| Yeah that why I asked. Is there are lot of relevant plot points to make watching part 2 necessary to understand pat 3 and not get confused?. Or does this spoil some stuff about part 2? To understand part 2, you only need to know what are ripples. Other stuff that connect the two parts are old characters from part 1 like speed wagon and Eliena. |

ZodiacBeast said: Andan210 said: tsudecimo said: Should I finish part 2 before starting this..? I kinda wanna see this and more interested than part 2.. Yes, you need to watch Part 2 before watching this. I obviously know that it's the story of a major chapter in Jotaro's father Joseph's life, but I forget, what elements from Battle Tendency tied directly into Stardust Crusaders? BT is the story of Joseph, the grandfather of Jotaro and one of the main characters of SC. Just for that it should be obvious that the best thing to do is watch Part 2 before Part 3. I mean, SC assumes that you already know Joseph and his personality, his Hamon powers and the story of Joseph's parents. Not to mention the Speedwagon Foundation and his relation with the Joestar family. |

Not to mention the Speedwagon Foundation and his relation with the Joestar family. Yeah, I figured the biggest reason to watch Battle Tendency was to be familiar with Joseph and his abilities/family/etc. Forgot that Speedwagon Foundation was in Stardust Crusaders, but it's been a while since I've read the manga. |

| Dat Jojo craziness is BACK!! :D Loving Jotaro already! The dude is such a BA XD Lol'd so much how he calls his mom a bitch and she's totally masochistically enjoying it XDXD The animation looked amazing! And the Stands are looking damn good. Loving Old man Joseph ^^ Gonna miss him being voiced by Sugita but he's an old man now and Unsho is doing good :D Dat Dio! He's looking FABULOUS AS USUAL :P |

Not only for the plot points i've already mentioned, but because it will be a better experience if you watch the story in order. I mean, Battle Tendency is what? 12 episodes? 15? I don't see it that much of a sacrifice. |
| The only True Ending is the Harem Ending. |
| @ tsudecimo While it isn't absolutely essential to see part 2 before Stardust, I just can't recommend skipping it. Seeing Joseph when he was young is pretty cool and may fill in some blanks you may otherwise have about his character. But, no, I suppose it isn't a must watch. Just highly recommended. I remember reading some of your comments about part 2, though. I thought you were enjoying it? |

judals said: Yes basically it's thanks to Araki's ripple/stands that now in the present we have powers like that in OP, HxH ect. ZodiacBeast said: judals said: I don't mind minor spoilers but in what way is it gonna be crazy, just wanna make sure what I should expect... is it some 'bizarre' IDGAF crazy such as BT (on steroids) or creatively crazy with out-the-box ideas, or....? Here's a rundown of the different Stands: http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Stands In part 3 Jotaro has a pretty versatile Stand but his father can smash a camera and make a psychic picture of the intended target/event. One stand is microscopic and enters your head to attack your brain. Many stands have a humanoid shape but just as many don't. Hope that's minor enough. Part V DylDawg said: It's up to us what should we believe. It might be that probably Erina took a part of the coffin and escaped. Seconds later, DIO on Jonathan's body found the rest and closed himself into it. Or perhaps Erina was rescued by a boat, and they decided to throw away the coffin just to look for it 100 years later. Anyway, whatever it is, I believe we should praise DP for trying to fix or improving these kind of "plot holes" in the story.Akanezora said: "a strange box was discovered, when opened it had 2 separate compartments" Wich means that Dio got inside one of the compartments with Jonathan's Body while Erina and Lisa Lisa got out in the other. Plot Hole status: Filled I still find that weird, and how come Erina did not feel the other compartment? insan3Spectre said: Basically this. Why should someone skip previous Parts? For the hype of it?While it isn't absolutely essential to see part 2 before Stardust, I just can't recommend skipping it. Seeing Joseph when he was youngis pretty cool and may fill in some blanks you may otherwise have about his character. |
 |
| Great start and one of the stronger shows of the season (But of course, it's Jojo!). Loving the new budget on this; looks absolutely amazing. |

I remember reading some of your comments about part 2, though. I though you were enjoying it? Yeah I was, to a degree. But I'm not too thrilled about finishing it ( I don't like the villains). The actual reason, I can't finish it is time. It's 10 episodes and I don't have enough time to finish it, due to real life issues these days.

