THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A new streamer appeared and the episode was GLORIOUS.
Sugita is awesome, the style is awesome, the music is just as great - maybe even better - as in Phantom Blood and the new ending animation is bloody amazing.

Battle Tendency, you are finally here. I could cry tears of joy!

I'm not going to lie. I was nearly in tears by the end of the episode because I was so happy at how the first episode of Battle Tendency went. It was just too fabulous.

I dig Joseph's style and Sugita fits him perfectly. I'm guessing Smokey will be taking over Speedwagon's narration role.

I think Joseph's voice could be less, uh, tense? For a trickster incarnate he sure sounds overly serious most of the time. Anyway, the tommy gun scene was my favourite.

Still not too hyped about the censoring. With some of the stuff the Pillar Men will pull off (Oh, hi Mark!) I'm afraid we'll have too much of the cool fights ending as just "black stuff on the screen".

4 Chapters of the manga, perfectly within average (Battle Tendencies manga is 69 chapters, anime episodes are 17)

Next ep will be faster, however, adapting around 7 chapters.

It's not like there is a way to show such stuff on TV. At least it will be uncensored in the BD version.
The only alternative would have been completely cutting gory scenes, so we should be glad they don't do it.

But I wonder if they'll censor (half-)naked male bodies. Because I remember a lot of them in Part 2.

Yeah, this episode was as great as I was hoping it would be. Sugita matches Joseph's cocky attitude perfectly, the pacing was right on the mark and the use of colours was as bold as ever. Really looking forward to those Blu-ray releases now :D.

The next episode is going to be amazing, I can't wait to see the Joseph vs Straits fight. and if they get to it, it'll be hilarious to see this animated:

Also, very nice episode. Sugita's voice really fits Joseph, and the voice acting in general is good.

I agree with you a little bit. The more boyish-sounding voice from the 1998 fighting game seemed like it was a better fit for the character's trickster personality than the deep, masculine voice they gave him here. I especially loved the way the 1998 voice said lines like:



They were so awesome, and sounded like I imagined they would. ^_^ I'm not sure how Sugita's deeper voice is going to sound in Joseph's sillier moments, comparatively. But, I know that for a lot of male viewers, deep voice = perfect voice, so maybe it's for the best. xD

Anyway, this episode was an awesome introduction to the character, and I can already tell that this story arc's adaptation is about to blow every newcomer's expectations out of the water. It's going to be fun reading their impressions for the coming months. =)

"Drink a Coke Cola a day, and you'll be able to handle ripples and beat the crap out of cops!" - This message was brought to you by our sponsors, the Joestars.

Overall though, it was a pretty entertaining episode that set up the new arc.

Oh, and of course they would introduce a black character who goes by the name of "Smokey".

Holy crap Tomokazu Sugita as Joseph Joestar is PERFECT!! The inflections in his voice matches Joseph's arrogant attitude to a tee. I only wish the animation could keep up with Sugita's voice, you'll see Joseph talking with only his mouth moving but the emotions through the words coming out are changing constantly. As a character, I'm really digging Joseph moreso than Jonathan, I know we just met him and all but he made one hell of a first impression. How the hell was he able to hide a Tommy Machinegun in his jacket LMFAO. WTF moment for me of the episode X D

"TAXI TAXI!!" Sugita's engrish gets me as always

Why did Speedwagon have to die!? : ( No more epic whining and commentary from our favorite oil baron. I'm just so pumped for this arc and more GAR then ever. When Roundabout started playing and we saw the new artwork showing Jonathan "passing the torch" Joseph that was a good moment. This episode overall had some really good artwork/ soundtrack with the Pillarmen and New York respectively. Even the episode preview sounds badass

I am glad everyone is loving Joesph Joestar. He was my favorite character on MAL as soon as I finished Battle Tendency. Things are ONLY going to get better from here.

You might doubt this. You might doubt, how hiding a Tommy gun in his jacket can be beat, but it is. Next episode is going to be one of the best.

I think by the end of Battle Tendency, everyone is going to be screaming at the top of their lungs with manliness.

Ikr.. And from what I remember, the Machine gun scene was much better played out than the Manga... It was only like 1 or 2 panels
