Title: Jojo - The DIAMOND IS NOT CRASH

In the most recent WSJ issue; this promotional poster for JJBA Part 3; Stardust Crusaders; was included. It will be officially announced on the 22nd December 2013 at Jump Feista; and the website in the above image has the date '2014' on it.

With it confirmed that we're getting Stardust Crusaders next year; the most famous of the Jojo stories; which has had enough of a cultural impact to be referenced in many works [Including Touhou]; I think now is a good time to start up a Jojo thread.

Discuss the ongoing manga; Part 1/Part 2's anime adaptations; and even the previous Part 3 OVA! If you don't know what JJBA is; I highly recommend looking into it before Part 3's 2014 adaptation comes out! The anime adaptations of Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency are THE most true-to-source adaptations I have ever seen.

Let's get some hype going for Jotaro and Dio!

The adaptations of part 1 and 2 reflected their length. Part 1 was... 9 episodes if I remember right while part 2 was twice as long. Part 3 is about as long as the first two combined, so it may very well be a full 26 episodes, which will make me giddy with excitement.

Damnit typos.

Praying for a good budjet on this one considering both their Neptunia and Jojo pt1-2 presales were really good.

Well considering they're not advertizing Diamond is Unbreakable as well; it seems like at the very least the whole season will be Pt3. And the budget 'should' be larger; seeing the success of Part 1/2 and the fact... well... this is Stardust Crusaders. Jotaro and Part 3 Dio are some of the most iconic manga characters.

And the detail on the poster is really good too. So if that's anything to go by...

Basically as I said above; they're not putting anything from Diamond is Unbreakable on that poster; so it seems like it's Stardust Crusaders only. Having the animation team focus solely on one main cast should help improve the quality; of both the art consistancy and the voice acting.

If viewed as a necro I apologise.

It has begun, it is largely on form (yes the budget has gone up), CGI walking through prison corridors notwithstanding.
Anime of the season most likely, been waiting for a full Stardust Crusaders adaptation for a long time.

Perhaps. While all the parts are connected to each other in one way or another, they're fairly independent. Thus, you can start the series pretty much from anywhere. That said (and I know this is cliche), the series is probably best enjoyed from the very beginning.

IT BEGINS

And yes, JJBA works both standalone and as a total story very well. [With the exception of Part 7, which is a reboot and thus the prior parts do not matter]

Also each of the parts is a significantly different genre and setting, with the main character being very different in personality and even fighting style. So while you may not like, say, Part 2's style, Part 3 may work for you. And so on. Araki is awesome like that. Part 1 [Phantom Blood] feels COMPLETELY different to Part 2 [Battle Tendancy] and Part 3 [Stardust Crusaders]. Johnathon, Joseph and Jotaro are completely different characters.

I hope two things:
1: They remain as faithful to the manga [Barring needed Censorship, and I imagine there may be a fair amount of that in Part 3, such as Tower of Grey] as possible
2: The animation quality is a little more stable than the last season. They should be better now, and have a larger budget due to the success of Pt1 and Pt2.

Still, if you want to see what might be the most faithful adaptation of a manga into an anime ever, and a classic one at that, give JJBA a spin.

Parts 1 and 2, as well as the beginning of Part 3 can be kind of hard to get through at times. Just take your time. Imo, Part 4 is where the series starts to have everything figured out.
Although each arc is technically standalone, there are a lot of tie-ins. Personally, they really are best enjoyed (or at least most easily understood) in order, even if it means trudging through a less interesting arc.

I watched it only a few days ago and I'm pretty sure
the point was that Jonathan thwarted Dio's attempt to steal his body & hide in the coffin with his remaining strength
. Doesn't help that throughout part 2 the impression was that Jonathan had a nice respectful journey
and death
and had "dealt with the problem", except apparently not. It didn't seem like the cast was gloomy over a possible "failure", even partially, so it doesn't really mesh. Part 1 loses so much of its meaning to me now.

