| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- THe new opening was good. The fight was more longer in the manga. We don't see the death of Straigh. Santana Awakenen in the next episode. So Great for the next episode. Epic moment will come in the episode 12. |

| http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19581223 The new opening is jazzy, has a Lupin feel to it and is just as good as the first one. The style of the OP was amazing as well. Great episode so once again. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Its cool. |

| I didn't watch the episode yet, but regarding the op: I like the first opening more, tho |

| Are they actually referring to the Nazi's as Nazis are they just referring to them as German soldiers or something? |

| This Jojo has way much more potential compare to the last Jojo.This Jojo can read people's mind and movement to come out the best solution in the instant to defeat the opponent . What a great street smart guy. |
| Oh! my god!!! The new opening is really sexy and arousing...Lisa Lisa is setting my loins on fire. |
| Wow, good God just watched the raws. This week's JoJo was easily the best directed episode so far. The improvement over the first few episodes in said department was just crazy. Lots of good cinematography (really great close ups, camera angles and split screens (especially during the face-off between Straights and Joseph over the bridge)) that amplified the most exciting and tense moments, and a consistent animation flow with in-between sequences filling in the manga's panel gaps (which used to be an annoying issue before). This possibly has to do with the smaller number of chapters each episode is now covering since there's no need for David to rush through them anymore, but I genuinely do believe that they are getting better and better with each passing week. Even the art directing (which was good since the very first episode) seemed to be more refined this time with a number of interesting artistic choices. Also, is it me or did this episode receive a bigger budget? This would partially explain the smoother animation and why everything looked so visually impressive. The new opening, albeit not as catchy and testosterone filled as the previous one, is really fluidly animated and well composed. So many colors, artistic effects and frames. The silhouettes looked especially fabulous, and even the CGI looked nice and not as choppy as in the first opening. The song itself is pretty good and together with the animation it reminds me of James Bond, though Sono Chi no Sadame still remains the best. Lisa Lisa was simply glamorous. No less important, I really digged Stroheim's VA. His deeper voice tone kind of reminds me of Wakamato and the parts where he goes "NAZI SCIENCEEE THE BEST IN THE WORLD" are exactly what I imagined would sound like. Sugita's Joseph, once again, was great. Can't wait to see him smartly cross-dressing as a woman next week. |

| I love the new opening, I love it very much and no one can rivalize Joseph when it comes to wittiness. |
| The OP animation is so BRIGHT and SPARKLY, I almost went blind. Also, I like the way they handled "Your next line is going to be..." scene. |
fluffybunnyboy said: Oh my god. The opening looks gorgeous. Those colors, those poses. I absolutely love it. The song isn't something I've expected (I was thinking of a more hard rock type of music) but the jazzy music just fits the opening and gives it a retro feel. The episode itself was great too. I love Stroheim's VA. |

| Man, that OP really got me in the mood. Another fabulous episode. I agree it seems the budget for this episode felt bigger. |
 |
| Straigh vampire version is really weak without the freezing armor like Dio.. |
| Awesome episode,every main characters must like Joseph. |
 |
| Huh, I just realized that the OP has a blink and you'll miss moment that references Part 3. |
Katakis said: So once again we learn why Joseph is the best JoJo. Bring grenades to a vampire fight! I like Jotaro more maybe because of that trenchcoat. lol Another good episode. Can't wait for next week. Like i said before if your a male and dont like this show your not a man. |
Nilvius said: Huh, I just realized that the OP has a blink and you'll miss moment that references Part 3. The cover of the "Bloody Stream" single also features Joseph wearing Josuke's coat and Jolyne's pants. |
MorningGlory said: This Jojo has way much more potential compare to the last Jojo.This Jojo can read people's mind and movement to come out the best solution in the instant to defeat the opponent . What a great street smart guy. He does not read people's minds. He uses a magic trick called 'cold reading' where he leads people on to say what he wants them to say. I can say, something and as you are saying it I can direct you to say the same thing I am saying. It is a nifty magic trick. Remember, Joesph is a street magician. These skills will come in handy later. |

