Looking at multi movie anime stuff going on like Persona 3 or Digimon, could they adapt a Jojo story into a film or multi length thing?

Maybe a standalone Jojo film? Some good post Part 4 stuff that's mostly talented animators pissing around

the Rohan stuff could work as an OVA series

the problem with original JoJo is that obviously you want Araki to write/design it, but the ova/movie could still suck without an actual comic to base visual/directorial decisions on. and if one existed you could just as soon read it instead of worry about an anime adaptation

i was gonna say having members of the SDC crew show up for one-off adventures would've been super fun, but then i remembered half of them are dead :smith:

Joubin is one of my favorite characters in all of JoJo, aesthetically speaking. i too hope he isn't terrible, though it's too bad he won't get any sort of character merch

Yeah, Jobin looks awesome and it's a pity that there isn't anything for him and probably won't be.

maybe a Statue Legend if we're lucky? they seem to give those out on a whim

i'm pretty bad about reading and keeping up with manga, so the JoJo update schedule is actually perfect for me. it's easier for me to just stay updated and only have 30 pages a month, than building up a backlog of chapters that i'd get through much slower.

then again, i stop jonesing for a new chapter about 3-5 days after reading the latest one, which probably makes me an outlier itt.

I just started reading Steel Ball Run and I have one question:

What the heck is going on with Gyro's jaw/chin, is that a beard or what

if it is a beard, that's disgusting and Gyro can go sit in the bad facial hair corner with Ringo

Why does Rohan need your eyes to be open for his power to work again? I thought he just slaps your face open into a book.

its ability only activates when you see it or an image of it

SDC's pacing was fine. i don't see how it's feasible to adapt Part 4 well with 9 fewer episodes when the manga is 16% longer

i don't like part 2 as much because:
- it's a v limited cast
- other characters get poo poo on so Joseph can save the day
- no Stands

and while 5 is still being retranslated, i'm confident the larger cast (with characters who already had personality in the bad TL) will put it over 2 for me. it really comes down to 5 & 6 having more inventive fights where everybody is given a chance to shine and develop. so ultimately 2 only beats out 1, for me.

I just love the name changes, specially since you can clearly hear the proper name, so it's just an extra layer of fun due to how copyright laws work. Can't wait for 2019 when we get to see the Avocado Evening fight.

I'd prefer Chartreuse Afternoon

Internet nerds get worked up over name changes constantly. There are people complaining that the alt-sub track for Ace Attorney exists because "wtf is this localized trash."

i mean, this one actually seems kinda dumb because the translation shouldn't be beholden to the game's localization. my impression is that it's probably a find-and-replace situation though, and they offer a non-game script so it's ultimately fine.

anime subtitles seem to usually/mostly be translations, not localizations. so i think things like the script changing ramen to burgers is dumb. at least with pun names you have the precedent of subs localizing idioms or jokes. personally i'd prefer the name being noted and then treated as normal

so they drove off in Lagoon 2 after the yacht guy gave them a key labeled 1. was this addressed in the manga when the ship-in-a-ship thing was revealed? it seems like a way to hint at something being up immediately but also if 2 is wrapped around 1 then why did the key for 1 work?

it mostly just struck my curiosity, idc if it turns out to be another forgotten detail.

it's loving weird to me to see them all hang out relatively normally, with the same kind of shittalking you'd hear from Bruno's group.

but yeah it's a net positive addition imo, only downside is it kinda messes up the pacing
