----------------------------------------
Got what I had expected this episode.

Good to see Rohan making his appearance as well as Toshikazu. I find their designs to be fitting with the manga on most parts. Heaven's Door is also a niece sight to see and I find the episode pretty creative.

- Rohan has a lovely house,would be a shame if it were to burnt down you know...

- Sakurai > Kamiya

- Waited years to see my 2nd favourite from this part to appear, here he is!

- Never liked his first outfit (Rohan wears the most outfits in this part, odd fashion senses however).

- Ending has different visuals towards the end, includes Shizuka, Rohan, Akira and Joseph.

Sakurai's Rohan is much better, no matter what all those rabid Hiroshi Kamiya fangirls might scream.
Episode was good, except censorship of the spider. Was that really necessary, Warner Brothers?

I love how people were hating Sakurai when it was announced that he will be Rohan but not Kamiya, but Sakurai proved to be the better Rohan. Favorite episode yet, and I can't wait to see Rohan more! And damn spider censorship :/

Smiling like a damn fool for the entire thing and it didn't even feel like ~20 minutes.
So happy that Rohan is finally here. *__*

You guys keep noticing the spider censorship meanwhile i'm here noticing how much he licked the damn thing. Thanks DP!!!!!!

I never liked Kamiya's voice for Rohan, very glad they replaced him. The episode was amazing as well, very good adaption of the Rohan arc so far.

If Araki could choose one of his stand creations to manifest in real life, he would choose Heaven's Door.

Also I'm not 100% sure but I think there was a small cameo of an upcoming character in the episode.

So music references like Speedwagon and Heaven's Door are okay while mere words like echoes and surface are not? I don't get it.

Anyway I liked the reactions of the boys. Hazamadas hair seems highly suspicious xD
No new OP and ED tho :/

Damn that stand ability is awesome!!

This is a great episode.

Still about that mangaka... he was so excited after seeing Koichi's lifestyle... but what would happen if he were to see Joseph's life history? I surely don't want that to happen, leave the old man alone but this guy would truly die ecstasy!

I felt that they went a little overboard in making him creepy, and as a result making his entrance feel a bit like Tonio's.
Still,love the new character.

Rohan is amazing!
I don't know if I hate him or love him, his passion for manga is over 9000!
And his stand is cool, he can make you do whatever he wants, and the ability to read every memory is great.
I felt bad for Hazamada though,poor guy.

the spider scene was also incredible. also, hazamada's ball habit.

Most creative stand yet and damn was it fun!
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Yup, that's just osomatsu, I can't unhear it.

While I do love Rohan's anime voice, I still also really like his all star battle voice. So why even hold up one matsu to another, let's just say they're both great. Plus it's not really fair to compare the two because you can still hear pretty big differences in performances between the mediums even in the characters that have the same voice actor in the anime and asb, like Jotaro and Dio.

So yeah Rohan was just as great as I expected him to be, and of course just as creepy and weird as all manga creators are. (They all lick spiders, I'm sure of it.) And lets not forget that delicious self promotion when Rohan was reading Koichi's life story; "Wow! This is so goddam interesting! If this were a manga that I created I'd call it Koichi's Kooky Quest and it would be a number 1 seller that would run for over 25 years!"

It is a self aware show, Araki poking fun that Koichi is a typical shonen character (he has gone through a lot of development within one cour).

Really disappointed. This Is the Rohan character people have been jizzing their pants in anticipation for 13 weeks over? I found him annoying and his stand power is boring. Maybe he gets better later.

That was fucking awesome. Sakurai was definitely a great choice, he nails the quirky prick personality that Rohan has. I was quite amused to realize that they picked the Chocolate man from IBO to voice Rohan.

Heaven's Door is one of the coolest stands in the entire franchise.

I fucking love Rohan. He it's crazy as fuck, but his personality and Stand are so creepily entertaining it's hard to dislike the guy. Sakurai's performance was perfect. I like Kamiya's Rohan too, but Sakurai was a perfect choice.

Next episode will be great.

Btw, didn't Hazamada look smaller here than in his first apparition?

Rohan is here! Woohoo!! Heaven's Door is objectively one of the most OP stands in the series; sure Star Platinum can beat the crap out of you, but if you so much as look at Heaven's Door you'll be put under Rohan's spell and a slave to his whims.

Also I may be in the minority here but I really hated Kamiya as Rohan in the games. The fact that his replacement is a much better fit for the role gives me no small amount of joy :-D.

This is an abomination, Kamiya Hiroshi is not the
voice actor for Kishibe Rohan,WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?



Setting that aside, Araraki finally appeared........
nope just kidding but Araraki said in an interview
that out of all Stands that he created so far, he will
prefer to have Rohan's Heaven's Door



But man who could blame the guy I mean like come
on, that ability is so damn convenient for EVERYTHING!!!

Rohan sure takes manga very seriously. Licking that spider. Lol Hazamada puking. I wonder if he cleaned it all up.
Heaven's door is a cool ability. Reading people like a book & altering their memories.
Okuyasu & Josuke & on to Koichi.
Guess we will hear the new OP song next week.

If anything araki is the bootleg and rohan is the true mangaka.

But yeah, nothing new to add to this discussion, I'm super stoked to finally see Rohan animated, even in his worst outfit. I do think Takahiro is fit casting, but we'll have to wait for RPS Kid/the dice scene/Cheap Trick to see how he pulls off Rohan at his most desperate and dramatic!
