MooseZoom said: I'm trying to wait for the high quality subs by the Jojo fan community, but it's so hard D: I just really wanna watch this right away! GG Subs are pretty good (if you're an 19th century British gentleman). Also, right now a group released subs under the name of [DUWANG] - you should know what to expect from that when you read Part 4. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
MooseZoom said: DUWANG style subs? That might be interesting lol  |
| Finally...something to wait for every week. I do hope they animate the later violent scenes with Justice and GAR. Though not the highest production stuff, they really made it feel very unique and true to the manga. The color scheme also makes it very vibrant and pretty to look at. The manga effects and the pacing is also great. From watching this episode...it feels like it'll get to Battle Tendency in no time! It's about time JJBA got a faithful anime adaptation. |
| 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. |

| Wow, i didn't expect it to be that good. |
 |
| Should I watch the older 2000 series before I watch the new one 2012 version??? Are they the same? Thanks in advance. |
| 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.

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. |

| I've never read the Jojo manga, but even though people say this isn't the best part, I thought this first episode was great besides the fast pace. I guess remakes of old manga just naturally get a fast-paced first episode (like HxH 2011). Animation is great, especially the fight scenes, and the plot seems interesting enough (I've hardly ever seen anime where I absolutely hate the antagonist (in a good way) from the get-go). If this part continues to be at this quality, I'll hope to be blown away by the further parts if they get animated. |

| hell yeah |
| Wow.. I was not expecting this to be sooo good.. can't wait for the next episode!!! DIIOOOOOO!!!! haha. |
| Loving how colourful it is, but the character design just doesn't sit very well with me. Especially the detail on the noses, that irritates me the most. Overall I quite enjoyed the episode, though I'm glad I read the manga first. |
| lol, I think I'll enjoy watching this. Poor Danny though. RIP |
 |
| Glorious! I love the art! It's not that art every fucking anime uses now these days (art like Sao, Another, K etc.) which I don't like - holding my breath for next episode. |
 |
| Great anime, damn Dio is so damn evil. It felt good seeing Danny beating him up. I have a feeling I'm going to end up liking Dio a lot even though he's a heartless monster. |
 |
| Yes, the epic universe of Jojo pretty much originated from this. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
grandy_UiD said: to be fair it might be because danny was a dog that they cut it. Since it was BOTH brutal and short i can forgive it this time but hopefully they will be real carful about what to cut and what to leave intIf they already cut out Danny burning I kinda don't want to know what they'll do later when things get brutal...even Speedwagon would be afraid of them messing this up. Apart from that it was decent. Strange coloring definitely fits the JoJo style imo. Characters could be a bit bulkier. Kinda rushed though, this episode covered two third of the first volume. At this rate they'll be done with part one by episode ten or so xD But I think they'll take in a bit slower in the future, probably just wanted to get over with the childhood part. |

fertygo said: what does "2 cour" mean?kashim said: No, its just 2 cour at most.. let just get to the part which matter, Battle Tendency.Shame that they'll be rushing through the first arc. After all, this is THE origin of Jojo series. It deserves more attention than just "let's get it over with" FYI they already listed the DVD gonna out in 9 vol, 26 episode total.. from that n this episode pace its safe to assume they gonna cover til BT's ending. |

| Aw man.... That dog.... I feel so bad for it. |

| Awesome first episode. |
| I didn't know anything about Jojo before. I watched the first episode, wth was that XD It was so over the top cheezy that it became amazingly entertaining. I loved it! Dio is such an a-hole!! It really feels like David Production knows what they're doing here. It's the fine line between knowing this is ridiculous and taking itself seriously! DIOOOO! |
| Never read the manga or knew too much about this series. Always thought it was neat looking, but too confusing. Little did I know, this is the most god damned fabulous thing I've ever laid my eyes on. Super excited for this now. |
| Why did I laugh when Dio kicked the dog? |
| Really cool 1st ep, it´s a shame that they censoring some of the most violent scenes that makes the JoJo´s manga so awesome. Besides that it was a great adaptation of the 1st 5 chapters. |
 |
| Awesome episode right there. I am glad I didn't completely ignore it because of the name of the anime. Dio is such a jerk. It was exciting watching Johnny beat him up. 5/5! |

 DWANG's LOGIC |
| Very good adaptation. The greatest news is the ending by YES, best progressive rock band ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjpCV6ilJKw Woooohoooou!\o/ |
| I just watched the episode. Really good I have to say. Also I haven't read the manga nor I have wathed the previous OVA's.Should I watch them first before watching this? |
aria93 said: I just watched the episode. Really good I have to say. Also I haven't read the manga nor I have wathed the previous OVA's.Should I watch them first before watching this? No, the ova is on the part 3 and a lot of thing is not in the ova. Read the manga and watch the anime is the best way. |
| Dio is a bloody tosser. |
