----------------------------------------
Holy shit, rat and corpses. I must say, they captured the thrill of the episode pretty well for the hunting arc.

Quite an unusual episode imo with the antagonists being rats. Really bought out the bizareness of the series. I also kinda like how they are adapting the arc especially with the character chemistry between Josuke and Jotaro. Reim's also such a strange Stand imo.

I like how the rats would've killed Jotaro or Josuke individually and they had to combine their abilities to win.

It also sucks that Jotaro never keeps using ball bearings to extend his range. I could get not carrying bullets everywhere, but come on.

- This episode brilliantly adapted one of my top 6 favourite arcs from this part

- Lovely bonding episode between an Uncle and his nephew, further characterising both characters

- Fuck power levels, all about wits/strategy, Jotaro defeated a time stopping fabulous immortal vampire and lost to rat a decade+ later :P

- Jotaro's new outfit is my favourite from this part (he wears another fan beloved outfit next), his dolphin pins kissing each other, Dolphin/Sun pin on his hat, new boots, colour scheme and a giant triangle pin on his chest - Jotaro fashion sense on point, though I prefer Rohan's various outfits a bit more :)

- Josuke learn a new skill

- Jotaro a Marine Biologist was dropping them rat facts :P

- More Rohan next week ! Seems to be a single episode and not a parter?

10/10 episode.

- Josuke and his love for designer wear

They did a great job adapting this episode imo. I feel like they represented the atmosphere of this hunting art fantastically well too. Never liked this arc too much but seeing it animated maybe made me like it a bit more.

Hyped for next week. It's finally time.

I loved the episode, but another week to go until the next episode.

So Jotaro is now the Stand of Star Platinum? They will probably fix the error within the Blu-ray/DVD release.

Can that rat beat Dio if Dio is in Jotarou situation?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Depends on how seriously Dio takes the fight since he can stop time longer than Jotaro.

Jotaro got defeated, because he insisted on being the bait, so that Josuke would get a clear shot. If Jotaro was alone, he would probably use less risky tactics.

The art and animation clearly look much more polished than the previous episodes, keep it up DP.
Good to see Star Platinum use Za Waldo again.
It's absolutely hilarious that these rats almost killed a time stopper in Jotaro.
The rat cube thing has to be the most digusting page in Jojo: http://i.imgur.com/evfYORA.jpg, they made it less disgusting in this episode imo.
They skipped this very important panel, too bad DP.


They also skipped Josuke being stingy and commenting on how his shoes got fucked up and that they cost a lot of money, not as bad as Mickey Mouse skip though.

What makes this fight really underwhelming for me is that Jotaro just refused to shoot the rat in the frozen time. For an experienced stand user that also has a degree in biology you sure botched this fight, eh, Jotaro? Like him stopping time at any point gives him a free really accurate shot that should've killed any of the rats. How did you manage to startle the other rat, did you show him pictures of your dolphin wife?

Depends on whether or not he'd still be able to regenerate if his flesh becomes goop. Because if he wouldn't he'd probably end up as a pile of vampire jelly waiting for the sunrise to take care of what remains of his body.

Once again the art and animation looked really gureto this episode. This was a really good episode for Jotaro, too, he's putting that marine biology Ph.D. smarts to work. He was always really clever and attentative in Stardust Crusaders, so seeing him like this just feels right, I'm glad he got a lot of focus this episode while simultaneously having gureto chemistry with Josuke.

And Josuke remembered to fix the people in the fridge, right?

I really loved the dynamics between Josuke and Jotaro this ep!
Who knew rat hunting could be so intense...well this is JoJo I guess, if there's gonna be animals doing bizarre shit, it's gonna be here- especially judging by past occurrences.

Here's hoping Josuke fixed those poor people in the fridge quickly...he just started having a convo with Jotaro whilst the poor mushed up messes were suffering!!

Also, that opening song is really growing on me after a second week...I was kinda sad after seeing that they replaced the first one since it fit so well but this one is pretty epic tbh. It's like I can tell it has some spoilers, but since I'm anime only I won't spot them until after I've finished the anime!

By the looks of things we have more Rohan to look forward to next week so yay! Although I'm wondering when the hand fetishist will show up???

Lmao, Jotaro suffered the same nerf Joseph suffered during Stardust Crusaders. The man who defeated Dio, beaten by a rat xD His biology knowledge, however, was cool.

Anyway, the Stand of the rats was really creepy and was some nightmare fuel material. Josuke at the end was awesome, love how smart he can be when the situation is needed and how hot blooded he behaves in other situations (like the fight against Rohan).

Next episode will be the appearence of

One of my favorite mini arcs in the series just because we get to see some good old fashion team up with the Joestars. Josuke learns new and pretty important skill and we get to see Rohan next week!

I thought Jotaro said he hadn't been able to use The World since the fight with Dio or did I imagine that? Anyways yet again an entertaining episode.
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...

Actually, in his first meeting with Josuke, he said that it was the first time he used the time stop ability since the battle with Dio.

Fantastic episode. Love how this series isn't about power levels so even though Jotaro beat Dio it doesn't mean he can just steamroll every enemy. I mean they struggled against a rat, and it took both Jotaro and Josuke working together to beat it.

I've always really liked this fight, so I'm glad to see newer fans are able to appreciate this fight for what it is: not a contest of strength, but of knowledge of the weaknesses of yourself and those of others.

Awesome episode. Cool to see Jotaro & Josuke hang out & go hunting.
Ewww that corpse of melted rats was disgusting.

Love how Jotaro incorporates his vast knowledge on animals to find the rats.
Those rats are really smart.

Poor Josuke feeling the pressure.

Cool to see Jotaro use "The World". Love the sound effects. Even the rat was giving him trouble.
Great shot by Josuke. Direct hit.

great episode nonetheless, and NEXT eps we're moving to the main plot with rohan.
