Guretto, and they even animated the "This is the taste of a Liar". I really really hope that DP keeps the animation quality and they improve some flaws like they did with DiU

I did not like the dirtier, thicker lines compared to Diamond Is Unbreakable.

Guess it's just a thing I have to get accustomed to.

The first episode was pretty nice. I mean it looks like we are getting different direction for Jojo. I am only an anime only watcher. So I do not know what is bound to happen. Going to enjoy it hopefully. Looking forward to next episode. Anything that I should be expecting since I am an anime only?


You can expect some great (and brutal) fights, and also a shitty ending. :)

Great fights, one of the best main cast, and some great meme material, honestly. Also some little more obscure musical references. Still big names, but not as big as DIU's.
By the way, there's also some really familiar faces ... I won't spoil it more than I just did, tho. ;)

Stay especially hyped for the Prosciutto fight, which is fairly early in the show and is considered one of the best fights in all of Jojo.
One of my favorite fights is Secco's tho, but it's really late, I think it's like the fourth fight counting from the end lmao.

I share your views. Part 4 dragged a bit and lacked some of the awesome humour and cosmopolitan feel of Stardust Crusader. This one is off to a good start. Looks awesome as always too.


Part 4 to me was a hell of a lot better than Stardust Crusaders.


To each his own. I can see why 4 would be more interesting to younger generations though.

Very strong first episode! It's done a brilliant job of getting the setting out, showing some stand abilities and users, and really getting to know Giorno! It really didn't take long for me to be completely absorbed in what's going on, which is less common for me these days. Very much looking forward to the next episode! And to see the new OP and ED then.

Man it feels good to have JoJo back on the seasonal lineup!

This series seems pretty fresh for me considering the change in setting and how the people in Italy act in regards to certain situations like theft for example....That and the art and animation is really really good and thus adds to the atmosphere too

Its nice to see Koichi (And Jotaro - I'm hoping he actually comes to Italy too since I loved him in Part 4) again but Giorno was the star for me....This dude isn't a cunt like his dad (I LOVE that he is essentially the child of Dio and Jonathan lol) but he's still a thief....But then he has such a nice charm to himself and isn't really that much of a bad guy either.....And his Stand seems kinda broken too lol

Overall, it was a pretty good first episode though and I have heard GREAT things about the dude that showed up at the end, so I'm hyped for the next episode to see what he's all about (His Stand is pretty powerful too)

The visuals looks so appealing, man. Animation is nice and they've already captured my interest from the plot points. I found the ending of the episode to be bizarre in a good way. It was so crazy, man. I'm nodding my head to Gio's character so far. Gentlemen-like, but shady aswell, but I hope I get to understand more of that later on because it's a weird dynamic to have. I just know that I'm glad I wasn't born into a world like Jojo's where a person like Bruno exists.

LIke everyone else, I thought it was a great start to the part with my favorite JoJo, erm, GioGio. Glad they're doing it as a straight through 3-cours instead of splitting it.

Personally, Ono Kensho's voice wasn't quite what I expected for Giorno. Don't get me wrong, I love his voice. But I was expecting someone with a more elegant, somewhat higher voice. Maybe Kimura Ryouhei? No, that's not quite right. Shimazaki Nobunaga could have been a good choice. Well, I didn't like Murase Ayumu as Hinata Shouyo at first either, but now I can't imagine anyone else playing that role. I'm sure I'll grow to love Kensho as Giorno as well.

I don't read manga, but according to wiki page Koichi is 18 years old in part 5 (he was 15 in part 4)

So, he is older than Giorno even though he looks younger

really? I thought it was the opposite, it was 4 that had the very shounen feel with all the youngish characters running around town. I actually think that slice of life is more appealing to younger viewers than the olde anime viewer.

We disagree. Lets just leave it at that here.. Hopefully this season will be awesome

I think it really just depends on what slice-of-life show we're talking about here. The fights in Part 3 were definitely more shounen-esque though. It was monster of the week (mainly the first half of Part 3 though).

Anyway on a side note, just watched the episode now. Great start. 9/10 first episode.

Well, I liked it for the most part. But I found some of the warp effects used to compensate for animation a bit distracting.
I doubt many people will look too deeply into that, and it's been present in past seasons, anyway.

Overall, I'd say this is already a huge step-up from last season in terms of animation already. The adaptation is good so far as well, which makes me excited because this part is my second favorite. I can't wait to see my precious boy, Narancia, animated!!

I love everything about this episode so far ♥ The very close to manga art, both previous and new characters being here, the very mysterious new Stand powers, namely Giorno and Bruno's so far, the connections to previous parts (seeing that photo from Stardust Crusaders and Dio in Giornos wallet made me freak out), and the all new bizarre journey the Gangstars will be going on from now on. It's totally worth waiting two years for this.

I like that they mentioned that Koichi had Rohan make him able to speak and understand perfect Italian using Heaven's Door because it makes complete sense despite everyone speaking Japanese because it'd be too much to get an all-Italian cast for this right at the get-go. Jotaro showing his love for Marine Biology is at an all-time-high here too, which could be foreshadowing to his new Stand, Ocean Man lmao it's joke.

Seeing Act 3 Freeze against Golden Experience was naturally a golden experience for me coz I really love Stand battles and I personally thought that Leaky-Eye Luca was bizarre enough to have the potential as a Stand user but to be chopped up as an intimidation tactic by Bruno works too because it certainly did the job (I'm so glad that the censoring's minimal so far). I'll certainly take the taste of a liar being salty in mind since it can be helpful~

How about Sakurai Takahiro? I thought it was him when Giorno first spoke. Though I'm sure Ono will do a great work.

Also, my fave Jojo is either Joseph or Josuke (depending on my mood), but maybe Gio will take the spot.

What a fantastic first episode! There's so much about this part already that gives me great faith that DP will deliver beyond expectations this time around. They added so many new scenes in the beginning that are ESSENTIAL to the overall part. One of the main issues I had with part 5 is the lack of focus given to the main issue of how fucked up Italy actually is (in the story of course), seeing people now notice from the first episode how crime-ridden and scummy it is already fixes one of the issues I had with Gio/Bruno's motivations to help bring justice back to the country.

The additional scenes for Giorno too were really nice, already in the first episode they've given him a lot stronger of an introduction than he had in the manga, and with how the anime's confirmed to be 39 episodes, god knows how many more potential scenes they could add to benefit the part.

The animation and art was fantastic too, if they keep things consistent this could easily be the best part in terms of both departments. Some scenes just looked like they practically oozed Araki's style, like the manga itself was given movement. https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/58801 for example. It's so good to be able to get that fix of bizarre awesomeness again.

Can't wait to hear the OP! It's sung by Coda and has the lyricist of Cruel Angel's Thesis doing it, god damn this week is going to be painful to wait through.
