Tarot's card's are cool, but having stands be named after bands and songs is the loving best.

I always pictured Jotaro saying Star Platinum's The World in a really rushed way, because that is a mouthful for something that happens instantly.

Like, I imagine him practicing saying it in advance so as not to fumble.

Thread read-along.

Er, if I'm understanding right, I post my analysis of each chunk and then we all talk about it. I mean, isn't that what people do?

E: to clarify, I don't plan on doing one post per story arc, but I don't want to commit to one post per chapter either. I'd be telling everyone what chapter(s) I plan to read next and then everybody can get ready for when I actually post by reading it/them too.

Okay so I have a proposal. For newcomers and Jojo vets alike. The Part 3 anime just ended, lots of people should want to read Part 4 because it is great so why not share the joy and experience the Golden Heart of Morioh ~~~*together*~~~

Let's Read Diamond is Unbreakable

I basically just made this up using my Stand. I think the breaking up will help us focus on particular parts one at a time, but obviously if we do one a week it'll take forever, and one a day schedule is pretty hard to keep to. So how about ~10 chapters a week? Sound good? As it turns out, with a few exceptions it lines up pretty close with each major "story arc", I suppose. So how about it guys? Are you ready for a crazy time?

This should hopefully remain fairly spoiler free. As you can see, we're looking at some nice, slice of life, calm, suburban schooltime fun.

Week 1: Chapter 266 - 273 In which Jojo meets Jojo and then a serial killer.
Week 2: Chapter 274 - 283
Week 3: Chapter 284 - 288 Cell does his taxes
Week 4: Chapter 289 - 293 Unlicensed dentistry adventure.
Week 5: Chapter 294 - 302 Koichi gets a girlfriend!
Week 6: Chapter 303 - 306 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gZvxpFWe9M
Week 7: Chapter 307 - 317 Josuke connects with his dad
Week 8: Chapter 318 - 329 The story gets real meta. Jotaro gets to know his uncle.
Week 9: Chapter 330 - 341 Rohan meets an old friend. Josuke has a crazy get-rich quick scheme.
Week 10: Chapter 342 - 353 Kira loses his sandwich. Yukako gets a makeover.
Week 11: Chapter 354 - 364 Kira gets his coat repaired.
Week 12: Chapter 365 - 377 The gang looks through some old family photos. Mr Kawajiri revitalises his marriage. Rohan plays rock paper scissors.
Week 13: Chapter 378 - 383 A new kid is in town! Can he and Josuke become friends?
Week 14: Chapter 384 - 391 Josuke takes the bus, decides he needs to learn to drive.
Week 15: Chapter 392 - 403 Mr Kawajiri gets a cat. Josuke and Okuyasu meet a stranger on the outskirts of town.
Week 16 Chapter 404 - 417 Josuke has trouble with origami. There is tension between Mr Kawajiri and his son. Rohan plans some home repairs.

Maybe I'd feel differently if I lived in an area of England where people actually did speak in accents resembling RP.

I seriously don't understand how their childhoods worked (and I think I said as much already, sorry to repeat) because they can't have had outside help but the stuff with dad went down when they were quite young and they still appeared to at least somewhat function as a family. Clearly Keicho kept Okuyasu in school and must have attended himself? Whatever my opinions are about abuse, Keicho obviously still kept a roof over their heads and fed them and managed money while playing Stand-sleuth. At one point Okuyasu even references a vacation they took so yeah it's bewildering to me. 18 year old real estate agent. Dio gave them a ton of money, I guess

Didn't someone make a video version of this?

The first half is a bit of a mixed bag. It suffers from a lot of typical shounen problems Togashi doesn't usually have like pacing fatigue and meaningless fights, but you also get a lot of cool new characters who show up and are totally sweet. It was only when I reached that part I remembered for the majority of the series we've been following amateur hunters; these guys are the pros.

Anyway, it starts improving considerably once the king is born.

Bad Seafood posted:

Huh. Always figured they'd go blonde for Koichi.

the best joke in all of stardust crusaders is that jotaro isnt tipped off by rubber soul doing the weird tongue thing, but by him loving it up

Bad Seafood posted:

Araki's always changing how stands work.

There's a stand in Part 7 that breaks one of the otherwise most consistent rules across the series.

Surface picks up the hand in the bottle and tells Hazamada that it won't turn back into a hand again. Whoa, that's pretty serious. But Hazamada seems to not be missing any appendages himself, so I guess damage to Surface doesn't sympathetically affect Hazamada in the manner of other Stand/Stand User pairs. Interesting.

i think it turns kinda bad when it turns out yusuke's half-demon but that's pretty late in the series

They can't have Sabat voicing him, because they have to get the voice actors for Ed, Edd and Eddy to do that part.

I cancelled mine last year because none of the other animes in there seem interesting to me. I hope they are still accepting debit.
