Mikasa said: How can they be fanboys with only 2 episodes in? This isn't SAO or Gintama (trololo reference) Simple, Jojo's Bizzare adventure the longest series and still running. Most of these "fanboys" have already read till Part 8. It's been there since 1986, these "fanboys" don't magically appear, they already exist way before this adaptation. -------------------------------------- and honestly, people calling this show "cliche" lol. Jojo's bizzare adventure is one of the oldest, they started the tropes of the shonen we know now. How can it be cliched when it's one of the series that created the tropes. |

| Oh man, I love JoJo! It's so wonderful to see an adaptation of an old-school, manly, over-the-top manga these days and we should really be grateful to have it. I was born in '86 so I'm not some old, nostalgic fan, I just really dig JoJo. It has everything: action, drama, suspense, friendship, love, revenge, ... it's different, it's fun and bizzare in every way. I wouldn't really mix it with other mainstream stuff, JoJo is just JoJo, it'll put hair on your chest and make a real man out of you (if you aren't one already). The 2nd episode was decently crafted. JoJo toughened some, and Dios thirst for domination will push him beyond the boundaries of reason. The pacing is nice and at any point we get to admire the unique art and poses and also the music in OP&ED. It feels like bits of gory scenes are missing and will be an additional selling pitch for the BR (quite common nowadays), but I don't really mind watching JoJo a few times over. |

| Just something that is weirdly alluring about this anime. I feel bad for people who dismiss because of the art-style though, it's shaping up to be really entertaining so far. |

The reboot of old series is freaking awesome, we need to wake up from the slumber this current era has put us all, fortunately while far some bean of light can be seen in a huge dark tunnel... |

27CansOfTuna said:  Dio keeps me interested (all his poses) and that hovercar Dio, lol, but all in all this was kind of a really boring episode. Dio is the only good character design while everyone else is just too old and way too buff that it becomes unappealing. The lack of friendship stuff just made this rough to get through (I loved the opening football thing) but it was all for naught when both revealed theyve been faking it and clearly have no aspiration to rebuild any at all, so I doubt it will ever come again. Hopefully the series improves from here and gets better, or else this will be a rough 26 or so episodes. I don't think JoJo is for you, to be honest. |

| I like how new fans often ignore the vast influence Jojo had on the whole industry over the past decades...not. Is it so hard to read the Wikipedia article before assuming the most adventurous and incorrect things about a 25-year-long series after you only watched two episodes? |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Amazing episode once again. Blows my mind that there's people who don't like this. This is what anime is all about! |
| My god that was amazing, definitely finishing this show. Don't wanna wait until next week though >_> This is getting freaking awesome already... |
| Man it's tough waiting a full week between episodes. It's something to look forward to though. Also, I don't like the opening. I think the 3D looks stupid -_- show still godlike though |
| Okay... Before saying anything i didnt read the manga... And yes. I am judginf with only 2 episodes. And IT IS F***** AWESOME! If this part is the worst part of manga, i cant think other parts. Btw Dont feed the troll. |
| Ok first of all the OP, definitely the most creative out of the year and consistent with the tone of the show. David Production's adaptation of this show is seriously a manga brought to life. This show is so melodramatic but has so much GAR! These past two episodes have got my blood pumping after each epsiode with the over acting of all the characters in this show. I don't like how this episode made Dio look like a fool. Last episode portrayed him as this cunning terrifying villain but in this episode he resorts to alcohol because Jojo can finally stand up to him : /. Hopefully next episode Dio goes back to being a bastard DDDIIIOOO!!!!!! |
Dennoucoil said: If this part is the worst part of manga, i cant think other parts. Not exactly worst but just weaker when compared to later Parts where Araki knows what to do and knows which direction he'll take his story. |

Nagi- said: Garbage. The poses look more retarded animated. Dio flying while laying down was the funniest thing in that shit episode. 1/10. Psycho Pass is better. Cannot really understand how you can easily compare the two anime as they are so different in their approach. In fact I do not like the GAR artstyle and melodramatic story/posturing which looks dated now, but I won't score it like 1/10 (well, I don't like putting score on anime anyway) because I would praise its good OP/ED as well as respectful effort at adaptation (like those onomatopoeia that play such a prominent role in the manga). The story and artstyle is definitely not my taste but I would hesitate to give it a bottom score just because I do not like it. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

HibiChouchou said: Yeah I felt it kinda rushed a little. I am interested in seeing where this series is going, but I hope it’s not just a formula of Dio coming up with new ways to torment Jojo and Jojo overcoming it. Basically, the Pokemon plot treadmill. Do... Do you even know what this series is.... about? Pokemon plot treadmill with Dio coming up with ways to torment Jojo... lmfao. I think I died a little inside. |

SanderRX said: My inner Speedwagon doesn't approve of this. |
| WHAT THE HELL IS PSYCHOPASS!!!???? Seriously, what the hell is this anime? I have known about JoJo's for nearly 5 years. I have read all the way up to the later parts of Part 7 before taking a break. I hear all this JoJo hate. Don't watch it, don't be on here. I love this series so much. Johnathan Joestar is awesome. Here is what I do with anime. The 3 episode rule. If the series does not convince you by episode 3, drop it. Also, don't complain about it if you keep watching it. The ED is awesome. The OP is awesome. I love the animation, the sound effects. I can understand why they have eliminated the gore. That is fine. One NaruBleaPiece sucks compared to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or Hokuto no Ken. Deal with it. |

| Can we talk about something else instead of all these pointless squabbles? Like how fabulous Speedwagon's hat is, for example. Or how the part where Roundabout starts playing and transits into the ED is just so glorious. They really chose an appropriate song for the ED. |