| The new OP was pretty good, kind of reminded me of something from Big O or Cowboy Bebop for some reason even if the genres aren't the same. Those and Lupin actually came to mind. Jojo vs Straits finished this week with a decent battle on a bridge. Man Jojo was boss with the grenade trickery, I bust a gut when Straits blew into smitherens X D. He's on the side of good like Jojo but has the charm and cunning from Dio. When Straits shot the eye liquid and Jojo deflected it back with tiny glass cups, that was awesome. Stroheim's introduction was as crazy as I'd thought it'd be. Making that poor latina woman lick his face, despicable. I knew he was going to do that fakeout at the end with the villagers, that boy is probably traumatized for life now knowing he killed everyone with his courage. |
MorningGlory said: Straigh vampire version is really weak without the freezing armor like Dio.. Each vampire is different in Jojo. They may have different power and similar power. He was weak because he was also a hamon user. Moreover, he kills himself with hamon. He was not trying to kill Joseph(not after). He would probably use another power. We will agree that he was probably best fighter. |
Rekien said: MorningGlory said: Straigh vampire version is really weak without the freezing armor like Dio.. he didnt had the time to explore his powers, but he was strong too, he just lost because he was weak from the 'granade trap' Joseph made for...and he knew the ripple, and the danger that represented for him, if was Jonathan fighting him, he woul probably lose, and if Joseph was the one fighting Dio he would win it faster, since he is waaay smarter than Jonathan,and would've tough in a batter way of using the fire against Dio. If we talk about Joseph before his training, they would not have been able to defeat Dio version vampire and even if Straigh had other power. Moreover, the source of power may come as a result of how you make victim. Straight was not evil at this point. If he wanted to be less weak, he could kill victims |
fluffybunnyboy said: I had to watch it twice and even then had to think about it a while to actually get it. I don't think anyone who hasn't read the manga will be spoilt too much. You have to be REALLY paying attention to the details to notice this. |
| Can someone tell me if this week's nutbladder release had some missing lines? I've watched some of their episodes and always had missing lines :/ |
| Another good choice, Bloody Stream is awesome and fits Part 2 perfectly, Cars looks really badass in it. The episode was good too, the battle with Straits was very well done and it's nice to see Joseph's tricks animated. Fighting vampires with grenades ~ Next week: tequila and cross-dressing. |
| I like the new opening just as I liked the first one. Great episode but I hope they start to use less censorship. But I'm european so I know how the word Nazi is still banned in some countries. |

| Where in the world Joseph gets his weaponry?! I totally dig the new op very sexy. Holy why did they wait so long to animate that manga!!!! |
MaxCrazy7 said: Where in the world Joseph gets his weaponry?! I totally dig the new op very sexy. Holy why did they wait so long to animate that manga!!!! Araki has long refused requests from a lot studio. He must accepted because it was the 25th anniversary of Jojo. There was for the 20th anniversary a movie for Phantom Blood, but impossible to find ( just 15 minutes on youtube) because Araki don't like how the movie was make. http://myanimelist.net/anime/3603/JoJos_Bizarre_Adventure:_Phantom_Blood |

| Joesph Joestar is pretty damn cool. Expecially with how he predicts what people will say nxt. |
 |
| After looking closer at the opening, wow, they really chose the best thing to spoil. It would be one thing if it happened early on, but this way it's pretty bad. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Joseph has a magic tommy gun, i feel like people forgot that just cause of his box of mystic grenades. |

Shaja said: Joseph has a magic tommy gun, i feel like people forgot that just cause of his box of mystic grenades. Or they just don't care, because ridiculous things kind of come with the territory. It's got Bizarre in the title for a reason. Pretty good episode. Joseph is so cool. |

| I didn't seen anything too evident spoilers wise in the opening, don't know where all the complaints came from, unless |
| Despite Joseph being an ass, I'm actually liking him, being the intelligent protagonist that he is. The usual ones don't use their brain cells, after all |

| New OP is cool, though it doesn't boil your blood like the 1st. Also, where did you guys found vines in the OP? I couldn't find it. This series realy needed a decent adaptation. And I hope it's successful enough to make them do the other parts. The world needs to see a well done Stardust Crusaders adaptation. And Sawashiro as Jolyne. |