Hmm, that sounds complicated and time-consuming. Not that I have anything against complicated stories, but I certainly don't have time to watch two entire series right now before I start watching this. So if my choices are "watch it out of order" or "shelve it, possibly indefinitely" which do you recommend?

parts 1 and 2 are one (26 ep) series, part 3 will likely be the same length they were combined .
Watch out of order is fine (the start of part 3 is a confusing mess whatever) they are basically all stand alone.

yeah part 3 starts with a slight retcon of part 1's ending
Jonathan used his strength to get his wife out safely, she gets out in the same box as Dio possessing Jonathan's body is revealed to have done in part 3 (hence the secret compartment)
Title: Re: Get ready for the CRUSADE of STARDUST [JJBA Pt3]
Post by: Raikaria on April 14, 2014, 02:48:36 AM
Yes, the ending of Part 1 got slightly retconned with Part 3. [Yeah there was a 'secret compartment'. That doesn't explain how Dio snuck under Erina. Or how he did so considering the explosion and everything where he was on the boat still. Perhaps he took Johnothan's body while in the water, swam to the box and got in after Erina was rescued?J Just like Old-Joseph's design from the end of Part 2 went under a slight overhaul before Part 3.

But you know what? The adaptation is so faithful IT KEEPS THOSE FACTS.

Just like the color shifts are references to the mangaka very rarely being consistent with his coloring on color pages. Especially early in the manga. And especially with hair colors.  There's a reason why OVA Old Joseph is blonde yet Anime is Grey.

And you can certainly get into Part 3 without knowing the other parts. Joseph will be a bit more mysterious, but they explain Dio's background and Johnathon anyway in Part 3, and most of Battle Tendency is not relevant to Part 3, or any other par for that matter.

If you want to have a background going into Part 3, you can watch Part 1. You don't need to know Joseph's past to enjoy or understand Part 3.

Anyway, 2 eps in, and so far, the animations seem more consistent than last season. This is a good thing.

using Hamon later on in conjunction with Hermit Purple does get a little confusing if you haven't seen Part 2, and the fact that Stands are pretty much a complete evolution of Hamon will also be lost on you.

I'm pretty sure that
Joseph and Dio explain pretty clearly what Hamon is at the time however. Even then, you don't need to understand all the Hamon stuff, especially as these points are rather minor. Also, you can get this stuff from Part 1, you don't need to watch Part 2 at all to get Part 3, or anything that follows for that matter

Jojo is not one for those easily squirmed, quite a fair bit of body horror [Mostly part 2] and/or blood-filled scenes [Everywhere]

There's a reason for the shadow censoring in places.

But the horror at times is counter-dosed with manliness. Tryin to invade ya brain? NOT EVEN FLINCH.

Yeah, a parasitic pulsating xenograft that has pierced the skull and latched onto the brain isn't exactly the most sterile thing.

Speaking of heads and wrappings, I'm still trying to wrap my head around Daisuke Ono doing Jojo's voice. It's so counter-intuitive considering some of his other roles, but it still works. He's using a far more brusque tone that's a full octave deeper than what people are used to hearing him do.

EDIT: You know you're big into an anime when you check the raw first and then patiently wait for the subs so someone else can fill in all the blank spots in your meager knowledge of the Japanese language.

Been binging like hell on the series to catch up; Part 2 is probably my favorite so far.

Man, even just a few episodes in you can tell where the old OVA left a lot of stuff out. It's a shame too, because I'm enjoying these Stand fights they skipped over. I assume the
poker match
is a given at this point, and I'm really looking forward to seeing that since that was how I was introduced to JJBA in the first place.
Title: Re: Get ready for the CRUSADE of STARDUST [JJBA Pt3]
Post by: Raikaria on May 12, 2014, 03:44:51 PM
There is no way that the Poker Match would not be in it...

Actually wait. They saw fit to censor Jotaro smoking... so yeah, it might not be a given seeing as ya'know, gambling. [And it's not like the smoking was just cosmetic, it was part of a ploy]

By the way, I find it really, really, really stupid how they shadow-censored Jotato smoking. It just looked really dumb. I guess it *might* have had to have been done because in Part 3 he's 17 however, combined with the mangaka's rules of 'no changing stuff'... but then again
How would they do the poker scene then? Gambleing pre-18.
.

