| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, I think the new OP song is good, quite catchy actually. THOSE VISUALS. So they introduced the "Alien" of this series, one of the even more bizarre arcs. I do like how they also showed more of Kira's new life though, especially the part where he struggles to control himself. Mikitaka is so damn mysterious :o I think they portrayed him well though. |
 |
| The new opening is fucking horrible. |
| Excellent episode direction, I loved the transitions and the use of BGM. DiU is the best adaptated part in the anime so far. The new op is already my favorite one (though the song is not as good as some of the others in the Jojo anime) ...Though the op scenes make me think about |
 |
Golden wind teaser in the opening song |
| It kinda sorta makes sense for a few reasons that the arrow wouldn't work on Alien after reading part 5. My favorite part of part 4 is here, they should've gave the Chinchirorin it's own episode, I'm a sucker for Kaiji, they better handle the tension of the game well. Like that beginning segment with Kira, like Kira's theme as well Alien with just a prank bro. Not sure what to think of that opening, I'll let grow on me, I'm sure there was a better way they could've gone with to portray the end of Kira's story. Highway Star animated, holy shit. David Production are not even trying with the character designs anymore, new and different derp faces every frame, those BDs better be worth it.  |

There was some more outsourcing here in this ep. Move along, move along The stills we got at the part with Shinobu in Kira's new life definitely seemed unfinished |

| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
What the hell do years 1999 and 2001 mean though? I can't make sense out of them in context of Part 4 and 5. The way Great Days imitated western music was amazing btw. |

| I like the visuals in the opening,but the song is awful.The episode was good and very funny.Mikitaka makes his appearance and his actions based on his ignorance about Earth were hilarious.Josuke after he was convinced that Mikitaka is an Alien wanted to scam Rohan in a dice game by taking advantage of Mikitaka's tranformation ability.During the game though,Mikitaka doesn't know about holding back in a game,which is based clearly in luck and this make Rohan suspicious.That little of Kira was very good and we saw how much he struggles to adapt in his new life.Next week it seems they will adapt the rest of the game and then we will see Highway Star. |
 |
| I like the opening, it feels like a picnic (and the visuals were good, a lot of references about the last arc). The episode was good, one of my favorite arcs in diamond, but the designs were horrible in some parts. Next episode is gonna be hilarous. Also (in ny opinion): Sono chi no kioku >Bloody stream > Crazy noisy > Sono chi no sadame > Great days > Chase > Stand proud. |
Kellhus said: The new opening is fucking horrible. It really is. 2nd viewing didn't change my opinion. |
| The new opening is awesome, feels so 90~ish, i believe not everyone will like that kind of Music, but i bet that they will love it when anime ends and they will fucking love it, same thing happens with EVERY JoJo opening, is a fact XD |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Wow quite a bit of dislike for the new op, i thought it was really fun and very quirky, like jojo itself. Its not one of the best but still enjoyable and full of easter eggs. Awesome ep though, i do think that because this adaptation is going to be 39 eps that the quality is dropping quite a bit in this middle section, but that's to be expected, and i bet they will be cleared up in the blu-ray sets which will be awesome. There were some great scenes in this episode as well, with kosaku at the start, (shinobu is tip top) and alien legolas is great xD. Enjoyable episode went way too fast |
| I really really dislike Kira's new design. The previous one was 10/10. Anyway the episode has its funny moments. |
| Lol the song is pretty wack, not too crazy about it but I love the visuals. Dem posing and those hints to Part 5! The GW 2001 and also the book with "Golden Wind" written on. They cut some things, unfortunately :< Josuke practicing with Mikitaka and him starting to puke - Josuke and Okuyasu at the start of the alien chapter and (weirdly enough) the kid spying on his mom and Kira. They have two more chapters for next week, followed by probably about 3 chapters of Highway Star (I mean 'Go Go', lmao) - pretty much what I was hoping they'd do. |

| 10/10 milf, if I was Kira I would've nutted inside at least 10 times already |
| Let me comment a bit about the OP. I like how it captures the mood of Morioh whilst a threat lurks amongst them. The "breakdown" is my favourite part as it showcases all the attributes of Kira's stand. Later on everything shown are references to future episodes (and Vento Aureo as mentioned before) like the part when Killer Queen touches the kid, which is major in the future. I also wondered why they also point up to the sky, and I think the OP gave me the answer, they're all pointing to their deceased friends while pointing back, giving them hope. The song is good on its own but feels a bit untimed with the visuals, oh yeah, the visuals are so good. It didn't grow on me first but it's starting to. TL;DR Amazing visuals capturing Morioh-cho, fun Easter eggs here and there and a song that isn't good at first but might grow onto you overtime |

