do i really need to paste the godawful longshots that are present in ever single episode? the fucking horrendous entire episode that introduced killer queen?the complete lack of color palate swaps present in the other parts? no budget issues... are you blind or just stupid?
and you can make more OP's that are 2d shitfests with garbage songs because they're cheap instead of having custom made CG ones with JoJo related songs to accompany them.
And should I post you a lot of god awful longshots from Part 1, 2 and 3? It's something that always happened and not exclusive to Part 4, it's part of budget management where they cut the budget of a less important episode and blow them on another more important episode.tr1ckst3r said:

And color palette swap is even more apparent in Part 4 so I don't know what you are talking about.
>Implying Part 4 OP songs is not JoJo related.
Lel. Get your fact straight, Crazy Nosy Bizarre Town and the third OP is completely a JoJo OP song.
>2D is cheaper.
Lel. Again, get your fact straight, they could save more money with 3CG OP since they don't need to redraw everything from scratch like with 2D, they could re use the 3D model for all character for each opening songs.

And that's what I've trying to tell you all these time, why do they need to stop when JoJo has been a big hit since Part 1? Why do they need to stop when it's selling like a hotcakes? Why do they adapt more than 100 episode of JoJo already if they didn't make profit out of it?
The answers is simple: Because they made a shit ton of money out of it.
They will keep doing Jojo not because they have a lot of budget, they simply doing it because it made profit. And they will stop doing it not because they don't have any budget left, they will stop doing it when they didn't gain any profit from doing it.
Simple as that tbh.

how do you not understand business
one party will do sales projections, doesn't matter which (lets assume davidpro does)
david will ask for x warner will give y based on this research and projections
david will make projections to warner for SBR and i guarantee they will far exceed the profits SBR could ever make back
they are not making these adaptations to take a loss
and when you have constant motion AND fights you have to animate that shit eats into your profits until there is nothing left

And when were you under the impression that it's David Pro who take care of the budgeting?
The producer is Warner Bros and they are the one who responsible for gathering the fund, there's no such thing as "David Pro didn't have the budget" when the DVD and Bluray is selling like hotcakes.
David Pro only responsible for the animation production, they didn't have to think jack shit about budgeting, all they need to do is to animate it and then got paid, that's it.

It will stop when it didn't sell anymore, not because they don't have any budget left.

end of bloodline and end of universe is a pretty good stopping point for davidpro since SBR would cost whatever multiplicative without gaining anymore audience
there are just no breaks in animation like most of the first volume is literally in motion who the fuck in their right mind who adapt that

There has been at least two JoJo cours every year since its start in 2012, at this rate I don't see why it's unlikely to be adapted.

True. If it's the good kind, I will be pleasantly be surprised. This could become a full-fledged movie series if it works, and if it does, I'll look forward to it.

my only issue with this is the main actor, that's all. There seems to be quite a budget in this one so I'm a little interested even though I never got into this manga
I lol'ed at ppl wanting beefy casts when the characters's body and face traits themselves are too unrealistic for asian people

It's gonna be bizarre... (actually, it's probably gonna be crap). It's a shame they picked part4, but I can understand why...one location and limited cast , even though japanese actors for live action anime movies look always weird to me...all this means limited money, limited special effects, limited everything. Great premises...

Hilarious how they picked Part 4 because it's the cheapest to make, the whole story taking in place in a Japanese town and all. Plus they don't need to hire foreigners for specific roles, they can do all with just Japanese actors.
