No more high school scenes, please! Jotaru looks WAY TOO out of place to be passed off as a high school student.

Compared to the 2012 version the pace and setting sure totally changed which is sad as it was really epic! Still some proper development with the story!

Great episode. Now they're off to Egypt and the hunt for Dio can begin!

Pretty solid episode, Jotaro looks really weird next to regular school goers and I really wish they kept in him telling the girls to shut up because they're annoying because they were being annoying, but otherwise I think the changes to the fight worked. The forest setting worked well with Hierophant's snake like attacks and appearance, and I think the schoolgirl going to help Jotaro and getting manipulated worked too, since it gives more relevance to that bit of the story. And also, I know it's just because they don't have the episode count to cover every fight but I'm glad they're going straight to private jet since that makes way more sense.

The only change I'm not sure I cared for was the Phantom Blood flashbacks, but whatever.

The ONLY thing I’m wondering about…

BOTH Joseph and Avdol only SUSPECT that DIO is still alive. That’s what they say after the flashback/story, after all. They were almost treating it as a mystery, at first. But then Avdol said he actually SAW/ENCOUNTERED DIO in Egypt. If Avdol actually clashed with DIO before, then why did Joesph say we ”THINK” DIO is alive.

Additionally, the subbed version I was watching (gogoanime) made the flashback/story pretty confusing.

“I ship was recovered in the Atlantic ocean. Jonathan was confirmed to have died. “It” was open however, and we think DIO may have awoken from his slumber.” … I mean is that hard to follow or what?

Any who, this anime is alright so far. I’m only watching it because of the hype it gets. From what I understand, this first series of OVA’s from 1993-2000 (before the modern 2010’s series) is a lot more serious than the JoJo everyone knows. And a note on the animation — this almost looks like a lot of retro American cartoons. The later JoJo episodes do have some anime-esque qualities, but this older version of JoJo style seems reminds me of comic book illustrations… not that any of that is relevant but it’s an observation nevertheless.

That's the point, though. Lol, I was secretly hoping for more high school scenes. The fact that he looks "out of place" is supposed to be funny and -- "bizarre" -- I thought.

DIO.
Holy is kneeling.
JoJo. Jotaro getting the bitches.
That student.
Jotaro gets cut.
She tried to stab Jotaro? She's possessed?
Kakyoin Noriaki. Hierophant Green.
He pledged loyalty to DIO?
In the face!
In her mouth.
Dat kiss!


I love the music. It's crazy how Joseph, Avdol, and Kakyoin seiyuu have all passed away (DIO's as well). Jotaro's seiyuu is the only one currently alive. It gives a different vibe to this episode. All these legends... just gone.
