| I'm gonna need to get used to Koichi's voice but other than that it's good, I love the bright colors. The intro made my day |

Fadeout4 said: RayAdha said: Stardust Crusaders's art and colors are better than this, intentional? Budget problem? The characters are also less "manly" than previous parts. Anyway, it was such great and thrilling beginning, nice pacing The art and "manliness" are actually intentional. Araki's art style changes dramatically over the course of Jojo. In Part 1 2 and 3, everyone is drawn with these hyper-muscular Fist of the North Star proportions, but that's not the case for Part 4-8. David Pro actually did a pretty good job of animating Part 4's art style. As for the colors, that's really just a matter of opinion. I personally love the bizarre green roads, yellow sky and purple trees, but I can see how other people might not like it. Don't think most of it is just a stylistic choice. Probably a budget limitation. The new art lacks details and shading. Which is something that Araki kept between part 3 and 4. |

LGHyourinmaru said: I really hope the random short guy is there for the first episode only, I dont think I can handle another series with Kaji Yuki's same voice as a main. I like Kaji but he using his worst tone ever for Koichi. But he improves as character, but sadly I don't think his tone of voice will change lel. I miss Paku Romi, worst change from ASB ever. |

| Some-Stuffs version is out! :D http://www.some-stuffs.com/index.php?topic=108.0 |
| Brilliant first episode . I decided not to read Jojo's manga (except for earlier parts of Steel Ball Run) because of the quality of David Pro's adaptations, and so far it has delivered. Btw, does anyone know the song on the radio? |
chewyewan said: TazAnime_Devil said: Good shit, but why the fuck is it so high on the list xD In all honesty, I thought Boku no Hero was going to be like that, but nope, I was wrong! This time, something legitimately good is going up tho ;) Boku no Hero is great though... Lol, I guess it is, but it looks like a regular action show to me. Gives me OPM vibes |
cyclone1993 said: Plus this season doesn't seem to be about Monster of the Week as much. While I enjoyed Part 3, that format sort of limited the story telling. I'm hoping for the best because Jojo is love! Part 4 is even more episodic imo, many of the fights in the early parts of it will not seem to be leading up to anything and it doesn't start to pick up until midway through it. At least in Part 3 you can see how far they're progressing through the world, this one is literally just fighting stand users because they could give them a hint. |
 |
| The artstyle shift sure kinda shook me up a bit, but I guess I'll get used to it. Good start and 5/5 'cause JoJo. David Productions adaptation is stellar, as always. |

| Thats way better than what I expected. I never read the manga, but I feel that part 4 will be even better than older parts |
| OMG EPIC AMAZING !!! |
ChrisMarlowe said: Oh, and Josuke's grandfather's face looks like mask, Josuke's grandfather? You mean George Joestar II ? |
| Anyone knows the song in the beginning? |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
KeifferKeeper said: Ummm why did Jotaro's hat warp after he stopped time? sorry I havent read the manga yet :/ It was hit by Josuke's stand. Jotaro makes a comment that it would have been creepy if that was his face (while remembering that guy Josuke change his nose) http://i.imgur.com/bgfFzk9.png http://i.imgur.com/rDZCtQ0.png |

| Interesting start. Now to decide whether to follow weekly or marathon.... |

RedRoseFring said: Interesting start. Now to decide whether to follow weekly or marathon.... I'd say go for a marathon. I can't even imagine how fun that would be for a 1st timer. KeifferKeeper said: Oh thanks :D (The only reason im not reading the manga is because if i do read the manga and watch the anime, I would know everything and it would make the show VERY predictable which the anime will be boring :/ ) If anything, knowing what will happen next makes my anticipation far greater. |
 |
| OMG YES!!!! I screamed when that ridiculous (also amazing) song started to play in the begginning. Josuke is cooler than I expected, I like him! |
Wait, did you just say that Jojo is shit?  |
gedata said: RedRoseFring said: Interesting start. Now to decide whether to follow weekly or marathon.... I'd say go for a marathon. I can't even imagine how fun that would be for a 1st timer. That's what I did with the manga & it was fun indeed. But imagine following the I'd say marathon at least the first half. |
|
 layout ? or a wall ? |
| I miss you JoJo. Finally I can get back to the groove of anime watching again. :D What a great start I love the artstyle they went with since it matches now but wow I wasn't expecting the OST to be so great. The voices are top notch also. I'm already excited for the 2nd episode now. |
 |
gedata said: RedRoseFring said: Interesting start. Now to decide whether to follow weekly or marathon.... I'd say go for a marathon. I can't even imagine how fun that would be for a 1st timer. Okay. I trust your judgement, so I'll the series finish up then watch it in one go. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| I missed JoJo, this unpredictable and wild series always keeps me entertained! I really like the direction of this season, love murder mysteries~ |
✦✦✦Join the Bionix club✦✦✦ |
| Awww yes, JoJo's back! Jotaro being his great self yet again, even better to some extent. This season can't be easy, the week are gonna feel loooooooooong :D Truly this episode was solid and very enjoyable. |
MrKai23 said: It was amazing. Didn't like how Joseph cheated. Feels out of character. Eventually, Joseph stopped thinking...xD What a goodo starto.. |

