Sad they changed the cast from ASB but I'm glad they decided to stick with the softer artstyle mid part 4 has.

Please god help me quit this website.

Such great community that doesn't even know how demographics work, AND gives """detailed"""" reviews after first episodes.

I am really sad about some of the VA changes, especially Romi's Koichi was great in ASB. Glad they got rid of Hiroshi kamiya, though.

I will hold off in regards to the visuals until I saw the first real trailer.
Jojolion anime when?

Jotaro looks weird, the rest is fine. It must be because DP have used the artstyle of Araki, who changed after the Part 3.

looks like they aren't going for the 1:1 manga artstyle like they did with part 3, but instead doing their own thing artstyle wise, similar to 2012.
I like it.

I'm sure it will look better in motion though

I have the same feeling , I want to see how it may look though.

People will complain about the MOTW and the fact that kira is not in the first half.
Heh but fuck that part 4 will be awesome.
Given the right situation , the right story , anyone can be shaped into Snake.

Yeah I don't think Kira will be in the first-half either, since shows up around chapter 70-ish.

Visual looks good, the new art is reminiscent of Battle Tendency for me.

Hopefully we get an actual PV soon.

Didn't the preview image of Jotaro for SC look kinda odd? But then we got the trailer and it looked right again? Will be the same here, I'm sure.

i dont mind most of the changes but im heartbroken over rohan getting recast. i guess this means every other role is up in the air too. i cant imagine a kira that doesnt sound like rikiya koyama.

hell probably be in the first half, but not til the season finale. "yoshikage kira wants a quiet life" is right around the halfway point of the manga and itd make a good stopping point for the split-cour break.

Really disappointed they changed Rohan and Koichi's voices but those should be fine. I don't mind changes but am a bit worried about Josuke's voice being way different. As long as they keep Kira's VA we gucci.

Yeah I honestly have to agree, they might actually end the first season with Kira's debut.

I think that was the Rohan Kishibe's Adventure arc, right at the end of it.

I'm really not liking the Visuals so far Jotaro's character design doesn't look nearly as good as Stardust Crusaders. and what's up with Koichi hair why gray? Ugh

Not really liking it, but whatever, it's just a primium commercial picture. I'm gonna wait for a trailer or something.

Anyway, I'm not gonna be surprised if they make it more "toonish" since the Part is overall more SoL.

At this point I'm pretty confident with having complete faith in David Pro not fucking anything up, so although that does look like fanart (subpar at that), I'm not really worried about anything.

Here's a higher-quality version of the image (and that ol' ACTUAL fanart of a supposed DiU anime - for the sake of juxtaposition):



(pretty large - so I've hidden it)

Concerning the official promotional artwork - I actually really like this softer look. It also reminds me of a number of certain artists' styles which I'm pretty fond of.

The actual fanart looks more legit than the key visual, lmao.

While all of the characters look a bit "off", I especially feel bad for Koichi, who has gray hair now. Reminds me of when they gave Joseph brown hair instead of purple. Those sorts of bland hair color choices don't seem like a good fit for Jojo, to me.

Yeah - gonna look weird when a certain reference pops up...unless his hair changes into the right color ! Also, yeah - I noticed that it was Jonathan who had brown hair. But DP sorta switched that up, it seems.

this is a new character design and it looks far better than the rugged days of SC.

im surprised ppl are calling this fan art but then i realize these ppl are only experienced with tumblr and they barely watch enough anime to enjoy more than 1 art style.

SC's style is way better, especially in the manga.

Part 4 gets downright fugly at times. Definitely Araki's most awkward period.

True.

I mean while a lot of Part 4's artwork is still quite gorgeous and stunning...


Also, IIRC Araki did a lot less of the forced perspective angles in the early half of DiU for some reason. I remember that being a sore sticking point for me.

Correct me if I'm wrong on that one.
