DIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Really glad to see a bit more of him this episode. His Stand, "The World" is a certain kind of awesome. Didnt' take long for Nukesaku to appear in his vampiric form either D: Nice to see a bit of Emerald Splash this episode too.

Like one page shy of five. They're definitely not fucking around.

But the episode was amazing. Really weird that they skipped the sidewalk scene but hopefully it's on the BD/DVDs.

It's not even that gory/graphic in the manga, they've already shown far worse on several occasions. So it seems really weird. My best guess is that some weird censorship stipulation would have made the scene a black screen so they opted to just not include it at all, but hopefully it's on the BD/DVDs.

Slightly disappointed they got rid of the sidewalk scene. But it's not that big of a deal.

Is it just me that felt a bit off about Dio's hair? It looked too.. spiky. Still epic as hell though. Really looking forward to the next ep.

Intense episode. Easily 5/5.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

There are a few things I didnt like

First they cut out the car scene which they shouldve shown to us imo
Second DIO's outfit shouldve been completely yellow (kinda like how the colored pages are at batato)
Third is that the anime is too fast paced. For example the scene where DIO calls out his stand Za Warudo during the car chase scene was much more menacing in the OVA than here. I feel they went a bit too quick with that. Sure they showed a flashback of it later again but if they extended that scene with a couple of more seconds, it wouldve been much better.

Dio needs to get close to use his stand? I thought it affects the entire WARUDO, I must say I'm dissapoint.
Judging from next episode's preview I guess Kakyoin will sacrifice himself to reveal ZA WARUDO's secret.

The pacing is a bit too fast for my tastes.

I know they had to do 4.5 chapters at the very minimum, but I kinda feel that I would've liked more if they had saved time by making some of those 2-part fights 1-part instead because really, Dio deserved 5 episodes.

Nothing's gonna change by bitching now though and honestly, the episode itself is still very good so whatever, waiting warmly for DIO's World 2.

Major issue with the colour of Dio's outfit, it should be yellow not orangish yellow.
Skipped the sidewalk scene
Pacing is too fast

It was pretty good but could have been much better.

problems w/ this episode: no 7 up advertisement

really tho all the nitpicks over color lmao. "it should be yellow like the scans from batoto." just because it's a colored scan doesn't really mean too much, i mean the color palettes change all the time in the art colored by Araki himself.

also this

Coluored scans? In video games and from the manga, he has a yellow outfit. Not darkish orange or light orange with some yellow but golden yellow. This was terrible choice in colours by the animators. We could have just had yellow and everyone would have been fine with the iconic yellow suit for Dio Brando.

doesn't change the fact that the art always has different palettes aka the source material not the side material.

Agree, the art was especially for DIO before the car scenes were very lazy.
I don't see how u don't care about the other points though.
DIO isn't that handsome with his other colors and the sidewalk scene is too epic to not have.

ye it was rushed as hell

tho if i had to put down a real nitpick since we're all crying, some of the direction of the voice acting felt really... weak. like in the later half of the episode, it was fine, but while talking with Polnareff, i expected it to sound a bit... stronger

IDK maybe it's because I got used to hearing it from ASB with such a stronger, more forceful tone that it sounded odd for the episode

People have been waiting for a properly adapted Jojo Bizarre adaptation for years and so getting the fucking colour right would be a great way to adapt it. Oh spare me non sense about the colour palettes, no one cares about changing the colours of side characters like Mariah but when to characters like Dio, you get it right. How hard is it to leave the damn colours alone to the bright golden yellow?

I am a cry baby for expecting the studio adapting this show to get the colour right? Attention to detail. People will bitch and complain about missing scenes but if you don't get the character design right then it takes away from the experience.

I just don't get whey they couldn't keep the iconic yellow that everyone expected?

JoJo the anime is notorious for having different colours. We have seen Star Platinum as purple but also as green but the main colour they chose for was purple.

Now if they choose DIO's outfit to be yellow and sometimes throw that orange stuff in there I wouldnt mind. But DIO's outfit is yellow, in everything we have seen from advertisement to video games

I really dislike the colors they chose tbh

Did anyone think some of the art in the beginning was a bit...lazy? Like, maybe I was being a bit too optimistic in thinking that we could have the same level of quality like we did in the first three episodes when Stardust Crusaders began, but considering how iconic and important this arc is, I'd expected a higher standard of quality. Don't tell me they padded out those awful Alessi and Oingo and Hol Horses episodes so we can get a rushed adaptation of the World arc.

Anyways, the episode was still very good. I was upset at first that they cut out the sidewalk scene, but it actually ended up feeling a bit more ominous. Hopefully it will be in the BD/DVD. If it is, I think I might just skip the TV version all together and just wait for the BD to come out.
