| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Whooo, the epsiode was perfect. Great opening too. Speedwagon was superb and Jojo is a real gentlemen |
| This opening was epic, I didn't even care about the 3d CGI because I got all my favourite manga panels to music that reminded me of Hokuto No Ken. Speedwagon was as awesome as everyone expected him to be and next week, it'll finally be time for I can't fucking wait. A week has never been this long for me. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| It was more slow-paced this time which is great! And this OP was so good, I usually hate CGI but this time it was really good and the song itself is great. I also really liked how Roundabout started before the ED and fitted the scene. |
| Can't wait for the subs to be up! I NEED MY JOJO FIX! |
| That opening is just wow O_O I liked this episode, cheesy as always and sometimes I felt it's even cheesier than the manga. Events still going quite fast but that's just as expected. Censor wasn't really bad but it's a late night show so they could have done it better. |
 |
| Here's the OP if anyone wants to see it early. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k1477AynnSESQp3rrLa |
 |
| No matter how try had is the show, this one *cough is never going to be the best show of this season *cough due to its popularity, it can only be one of the top *cough But I'm not too fond of the art styles though. Anime has evolved, now look back at this, although it's one of the classic but pretty much mediocre, it's still a normal shounen ... |

| good episode But honestly I can't stand its style..imo it's over the top But people seems to love it, so I will stick around to see where it will go. I'm hoping for something old shounen-ish and epic |
| I thought personally this episode was great. I'm not really a fan of the art style myself, but it is faithful to the manga in that respect so it really isn't something to complain about in my opinion. I'm excited for the next big character to show up! |
| Too good |
 |
| I'm starting to question the people saying that Part 1 sucked. It seems like a very good mystery/horror show to me. Nonetheless, a great episode. |

Why should I get out? this is the anime adaptation and it has nothing to do with the original manga, it's fking retarded to compare an animated shounen show based on its origin. Just because its manga was classic, doesn't mean that the anime itself is good, nor classic. Sorry but I don't like the manga much, although it's classic, but too bad I like FMA better. Jojo still holds its stand against most of the shounen show and has its audience, which is a good thing. Try to make me get out. |

| Why would I lose my time? I implied that if you don't like the anime, leave or stop saying bullshit. That's all. |

| Voicing my opinion is bullshit? That's weird, just because I don't like a show, doesn't mean I should stop watching it, now you sound like a fanboy to me. Try to post something like "if you don't like the show, then stop watching it" in SAO, LB or any other ani thread, you gonna get slapped in the face, true story. |
| Loved this episode. |
| Great opening, it's really cool to see all the main characters at the beginning. Anyway, another rushed episode. It was good, even though some scenes like the football one were strange because of the flying guys. At least Jonathan already is the strong and manly gentleman that I remember. I love how the fights are bizarre already too, but the censorship disappointed me. Oh well, it can't be helped, I guess. Next week: Ore wa ningen wo yameruzo, JoJo! |
| I really hate having to go over this, because I hate giving expectations for ANYTHING that people have yet to see, but feel it needs to be addressed. Something new or prospective viwers need to understand, is that when individuals will mention "Part 1 being the weakest", they aren't necessarily saying it's bad, but simply the weakest, or even "worst" part. "Worst", however, is a relative term; that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad in any way, in a broader sense. Even then, there's plenty people out there I've seen swear up and down that Part 1 is by far their favorite one, and that's the beauty with Jojo - there's truly no wrong answer. As a general audience consensus I've seen over time, however, I can say that most will mention Part 1 being the weakest. That being said, I've thoroughly enjoyed the adaption up to this point, and in ways, prefer what it's done to the original, playing on Araki's old weaknesses and turning them into awesome camp-material that just works. As for episode 2 specifically, again, they've effectively condensed the material in about the best possible way, keeping the pace brisk, but perfectly comprehensible. |

