It's a shame we won't get livestreams anymore as Warner seems to very persuasive in regards to taking down streams (their lawyers might help...).

Still, it seemed to be an enjoyable episode with a lot of budget.
And the HnK vibes of Phantom Blood really shine through here.

Well, I enjoyed the episode a lot. I feel sad that Phantom Blood is drawing to a close next week, not to mention you-know-what happens. But can't wait for episode 9.

Are they going to drag out the scene on the boat that long. I remember the old OVAs and it was told in like 3 minutes lol.

Seriously, this episode makes it all worth while.

HE LIT HIS HAND ON FIRE!!! Jonathan should of used the Joestar secret technique though... lol.

MUDAH MUDHA MUDAH MUDAH MUDAH MUDAH MUDAH MUDAH!!!

To hear that, OMG!!!

I have yet to see the Joestar birthmark. It is introduced in the next episode right?

Pretty cool stuff here. But, really, I'm just excited that the next episode will be the end of Phantom Blood and we can get to Battle Tendency and, of course, the massive improvement that is Joseph Joestar.

Koyasu seems to have the time of his life voicing Dio. xD This guy's performance is brilliant.

Awesome episode as usual. Next week Phantom Blood ends and the week after that we'll finally get to see everyone's favourite Jojo, Joseph!

I'm not sure why he died from a flaming fist when he didn't die from burning to cinders previously, but maybe I'm forgetting something.

That guy came the previous episode and died in the following one, while doing the splits. His head survived and ......... Shit was crazy.

Dio holding that vein in Jojo's neck was LOL.

Poco will be missed >.< Hope to see him in the future.

Okay, I'm going to really miss Jonathan though. I liked his clothing and his cap.

Speaking of caps Speedwagon with Zeppeli's Hat was win.

My favorite episode of the bunch. So far this has to be my favorite show of the season, and i'm a bit shocked as I never even read the manga nor watched the OVA of Jojo as this is my first exposure to the franchise.

Nice final battle....I'm glad and sad at the same time that phantom blood is ending since with the preview scans I've seen from battle tendency (one of my favorite parts) I really can't wait to see one of my favorite jojo's receive the anime treatment after more than 20 years of waiting (OVA's don't count since that was part 3)

Yeah, nutbladder's subtitles had a lot of mistakes in them this week.

I won't complain too much, however, since nutbladder does get them out so very quickly.

I wish I could've been there when they recorded this episode, the GAR in this episode was just out of this world! WWWRRRYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This show's old school flavor wasn't more prevalent in any other episode more than this. I was just laughing at how awesome/cheesy it was with Jojo telling Dio what he's going to do and Speedwagons commentary.

Dire went out like a boss with the rose to Dio's eye but still Jojo and Dio's battle was epic the punches. Though Dio isn't dead for long according to the preview, Takehito Koyasu even made Dio's death sound awesome. Since I grew up with old school anime, it's just SO AWESOME to see current anime producers haven't forgotten their roots.

freaking terrible sub job. I almost quit watching it halfway through it was so bad. I'm just gonna wait for one of the better sub groups to get it out from now on. multiple instances of untranslated lines and they mistranslated some of Straight's lines so freaking badly that they made absolutely zero sense. if I can tell the lines are bullshit when I don't even know japanese that means you have failed at subbing

Anyway, great episode.

The ripple caused the melting of his body, I think. And from the next episode preview it seems that he's still alive :P

A side note: Koyasu is insanely amazing as Dio.

Technically speaking the animation of the show fluctuates between avearage and mediocre; but the coloring, the poses and the overall level of detail in the frames makes up for it.

It's this way of animating and this art style that make this show so fucking epic! I'm really loving this animation so far.
