This is all too true, while the others were okay we need a Stardust Crusaders adaptation to match these two parts in excellency.

If Stell Ball Run ever gets animated, I will have to exchange all of my pants because there are no amount of clothes that could contain my "fanjuice".
Steel Ball Run anime when?

That new opening. Oh my goooooooooooooooooood. I must've watched it over a dozen times now. I'm continually impressed by the well-done pacing of each episode. I still wish David Production had a bit of a higher cap on their budget, but they're doing a great job with what they have.

Can't wait for the next episode!

When Part 3 comes, they'll have a MUCH higher budget, as it's consistently like 2nd and 3rd in BD anime sales.

And due to the elevens' love of Part 3, and inevitably how well that'll sell, we can probably count on a godly-animated Part 4, which I'm absolutely dying for.

Ah Straits...for an undead monster who slaughtered those researchers and dumped Speedwagon's lifeless body into a river and tried to kill JoJo after ripping out an innocent woman's tooth and threatening to kill her...he was good people.

Lol. Ok where does this guy keep all this damn things? Grenades and tommy guns out of thin air.

Well Straigh certainly lost pathetically considering he was someone powerful before he even became a vampire. He didn't even last an episode. Dio didn't have special powers before becoming a vampire and he did a better job.

Btw this new JoJo for all his smart tricks and smart fighting he certainly acted stupid by not ripple punching the hell out of Straights while he was healing after the explosion.

I see the German guys ether getting slaughter or turned into vampire servants after that tree guy wakes up.

I would freaking love to remember but the show didn't tell me such shit. Was it in the manga and it was skipped in the anime or will it be something that comes up later?

Joseph's ripple is still weak, he couldn't confront Straits in open combat.

The new opening was even better than the previous one imo, David Production is so damn good, I'm glad they got the show instead or some other studio.
Lots of insane tricks and insane battles and exaggeration like I'm used to by now.
Next episode will introduce "The Pillar Men", but it may just be one guy since I've only seen one so far.

After looking closer at the opening, wow, they really chose the best thing to spoil. It would be one thing if it happened early on, but this way it's pretty bad.
The spoiler is a spoiler only if you KNOW it's a spoiler. Seriously, most of the stuffs are only notable if you've read the manga and therefore knows what to expect.

Monad said:

Joseph is all about his sleight of hands and abuse of blind-spots. As Burningsirius mentioned, you'll see more later.

Monad said:

The reason why he went down faster than Dio was because Joseph was willing to fight dirty. Like really dirty.

Dio's weakness (as pointed out) was his pride, willing to show off rather than just go for a direct kill. Straights is more pragmatic BUT is not as cunning or deranged as Dio, hence another reason why he failed to last as long as Dio. In fact, that's the thing about JJBA fights in general: it's not about how powerful your abilities are, but how clever/creative you are in using your abilities.

In later parts, you'll have characters with seemingly weak or pointless abilities causing major damage and so on. On the other hand, you can have someone with a kickass ability but sucked at using them. For example, in part 4

Joseph was not trained in the ripple hence can't just ripple punch him like that, i.e. not as effective in using it in battle. Using ripple as tricks and assistance, yeah, no problem, but not direct confrontation in the level of Zeppeli/Johnathan.

Is just enough to notice the fact that he failed at killing Straights with TWO direct hamon attacks at his head (Both the hamon glasses and that last punch would have been an istant kill for any competent ripple user).

DAMN this is getting really good, I had my doubts about the sudden shift in time but well they sure made it rather better than worse! Especially this new Jojo being totally bad ass, totally loved the way he attacked those hand grenades to that vampire's scarf! Yea that sure was really epic! Great action and amazing story development. I wonder what the Pillar Man will be unleashed! Good that Speedwagon ain't that, I do hope he gets another role in this second part, but damn that ending, shit is really going to get good next!

Lets see what will happen and they sure made another awesome OP!

Depends on the anime. There are series with ratings like that almost every episode.


Besides that, I love Sugita's scream/ shouting. XD

Jojo is too damn badass. This is glorious.

First opening was epic. New opening is more retro...? Dunno. Love them both though. :D

Joseph seems like a more likeable character that Jonathan, i was exoecting Straits to be a bigger threat but i guess its probably for the better that the history focuses on the pillar man instead... even though the animation seems to have improved the action is still unimpressive imo
i was told that this anime had even better action scenes than my fav action anime so i was expecting some truly amazing fights, havent seen one so far

The new JoJo is so crazy xD
The grenade trick was pretty sick. Same for the mirror :P

Smokey look so much like Poco...

Goodbye Straits, no one will miss you.

It was hilarious how that girl just beaten him after he saved her xD

Nazis doing crazy experiment. It's probably one of the most classic setting in any story ever :P

Next episode, the pillar guy will be awaken. Niiiiice.

Great episode, lots of good moments.

Glad to see this series picking up steam! I'm liking Battle Tendency MUCH better than Phantom Blood so far.

Also, is it just me, or does Smokey remind anybody else of that kid who reads the comic books by the Newsstand in The Watchmen.
