I thought they would fight with Dio and end this anime. This is unexpected to end like this.
Anyways soon enough we'll get to see the fight with Dio next year. :D Best show ever.

It's supposed to be a hand gesture. How did they talk underwater ?

Oh man that was good. Hard to believe half a year went by and I'll miss seeing JoJo every week for now. Putting that aside great ep. I didn't really think this would be a good point to end this but I'm glad they made it seem that the journey is far from over yet. Well see you in 2015, JoJo!

Was liking this anime until around episode 16. Huge fucking let down overall though, and this season finale was garbage. I have no clue why this anime is so fucking padded out. Honestly wish I knew that going in so I could just watch up to episode 3, and just wait for the Dio fight. 1/5


It was not padded out, it is exactly how it was in the manga (plus some filler). And it is not the season finale it is only the first half. I will say the 2nd half is significantly better than the 1st. I admit Stardust Crusaders did not age well.

And if you are going to ignore everything that isn't Dio then you should not even bother with the rest of the series. There is far more memorable things then just the final battle with Dio in Stardust. The egyptian gods do not deserved to be ignored.

What a great fucking episode.

I've still got goosebumps from the Opening with soundeffects.

Jotaro is the only hero guy who I don't mind being OP as fuck he is just too cool.

And for some reason the defeated Stand montage made me tear up.

Also some DIO. I was really hoping we would get some DIO this episode.

Just beautiful and I'm so fucking hyped for the Egypt Arc.

I love you Jojo.


Also I can't wait for D'arby.

Indeed, and it's not like manga readers told people that things would change MONTHS in advance... if you don't even inform yourself and just can't get into episodic stuff, fine. But don't blame the series - despite all its shortcomings that were more than often communicated by the manga readers beforehand - for your inability.

Jan 2015? Why have to wait that long? I thought there is lots of material.

Would be great if next season we got not only Stand users,but also bringing back the vampire.

I didn't even realize this was the last episode until 2/3rds through.
Overall not quite as good as the first 2 parts. Even by the end, I don't like stands as much as the ripple.

How did Kakyoin know what Ponnareff was saying with that complicated hand sign?
> "I can see you pantsu." XD

Nice attempt to seduce the Stand user. Jotaro pulled it off pretty good, though it didn't really work. XD

Good to see Dio again after so long. This guy is fabulous as ever!

Great ending to the 1st season. 9/10. Looking forward to the next one.

Definitely worth the wait and searching of random sites to find a decent quality sub. Great way to end the first half of the series. I don't know how I'll make it until January without my weekly dose of Jojo but knowing that the second half is much better than the first half of SC should help. And we'll finally get to see Dio Brando! He literally walked up a wall all horror movie style lol.

The sound effects in the OP were pretty annoying to be honest, wonder what's the deal with that.


They did that in the last episode of Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency, too.

It's pretty likely that it means there will be an OP change.

I just feel the need to say something here to people complaining, but first, you are not wrong and I understand your problems.

This is how JoJo has (and will) always be. Just fight after fight with the final objective at the end. Season 1 was like this too.

However part 3 is longer then both 1 and 2 combined. Not to mention that they adeed lots of filler aswell, while season 1 was literally cramped with as much manga-content as possible and was moving really fast. That's why it never felt boring.

Secondly the stand battles right now are pretty bad. When people said Araki was experimenting they didn't mean story-wise (story is the same pretty much) but with stands. You won't see stands shrinking again, or ''stand energy'' mentioned. Or the worst, the likes of the Cameo fight where Avdol says ''lol I was just guarding this area so my stand was weaker (wtf??) and one-shotting the enemy. Also the battles get more creative from now on, there's a reason why the old OVA started right here where this ended. And the battles and characters are pretty much the main point of JoJo.

And third, the main villain is always engaged in the story. This was true for part 1 and 2, and pretty much for all latter parts. Part 3 is the only one where there is a big bad endboss waiting at the end of a journey. I think this gives it a certain charm but I see why people don't like it. It would probably be better for Dio trying to do something than every week a new random enemy appearing.

So, once again I can see why people don't like it and part 3 is the worst one for me. But it's still the same thing, only different.

JoJo gang criteria to save an opponent : is she a chick? No? Well, fuck her.

Didn't she knew that diamond is incredibly hard, but also greatly fragile. It doesn't make a good protection...

While I'm still enjoying it, one of the weaker parts for me so far. (I've skipped ahead in the manga and read part 4, and halfway through part 5 now, but decided to watch this one unfold as is since it won't take a few years to get on TV).

Part 4 was fantastic, fav so far by far. Then I just loved Joseph as a MC. Part one was good, but not all that great. That said, it was only 9 episodes, so yea. Part 5 is pretty fabulous so far.

Of the 3 "stand" seasons so far that I've been dealing with, 3 is the weakest in my opinion. (Will be hard to top 4, but I'm gonna read them all once I'm done with part 5)

Not as good as the first season IMHO, but still fabulously entertaining stuff. Jojo just looks and feels different than any other series out there. On that basis alone it's must watch stuff. I'm looking greatly forward to seeing the Egypt arc come january.

In future, if you could be a good sport and play the part of veteran elitist properly, educate the new fans on why their comments are crazy. Shit posting snarky remarks doesn't really help them 'see the light'. Where's the JoJo ardour gone? ;o

Anyway, looking forward to the next installment, I hope this journey was worth it :D

With the defeat of High Priestess, Jotaro and the gang are now hot on Dio's heels. With only two Major Arcana cards left, it appears that their long journey is reaching its final stretch.

However questions remain: just where in Egypt is Dio? Who are those 9 cloaked figures? Will it be smooth sailing for the Crusaders from here onwards (*coughunlikelycough*)? We'll just have to wait till next year to find out!

"Holy shit!!" "Oh, my God!!"

I wanted to see Rose's face. I'm sure she looked hideous just like her Stand, but with busted teeth.

I don't know what Grandma Suzie was talking about. Jotaro ALWAYS sounds serious.

The wait until January 2015 is going to kill me.

What a great way to end the first part of the journey. Kakyoin and Polnareff's exchange was so dumb but it made me laugh and cheered me up considerably. I've come to really like our merry band (even Jotaro, the punk!) and I'm seriously looking forward the crazy stuff that I expect will happen in Egypt.

I guess sound effects in the OP for the last part of the series is going to be a thing now?

It's always been a thing. When they show an opening for the last time, they add sound effects. They did that for Part 1 and 2, so it makes sense that they do it for Part 3 too.

EDIT: I forgot, the last part 1 episode only had sound effects in the blu-ray version, but the aired version of Part 2 had sound effects too.

Good thing they didn't show her face. I know we all wanted to confirm that she was a beauty.
Well, now we have to endure till 2015.

Part 3 really isn't. There's some enjoyable parts in the second half, but most people think of Part 3 as being middle of the series to one of the weaker parts. Most people consider 7, 4 and 2 to be the best of Jojo (excluding Part 8, as it's still being published).

The end to that fight was pretty disappointingly simple, considering how versatile that High Priestess was. Also, I didn't get the hand-gestures "I can't see your underwear" reference.

Is this really the best part of Jojo? I don't think it's bad but very far from a masterpiece that everyone hyped. It's an okay action series without too much bullshit and very manly for sure, also some clever fights but that's about it. Well I hope the 2nd season would be better although I read that it'd be just as episodic.
