Stormen said: Hope they won't make Jotaro a completely worthless character in order to make Josuke shine in the series. I feel the same, I'm hoping he has some great fights and value and not just be used as a story connecting character |
crabbystardust said: Maybe the animation looks sloppy because they decided to keep the best for the next (and more important) episodes? I am also disappointed about how Oku doesn't look that menacing when he's facing Josuke. For comparison : https://twitter.com/josefvmi/status/721024934886182912 I mean, he looked creepier in the manga. If it's the shading, it just so happens that this chapter was one of those special, extra-shaded ones that appear every 9-10 or so chapters (such examples include ch's. 63, 90, 195, 225, 240, and 345. I mention these specifically, sans 345 as of now, because they were incidentally also adapted nicely for the anime). It's the same as how we get the more-expertly animated episodes per every ~2-3 episodes with DP's JoJo. |

| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |

| OMG Koichi 0___0 Whoa the Hand user OMG |
| A stand more powerful than The World hmm Jotaro I feel like it already appeared ... :/ |

crabbystardust said: well to be fair, Josuke himself looked kinda creepy. This has probably more to do with DP choosing to go for the end-game artstyle for all the characters rather than them "fucking up" Okuyasu's expression. Plus the fight itself did a good job showing us that he and his Stand are menacing alright (or at least would be, if he wasn't such a dummy x) ).Maybe the animation looks sloppy because they decided to keep the best for the next (and more important) episodes? I am also disappointed about how Oku doesn't look that menacing when he's facing Josuke.

Nidhoeggr said: galimx said: They are, even in this part :D And Part 5 has literary only broken stands. Read the manga :P Nothing comes close to GER even after 7 1/2 parts. Part 5 may be controversial when it comes to both the protagonists and the main villian, but nobody can deny the glory of the Stands in it. The upgraded version of D4C was pretty insane as well. I can't remember anything too OP from part 4 to be honest. was certainly the least broken Stand of all the main villains (which made for one of the most fair/logical and therefore satisfying fights in the entire franchise imo. No last-minute power ups needed, just using the established powers in clever ways). |
| Mmm dat Okuyasu appearance Mmm dat Aura before their stand appears Mmm dat pose after their stand appears This animation hasn't been a problem for me at all tbh, and so far everything seems to be going well with the adaptation! |

| Oh man what an episode. I almost forgot what went down with the whole Angelo thing. I got to enjoy that whole bit of how close Jotaro was to Josuke and them when he was driving away. |
 |
| I just can't get over how GREATO the animation looks and how smooth and stylish the transitions are. I love the storytelling and the characters as well, but that's something that JoJo has always had, but this new tenouttaten animation is exclusive to part 4 so I guess it just stands out more. Not to say the animation in the previous parts were bad, it was outright beautiful in some places, it's just with a limited budget you can't make everything look amazing. I just hope they have enough budget for this part to keep it up through the whole season. |

| I translated this preview of next episode #4 (1 week limited) into English. Here: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=784917 I'm glad if it helps you enjoy the next episode more. |
I'm just Japanese who loves Anime, Manga and Light Novels. And I translate Japanese into English to be fluent. |
| the wait is almost over o_o |
Tokoya said: I can't imagine there being a Stand more OP than Za Warudo and Star Platinum but it's so gonna happen lol and I can't wait Part 5 has arguably some of the most broken powers in any anime. About DIA, I'm not a fan of the art style, it looks cheap and lacks detail in comparison to the manga, while PB/BT and SC were pretty spot-on. The budget restrictions are pretty visible if you don't look at it with rose-tinted glasses. But the animations were smooth where it really counted, which is during the fights. I don't like the shining aura effects, tho. I guess it's alright if you didn't read the manga before, but it's clearly no Fate/Stay in terms of production values. What I really do like are the sound effects and music. |

