This.

This is what I needed after 12 hours at the office. Jojo liveblogging.

Don't ever stop, alcharagia.

The camel stuff is just great, too




Since I've started reading the later parts of the manga, I've started to wonder if one of the upcoming Jojos are better than Joseph. Then I'm reminded of stuff like this and remember that yes, Joseph is the best Jojo.

That's the one I'm accounting for with bad translations personally because I can't fairly say based on a translation that the majority would describe as even "adequate".

This better not be a reference to part 5.

Okuyasu Nijimura posted:

I really wonder why it is that I just can't come around on Joseph.

Jojo is one of those magical series where there's something for everyone, but that also means that not every part will shine for everyone. I loved Battle Tendency from the get-go, and while I've come to appreciate the later parts more, Joseph's goofiness never grows old for me. But hey, other people have different tastes. :shobon:

As someone pointed out earlier in the thread, Jojo is filled with marvelous, marvelous assholes.

How many people have a jojo account at this point? Josuke, Okuyasu, Jolyne...anyone else?

Oh man, this arc.

I liked this arc a lot, even though I found it a little silly (for reasons I'll go into later). It's good to see you back, Xibanya!

I think End of THE WORLD is my favorite OP
End of THE WORLD is hype as gently caress. And it only gets better and better as you go through the season.

Get a feeling so complicated...

One of the finest arcs in Part 4. Yukako is so dreadfully underused.

And as long as we're talking about avatar-sized Jojo pictures, does anyone have one of Giorno and Golden Requiem?

I am here, caught up on the thread and hella hype!

Shiiiit I owe ya'll a let's read! While I'm back in action though, any thoughts on any neato anime vs manga analysis I can do while we're here? I'm hype to get back on Jojos now that vidya has slowed down. (Guess who had a table at SXSW :smuggo:) additionally, someone not from SA has sent me some cool materials about the Taiwanese translation that was used to make the Duwang scans so I'll review those and have those up for everyone soon.

Once the anime has started, I'm wondering if it would be more entertaining to pivot the let's read to focus on comparing the episodes with the manga. Thoughts? Or should I carry on as I have. I have to admit everything I've done has been quite "labor intensive" so I'm pretty sure I'll fall behind the anime in no time. (Great, that's embarrassing.)

Please, please keep doing your let's reads! Your analysis gives me life. I'm thinking of rereading the manga alongside the show anyway, and your insights really add to the story.
