The greatest news is the ending by YES, best progressive rock band ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjpCV6ilJKw Woooohoooou!o/ The only thing I hated in this first episode was Danny getting burned alive. I hate it when animals are treated this way, even if it's fictional. |

| This was much better than expected, I really loved this. But damn I hate Dio for burning the dog alive, seriously... |

| The close-ups and art style were awesome as hell. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| That was awesome. As a fan of Jojo, this episode seemed like a dream come true - finally, a great adaption of Phantom Blood is upon us, and now I can't wait to see part 2 (Battle Tendancy). |

| Damn Dio, you're absolutely heartless. Poor JoJo ;_; I always wanted to know what this was about so after watching this episode, I can say I'm very excited to watch more. Very stylish, very interesting. |

| Have to say despite Phantom Blood being my least favourite in the Jojo series, this episode was brilliant; the voices were perfect, the art style and use of colour are just like Araki's (never was a fan of the over muscled style seen in the earlier parts) and it was over the top without being silly. The only criticism is that the pace might have been a bit fast paced for those unfamiliar with the series and some of the manga sound effect moments were a bit excessive. I can't wait till they move onto Battle Tendency and when the Stands are introduced \m/. Also: Part 4>Part 7>Part 6>Part 5>Part 3>Part 2>Part 1 I'd include Part 8 on my list, but its too early to give it a definite spot. |

| Just watched first episode. Been wanting to get into the series for a while, BUT the shipping is terrible on the first/second volume of the (English) manga (Yes I'm aware it not the first part). Though back on topic this was an awesome episode!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew Dio was meant to be an excellent villain but never expected just how much of a bastard he be... |

No I understood you fine it's just that your way of thinking is kinda retarded...(no offense) How am I gonna enjoy it more if I'm spoiled? There's no element of surprise. It's definitely more enjoyable not knowing anything. And you want me to know EVERYTHING. "because it is so close to it"? That's all the more reason why I should stick with only one medium -_- lol dummy. |

YorozuyaGinSan said: I came all over my screen last night from watching this... Love the animation, obviously love the characters because it's Jojo's and rlly hope they'll follow up with Battle Tendancy cuz this episode covered all the way up to the end of chapter 5 and there are only 44 chapters in Phantom Blood series. AnimeFan500 said: Should I watch the older 2000 series before I watch the new one 2012 version??? Are they the same? Thanks in advance. No the older one covers "Stardust Crusaders" which is part 3 of JoJo's Bizarre adventure where this is part 1. Post-Moe said: The character designs make my eyes bleed and the manly-ness is almost irritating, but besides those things it was pretty good. Dio is one sick bastard. I can already tell you'd hate Hokuto no Ken? It's manliness is off the charts in comparison. Oh yeah and the designs are a bit different from the original manga ones, just a little more modern looking. Thank you : ) |
Nilvius said: AnimeFan500 said: This 2012 one is the first part. That old OVAs is in fact the much, much later story. So, no.Should I watch the older 2000 series before I watch the new one 2012 version??? Are they the same? Thanks in advance. Besides, that old OVA cut out a lot of stuffs. Ah I see Thanks for the reply back : ) |
| so if I watch this and then watch the others after this is over, I'll be able to follow it right? |
| This was great. It had a very similar feel to the manga, the art is great and it really had a nice overall old school-vibe to it. The pacing was real fast but didn't make it hard to follow and it's a shonen show after all so no complaints from me there. I, for one, really like the first arc. Sure the story is not that good, but I like how JoJo is such a good person and Dio so completely evil. It's a total cliche, but very well done in the manga, and the anime doesn't seem to be any worse from what I've seen, which in my experience is pretty rare. Definitely following this, hope they animate up to the third arc : > |
| Is the anime only going to be 26 eps in total or will there be more after the initial 26? I was under the impression that the anime was going to cover all arcs. |
| i am not sure myself. despite some people saying it would only be 26 episodes they never mentioned their sources so i have to wonder if they are just guessing |

Seriously, if there is only one single thing in the entire world you don't have to be concerned about, it's this :D |
Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: How can this be the worst part of the series? This episode alone I enough for me to rate this a 10/10, but I'll wait until halfway to do so. DIO IS A FUCKING ASS! MANLY(5)/5 It's not the worst, it's the "least amazing". |

Painaholic said: kaimax said: rishardew said: Jojo is... depressing to watch, I hope he grows some balls in the next episodes Don't worry he'll grow hundreds of them. ^ THIS but only 26 episodes for the Anime? WHY T____T I'd imagine that's only for, like, parts 1 & 2; they've gotta tread the waters here, to see how successful this is -- if it's a runaway hit, we can expect the rest of the parts to be adapted (and with a nice budget, if it does well enough). But yeah, at the current rate they're going, As Vorlianis said, they probably wouldn't have made that promotional teaser for ALL the parts unless they had the intention of adapting the whole thing. |
Dangerr said: Not really. That teaser was VERY vague in that it was released along with the whole games/ JJBA 25th anniversary etc.As Vorlianis said, they probably wouldn't have made that promotional teaser for ALL the parts unless they had the intention of adapting the whole thing. For all you know, that teaser MAY not be specifically advertising the anime but more about the manga in general, just that they are 'also' adapting an anime. On the whole, yeah, I think they're testing the waters with parts 1 and 2. |

On the whole, yeah, I think they're testing the waters with parts 1 and 2. Well, I agree; there's no guarantee for anything past 1 & 2. However, I'm sure they have a game plan for more afterwards if, again, it's a success -- it'd be odd to just do parts 1 & 2, and simply leave it there (though I suppose you could have these two to simply serve as a prequel to the part 3 OVAs, from an animation standpoint, though that's a stretch, to say the least). As for what we can expect, the hardcore Jojo fanbase in Japan is rabid, but outside of manga, it's hard to say how well this'll perform; I'm certain the dedicated fanbase will be a substantial factor, though. |

| I can't say i enjoyed this.... was laughing through most of the ridiculousness and the fight. I got used to the art style (sort of), but Dio is such an ass, which i understand is the point, but watching JoJo was painful as well. This was good up until Dio started messing with Jojo, then Jojo and Dio got on my nerves, along with Dio's groupies. |
| The only anime I'm following this season and it does not disappoint so far. Though, having seen the first anime, I find this episode extremely depressing. Still good, though. |