| Strong continuity, Josuke said his mom would recognize the Joseph face is she saw Jotaro in a previous episode. The elder Nijimura brother looks like he could be Polnareff's son. The (formerly different) Angelo rock in the ending makes sense now. Even goofier. 👌 |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Yo, Angelo. Lol that Angelo Stone 2.0. I almost felt that pain in the neck. I would never have thought Koichi could get a stand before this ep. He even called himself nobody in the 1st ep IIRC. That back sliding with Crazy Diamond was awesome. |
 |
| Dio name come up in this ep ,this is getting interesting. |
 |
| Polnareff? Dude stop playing man. No but seriously why do they look so similar? Don't know about Jotaro but Jousuke's mom is real fine. |
 |
| Damn that sure was impressive as hell! Really loving where this is going! |
 |
| Big reveal, Dio wasn't born with a Stand! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| How the hell is this kid supposed to be alive after the arrow was shot in his throat for a considerable amount of time o_O |
 |
| a new strange Stand user, can controlled the space, although the young "Jo" defeat him quickly, althoung the young friend is in dangerous!!! i hope the Kouichi get a stand too xD |
| Still getting used to the artstyle but I still have 36 episodes to go. That's one really creative use for a reality erasing stand~ The Za Warudo sound effect only made it better hahah I think that I remember the bow getting a cameo in Dio's Mansion so it's nice that it wasn't being pulled out of nowhere. Shorty just can't take a break... |
 |
| Okuyasu's stand is truly terrifying, but it seems he's not the brightest to use of it. Yeah, as much as Dio has one of the strongest stands in Za Warudo. I can definitely see more terrifying stands in the later parts. Even Okuyasu can give Dio some trouble if use properly. I'm getting used to Josuke's new voice. The animation is truly superb in Blu ray O___O |
| Amazing ep, Koichi will get a Stand (if he doesn't die), so that's neat. |
| Around the gif~ "It's a big mistake to think you're the only one who can turn into a car" - Shiori Takatsuki |
| OH! i finally realize what's so off about this JoJo series. The author finally dropped those ridiculous physiques of the MCs. not sure if i think it's an improvement or not, but the fact that Jotaro looks gooood makes me believe it's at least not worse. now that that's done, onto the plot! this new retcon for Stands is... weird. i mean if Stands are the manifestation of evil then why the fuck did the Joestar family gain them? or is what the shadow guy talking about only valid Stand users created from that arrow? not enough explanation at the moment. Man! But the Shaft-esque coloring still puts me off whenever i see the school building from outside. and Koichi seems to be the brains of this series. it'll take some time to get used to it, but then again we have 37 episode to go... Jotaro's reaction to the new JoJo's mother, as well as her own to seeing him was hilarious! XD Aaand it looks like my second guess was was the right one, if you're hit by the arrow and are evil you get a Stand. looks like we'll be finally having another character like Speedwagon (who is part of the MCs but has no special powers), just hope he doesn't inherit Speedwagon's inability to shut his mouth. wow, that's too soon to face the hidden villain. if he does get defeated, i wonder who'll be next and if that person will kill him. since his brother is joining the MCs as seen in the OP. |
 |
| That last part gave me goosebumps. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| So the theme is really funky and the story keeps on getting good |
 |
| Just gotta say it was funny watching Jotaro and Kouichi greet the Angelo stone so casually. Got a chuckle out of me. |
 |
| Wait, so how exactly Okuyasu lost? His Stand erased free space between Josuke and him and Okuyasu didn't notice that he also "pushed" flowerpots towards himself, along with Josuke? It looked bizarre. xD Poor Koichi, I hope he's gonna be alright. I'm rather sure he will be. He appears in the OP, so he must survive, haha. Okuyasu appears as well, so we can assume he will become an ally eventually. Mat2468xk said: Also, considering he's in the OP (that, and I've seen clips of him being friendly with Josuke), I think it's safe to say that Okuyasu would eventually become an ally. I'm now interested on how that'll happen. Yup, exactly. I'm wondering how he will turn into Josuke's ally. |
| A photo the Speedwagon Foundation found in Egypt 10 years ago? Someone gave Angelo his Stand? 1998. Dat bow and arrow. Arrow to the mouth. He knows Dio? Dat rock. How did Dio obtain a Stand? 81 people have gone missing. Yo, Angelo! Koichi got slammed by the door. Jotaro rings the bell. Tomoko answers it. Wow. She really called Jotaro, Joseph. Enya. Oh shit! Arrow to the throat. His name is Nijimura Okuyasu. Za Hando. Za Get over here! In the nuts. Josuke won. Dat Ending. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Okuyasu's stand can be pretty deadly, shame he's not the brightest lad lol. 2ego said: Well, this doesn't make much sense, really. Just like Jotaro's stand randomly appeared, Dio's could have too, yet now apparently some bow made it ensue...feels like a giant ass-pull. Oh well. The Joestars' stands manifested after Dio got his. Part 3 began shortly after that which is when we find Jotaro in the jail cell. He was spooked about Star Platinum since he had just recently acquired it. There are people who have naturally acquired Stands like the rest of the Stardust Crusaders but for the Joestars it was due to Dio getting shot with the arrow by Enya. Since he had Jonathan's body, it also caused the rest of the Joestars to gain stands as well due to that connection. |
|
| I hope this season won't be with a bubble gum tier plot, I don't see anything interesting in conception of Main Boss is literally just around the corner for the next 36 episodes. Action scenes are on par with season 1. |

