I realized Kakyoin and Rei from Free! were the same VA when I was watching both shows at the same time and that became real hard to unhear at times.

Josuke is also my favorite JoJo and a lot of the reasons why are seeded here. The turtle and Josuke giving the upperclassmen every chance to end the situation without conflict has been discussed, but Josuke turning down the money is my favorite thing.

To me, it's not that weird for Josuke to apologize and not accept the money. It's an early sign that Josuke is mature enough to understand his parents situation and that maybe taking the money and giving it to his mother may not exactly be the best thing. Him apologizing is odd on it's face, but it shows that he has quite a bit of emotional depth for a fifteen year old, enough that he feels guilt that his birth is what's caused strife in the Joestar household, even if it's not his fault.

These whole first chapters really start giving Josuke a lot more depth than you'd expect a shonen protagonist in 1992 to have and I'm excited to watch you explore that.

Maybe you're keeping this mind when you say this and I'm dense, but I'm pretty sure the reason that happened is explained at the end of the Aqua Necklace fight.

Not sure what the policy on spoilers in this thread is, so sorry if I'm being lovely and vague.

Please put anything about stuff that happens later than the latest Let's Read chapter in spoiler tags, including remarks about what will or will not be important going forward. And it's a little too late for this one in this instance, but I'd also appreciate stuff like "this will/won't be explained" also be put in spoiler tags. Thanks for abiding by these admittedly inconvenient guidelines!

I enjoyed the Scott Pilgrim movie more than the comic, fwiw. The premise behind Scott Pilgrim doesnt have enough legs to stand up for 600 pages, but it can fill out an hour and a half of movietime. Macauley Culkins brother had really good timing with all of his deadpan jokes too
Basically this. The comic was fine, but even completely separated from the source material, the movie's still a fun visual spectacle.

JoJo strikes a thin line between goofy while taking itself completely seriously almost all of the time. There's never a wink to the audience about how SO BIZARRE THIS ADVENTURE IS, this crazy poo poo just happens. That guy's controlling the Sun, this baby can go into dreams, this dude is named Vanilla Ice, that's just how the world works.

Only when you finish reading, do you pause and go "....jesus christ what is happening." JoJo is serious and so much fun in the moment, that even when you're thinking back to how goofy it was that there was a vampire named Vanilla Ice destroying space with his ability named Cream, it never devalues that experience and it just all feels genuine.

I love JoJo.

Kakyoin is the best Crusader, he is very strong and handsome and my friend.

He sorta laid off on practicing the Ripple in 2009, but then got back into it hard in 2011 and has just been getting younger since.

I really like that you can see Hol Horse stalking the group in the first Stardust Crusaders OP. That and the Nile fly that Star Platinum sees in the DIO photo being included in the DIO staircase are probably favorite OP easter eggs.

I'm not going to lie, if I had a stand priority one would be getting through button mashing sections in video games.
Kakyoin doing a sick pose only for Hierophant Green's hand to burst out and start jamming on the d-pad is probably my favorite part of Stardust Crusaders.

Joseph yelling behind Kakyoin everytime he does something cool only adds to how great that fight is. If Kakyoin had beaten D'Arby, it would probably be my favorite fight in all of Part 3.

Vanilla Ice and Cream are loving terrifying. Even for how goofy it looks to see Vanilla Ice's dumb face popping out of Cream, Cream is still a nightmare monster. I rewatched that fight recently and the sounds they use for Cream eating and moving around are just ace horror noises.

Kakyoin's kill count is Gray Fly and Death and he def gets an assist on Hanged Man. I'm even willing to give him Lovers since all Jotaro did was beat up Steely Dan after Kakyoin did the work of neutralizing the Stand.

Shoulda won against Gamer D'Arby too, that was bullshit. :colbert:

I was a bit surprised by the large amount of negativity, but I can understand complaints of it being such a sharp change and that noses look weird, but I dunno, I feel it will look fine. I saw some people complaining that the new style looks to similar to other current anime, but after how good Parts 1 - 3 are and how over the top Crazy Diamond appearing and repairing the piece of paper is, I trust DavidPro.

These Let's Reads still real good. I recently read through pieces Part 4 again in color, and oh man am I excited for this anime and further Let's Reads.

Here's that two set of panels, but in color.



e: The best part is Josuke and Koichi could've totally just kept running and passed them while they were distracted, but they didn't cause Josuke wanted to be a dick. The classic Joseph Joestar move.