| Jojo's by far one of the most fun anime of the fall season. I was really concerned about the hardness that is bring Jojo to another media other than the manga, but the result is being pretty much great up until now. As for the parts matter, IMO, part 1 is batter than part 2. I think both are great, not to mention that Joseph Joestar is one of the greatest protagonists ever made, but the story of part 2 is not as good as the story of part 1, not to mention that the villains in Battle Tendency are not as captivating as Dio. Please notice that this is just my opinion. Sorry, my english is just bad. |
| SOOO GOOOOOD. Why is Jojo so good. ;w; This episode was just amazingggg, and the OP!! I never thought the day would come where I would actually like the 3D used in an anime. I seriously can't wait for next ep! |
| Lol, looks like there are some people who are too accustomed to generic, cookie-cutter moe faces. Anyway, good episode. Dat Speedwagon. The opening fits the feel of Jojo so perfectly. |
MasterKingJC said: Lol, looks like there are some people who are too accustomed to generic, cookie-cutter moe faces. My exact thoughts. |
| Pretty good episode.JoJo look alike Kenshiro.OP was sick but ED is good. |
 |
Dangerr said: This exactly. Something new or prospective viwers need to understand, is that when individuals will mention "Part 1 being the weakest", they aren't necessarily saying it's bad, but simply the weakest, or even "worst" part.[... ...] As a stand alone manga, PB is still entertaining in its own right. |
leokiko said: MasterKingJC said: Lol, looks like there are some people who are too accustomed to generic, cookie-cutter moe faces. My exact thoughts. How about you trying some shounen-ish stuffs nowadays such as FMA, Gintama, Magi? Ofc this show has its charms, such as the art styles, classic type, but sorry, until now there's nothing much special, just like the guy above me said. Let's just face with the criticisms. I'm not saying that it's bad, but there's nothing special yet to be liked. Oh well Psycho-pass is much more entertaining. Dropped this. |

| Great episode! I'm totally hooked up on this series. I'm getting shivers when I think how awesome animated fights will be. |

| I am simply in love with this show, great VA's, great pacing, and a unique art style that is very enticing and original. Man, if these are the weaker parts, JoJo must become incredible later on. |

| Duwang subs are out. Obviously, the best translations for the series. What the hell! That OP is bloody perfect! Also, we can't say that there are no plans for the other parts after that. Of course, it doesn't mena they'll get an anime. Now be careful guys. The whole being the worst part is just people's opinions. I myself think it's better than part 2, because I don't like the villains. But it has some of the better fights in the series. |

| Phantom Blood manga was good if you only look at the cheesiness and over the top action. Character development, backstories, Dio x JoJo relation and the story itself weren't that good actually. Not the worst shit of course, but if it weren't cheesy, it would be just bad. Still, the cheesiness is just too entertaining. It could be even worse and the cheesiness would still make it a lot better. The episode was done well and some scenes were even more hilarious than in the manga. I just couldn't stop laughing at how big JoJo was in the first scene. It reminded me a lot of Hokuto no Ken, since some people had ridiculous proportions and heights. I don't remember if the manga had that many poses, but like, every second scene had those BIZARRE poses haha. I thought they'd go one chapter further and end it there with a cliffhanger, but this was good as well. Too bad the episode was censored. If they censored this, I really wonder how the next episode will be like, since they are far worse in that matter. Can't believe that JoJo turned into BD material. Oh well, since I read the manga, I won't miss much out. Prepare for the blackness of censors next week haha. |

Anime has devolved if anything!! So much damn generic crap, you know whats mediocre?: fanservice harem and moe! Totally a downgrade, you are free to not like the series or its artsyle but dont speak none-sense, screw stories , screw characters, all it takes nowadays to make anime is panties, tits and cute girls doing cute things, evolve my **** Art style evolved?? Yea sure, What bad tastes you have to like supposed art style that looks the damn same, its impossible to distinguish characters nowadays, the same shitty generic and cheap art-style and designs used over and over again., MasterKingJC said: Lol, looks like there are some people who are too accustomed to generic, cookie-cutter moe faces. Anyway, good episode. Dat Speedwagon. The opening fits the feel of Jojo so perfectly. TRUE! And they eve believe this is an "evolution"...hilarious. Takana_no_Hana said: Oh well Psycho-pass is much more entertaining. Dropped this. Oh well, not all its lost with you yet then as psycho-pass has lot of potential, gets a plus for openly saying it aims to counter so called "evolution". |