I mean, couldn't they just say Jotaro is 18, with permission from the Mangaka, of course. It wouldn't effect much, would it?

I'm not sure the titular member of J. Geils Band would appreciate being associated with a rapist. If I remember right, they went with Centerfold (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqDjMZKf-wg) because it's their most iconic, though they've certainly done (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW0hxbrmFhM) other stuff.

J. Geils => Centerfold is pretty clever, really. It doesn't mesh with what they are saying, but it keeps the general spirit of the namesake. As opposed to SantViento, anyways >=[

Also I done plowed through the whole animation over the week because reasons. I am still endless amused by German Soldiers of the Wermacht.

Well; there's still a large amount of the Tarot to go; as well as the Eygyptian God stands; Cream [Yes that is the name of Vanilla's stand]; and of course Dio.

And some of the things; like D'Arby they could easily make 2 eps. Dio could easily be 3.

And people will really be wanting D'Arby and Dio to be done right; given how well done they were done in the OVA.

Justice is probobly gonna be a 2 parter as well. Especially given who Justice's stand user is.

I don't *quite* see it reaching 48; but there's no way everything would be covered with 24. Heck; the Tarot has 22 cards. Throwing in the non-tarot stands made it clear it's gonna be longer than 24.

I love that stardust crusaders is going to be a year long (48-52 episodes or so).
I'd rather them get to part 4 as soon as possible.

Good things cannot be rushed. You'll get your lowest-stakes Jojo part soon enough. Provided Part 3 is a success enough for them to adapt it. And I don't see it NOT being.

I'd only get worried about Pt7.

Personally Pt4 is my least favorite because it just doesn't have the same weight as the others and doesn't even tie in with the rest of the storyline in any way, shape or form unlike every other part until 7; but each to their own. IMO it feels out of place; and almost like a breather compared to the other sections. I'd explain how the other parts tie in but hey; that would be major spoilers. Even Part 5 which has no direct impact on anything after it is more... cleaning up after what happened before.

I mean Part 4 has a certain item that is important in Part 3 and Part 5 as well; but it's use is not anything that really changes the overall storyline of the entire thing.

You could skip Part 4 and the story would still work entirely. You could do the same about Part 5 too; but Part 5 dosen't make sense without the preceding parts [Except 4]; while Part 4 does.

It's not BAD; it's just my least favorite of a really; really high standard bunch.

I've seen so many people say this but why? Is it because of the

? Or was it not popular in japan?
I'm more than halfway through it, and as far as writing goes, it's definitely Araki's finest work.

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!

Jojo's Bizzare Adventure: Stardust Crusaders is back for Round 2! It's the Eygpt Arc.

Personally, I'm going to be binge-watching it once it's all over, because I want to watch the entire final arc in one go over and over again. And then watch the OVA too. Because those parts are awesome.

I CANNOT WAIT for D'Arby and Dio, to see how much justice is done to them. I hope they can surpass the OVA in D'Arby.

Was counting down the weeks for this for some time. I did eventually lose track, but I started looking for it again at just the right time. My friend and I were so excited we did the pan-tsu-maru-mie secret handshake to celebrate.

Things are starting out much the same for the Jojo-dan, which is to say, it's a joy to watch.

Probobly 1~2 eps per Stand user; depending which user it is [They might be able to get some; like Anubis into one]; and maybe 3~4 for the finale.

Geb is probobly a 2-parter because there's quite a lot of important stuff which happens to the group.

I don't want to handle poo.

They're pretty crazy and kind of charming in a grotesque way.

Anyways. Uh, wow. They sort of ratcheted up the hardcoreness of the show when they reached Cairo, huh? A good portion of the episodes between... uh, I guess the Pakistan ones with Death and Cairo were a mix of fart and piss jokes with some good ones scattered here and there (I particularly liked the Bastet episodes), and most of the villains were pretty obviously filler villains. But Cairo? Jeez, they decided to stop pulling punches, huh?
Title: Re: Get ready for the CRUSADE of STARDUST [EGYPT ARC BEGINS]
Post by: Raikaria on June 01, 2015, 09:09:19 PM
Yeah, Part 3 was a massive shift for the manga, changing from hamon to stands. It almost feels like Akari at the point was just seeing what he could do with the concept; hence the ''filler villains'. But yeah; it turns on around when D'Arby shows up. Although Anubis and Alessi are not bad either. And while there are 'filler villains' they are still well done, and show the characters working together; or using abilities you've not seen before. [Or only seen once; such as against the Lovers Green uses its ability to enter bodies again.]

