"Hey Baby! becomes "Stronzo" or something to that effect.

This is the only thing about the GG sub I didn't like, and only because subs translating spoken English as something else is my anime pet peeve.

I love DIO as much as the next straight yet questionably homosexual male, but my god man there's no way he's going to live up to this hype.

Put simply: if what we're getting now is the endless Namek bullshit from DBZ, DIO is an entire fight of "I'M GOKU AND I AM A SUPER SAIYAAAAAN!"

And what we're getting now is a whole lot better than Fake Namek. :getin:

They loving copied them and it is so obvious that, when asked they say "yeaaaah, we were kinda inspired a little bit by them... but not much!". What do you expect them to say? The truth? So that Araki can sink his immortal fangs on them and ask for his :10bux:?

Araki isn't exactly a litigious person, is he? I get the feeling his reaction would just be "oh, nice, I inspired another mega-popular thing! :unsmith:" more than anything.

I'm pretty sure he killed and ate everyone involved in the Phantom Blood movie

See, the difference there is that the Phantom Blood movie is inarguably awful whereas Persona is a long-running and popular game franchise and certified Good poo poo like 75% of the time

While I don't doubt that's the actual intent there, it takes longer than that for the mind to revert. Polnareff never lost his fighting instinct and smarts for the entirety, so Jotaro retaining his makes sense.

Also, him being able to throw a punch doesn't necessarily mean anything else about his childhood. Alessi was trying to kill him and all, so fighting is an understandable reaction.

I think you mean "Esidisi".

Speaking of which,where the hell can I find a version of the series with decent not-Crunchyroll subs?

For SC, nowhere. Fansub groups don't generally touch shows that are picked up by official streaming sources, unless the official source is behind or has some flaw the subbers consider major (for example, UTW redoing Fate subs to correct weird little jargon mistakes because they're huge Nasu spergs).

He's not literally a pedophile, no, but you're very clearly supposed to get that vibe, which is part of why it's so satisfying when he repeatedly gets owned by a 3-year-old.

I parsed it as Joseph asking if the illusion was something his Stand did, and then asking if it was his Stand's primary power, but the original does make more sense.

There are so many posts in this thread that are along the lines of "trust me, it's just getting good guys, we're right at the good parts now, it's gonna be good"

there were a few people who said it after all the protagonists were introduced, a LOT of people who said it when we got to Egypt, and a few who've been saying it during the early Egypt fights. the consensus seems to be that it starts out pretty good and gets Battle Tendency good somewhere in Egypt (YMMV on where specifically but I think pretty much everyone has agreed it's before DIO's castle, except for a couple outliers who've said Vanilla Ice). just seems like a range of opinions, honestly.

also what the gently caress, vanilla ice and pet shop the worst? are you watching bizarro jojo

my memory's hazy on the specifics of Vanilla Ice because I read the manga back in high school, but I remember it being loving awesome, and the Pet Shop fight is rad because it manages to make a dog fighting a bird hype as all gently caress if nothing else

the cool thing about SC is that even all the filler fights either have hilarious poo poo like "I ended Part 3 early!" and... pretty much the entire Sun fight, or pretty neat characterization bits (the end of the Alessi fight is a nice little character moment for Polnareff- he's spent practically the entire series being a skirt-chaser, but when presented with a pretty obvious opportunity to get some after re-aging, he actively turns it down because he doesn't want to endanger her or their mission).

strength is probably the only fight without anything really in it, and even then I'd say Jotaro ora-ora-ora-ing an orangutan is pretty goddamn cool

We don't know what the dub's gonna do for those yet, and the SC test dub was loving awesome so I'm inclined to say they've got a good plan.

...honestly, that would probably be one of the best parts of having a Stand that can think independently. You'd have a bro who sprung out from your own soul, meaning that you'll (theoretically) always get along perfectly. :v:

But what if that person has depression and hates themself?

Wouldn't you presumably get a Stand with a depressed personality in that instance (assuming it could think for itself)? Probably not very helpful for therapeutic purposes, but speaking as a person with clinical depression, it'd be cool to have someone to bro with on the days that I just feel like laying in bed and watching Iron Chef instead of actually doing things like showering or eating.

That's what you got out of that comment?

I mean, all the dude going to bat for the OVA said was that he preferred how it handled the violence. Didn't speak to its quality otherwise, unless I misread it.

And remembering the OVA, I'm kinda with him- I appreciate and prefer David sticking to the manga, but those aren't bad alternate takes on the scenes and they're executed pretty well.

To wit, there were actually a few posters in the manga thread who were surprised to learn there were still people who didn't know what Dio's stand did.

To be fair, from basically the second he starts actually personally doing things in SC it's pretty obvious. I could maybe see someone thinking it's teleportation with the Polnareff on the stairs bit, but by the time you get to Wilson Phillips it's blunt as hell that he's stopping time.
