| Didn't like the bleached colors :/ |
| DP finds a way. 6/5 would insult Josuke's hair again Real talk, I have zero complaints about this episode: with all the bitching about the "butter faces" in the PVs I somehow convinced myself that the actual episodes wouldn't look so good in comparison with the earlier parts, but I'm glad to say I was wrong. The chara designs are stylish as hell and the color palette for the town of Morioh is top notch. Animation wise, as others have pointed out, this particular aspect has never been this studio's strong suit, but I'd say what we got this episode was perfectly standard fare DP animation so no complaints there either, especially when the visuals completely make up for it. As for the choice of seiyuu, I don't really have an element of comparison since I've never played the ASB game, but I adore Josuke's voice: it really fits his age and personality, imo. Now about the episode itself; well, I laughed my ass off pretty much everytime Josuke started losing his shit, and I absolutely cannot wait for what's to come next week (the OP and ED better be god-tier, tho). |

tsudecimo said: Ictius said: Btw. people are still asking if they should watch previous parts first? Of course they have to see it, this is part 4, how do you want to get anything from this if you don't even know the characters? there is only 2 recurring characters in part 4, unless I'm forgetting others. 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.[/quote] 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. Suzie Q was only an example. Yes, it won't affect anything yet you will not get the full "experience". 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. Clear continuity, but the viewer will not know where are the characters, who they are, why are they in that place etc. 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. Yeah, story wise you will not loose anything, but you will lose Joseph in prime, Dio-sama (which is a "rather" necessary knowledge if Part 6 will get animated), who is Enya etc. |
| Wow,this was amazing for a first episode. JoJo's back, weird hat to be honest, I liked the older one. Josuke's stand is cool, it can destroy and repair anything it touches from what I've seen. I hope his mother won't be killed. Joseph my man, why did you have an affair? |
 |
| JoJo Fridays are back, and, just like this episode, it's GREATO. I really love the idea of a slice of life jojo with some murder mystery thrown in, it's basically perfect entertainment for my taste. As usual for jojo the animation, music, and voice acting are all amazing and the story leaves me wanting to watch the next episode immediately so I literally have no complaints. HYPE TRAIN IS UNBREAKABLE WHOO WHOO! |

Fuck yes Jojo is back . Don't really have any complaints animation couldn't of been better but I was expecting that much anyway I hope we get a good ending and opening. |

Repose said: Only one thing I found weird, maybe I didn't look too well, but what happened to the sound effect texts? There were..none? That seems so weird in this part. Or did they get rid of them in 'normal fights' because of this reason? Or did I miss them? I'm pretty sure I saw none. Ehm, no, there were. |
| Loved every second of this episode, from the foreshadowy opening to the last shot of Angelo. DiU is in GREATO hands. The wait till next week's episode might be fatal. I just want to see the new opening so bad :-(. |
 |
| Wow. What a great start. So much shit went down in this episode alone. I'm really excited for more! Another JoJo anime. Another MILF. Josuke's mom is one tough woman. She's so cool. I'm glad JoJo is back. I've really missed it. |
| Great ep. the art style wasn't as bad as I thought it is was gonna be. Kouichi's voice thou :'( KEK  OH MY GOD! HOLY SHEET! the spoiler. Massive Foreshadowing and Spoiler, the true hero of this arc. |
 |
| >[DUWANG]_JoJo's_Bizarre_Adventure_-_Diamond_is_Not_Crash_-_01_[240p].wmv Let the true Jojo experience begin. I waited years for this to happen. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Is the score gets below 9.0, I'm gonna be pissed. For gureto reasons. |
     |
| Great start. I think I like this part more than the others already. |
 |
| This introduction to part 4 and the characters was quite good, but a little too fast paced for my tastes. Hopefully they'll do 52 episodes. I find Shining Crazy Diamond to be the most interesting thing so far. Nidhoeggr said: >[DUWANG]_JoJo's_Bizarre_Adventure_-_Diamond_is_Not_Crash_-_01_[240p].wmv This was great in the beginning, but afterwards it should have been even more bastardized. Also I don't know if there was a spoiler in the subs so if it actually happens next episode then I won't watch more of it (if they do make more lol). |
| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
| that was slow but amazing and the fuck man rape when he's just 12 shit that's messed up |
 |
| It's been a while since I've read part 4 so I was really happy to see Morioh and all the characters back again. The first episode was promising and I'm already getting used to the art shift. Glad to see that DP keep using those weird color palette swaps that made the series so unique and fun to watch. The only thing I disliked was the very first scene. I don't think they should have but otherwise I'm pleased. Can't wait to see more of it! |
 |
| So Joseph cheated on his wife before the events of Stardust Crusaders right? And this is set like 10 years after that? Anyways, this was a promising start. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| I personally prefer the art from Stardust but I will get used to this. I'm always excited for more JOJO! |
| It was amazing. Didn't like how Joseph cheated. Feels out of character. |
| oh man that colour palette gooood to be back |

Axelucard said: that was slow oh man, I thought I'm the only one who feel the pacing that way. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Classic Jojos. Gotta love that manliness. I like artwork and, of course, Jotarou. The scenes about his hair were hilarious. |

| Good shit, but why the fuck is it so high on the list xD In all honesty, I thought Boku no Hero was going to be like that, but nope, I was wrong! This time, something legitimately good is going up tho ;) |
Ulquiorra said: Joseph my man, why did you have an affair? Didn't you saw Josuke's mom? She is a fine lady. |
| Finally.This will fill a hole in my life that has been there since SC finished.Since i did not read the manga and i have nothing to compare the artstyle to, i will say that i love it along with colors. Josuke seems like a nice new MC so far, and i'm guessing his power is time rewinding maybe? which if i'm right, is going to be epic to see in fights in future.I find JoJo fights very creative anyway, but with time rewinding we might see some mindblowns ^^ Either way, ez 10/10 and (oh how i missed saying that) see you next week, JoJo! |

