Crush is a good renaming of Clash because it's pronounced exactly the same in Japanese. I didn't even realize the name had been changed at first.

Dio's theme song was the only good thing to come out of the Phantom Blood movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MztTCT2PLC0

It's so weird as a song for Part 1 but also it fuckin' slaps poo poo and as many AMVs have shown, actually kinda fits for Part 3.

Also, even if the movie is garbo, I kinda want it to be found just for archival's sake. It's weird to think that such a high-profile (in Japan) movie from as recent as 2007 is just lost.

imo it's reasonable to suspect that it was supposed to be time travel while you're reading it given that it's jojos and that wouldn't be an uncommon trope. the weird part is continuing to insist that it was originally supposed to be time travel despite all evidence to the contrary and the fact that it never comes up again

The thing is, it wasn't a trope in Jojo's yet. People are coming to this theory based on a pattern that hadn't actually been established at the time because with the scans, people are reading the entire series at one time and applying future information to their readings of the behind the scenes process.

It's kinda like the opposite problem DBZ has where since the west had so much time between DBZ and a proper full wide release of the original Dragon Ball, people (and Toriyama) are under the impression that Toriyama forgot Launch as a character, but actually he basically wrote her out two weeks after her last appearance.

Star Platinum is out here doing whatever the gently caress it wants and no one minds. King Crimson is at least doing some form of "erasing time" at each point, even if that phrase is being defined differently.

the problem with king crimson is the people who act like it does actually work logically and consistently. much like every stand, it does whatever is plot convenient, and theoretically is very thematically cool for diavolo, so it's all fine. but don't try to tell me it's actually very well considered and not bullshit

Gold Experience is much the same way.

Honestly, after the Doppio and Nero fight, I like just Epitaph alone more than King Crimson as a whole.

It's also funny to go right from one of the most fleshed out and engaging antagonists in the series to one who basically has no character by design.

That's their common defense whenever someone criticizes them, but it's kinda bullshit because a lot of what they say in those videos is their actual opinion.

It's less a legality of fan translation thing and more not having people tweet about things that haven't officially come out yet and possibly jeopardizing the source, I think.

Is there a story on why the pace of official English translations for the latter JoJo parts has been glacially slow? Seems kinda weird we've had five parts of the anime animated and translated to English before the DiU translation has even been finished.

I mean

They were spending a lot of that time

Doing the first two parts.

The Part 4 volumes do look great, I like their style a lot more than I do the JoJoniums

I did find it weird that Viz just ran with the Jojonium style for just about all the Jojo stuff, with the anime releases and Manga In Theory.
