murder his adopted father with poison
  • actually kill said father with a knife
  • give known criminals superpowers
  • turn an entire town into the undead
  • killed a monk, but this was in battle so that's not really "bad" so to speak
  • killed a literal boatload of people
  • his brother didn't die by his hands necessarily but he still totally took his hot bod!
  • kill another smaller, but still literal, boatload of people
This was all 100 years ago, can't you people ever let stuff go!

Kabanaw posted:

  • ate god knows how many people through the 80s

  • Those people wanted to be eaten. Did you see that girl raise her neck to DIO? And Steely Dan killed Enyaba. Plus, all the mind controlled people were:
    *Almost* Avdol - a pyromaniac
    Kakyoin - a sociopath
    Polnareff - a sexual devient

    If anything, DIO was trying keep a hold on those psychopaths.

    Can we just not talk about talking about spoilers? That wasn't a typo, it's just that regardless on how you feel on the matter, this poo poo gets brought up every few days it seems. It gets a bit agitating. If someone posts something that's an obvious spoiler, all that needs to be said is "delete that poo poo" and everyone can then just shut the gently caress up and move on.

    The Egypt arc of Stardust Crusaders is actually a Big Gay Orgy between the Crusaders and the rest of DIO's goons. Then at the final confrontation, Jotaro and DIO jack off on opposite sides of the room. Whoever can turn around and shoot the other first wins.
