I'm loving Giorno being an unabashed dick. He truly is his father's son.

Fighting Gold feels a bit like a typical shonen opening, but in a different way than Chase. It’s still cool, though.

I like that Bruno's added the extending zipper-fist to his repertoire of attacks after seeing Giorno use it on him. Or maybe it was already his and he just suffered the indignity of having one of his own tricks turned back on him. Either way, it's a cool move.

Futaba Anzu posted:the original lovely fan translations must have been really lovely because I can't see how anyone could be divisive about part 5 It's almost a shame the Dance was such a masterpiece, because Mista's horrible bullet gremlins kind of got overshadowed. I'm happy they still got their fair share of attention, though.

I was actually looking forward to Part 5 getting animated because I wanted to see it benefit from a translation that wasn't a complete mess. Someone made a significantly better translation of the manga, though.

It's cool. Jotaro bluffing his way through the poker game is easily one of the best moments of the series. It's always satisfying to see somebody win a poker game through some good old-fashioned mind games and poker faces as opposed to some good old-fashioned luck.

Moody Blues beating the poo poo out of Illuso while making VCR noises and dial tones is so, so good. DavidPro's decision to incorporate its recording motif into the sound design is going to pay off dividends.

Abbacchio might be missing a hand and gallons of blood, but at least he got to hear Giorno screaming in mortal agony. That counts for something, right?

I love that Araki put his own spin on the classic story of a novice who steps up to reach his true potential and fulfill his mentor's wishes after he's killed by their enemies, except the protagonist of this coming-of-age story is an assassin with self-esteem issues and his newfound confidence just puts our actual hero into deep poo poo.

New OP is cool, but not the best Jojo's has ever had. I'm also not a big fan of how the others never really connected the dots except for Giorno, but this fight still gets me really tense because miscommunication just makes me anxious in general.

There's just something really fun about the bad guys trying their best not to attract Narancia's attention. Just seeing these hardened mafia thugs desperately trying not to get wrecked by a skinny, undergrown dimwit makes me want to laugh, even if the dimwit is actually pretty smart when it comes to life-or-death fights and has a miniature fighter plane on his side. https://twitter.com/dril/status/553268372331573248

I love how Carne's death ended up turning the Tyrrhenian Sea into an Italian Bermuda Triangle. You gotta wonder what the conspiracy theorists make of the airplane crash and the increase in casualties. Hell, there are likely some Stand-users who have zero idea of what's going on.

Every time I saw that kid with the pink hair, there was a voice screaming NO NO NO NO NO in the back of my head. Abbacchio’s demise itself got me really bad. I could feel a lump in my throat forming when Narancia was having his breakdown.

By itself, Green Day would come right behind Ratt as the most disgusting Stand so far for me, but the fact it's being used by a former doctor who records snuff films and gave his patients just enough anesthesia for them to wake up and feel everything he was cutting up puts it over the top.

As soon as Narancia started talking about all the cool stuff he was going to do once they finished up with Diavolo while the soundtrack swelled, I felt pure, undistilled resignation. I already knew he was going to die, but they really wanted you to know he was absolutely done for.

My mental image of Diavolo is anchored directly to King Crimson instead of his tatted-up rock star look at this point. Pouring one out for Doppio, the best lieutenant a mafia don could ask for.

This ending is disliked for some already apparent reasons, but I like that Bruno the good dad hosed over Diavolo the bad dad one last time and finally gave up his life in the process, even if the method by which he did it was an extension of the light behind their heads nonsense.

The guy spent the entire part running and hiding from enemies and bystanders alike, but now suddenly his pride is at stake and he refuses to run when facing the most ridiculous adversary he's ever met. His 15-year-old daughter: Hey Giorno, Diavolo’s gonna run away. Man in his 40s: No I’m not, you little brat, gently caress you-

Giorno reversing the hijack and doing the DIO pose blew my mind. I got so excited over something so conceptually simple, yet visually spectacular. It seems to me that the coda with Rolling Stones simply reinforced the theme of "the journey is just as important as the destination". Bruno was always going to die young, but if he'd touched the stone, the chances of our heroes toppling Diavolo would have been far more bleak. It's further condemnation of Diavolo's viewpoint that only the results matter, more dirt piling onto his bodiless grave in a manner of speaking. And now, it's time to end things with a dance party.