| Anyways, the episode. Really funny and cool that another member has joined Ed, Edd and Eddy, this time, an alien :o Kira can't hold back his fetishes is also creepy but funny. Poor Rohan, first gets attacked by Stand sucking mini Polnareff now a scam artist Josuke with an alien that can turn itself into anything. Highway Star next episode, can't wait! P. S: C'mon DP, what the fuck is up with the outsourcing? The new Eps look fucking disgusting. |

| So we got the final OP for DiU. The visuals are a lot more dynamic. but that song. I don't think it fits the last part. I always thought the 2nd OP's tense song and dim visuals should've fit the last part of DiU, especially with how the final fight will roll out. I feel like the 2nd and 3rd OP songs should've been swapped. |
| New OP is Greato Daze. Still not feeling the song yet, but even Chase grew on me, so I'm pretty sure I'll like it by the end. Visuals in the OP are amazing, though. So much off model this episode. But I guess they're saving the animation for the more intensive episodes *cough*Highwaystar*cough* Best alien has arrived. Josuke shows his inner Joseph Joestar by conning Rohan. |
 |
| Not a fan of the new OP for the moment. I'm gonna miss Chase |
 |
| Terrible OP, by far the worst. At least Josuke finally got his kewl shoes :) |
| I'm down with this new OP. Has more visual easter eggs than you can shake a stick at. Not down with so much of the art being off-model. |
 |
| Not impressed by the new opening. This is also my least favorite part of this part of Jojo :/ |
| this episode closure seems incomplete/rushed, barely into the game and already ended |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
GangsterCat said: this episode closure seems incomplete/rushed, barely into the game and already ended Yeh, I noticed too, but they only have 12 more episodes til the 39 episode limit to complete the DiU story. They haven't got much time to pad out the episodes. I thought they might remove a couple of unimportant chapters like the Janken Boy chapter, but it looks like they're not going to ignore anything. |
| Do we have an official track of Kira's leitmotif or not yet? |
| An alien,cool, a bit boring but not bad. He is cheating Rohan, somehow I don't think that Josuke will leave with any money. I liked the last opening, I guess I have to get used to the new one now. |
 |
| LMAO this was so random, why would they introduce an alien all of a sudden? This is the first time I see a TV shows doing something that doesn't belong in it but it was enjoyable though. |
| Fun times with aliens. It never gets old. Loved the new OP also. |
 |
| Yeah the alien thing came a bit from nowhere, but whatever this is JoJo. I'm loving already how a silly idea of Josuke to make money made things as tense as a villain appearing. Also really liked how Josuke and Okuyasu were pretty much having a conversation telepathically at the beginning. |
| 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... |

Also really liked how Josuke and Okuyasu were pretty much having a conversation telepathically at the beginning. They're either talking through their Stands or they've achieved the higher level of bromance where they formed a telepathic connection. |
Repose said: They cut some things, unfortunately :< Josuke practicing with Mikitaka and him starting to puke - Josuke and Okuyasu at the start of the alien chapter and (weirdly enough) the kid spying on his mom and Kira. A bit disappointed about that too. That's probably my favorite part about this Mikitaka arc. Dizzee said: why would they introduce an alien all of a sudden? This is the first time I see a TV shows doing something that doesn't belong in it but it was enjoyable though. Are you really sure that he's an alien, though? lol Well, the opening is... not good enough for now, but I definitely love the visuals. About the episode, probably the funniest one so far imo. |
| Anybody knows the title of the song from the beginning? The one from the radio. |
 |
Grimmgeta said: Edit: Oh yeah, they left the scene of Hayato spying on Kira out too didn't they? Well at the end of Kira's scene, the camera zooms in on a suspicious lens/hole in the ceiling, implying that somebody's watching them (namely Hayato.) I guess it wasn't implied enough for audience to know that somebody's watching "Kosaku". |
This outfit deserves its own post. Kishibe Rohan, explain this mess of an outfit, please. What is any of this. Why put the belts around your knee but not around your waist. Why wear pants that are 10 sizes too big anyway. And did you accidentally stab your shirt with scissors and wash it at 80°C? This is by far my favourite slutty Rohan outfit. |
|
The pants are very 90s, dunno about the knee belts ahaha. But yeah I love his outfits. I can't wait for his other little white number with the high zipped up boots/shoes. Hnnng! So much visual inconsistency with this series but I feel like they do make an effort to present Rohan at an above average standard. nice forum avatar btw Anyway, Mikitaka my strange boy. He doesn't seem as weird as he should be or maybe i've gotten used to all of this... OP is meh, though I do like some sequences but as someone said: 0 energy. |

| DAMN I LOVED THAT NEW EPISODE That opening was really sweet, really like the visuals and music. 1st and 3rd op are really upbeat compared to the 2nd opening though, tbh Josuke's get rich quick of the week :P |
