So that's how he's gonna use his powers. I was honestly thinking something more like Orihimes ability from Bleach. Good to know how he can use it in battle.

Lolwut at Jotaro's hat though. It was originally that ugly?

I'm not liking Kouichi at the moment though.

Jotaro was a regular chatterbox relative to his time in SC. I for one quite like the new artstyle.

Nah, that's just Crazy Diamond at work. Just like how Josuke "fixed" that guy's nose. I honestly can't remember if he does it on purpose or not though.

Koichi isn't that great at the start, yeah. He has some great moments, though.

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.


Censorship.

Besides, he was a jabronie villain, no its fine.

Really good start for the best Jojo Series.


I'm fine with that being censored, because I forgot his crime was so... graphic.

any shot of the characters from afar are awful QUALITY.

most of the budget appears to have gone to the backgrounds. i'll take what i can get. but why did they hint at kira so early? that was pointless.

More Jojo is always exciting! I liked Part 1 well enough, didn't really care for Part 2, but fell in love with Part 3, and its been an obsession ever since. I've heard this is one of the best arcs, so I'm interested in seeing where this goes! I just want to get the core cast established ASAP!

Too bad the subs had to change the Stand name...

Plus this season doesn't seem to be about Monster of the Week as much. While I enjoyed Part 3, that format sort of limited the story telling. I'm hoping for the best because Jojo is love!

That's Crazy Diamond's ability at work. After he punched and destroyed a bit of the hat, it was "fixing" it back to its original state. Though it stayed all warped and ugly because when Josuke is pissed off it isn't guaranteed that it will fix completely to its original state.

Whenever Josuke gets angry (which is 99% of the time because you insulted his hair) he loses a bit of control over his fixing power, which makes for wacky results.

I've been watching Stardust Crusaders for the past few days, and went straight into this the moment I finished it. I've got to say, the transition in style was... surprising, but I'm liking it. I'm looking forward to watching this bizarre adventure unfold.

That first episode was fucking great. I didn't mind at all the new character design, some noses are weird, but it doesn't feel bad. The animation has some QUALITY problems when the characters are from afar, but apart of that, I don't have many problems.

Josuke is great. I like how he is really calm and nice... until you insults his hair. His stand is cool, and the power is, original, to say something. And, fucking Joseph, he cheated on Suzi Q, what a man.

Surprised to known that Jotaro is now a marine biologue. His clothes are weird, and the new hat...

Hyped to see more flashy, fabulous stand battles.

Hm, still prefer the ASB voices and I'm not sure if I like the opening scene. I was also hoping they use the correct name for Josukes stand after NISA got away with it :/

But I'm glad i can watch this before I "bite the dust".

Finally a long awaited Part 4 : DiU is here.. I've always waited to see this first episode since they announced that they will adapt part 4 last year and i have to say i'm satisfied with this episode.. Here we have our new JoJo, Josuke with carefree personality but don't you dare to insult his hair! Also nice to see Jotaro's return.. The only problem that i have with this episode is the quality of the art that DiU have, aside from Josuke the character design is pretty weird (especially Koichi) IMO.. but i guess that is the only complain that i have with this episode..

Well, anyway it's still a satisfying episode and i enjoyed it a lot, seems we'll get our first stand fight in the next episode.. Looking forward to see it next week.. 5/5

I thought I couldn't take it, how the characters went from fabulous muscular men to a thin Jotaro wearing baggy oversized jackets.

But surprisingly I have nothing to say after watching the episode - everything still is fabulous in its own way.

I really hope the random short guy is there for the first episode only, I dont think I can handle another series with Kaji Yuki's same voice as a main. Seriously, does he have any other voice than his "Kaji Yuki" voice which pretty much makes all characters he voices the same...(unregarding how the writers wrote it...), sigh. This fact only makes it droppable.

Wataru Hatano is S tier

Eh. I thought Hatano's Josuke was boring and forgettable. Ono is much better, IMO.

That comes as a shock to me.

How can this be boring and forgettable?

his ''DORADORA'' is so much better than Ono's which was really underwhelming for me.

can't even remember how many times I replayed those Josuke scenes. That last Josuke scene is Literally one of the main reasons why I started watching and reading Jojo, still gives me goosebumps so perfect ;_;

I like the new Josuke. Sounds more youthful and less angry all the time, which is fine. Not really an improvement but not much of a detriment in my eyes.

It was very strange. Not fabulously bizarre, no. Strange in confusing way. This town looks kinda empty. Deserted streets, toylike houses. Or maybe my problem is with these lurid, hard colors. Almost all shots look flat. No life, no energy, no drive! Oh, and Josuke's grandfather's face looks like mask, when he is not talking.
Three previous JoJo managed to hook me in the span of ten minutes. This time I am honestly not impressed.
But story is intriguing. And introductions are nice. I only hope there is something else to Josuke's character besides hair joke.

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!

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


The art and "manliness" are actually intentional. Araki's art style changes dramatically over the course of Jojo. In Part 1 2 and 3, everyone is drawn with these hyper-muscular Fist of the North Star proportions, but that's not the case for Part 4-8. David Pro actually did a pretty good job of animating Part 4's art style.

As for the colors, that's really just a matter of opinion. I personally love the bizarre green roads, yellow sky and purple trees, but I can see how other people might not like it.