Episode 3 will capture the series perfectly. From there, it will be the ride we have all been waiting for. |

| Yeah, this thread is getting kind of ridiculous from both sides. Can we not discuss the merits and faults of the show, so far, without pointless insults? Anyway, I'm still not entirely sure what I feel about Jojo's style. It's over the top in a way that makes me smile, and I find it amusing how these seemingly random poses are thrown in here and there. My favorite probably being the one Dio makes in the first episode when Jojo busts through the door yelling "Diiiioooo!" But, I think some people let the campiness of the series bother them, which I can understand as I was the same when I was reading the Phantom Blood manga. Strangely it isn't bothering me as much now and I'm more or less enjoying the ride. Edit: Also, it's always important to keep in mind that this is only the SECOND episode of a part of the series that people, even fans, generally consider the weakest part of the series. Just like people shouldn't judge a Brotherhood or Gintama based purely on the first few episodes, it really shouldn't be any difference here. Some of you people may very well end up eating your words. |

| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| It seems obvious people are just trolling for the sake of trolling. That or they're one of 'those' people who let themselves judge a show after only 2 episodes and nothing more. If everyone had that mindset then 'popular' shows like One Piece and Naruto would be rotting in the gutter. Also have to love people complaining about cliches in Jojo when Jojo was one of the innovators. Half of the shounen tropes we know now come from this very series. The episode was good. Next episode will be better and that's when the series really takes off. I can't wait until a certain gentleman appears after the Dio confrontation. |

| Damn this is over the top, but it's great. I really like the pacing of the series so far too. How the hell does this go on for so long though? I'll definitely stick around to find out |
| The nature of the series will change in episode 3. This is why the 3 episode rule is so vital, and also, why I agree with the pacing. Dio has discovered the secrets of the stone mask. Who knows what he is going to do with it?! Vampires? Pshh, Johnathan has without a doubt found Dio's fingerprints in his crime to poison George Joestar. How will this be resolved? FYI, I was having a bit of fun so being sanctimonious about my argument really is chaffing. The whole point of what I was saying was why are we talking about Psycho Pass. Just saying, I am standing up for Phantom Blood because I believe in the story's quality that much. I rarely ever do that for another show. |

| God, and I thought the E7:AO threads could get bad... With that show I could at least understand the controversy --- here, though? Flabbergasted. No other word to adequately describe my feelings. |
| glad i watched ep2. it changed my mind and i decided to pick it up ;) |

| The celshading we gorgeous. It really did a good job at capturing the shading and lines from the manga. Kind of makes me want to see more anime made like that in their entirety. As for the episode, 5/5. t's fking retarded to compare an animated shounen show based on its origin. Looks like a panel for panel adaptation to me which makes comparisons pretty easy to make. Of course said comparison requires you have read or be reading the manga. It would be retarded to make manga comparisons if you never read it. |

Most of the case when you got hold of its origin, you will enjoy the adaption more and ignore its flaws ---> Look at SAO, LB thread for comparison. Meanwhile, FMA 2003 version didn't follow the manga, but it was still a good series to watch. It does not require you to access its origin(in this case, manga). Even if you've read the manga, there would be nothing much to compare, see what I mean? Ofc we all have diverse opinions. You can say whatever you like, and I will not disagree or changing my POV. |

Also seeing that the fans wanted a more accurate adaptation when the manga was closer to finishing kind makes it seem like after comparing the two the fans really, really wanted to see the rest of the manga adapted into anime. Ofc we all have diverse opinions. You can say whatever you like, and I will not disagree or changing my POV. At this point it is just you hugging your opinion that red is green and not wanting to admit you are colorblind. You can keep being wrong as long as you like but likewise I will keep pointing it out whenever I like. |

There's no wrong in opinion sir, an adaptation should not be compared for its origin as long as you're an anime viewer or you want to enjoy the true merits of the show. Most of the case when you got hold of its origin, you will enjoy the adaption more and ignore its flaws ---> Look at SAO, LB thread for comparison. I see you didn't read this part and quote the para after, which make the second para became somewhat untrustworthy. Read it again. I haven't played LB! visual novel, so I see the show as boring, bland, comedy was all random, meanwhile most of pp who like the show have already played its VN, and it was said to be accurately adapted from the origin. one more proof, and it bears the same meaning as every threads I came across MAL. How am I colorblind? just because I don't like Jojo that make me colorblind? I gave my points for disliking Jojo this ep several pages ago. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=503571&show=100#msg17674041 Okay have fun then. |

Are there any facts to prove my opinion wrong? Opinions are just different, and it might be true to someone, but it can be wrong to another person. Give me a valid fact, with credible reference, not just only with your so called opinion and I will admit I'm wrong. |

Opinion: Adaptations shouldn't ever be compared to source, doing so is retarded. Fact: Adaptations are routinely compared to source by animators when doing key frames, writing the script, and character designs. After production fans compare the finished anime against the work it is modeled after. See: Your example of FMA. If what you say is try then everyone involved in adapting anime is retarded and that simply is not the case. Opinions are just different, and it might be true to someone, but it can be wrong to another person. People can be wrong and be extension any opinion they hold could be wrong. |