And you have to bear in mind that each arc has a theme. Part 3's theme is adventure. The journey. Part 1 is noble England. Part 2 is just really weird.
Part 4 is like a murder mystery. Part 5 is a mafia story. Part 6 is a prison tale. Part 7 is a western/horse race. Part 8 is a mystery, but not a murder mystery.]

Honestly it's the late part of the first season where the filler villains are worst, with the except of course of Enya. It's sorta the period between J.Guile and Enya. None of the Eygpt foes are that bad, even Oingo and Boingo serve their purpose as comic relief. [Although you can easily skip over their episodes and not miss much of value unless you want a comic relief ep.]

Also; for those of you wanting a possible glimpse of the future; Vanillia Ice
was voiced by the guy who voiced Pucci in All Star Battle.

Isn't Jojo in general pretty "filler" from part 3 on? I always viewed it as one of those things you read for the journey, not the destination. Never understood all those guys would watch part 3 always asking "Where's Dio?" minor spoilers for part 3
I always thought the Dio fight was overhyped and pretty eh anyway
Title: Re: Get ready for the CRUSADE of STARDUST [EGYPT ARC BEGINS]
Post by: Raikaria on June 02, 2015, 09:11:25 PM
One could argue Jojo is filler from Part 1. The Knights are Jack are filler. Whammu and AC/DC are filler.

But by that logic you can define anything in any anime which isn't the final enemy as 'filler'. 'Filler' is something which:

- Adds no important plot points, even if they are not immediate
- Reveals nothing new about the characters or their abilities
- Does not feature some sort of character development, be it personality or powers

In other words; filler can be skipped over with absolutely no ill effects. You miss nothing from skipping filler. This is why you can freely skip 'filler arcs' in anime with absolutely no ill effects. Because they do not provide any of the three above. [Or; at least; nothing of the three above which are treated as canon by the main story]

For example; Bastet is pretty much filler. We learn nothing new about Avdol or Joseph; nor do their characters develop and nor does the plot advance in any way. For that matter; Empress is also filler. Seems Joseph only gets battles to give Joseph battles.

On the other hand; you can say Sethan is not filler because we learn a bit about Polnareff and Jotaro; albeit; their youths. [For example; Polnareff has had his stand since birth; albeit in a much weaker form].

And in that sense; there's not actually that much filler. How many fights /miniarcs do we not learn anything? Do the group not bond more?
Title: Re: Get ready for the CRUSADE of STARDUST [EGYPT ARC BEGINS]
Post by: Raikaria on June 19, 2015, 07:10:22 PM
Eh it's a double post.

The season is over.

I think they did it justice. And then some. There were good things and bad things, but they were the good and bad from the source.

Unlike the end of Battle Tendency; they didn't do a teaser for Diamond is Unbreakable. I was expecting some form of Jouske teaser like they did a Jotaro teaser. In fact they even had a 'Fin' at the end; although to be fair the logo wasn't JJBA; it was; JJBA Stardust Crusaders. So it's up in the air if we're getting Part 4 onwards. Unlike Part 3.

Honestly if they are going to stop the adaptation the end of Part 3 is a sensible place; since it's the end of the Dio storyline until Part 6. [If you see Part 2 as an aftermath of Dio's actions to a degree and of course the introduction of Joseph] Part 4 and 5 are kinda disconnected. Especially 5. 6 isn't. But I'd really like to see 4~6 adapted. And with the success the adaptations have been I hope they don't stop and keep getting better, and more money for a bigger budget for better animation. Compare the quality of this season to Phantom Blood's animation; which was a lot less consistant.
