Great start! The art style is so much better compared to part 4. Will definitely be following!

LIke everyone else, I thought it was a great start to the part with my favorite JoJo, erm, GioGio. Glad they're doing it as a straight through 3-cours instead of splitting it.

Personally, Ono Kensho's voice wasn't quite what I expected for Giorno. Don't get me wrong, I love his voice. But I was expecting someone with a more elegant, somewhat higher voice. Maybe Kimura Ryouhei? No, that's not quite right. Shimazaki Nobunaga could have been a good choice. Well, I didn't like Murase Ayumu as Hinata Shouyo at first either, but now I can't imagine anyone else playing that role. I'm sure I'll grow to love Kensho as Giorno as well.

How about Sakurai Takahiro? I thought it was him when Giorno first spoke. Though I'm sure Ono will do a great work.

Also, my fave Jojo is either Joseph or Josuke (depending on my mood), but maybe Gio will take the spot.
Ono Kensho has been doing a lot more diverse roles the last several seasons, which I think is good. Probably because I've seen so much Mistah/Giorno fan art which portrays Giorno as a seriously sexy blond bombshell, my expectations were for a more feminine, elegant voice. (Hanae Natsuki could maybe fit the Giorno in my mind, though I'm almost as tired of his voice as Kaji Yuuki's.) For my personal tastes, I've also heard Sakurai's comedy voice a bit too frequently lately, though I love his deeper drama voice a lot. It would have made Giorno even more masculine, but I could grow to like that too.

Taking the character as a whole, I probably do like Josuke best, or maybe Joseph. Giorno is my favorite character design. I should've specified that.

Sakurai is a great voice actor and I love him, but I think Ono reflects Giorno's age better, while still sounding nice and suave. Also, Sakurai wouldn't had been casted anyway since he voiced Rohan in Diamond is Unbreakable.

As an anime-only JoJo fan, the gaps between seasons have me forgetting how utterly weird this series is. I have a feeling I'm going to either love or hate Bruno. That line about jealousy had me rolling. Parts 4 and 2 are my favourite so far, wonder if this will score higher with me. Can't wait for the next episode.


Side note: where are these dudes buying their clothes? All this pec cleavage and heart-shaped cutout fashion is a bit risque, which establishment is making this happen? XD

Finally JoJo is back in my life weekly again.

I had my expectations in check since the staff who did wonders in the previous parts aren't here but dang was this episode great. I have so much to say but I'll keep it to a minimum. I can't wait for the next episode now.

The man is oozing with talent, he gives irrelevant characters really creative names like Leaky Eye Luca.

One thing though, is that the tension during Bruno questioning leaves a lot to be desired. Rather than just that short defusing music, they could of done something like letting the sound fade into the background, go in slow-motion when the train is stopping, zoom into the wheels screeching to a halt, and then transition back into Bruno starring at Giorno before he then leaves. meh...

I'm really liking it anyway, this is one of those JoJo episodes that really puts the 'bizarre' in Bizarre Adventure.

Just want to say that Bruno is probably one of the best characters in the series, super excited to see this dude at work. Also, this part has some of the best and most creative fight scenes in the series so look forward to it people.

Watch everything before, why skip out on anything this amazing franchise has to offer? Don't do that, you're also missing on alot of plot and backstory. You're basically jumping right to episode 114

One word. Incredible

Probably the best episode of the franchise so far. I hope they keep up this quality for the entire run, but I doubt it.

Just glad they got Yuya Sakaki form Arc-V to play Gio and can't believe Ygo shares voices actors just like JoJo

You can skip every part of Jojo and just read/watch the one you want, I started Jojo with this part on manga when the first season was released in Japan and it motivated me to continue the anime :p

I think david production just forgot how to do sholders, in fact, i think they just forgot what they learned from part 4 entirely, the astetic was great from there and it should have stayed that way, the animation is great, but the shadows are too thick, this is how part 3 should look like, not part 5

This was certainly a good surprise to see them going for an artstyle so close to the original source.

Looked weird at first after seeing our favorite midget from Part 4 having a redesign, but it took me a few minutes to adapt.

I've heard so much bad about part 5 that I went in with low expectations, and honestly am coming out of the other side impressed? Like, to be honest, I'm glad jojo is back around and really up for giving this a chance. Really hyped to see another part come to the animation scene!

Good episode so far, but I don't see the praise about how it's the best in the franchise yet like some people said. Now if they anímate some of the later, better fights well...yeah, that could be amazing.

Seems like they're gonna keep up a 4-5 chapters per episode pacing, with maybe some of the juiciest, more dialog heavy ones being 3 chapters. Not bad as long as it flows well. Going from my less favorite Part (Diamond is Unbreakable) to my second favorite (Vento Aureo) means I will probably keep an eye on this series weekly instead of just marathoning it just to get over with for the most part, so that's a plus too.

Great adaptation. Even though I finished the manga this summer and already know what's going to happen, still amazing way to introduce both Giorno and Bruno(which is my favorite in this series).

Not sure about Giorno's voice though. I still prefer his ASB/EOH voice. Same with Bruno as Shirou from Fate Series, but I'll get used to it.

Can't wait for 2nd one!

An image that can resume my opinion:

But I dont now if in Blu Ray they fix this.
Overall I put a solid 7 to JoJo Part 4 anime.
I meant that I hope that David Production put the same love to this adaptation of part 5 than they put on part 3.
Still frames are most likely going to look better in manga compared to anime for most of the time, so I don't think this comparison is fair, and yes they changed it a bit in the blu rays, but not a huge difference, but for the Blu RAY They fixed other parts, and added more animation to make it looks more visually appealing, and uncenors


bruh they fucked up Killer Queen's design. Don't give me this "well it's animated" shit.

Okay, time for Part 5!

Wow, the animation and artstyle got even better than they were (and they have ready been very high quality ones). :o

Giorno seems to be a cool guy. I wonder if he is gonna be as cool as Josuke from the previous Part.

Koichi meeting Giorno was hilarious, especially when Reverb Act 3 appeared. xD

New Stands look great, and we were able to see only a glimpse of two of them. I'm looking forward to seeing next episodes, hehe.

Good lord Dio had a son?! Well, they are similar, Dio hated repeating lines, he also hated people that did useless things... Yup, these are quite alike. I hope Dio's son is not the epitome of evil like Dio. The guy at the end had a really creepy ability, true, but I like it. Good episode.

Bruno got some creepy ability, I wonder who the enemy is if Dio's son our good guy is