OnionSoda said: Sooo what was the ED? All I know is that the ED name was revealed in the credits, although I haven't checked what it was |
| Amazing first episode, the budget is pretty meh, but honestly I don't expect much from it anymore. As for the pacing, I've heard of the 39 episode theory, and even though it may not happen, I could see them doing it. Remember how the next time said Josuke meets Angelo? That was 5 chapters in the manga, and there was no part 1 in the title, so they're probably planning to animate all 5 chapters in 1 episode, something Stardust Crusaders never did (only went up to 4), so if the episodes went at 4.5 chapters per episode, 39 episodes is very plausible.....then again I doubt it. |
| The mystery deepen on Jotero head XD |
| That Jojo greatness is back. The new art style is very interesting. Jotaro looks so different since Part 3. Josuke & Crazy Diamond. His Stands ability is really cool. I love hearing that music when he is about to hurt someone. Note to self don't talk shit about Josuke's hair or your screwed. Josuke is Joesph's son. Thats interesting. Koichi sounds so much like Meliodas from Nanatsu no Taizai. Both Josuke & Jotaro always have girls surrounding them. Tomoko smashing that guys face into the side of his car. This new Stand user is gonna be trouble. So far great start. Looking forward to more. |

| Everything was great, except for the animation at times was kinda crappy, then good. Animation will get better down the road. I'm just glad JoJos is back baby! |
| Glorious Titties Nuff Said! Make America Great Again! |
| Man this was a hype first episode. The new artstyle is heaven on the eyes. It's good to see Jotaro again and it's awesome to see he still has his ability to stop Time. Josuke seems like an awesome main character, once again completely different from the previous JoJos and I love how chill he is until you say anything about his hair! (It's funny that he's Joseph's son from an affair. Oh Joseph). His power to destroy and then heal is freaking nuts! I love the mysterious feel this part has with the murder mystery aspect. 5/5 for this episode. Gah its so good to have JoJo on Fridays again. |
 |
| Ah, I am so excited! Even more so after watching the episode! I miss the old art style but think this one is better for the characters and I'm just sooo disappointed that I couldn't see Kakyoin drawn with it. I wonder if Jotaro was reminded of him at all considering all the high schoolers were wearing the same school outfit as Noriaki. Anyway, I really like all the new characters already. Can't wait for Fridays again! |
| Holy shit that was great. I was a little worried about the artstyle but in action it's great, and we got some nice anime original scenes. David Production has done it again. |
 |
| old voice actor for Josuke was better and the animation seems lower quality then Stardust might just be a different art style but even if they went for the last part of the manga's art-style its still off that being said everything else seems on point |
 |
| Ahhhh, JoJo. You have a special place in my heart. Dem colors. Jousuke is pretty darn funny. With his look, I totally didn't expected him to be like that. That was such a weird beginning introduction. Watched it again and and we only ever see one hand, and it always seem to be the right one. Mmmh, JoJo Bizarre Adventure indeed. |

| Stardust Crusaders's art and colors are better than this, intentional? Budget problem? The characters are also less "manly" than previous parts. Anyway, it was such great and thrilling beginning, nice pacing |

| This Josuke kid is weird as fuck, I love it xD But man that scene with the hostage had me like O_O His stand is so strange yet so interesting And I totally get why best Jojo Joseph busted all kinds of nuts in Josuke's mom....She is hot as fuck and that personality kinda makes her even hotter to me lol Was nice seeing Jotaro again and I died at his little "We don't love these hoes" moment LMFAOOOO....Pretty cool to hear about his career and that he's famous himself now...He looks great for his age too and he's still got the skills to kick ass :D Overall it was a pretty great return to the franchise....The new art style is going to take some time to get used to but it's not bad at all....Koichi isn't half bad either |
TokoyaApr 1, 2016 7:04 PM
| YES! YES! YES! WHAT AN AMAZING EPISODE! I just knew DavidPro was going to improve the animation quality for best part. I should never have doubted them. The hype-o-meter is off the charts, baby! Also, while i was expecting hints torwards that guy early on, i didn't expect it to be that early or that obvious. Pretty much a spoiler if you ask me, but i suppose it doesn't mean much without context. Also, we had a nice cameo from a certain radio tower near the beginning there... |

| Josuke best boy, take notes, Jotaro. not best like Johnny but close |
| >User since 2008 Please god help me quit this website. Such great community that doesn't even know how demographics work, AND gives """detailed"""" reviews after first episodes. |
| David Production is back again baby to give justice to Araraki's masterpiece  People might want to read the manga in order to realize that DP is faithful to Araraki's art style. He did make a shift from SC to DIU.  Just gonna leave this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QyMXAu-kt0 |

RayAdha said: Stardust Crusaders's art and colors are better than this, intentional? Budget problem? The characters are also less "manly" than previous parts. It's definitely intentional, this part is well known for shifting the style of JoJo from manliness to a heavier emphasis on fashion and stylishness. The colors used are more abstract and the palate is brighter since the overall tone is more 'bizarre' than the past one and the tensions are lower. |

cmon fam people talking about animation quality    the background are amazing but the character shots from afar are dbz super quality |
|
| the BGM is so good..loved it.. cant wait for the op and ed.. |