"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
Takana_no_Hana said: You are quite right. until now there's nothing much special, just like the guy above me said. Let's just face with the criticisms. I'm not saying that it's bad, but there's nothing special yet to be liked. As I've been painstakingly trying to point out in this thread, Part 1 is drastically different from the later parts. And this current part ISN'T what JJBA is famous for. Wait, let me further clarify that: the whole Za Warudo and Toki yo tomare is what it's famous for, but that is far from what I like about the series as a whole. As a long time fan, I certainly would prefer if you wait till at least the next part (Battle Tendency) before you consider whether to drop it or not, but of course, ultimately, I do understand JJBA really isn't for everyone. |
9988 said: Bad taste? then tell me, what are they? Was it Clannad As, Ef, Spice and wolf in my list? or was it code geass? FMAB, steins;gate, DtB, F/Z, Madoka ? Tell me then. I would gladly listen to you about your "bad taste" definition. This show is pretty much shounen-ish, but it's for the older generation, ages ago. Remember that the manga was published in 1986, imagine that? It aimed for shounen, means young boy at the current time, now most of them have become mature, the style hasn't changed itself a bit, look at the top shounen manga, bleach, naruto, gintama, FMA, kuroko but nowhere did this "JoJo" appeared, because it has lost its position, its style hasn't changed a bit, it still lives in its glorious and delusional past, unless those adults mentioned above decided to read(again) and call it "shounen", cause young generation nowadays hardly find anything interesting in it. And if it was traditional style(Jojo's style) which applied for all those shounen show nowadays, they would have been cliche and bored as fk! This applies to any genres, or demographic, too much moe? then they will be down graded too. Just look at those anime deserve to be on top nowadays, they aren't only improving in arts, but also in the story/plot themselves. And each of them serve different audience. You know what have been evolved? F/Z is the perfect example for the evolution, exceeding in story/plot, chars development and graphic. Especially the psychology and philosophy lie behind. I'm sure the journey of Elric brothers in FMA is much more epic than JoJo's adventure. Clannad has popularized the drama genre to most of anime viewers, the only old show I've watched was grave of the fireflies, but if I tell my friend to watch it, I better not. Gintama is pretty much another perfect example to show us which direction has shounen evolved so far. If you've missed them, then I might tell you that you've missed a lot, and probably you would just hide yourself in history books. |

| So, basically you deny the impact this series had during its creation time as well as today because it doesn't hold up to your self-imposed standards on today's media? |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
Takana_no_Hana said: Actually, the reason why you no longer see JJBA on the top shounen list is because the later parts are in fact seinen manga. The later parts of JJBA target very different demographic from the examples you provided, so obviously you're not going to see JJBA on the same list as bleach, naruto, gintama etc, because you know, totally different focus.but nowhere did this "JoJo" appeared, because it has lost its position Takana_no_Hana said: Look, you don't like JJBA, that's fine and all, but can you not make stuffs up? JJBA is actually one of the few manga that constantly changes its style. See my above point. Steel Ball Run is VERY different from Phantom Blood. I can understand if you just outright say you don't like the style, but seriously to say that JJBA hasn't change a bit is really pushing it. its style hasn't changed a bit, it still lives in its glorious and delusional past |

Just look at those anime deserve to be on top nowadays, they aren't only improving in arts, but also in the story/plot themselves. And each of them serve different audience. Re-read your post and the complain, you clearly said "Anime has evolved", which is totally non.sense and stand by what I said, did you brake it down to specific series? No you openly mean it as a general perspective, so did I, so I repeat anime of anything has devolved into an era shallowness and generic crap. Did I said there are no good series, no, there are good ones, some awesome, some masterpieces, very few but there are, the rest is generic harem, moe, fansevice season after season. Also I´ll say it directly you lack taste if you believe "art-style" has evolved and shallow for grounding your opinion on looks, like I said, nowadays screw stories and characters, the core of what makes something great, NOT looks. Again, I repeat you are free to not like the art-style, but its totally non-sense your so called "anime has evolved", and this remark alone is what I am referring to. I am speaking about anime NOT MANGA, I am clearly challenging you on your anime remarks, manga thankfully its indeed not in the sorry state anime is in today, if its not clear yet, I am specifically talking about the anime, not even the art-style in manga, this one has indeed got better, some generic stuff manga thou but not even far to its anime counterpart. Wanna speak about manga, I dont want to but some of the ones you mention are good indeed and since you are so obsessed with arts-style, your Bleach you mention has the crappiest-laziest art style of of all current manga out there, at the very least one of the worsts, there even a good thread about it here, and the story became shittier and shittier, no wonder the anime got cancelled. Naruto was good at first, became crap as years went on, dropped it, people parying that it get finished soon, there will be nothing but joy just like it happened with bleach. Lastly stories and characters never age and I repeat, judging something as old because its art.style its so very shallow and so very of contemporary fans that say they cannot stand older anime, that they look "dated". I welcome ANY DAY ANY TIME your so called old age, old school, dated looks or whatever you wish to call them over the generic crap art-style of todays -most- anime. |
Sheesh man, calm down you guys.  |
9988 said: So does the show have anything interesting so far which are worthy to praise? Lemme make it clear to you, in the past there were no definitions of harem, moe, fanservices. And the anime industry wasn't developed like it is right now. How about imagine bringing all the industry back to the old era, you would be fed up with cliche, mediocre adventure stories. The industry has never stopped evolving, you can still see some good products, and by all means, Jojo was one of the shiny thing in the past, and the rest wasn't got much attention. There were bad and good shows in the past also. |
