Even in the manga, we never see Josuke face on Rohan's side stories and I like to think that Araki does that to fit how Rohan hates Josuke so much.
("I dont want to see your face in MY manga"-Rohan Kishibe)

And before somebody asking why it's "Episode 5 - Millionaire Village"

"The chapters in Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe are episodically numbered that way. Currently, there are 6 chapters. It goes: Episode 16, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 9, with 16 being the first episode/chapter to be released and 9 being the latest."
"tl;dr: Araki being Araki"

Yeah, that's what I love about DP's adaptation. They rarely deviate from the manga, but when they do, it ends up being an absolutely amazing idea. Like the entire first two minutes of DiU, which has to be one of the best openers I've ever seen to an anime =w=

A good enough rendering of this short scary story. Better drawn than the whole Jojo 4 TV show, thanks to the format I guess.

Enjoyment: 3/5 (of course, it's already pretty classic horror story and when you already know the manga, it's even less effective)
Score: 7/10

Agree. DP has been amazing with their JoJo adaptation so far, and, honestly, I can't wait for them to animate the other Rohan one shots (that is, if they animate them).

Rohan sentimentally looking up to the sky??
Rohan moving in with Okuyasu??!

WHO IS THIS IMPOSTER?!!

Seriously though, it was just nice to have more JoJo...even for like 20 minutes. I just wish the story were a little longer because it felt incomplete and a bit rushed.
The art didn't both me at all (people kept freaking out about it) and although Kyoka looked a bit weird, Rohan looked at least 10x better than he did in the DiU anime.

Gotta say that eating corn has never looked so menacing.

Ughh, now I really want Part 5 :/
Or a Dead Man's Questions OVA bc that'd tie in nicely with the conclusion of Part 4.

I just loved how Josuke was there at the end too but the camera didn't focused in him at all xD

About the OVA, it was nice to see Rohan not acting like a complete dick to someone not named Koichi. The way he owned that imp was simply awesome.
New artstyle didn't bothered me, though Kyoka and Koichi looked weird as Hell.

It was good to watch JoJo in motion again after the end of DiU's anime, although it was not enough. Hopefully, David Pro will announce the news for Part 5 anime soon.

Nice episode, I kinda want them to do the other chapters as well. Doubt that's gonna happen though.

Just finished the Rohan OVA. Shame they didn't animate the rest of the manga.

Still, at first I didn't like Rohan(he's smug and acts all mighty), but over time I became to enjoy his character more. He slowly opens up to others and even tries to help people as much as possible despite being in denial. I also have gotten used to Sakurai being Rohan. I think he really does the character so well!!!

One thing I've been meaning to ask. Is Rohan based on Araki himself?? Their both manga artists and their both have a unique sense of style and way of coming up ideas while writing JoJo(I Know Araki likes to Travel to Italy for some material in the later parts).

The animation is kinda different than the TV series. Rohan feels a bit normal and buff sometimes. I like the ED song as well.

Manners are important! I didn't know about the Tatami floor can be so strict!

They could have animated the Rohan manga while waiting for Part V. Oh well. I don't know why the character never appears again in Part V and beyond.

I give it an 8/10. Could have been 9/10 if they animated the rest of Rohan manga.

Initially, I had my doubts when I saw the surprisingly low score for the OVAs and the slightly different looking artstyle but when I watched it for myself, I can definitely say that it was a great watch that made me like it as much as the main Part 4 episodes.

I think that the artstyle actually looked more traditional like it was straight out of the manga and the quality consistently looked great throughout the episode. The unsettling build-up of JoJo's signature menacing atmosphere was very well done here with the key feature being smallest details and gestures of etiquette being thre difference between life and death.

It's surprising that the penguin kid himself wasn't a stand since he looks really creepy but it was quite a shock knowing that the scary-ass mountain gods themselves were responsible for everything that's happened to them. Good thing Rohan was cunning enough to trick the trickster to the amusement of the mountains and get them out of there without any additional confrontation.

That laugh from Inami's straight up bizarre followed by that follow-up by Rohan about buying a whole mountain for some reason. If there's one thing that could've made it better, it would be showing Josuke's face and letting him speak at least one line like Koichi and Okuyasu at the end there~

Well, in Rohan sensei's own OVA, he can't let Josuke, whom he hates, show his face or speak even one line.

This was an amazing episode and was very humorous but very deep at the same time, but I’m a bit confused on how the confessioner knew all about what happened to the man full of greed, and why he’s being cursed now. But besides I loved it.

Not really but it’s kinda pointless. It’s a side story about a side story character. You’ll probably like it but you won’t care much about it, there’s no real narrative like a season of JoJo.

Improbable tasks where the outcome can depend on so many variables is classic Araki.

Damn, a body double, this was quite the twist.

Nice to see Yukako and Okayasu show up.
