I wonder if Zeppeli remembers how many frogs he has killed in order to master the Ripple. |
| Nilvius, it seems like we share similar tastes in anime. I do not think this is rushed at all. We got a training montage. It could of been a lot shorter. I guess most battle shounen fans cannot fathom a series actually progressing fast. Compare this to Naruto or Bleach any day of the week in terms of speed. |

| *Looking the comments above..* Actually the episode wasn't that rushed and the animation quality was amazing. |
Kuronoo said: *Looking the comments above..* Actually the episode wasn't that rushed and the animation quality was amazing. It's rushed actually. There were cut scenes in this episode -Erina as the cold nurse, when Speedwagon first visits Jojo in the morning. -Jack the Ripper's "faking" before killing the women. -Parts where Jack the Ripper actually attacks Dio -Parts where Dio shows off to Jack and that's just the first few pages of volume 3. azbc1209 said: Those dialogues are childish as hell, and the animations were so bad that I began to wonder whether this was made recently or ages ago. Ironically yes, this was made in 1986, and just got animated now. For this modern standard it can feel a bit cheesy and outdated, but this was one of the most popular series at that time. This is the very first Jojo anime to be adapted as a TV series. But there was an OVA about the 3rd part though, this new one is the very 1st part. David Animation is actually doing a good job recreating that old nostalgic '80s manga. So this anime was specifically made targeting old anime fans. It's not trying to pander the moe industry. |

| The episode really wasn't rushed and the stuff that was cut (about 6 pages out of 7 Chapters) weren't all that important. Can't wait for next week! |
| Most of the scenes that they shortened (such as the early pages with Jack the Ripper and Erina) weren't really that necessary and were perfectly fine to skim over. The only part that I hated seeing them have to rush though was the introduction (as well as the backstory) of Zeppeli. Punching the frog especially seemed so much more epic and drawn out in the manga somehow, and I really wanted there to be more buildup than what was given. Overall though, this is still a fun episode. ^^ |
| Good episode!!! Getting into this series now:D |
 |
| After the awesomeness and testosterone high of the third episode, the fourth one kind of pale in comparison. I could understand why some people can't get into this anime, compare with the ones that are popular nowadays they from two different world. Me for one I enjoy it and very refreshing from the annoying pussies worthless heroes that plague anime at the moment. |
If you view anime as an art, See, a mindset like that could certainly make for a big difference between the people who are enjoying Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and themselves. Everybody who loves Jojo already knows that the plots are dumb and goofy as hell; that's one of the reasons why we love it. It's a hilarious series to witness, and it only continues to get more goofy, outrageous, and fun from Part 2 onwards. I'm sorry if anyone came here looking for a show that would tickle their psuedointellectual minds, because all they're going to get here is the supernatural shonen equivalent of a spaghetti western... with fabulous outfits. Also, if somebody actually thinks that Jojo is about invincible protagonists, then I don't know what to tell them, other than that they're judging much too prematurely. =P |

| This is just to say that Part 1 is almost finished. So maybe, you will change your opinion for part 2. |
| Don't try to justify your stupidness. Watching a show you dislike is dumb, period. The so bad it's good excuse doesn't exist, because if you are ENTERTAINED, then it's good for you. That is all. |
| Wow, what to say. This has to be some of the cheesiest, overblown, over-the-top, ridiculous anime that I have ever seen! And yet... I can't help but love it! The reactions are so over-exaggerated and everything about the (male) characters SCREAMS "I AM MANLY, SEE ME PUNCH SOMETHING" that it's incredibly entertaining. I couldn't help but laugh at the one part were zeppeli hit Jojo with the ripple, and all of a sudden, Jojo is like, "I cant even feel a thing in my broken arm! I can even lift this large rock!!" AND HE JUST LIFTS THIS LARGE, CONVIENIENTLY CONJURED ROCK THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! I seriously cracked up! |

True, I was also laughing when it was like: Oh my arm is healed, I can even lift this large rock! Genius comedy. This show is not for everyone and this is not a show everyone will like. Most people that like this either like old styles stuff or watched plenty of anime and just enjoy something different. On azbc1209's list I also saw that Madoka only got a 7 from him. But seeing his/her list he hasn't watched enough "generic" stuff to appreciate shows like this. Sure I only have 37 days right now but almost all of those days are from short, "normal" shows instead of 500 episodes Bleach, Dragon Ball etc. I didn't like this kind of stuff at the beginning too, but now I love these unique works. They're just art imo. I can't wait for more, amazing episode! |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Zeppeli's VA is great and the whole episode felt great despite the fact that they rushed through certain parts. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| New character, new power + new enemy(Already defeated) = Good Episode ;D |

| Why is the dialogue so intense. Everyone is screaming all the time or being overly dramatic even in normal conversation. I like the series so far, but the yelling is a bit distracting at times. |

| I think the episode is a bit rushed; a few scenes from the manga should've made it to this episode. Overall though, I still enjoyed it. The Ripple looks gorgeous and Mr.Zeppeli FTW! |
| I swear this seemed like 5 minutes!!!! |
 |
| Maybe I misread something in the manga, or it was badly translated, but wasn't he just supposed to not feel the pain? I think that the ripple wasn't actually healing. Nevertheless, this option is way better, as you can imagine him lifting a large rock with a broken arm without feeling pain, because well, that's the point, not feeling pain. Comparing to the translation of the manga, the lines really sound way more cheesy and simple. It's like they aren't even saying full sentences lol. You don't even need fansubs for Jojo haha. Too bad it was heavily censored. That Jack x horse scene was could have been more epic. I mean it's a horse. It's not like it's Riki Oh, where he stands up from inside a man, as ridiculous as it sounds. Looks like they'll finish part 1 really soon. It really does feel like trolling manga's slow pace. |

| Man, the censorship is killing me... Maybe I should just wait for the BDs... Get a feeling, so complicated. Speedwagon is so awesome that Part 7 spoiler |

Kuronoo said: If you say this episode wasn't rushed, you have most definitely not read the manga. I'm pretty sure they just compressed an entire volume into one episode here.*Looking the comments above..* Actually the episode wasn't that rushed and the animation quality was amazing. |
| It was seven chapters, the most in one episode so far. I didn't feel that the episodes were "rushed" until this one, honestly. Now it seems like they're on a sprint to make it out of Part 1 as quickly as possible... ^^;;;; |
