Ah, my Jojo greatness. I am so happy they are adapting the fourt part. It was an amazing episode. Love to see Jotaro back kicking ass. And Josuke is a boss.

"What a beautiful Duwang!"

Dank the lord that JoJo is back!! We're only one episode in and I already love Jousuke. You never question a man's hair. Never.

And Tomoko is such a MILF. I completely understand why Joseph/Broseph pulled a quick one on Suzie Q ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Great to have Jojo back.
Josuke is already a nice character, very fun.
Jotaro is still a badass.

It felt a bit more "cheap" than SC that's true, but by that I don't mean it was bad. Overall DiU is less popular and longer, they had to do some cuts somewhere so I personally won't complain much about that, I just hope my favorite fights will be well adapted.

As for the VAs, music, colors ect. I like all of them so far, I never doubted Josuke's VA and I never will again, it's pretty damn fitting.

Also, I liked how they hinted the future support characters in the crowd, nice touch there.

I only wonder about the ED, will that be anything like the song we heard in the radio? Who knows.

What a beautiful Duwang!
I'm liking it so far, the artstyle had me worried but I think it fits. You guys talk like the previous adaptations reproduced the parts artstyle, but not really. DP always had their own artstyles just influenced by the manga artwork. And Part 4 is that weird spot where Araki's art was in transition. I agree with most that the middle of Part 4 is where it looks best, but I knew DP would likely draw inspiration from late part 4 but with differences, and it works. The colors are beautiful and capture the part 4 feeling prefectly. It will take some time to get used to some choices like white hair Koichi.

I hope the 39 episodes rumor is wrong. Part 4 is longer than Part 3. Even with the padding they added to Part 3 there's no way DiU can be that shorter.

Only major removal is that they didn't go into detail on Angelo's last crime (Jotaro only mentioned that it was heinous enough to make rats puke). The crime was that Angelo attacked three teenage boys. He raped, robbed, and murdered two immediately and used the third one was a ransom hostage after finding out his parents were loaded. Angelo was caught trying to accept the ransom, but he already killed the third boy and sewn pieces of the boy to a wooden pole.

YES!

Don't ask, just watch the previous ones. Or you'll get a major spoiler of Jotaro's power [which is a big thing for the immediate previous season's ending]

Edit: Oh well, you've already been spoiled since you watched it. No worries, complete the previous seasons before the 2nd episode airs

Guys, I know that I shouldn't post this question here, but since it is related to JoJo Part 4, I hope that you'll forgive me... So, I would like to ask manga readers if I can watch this JoJo season without previous ones, cause I want to watch this one so badly but yet I'm affraid that I'll be hugely spoiled, so I'll repeat again: Can i watch this new season of JoJo without having knowledge of previous seasons? I actually know that each arc folow a different member or relative of Jostar family, so I wonder if I can watch this... Pls, let me know!!!

Yes you'll get ABSURDLY HUGELY Spoiled! Just watch the previous seasons: JoJo 2012, Stardust Crusaders 1st and 2nd season. It's not as long as you're thinking. 7 days is a huge time to watch about 70 episodes

"It pisses me off when someone talks bad about my awesome hair." Lmao. What the hell.

I love how twisted and angry the characters in this series tend to be.

Great soundtrack, as usual.

The weird 70s magazine style color scheme looks cool.

It seems like the animal abuse is going to continue. Poor turtle.

So, Joseph Joestar is basically Donald Trump now?

Nice introduction of the characters. The psychotic stand user, Anjuro Kakagiri (Angelo), looks menacing. I'm curious to see how he's dealt with.

Welp, this shit's off to a good start. Dat hand at the beginning and dem shadows. Since I haven't read the colored scans, seeing Morioh in color feels a bit weird lol.
Josuke losing his shit over a damn hair insult actually made me smile this time around. I sincerely hope I'll like him more than when I read the manga a while ago.

Shame that there was no opening this week. It better be a good one when it comes.

I'm no manga reader but I was in the same situation as you up until Monday. I had some time to spare so I started to binge all 3 parts from Monday to Thursday and every second was worth it. Seriously just do it, you'll appreciate every single thing way more with all this previous knowledge.

Now that I look back I'm sure that I wouldn't be as hyped and pleased with this part 4 if I hadn't watched the previous parts. You'll learn to love certain things about this show that reoccur every part and everything will have this certain charm to you. I believe it's just not the same without watching the previous parts.

So put the first episode aside for now, grab yourself a comfy place and something to eat and just jump right into it from the start.

The episode was VERY GOOD, I enjoyed it so much, it was really fun and really, everyone was super cute, I thought I wasn't gonna like the art style at all but I actually like it somehow? it fits? I'm still not 100%... satisfied with it (especially because of the noses) but hey I thought it was gonna be much worse

I loved Josuke's voice, I know that a lot of people don't like Ono Yuuki for him but I actually found it perfect, woah, maybe not as much as Hatano but still, amazing. Oh and also kaji yuki for Koichi was superb!!!

The only thing that still bugs me are the colors but I'm sure I will get used to it very fast.

Anyway, 5/5. Loved it and i'm very happy jojo is back.

Jojo's back, all's right with the world. Friday's are going to be great.

Loved the use of colour in this series. That town definitely has a weird feel to it.

Yes, the main character of
and the main character of part 3. Some other characters are mentioned in the dialog. How can one even know how Suzie Q looks without seeing previous anime? This is a part of a franchise, that 4 stands for a reason. It's like starting with episode 20 something of an anime that has, say, 100 episodes. If someone is interested in JoJo, or any long running series, then start from the beginning.

What.

How are the looks of Suzie Q even relevant or important? You can learn the personality of Jotaro during part 4. And Joseph in part 4 has barely any resemblance of his old self.

That's definitely not the same. a 100 ep long running anime will most likely have clear continuity and the same characters. Each jojo part is mostly self contained with it's own stand alone story that has some recurring elements from other parts.

Story wise you won't lose much or be confused if you jump straight into 4 as the story is pretty simple and straight forward.
