So, what do you think? A lot of people complained about Jotaro's height and Koichi's hair color.
Personally, I did think Jotaro looks a tad too short (the legs, lmao). They fixed it!
And the characters looked a bit scrawny. But all in all, it actually looks pretty good.
Back then when I first saw the key visual, I thought the art style sucked, seeing it animated changed my mind.

The art style looks fine to me. It fits Josuke better compared to the rigid art style. I do agree though that Jotaro looks weird.

I've heard someone say that Jotaro's design there is still concept art and will possibly change... but I have some doubts... I'm hoping they fix the legs and feet though. Seriously.

I'll still love it but I have to admit Crazy Diamond looked far too "adorable" for my taste with those big puppy/googly eyes.

I think Josuke's new voice will grow on me I started to like it pretty instantly although the dorararara isn't as intense/powerful sounding as Wataru's

Actually liking this new artstyle. Fitting, as it was around part 4 that Araki's style started shifting from burly manly man to more androgenous looking fellas.

Ok I can see why people don't like the new design BUT consider this:

1- Araki along Part 4 changes once again his char. design, just a bit, so they probably thought they had to change as well if they wanted to be "faithful" to the original source, true that I expected it differently but it's pretty cool nonetheless, and the intentions were good imho. (maybe the nose thing can make you uneasy but it's not a big deal, I've personally grown to like that sort of thing from Kaiji)

2- DiU is a bit more SoL so once again they probably tried to choose a design fitting for a show more SoL oriented.

Anyway, the trailer is pretty epic and I find the char design quite fitting, along Josuke new VA. If they wanted to hype us fans, they certainly succedeed in it. At least in my case. Oh and thanks to Some Stuffs for the subs because I searched it everywhere and couldn't find it, I know you guys are reading this so thanks again.

The art style is fantastic. It looks like Part 4. If the art looked the same as Part 3, it wouldn't be true to the manga.

So from Part 4 onwards, the author changed how he drew the manga?

...but that IS what Araki draws. Compare this PV to mid-late Part 4 in the manga, it looks the same. Also, I really liked how they made the Stand appear and disappear. They made a really cool diamond effect for Crazy Diamond. And the recall animation makes it feel like the Stand really is a projection of the user's energy.

I'm so hyped!!! I finished reading Part 4 a couple months ago and I'm really looking forward to seeing it animated. The PV looks awesome, I really like the style because I feel like it suits the overall atmosphere of Part 4 really well. It suits Josuke's age. I always liked the the art in the later half of the Part 4 manga for this reason actually- Araki's style change had felt very suitable for the more youthful and laid-back atmosphere that Part 4 had. I'm really liking that the anime seems to have captured this aspect well from what I can tell so far.

I do kinda think it might've been better that they incorporate a bit more of Jotaro's SC design qualities into his DiU design though, because the drastic difference between his appearance in the two anime parts might throw off some viewers at first (particularly non-manga readers that aren't familiar with Araki's style changes). But overall I'm super pleased!

I mean...

The likeness is honestly quite good.

I find the art in the PV to be quite weird. The shading is very important, and they are sacrificing one of the most important aspect of the characters. Now they just look too shiny. If there is one thing that has remained consistent over the series, it is the shading.

Josuke's body looks fine, but his face is quite weird. There is just this "off" feeling about his face. I wish they should stay true to the manga... the PV is quite colorful but bland. Details are thrown away instead...

The shading isn't quite as intense in the manga for Part 4 either. See the image in the post above yours.

I just want to let you know that I actually read all the comments, and have seen the above image. All I see is that the anime designs do not really match the manga designs. Still missing the style that the manga has.

Right! The art is cool & all but I'm dying to hear the OST & the OP song.

The art looks good to me, only Jotaro looks weird because we're used to see him buff but other than that I like it. Josuke's hair is on point, though I wish Koichi was blonde.