| Something about The Hand's hand makes it so disgusting to me.I want to rip it appart.Maybe those two bumps? |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| LMAO, Angelo as asngelo stone reminded me of Kars drifting off in outer space for eternity as a stone. At the very least, people who pass by Angelo would greet him, despite how many times he tears up. It's cute how Tomoko responded to seeing 'Joseph' at her doorstep, but wow, you can just see the disappointment in her face knowing that Joseph won't be coming instead. Dio's stand was given by this bow and arrow thing? Don't tell me Kars out of everyone is also the person who made this in his pursuit to be the ultimate being?! |
  |
| Josuke's mother is funny haha, pretty good episode |
 |
| Oh yay jo found last boss already, no giant adventure. Though the adventure was fun but man was it long asf lolz. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Why is no one talking about SUKISUKISUKISUKISUKISUKISUKISUKI XDDD Tomoko is absolutely adorbs |
| Ano THE WAAAAAAAAAARDOOOOOO haha still funny af. already missing DIO. |
| I don't know man, Josuke acts quite strange for a person who's friend just got shot with an arrow in his neck and it may be dying there in the floor. Pretty stupid. Stands being given by arrows makes perfect sense to me, otherwise, how do you explain that there so many stand users out there and a vast majority of them are evil killers? |
 |
| Josuke is like super weak for a Joestar... |
 |
| Not much happened, but still a good episode. Josuke's mother reaction to Jotaro was really cute. The battle had some cool moments, but the way Josuke defeated that guy was a little lame. So there is a arrow that grant stands to people, and that's how Dio got The World. I wonder if the other characters from SC gained their Stands this way also. |
| The mastermind behind everything is Kira. That's interesting fr, an arrow that can give you a stand ability. That's how Angelo got his water stand. He mentioned Dio's name too, so they're related to each other. Hirose is on something, quite a nerdy guy. Lmao, the mom mistaked Jotaro for Joseph xD Nijumura and Kira are working together. Kira is probably using him. The fights are pretty cool, espically the ''aura'' around them makes it a lot better. The animation and artsyle are good, liking the anime more and more. The stand, The hand is strong. Sadly, a dumbass used it. The sound effects are fucking epic too. Reminds me of Dio's time manupilation. Yosuke finally met Kira. And we finally saw his complete face. Damn, Jotaro mentioned that there can be someone even more powerful than Dio.. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| ZA HANDO is a pretty sick stand and the sound affect is perfection |