| Woo, Jojo is back! Here I didn't even know another season was being produced, what a fabulous surprise. :p The character design change was a surprise, but it looks pretty good and the first episode was entertaining. All-n-all happy to see another Jojo series, aots? lol |
| An amaaaaazing first episode. |
| It's a really good start so far. |
| "I have blue eyes, blonde hair... uhhhh... gatling cannon..." My smile's fanbase... maybe... [remember to put image here so sig look cool]_______  |
hithummah said: very faithful adaptation, to the extent they go for new Jotaro. I wished they at least kept his part.3 design. I like his white outfit better, honestly. ChrisMarlowe said: I only hope there is something else to Josuke's character besides hair joke. Honestly, the hair joke only really comes up a lot at the beginning. I think there's maybe two more times early on that it comes up. After that, it's used much more sporadically. |
| Loved the teasers. Especially that opening. Didn't think I was going to like Josuke's voice, but in the end, it's not bad. I think the ASB voice is better but I'll wait til the end of the season to give a final judgement. I know the one I won't be able to get over is probably Rohan as he was perfect in ASB. Was really hoping they'd get Kamiya for him. Still not sure how I feel about the art style as it feels like it adapted weird. It's mainly the noses imo. Hoping the ending is good. Would be amazing if they got Shine on you Crazy Diamond for the ending of the first half, but at the same time, I won't be surprised if they didn't. |

| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
| I can just tell Josuke's gonna be a better JoJo than Jotaro. And speaking of him, Jotaro in this episode was superior to him in SC. |
 |
| Really liking the setup here. The new setting is great as are the new characters. I hope these interesting elements will persist and this won't devolve into another villain of the week battle shounen. |

vigorousjammer said: Really liking the setup here. The new setting is great as are the new characters. I hope these interesting elements will persist and this won't devolve into another villain of the week battle shounen. I mean, a lot of the story persists through Stand-user-of-the-week type arcs, but it's not as rushed as the 50-day whirlwind trip of SDC. When people call DiU "slice of life" really they mean that there's a bit more downtime, several arcs that focus on other characters (some don't even include Josuke at all), and there's a lot more reoccurring friendly faces, rather than every new Stand user being a one-off villain. It also does have a murder mystery as the overarching plot (I'm guessing the reveal will be the season 1 finale? Seeing as a certain You-Know-Who's first big arc starts at chapter 77), which gets woven into the mystery of how and why Stand users are appearing in Morioh. If the anime follows the pacing of the manga and holds up to its legacy's quality, I think you're in for a cozy but engaging ride. |

| I have a feeling this will be better than SC. |

MrKai23 said: It was amazing. Didn't like how Joseph cheated. Feels out of character. Out of character for Joseph? I don't think so. He's always been a bit flirtatious. Just look at the Mariah episode of Part 3 XD. |
| I really love the style change, but those noses are weird. Especially Kouichi :v Just waiting for Takagi Wataru's epic punk voice now. |

| I can only speak for myself but I am glad they hinted at early. Given that a fair chunk of the part 4 manga takes place between taking care of and the reveal that there is in Morioh the middle part of the part four manga lacks much in the way of tension. If they play their cards just right this bit of anime original foreshadowing will be able to introduce some much needed dramatic tension to this part of the story, as while the main characters will think all of the major problems have been solved the viewers will know there is still a major problem lurking in the background. |

kurapikasass said: Ah, I am so excited! Even more so after watching the episode! I miss the old art style but think this one is better for the characters and I'm just sooo disappointed that I couldn't see Kakyoin drawn with it. I wonder if Jotaro was reminded of him at all considering all the high schoolers were wearing the same school outfit as Noriaki. Anyway, I really like all the new characters already. Can't wait for Fridays again! There's a little flashback scene ;D |

| I feel bad for any of the manga readers who were disappointed. Diamond is Unbreakable is not only my favorite JoJo part, but my favorite manga of all time. I absolutely loved this episode, and would give it a solid 10/10. I cannot wait to see more. I also can't wait to see Okuyasu, my favorite JoJo character in action. I'm excited for some of the more laid back episodes (like when Okuyasu and Josuke go out to eat). |

I don't think I know of that voice actor, but I bet he will do a great job. I was expecting Hiroyuki Yoshino since he voice acts a lot of "punk" type characters. |