I'm too hyped though, I love the protagonist even though I know nothing about him |

| Kakyoin is making his appearance next week hell yeah Stark700 said: If it adapted about 4 chapters and going this pace, it might be 3 cour to be honest. There might be a few omissions but I'm confident in the pacing right now. And next week will likely be the OP + ED song. Yeah, hoping for a 3 cour because I don't think a 2 cour will cut it.. |
 |
| Awesome opening episode, the animation was much greater than S1's. Also, the art style has improved a bit, cool! |

I'm too hyped though, I love the protagonist even though I know nothing about him Jotaro is the epitome of coolness, you won't be disappointed. And i'm also like you, i can't wait to see Jousuke, the protagonist of Part 4, even though i haven't read that part of the manga yet. |
| The only True Ending is the Harem Ending. |
| I'm so excited to watch this but not gonna ruin it for myself with cruncyshit subs. Hopefully MudaMuda picks this up. |
| @ tsudecimo Yeah the Pillarmen, aside from maybe Wham, aren't the greatest villains but the fights involving them are pretty cool. I still recommend watching part 2, though. Maybe an episode a day or something? You have a week in between Stardust episodes so you'll have a few episodes piled up by the time you finish. |

| Just don't skip parts, please. Every part is connected in some way, starting from 1, 2 and 3. There is absolutely no reason to skip the parts, and if you prefer reading then go for it, parts 1 and 2 are only a few volumes. |
| Anyway glad to see Joseph again. I hope he will still using his catchphrase. |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Solid first episode, I imagine around the middle they might start cutting/speeding things up but the pacing based on chapters looks good too. |
  |
| Im predicting anime of the year! Amazing first episode. Dio is back. And JoJo's awesome spirits! Can't wait for the next episode. |
| @NeoAnkara Good, because you'll be hearing it alot. |

judals said: Can't wait for the Sounds even cooler. Lol, you spoil very far ahead. Anyway, I think adaptions of part4 and 5 are very likely as especially the last of the two is very popular in Japan. I am not sure about Stone Ocean, though - I just want SBR ;_; |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I've been hearing it on the commercial when I watch part 2 you know the one about JoJo All Star Battle. |

| Duwang is Unbreakable adaptation after this would be awesome, even though Japan loves 3 and 5 more it's sandwiched perfectly for sales to justify its existence. |
|
| production values for this episode were much better then season 1. Just imagine what they'll be able to do with part 4... |
 |
| My god the excitement. each week is gonna be tough to wait for |
| I smell a good budget. The animation in this episode is probably better than all of the episodes of Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency. I'm looking forward to the OP and ED of the anime next week. |
| Well, since i've read the first two volumes of the manga, guess i've got nothing to say about the plot or the characters. but it definitely look great! what an upgrade from the 2012 adoption, looks like the Blu-Ray sells has paid off. great directing, good OST, seiyuus are good and fit the characters well, great pace, and ... a fucking animation!111!!11 yes, something which the 2012 adoption lacked so much. a perfect episode. 5/5 |
Drastic-MeasureApr 4, 2014 1:01 PM
| Like everyone else, I'm rather impressed and surprised by the noticeable increase in animation quality. They must have made a lot of money on the 2012 series. It will be great if the series consistently looks that good. The episode was everything I hoped for, this is going to be awesome. |
| Lets hope they don't waste too much of that budget on the first episodes, and save up something for the important battles. Pretty great start and I hope that this pacing is a sign that it will be 3-cour after all. Just give each stand one episode and it will work out perfectly. |

| Dat budget. David Production has outdone themselves with this show this far. The BD sales for the 2012 version must've done really well in sales. I really hope this anime becomes 3-cour, it seems most likely for this kind of show as there is lots of chapters to adapt. Good first episode, I can't wait for what's coming next. Especially with what's shown in the preview. |
 |
| Dat Budget. Looks gorgeous. I finished Bizarre Adventures a while ago and I'm sooo looking forward to Stardust Crusaders. So any chance that there's some YES music gonna be in this season of Jo Jo? |

| this episide was amazing, its good to see joseph back but the mother is 45 and looks 20 lol |
 |
| I haven't watch the other prequel of this series yet, but I enjoyed watching this sequel. The old man(joseph) pretty much explained what's going on so it's not hard to catch up. I'll probably watch the prequel of this. For a guy who have a huge body like that to be given a nickname Jojo somehow made me smirk. |
