Seventh Stand User is actually the best Jojo game. It's an RPGMaker fangame that asks the question "What if YOU were a Stardust Crusader?" Featuring 18 different Stands with different playstyles and 19 endings, it's got a lot of content. It's got references to future parts in it, but anything that's not a contextless cameo is optional and out of the way to see.

Are those borrowed sprites from Pokemon?

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.

I'd be game if I wasn't up to chapter 377 already. I don't think I can wait without JoJo for 3 months. :negative:

I know someone who started to watch Jojo, and quit like 5 episodes into Part 3 and refuses to watch the rest of it. What a sad person.

I know that "it gets good after just watch on" is often bullshit, but the fifth episode of SDC is the one with Polnareff and Avdol, how could you quit with that? The next two are kinda not-as-good as far as fights go though. Right after them: Ebony Devil, Yellow Temperance, and Emperor + Hanged Man.

I don't think Jotaro is meant to come across as sexist from his comments to women, though I will admit that the parts of Stardust Crusaders where women fawn over him even after he calls them bitches was pretty uncomfortable. It doesn't help that half of the female Stand Users fall in love with either him or Jospeh while one of the others pretends to fall in love with Polnareff.

I saw the whole "bitches" thing as Jotaro being annoyed at the romantic attention in general. The word usage is uncomfortable, what with it being a gendered insult and all, but I feel that it's much less "loving women" and more "loving people annoying me with their attraction". Not that I expected dudes to fawn over Jotaro in 1989, but if they had, he'd probably have a similar reaction, at least judging by his personality.

Definitely not the highest point of the series, though. :smith:

Apparently not watching the entirety of Parts 1 and 2 with my girlfriend was a bad idea.

I'll have to make up with the second half of Part 3.

I would be, but ever since got my girlfriend into JoJos I've been wanting to watch the best parts together with her.

Next up is the first D'Arby, all the way until the end.

If I were to drop :10bux: (or is it 5?) it'd be either a JoJo avatar or a penguin guy I use on most sites.

Liking those designs. Very much liking how Part 4 seems to be 'softer' in terms of visuals than Part 3, it really fits in well with the small town aesthetic.
Hoping the rap rumours are true, a pop-ish rap would be pretty fun. Maybe something like Fight The Power? DEFINITELY All Star for the ED.

Jotaro ver. Ka is also fine, he's not a short guy. And, remember that in SDC, he got stabbed in the stomach and that hit his belt, so there's precedent.

I wish I had a Stand that'd let me jump forward to Fridays. Why must there still be another friday before Friday??

There's a song for that :v:

But, same. Do we have an airdate yet? Like, April 1st, or April 29th?

Viz will be simulcasting part 4 and streaming the previous three parts, which pretty much means Jojo's gonna be on Hulu.

Does that mean that the release schedule for non-Hulu streaming services that some of us have to use will be changed?

This is similar to how I feel about JoJos and machismo. It's a very masculine thing, the characters are trim and muscular (not bodybuilders, but STR wasn't their dump stat by any stretch), engaging in traditional macho pasttimes (fighting), but without a lot of the trappings of modern masculinity. A lot of guys now (or even in 1990) wouldn't own $2k clothes (Jotaro in Part 3 does), because CLOTHES ARE 4 GIRLS (not that I agree), whereas JJBA revels in that kind of extravagance.
Reminds me a bit of what little that I've read from Victorian stuff (maybe it's just that I'm reading Pride and Prejudice now), or even later stuff (Downton Abbey for example). Like, Josuke isn't "well-tailored" as an explicit gently caress-you to anyone, it's just that the notion that men who take such good care in their appearance doesn't seem to exist in JoJo.
