Synopsis: In a Japanese jail sits 17-year-old Jotaro Kujo: punk, fighter, delinquent…and possessed by a force beyond his control! Around the world, evil spirits are awakening: “Stands,” monstrous invisible creatures which give their bearers incredible powers. To save his mother’s life, Jotaro must tame his dark forces and travel around the world to Cairo, Egypt, where a hundred-year-old vampire thirsts for the blood of his family. But the road is long, and an army of evil Stand Users wait to kill JoJo and his friends…

I don't even care, AOTS, right now
QUOTE (Kid-Wolf @ Apr 05 2014, 01:32 AM)Although I have to say seeing the second story arc's JoJo still around to bring up the family curse of Dio Brando only means that Dio will always haunt the Joestar line. Although I'm kind of waiting to see if a Zepeli character will show up in this Chapter and die horribly like in the prior chapters.from what I remember in the old OVAs there isn't any new Zeppeli so i suppose Caesar's bloodline died with him, though I have seen pics of another Zeppeli as alternate timeline in the 7th or 8th part... back to ep.2 i'm watching again each OVA along every TV episode to check the differences I can find, no wonder why that OVA studio butchered its Phantom Blood film fail too due time limitation

 

[Ryu]

well not much to say about changes in the previous TV episodes besides Tower, or how and where they meet Polnareff in OVAs but a lot will change from ep.6...
QUOTE (Ausdoerrt @ Feb 18 2013, 03:08 PM)rejoice! The OP song got SLAM-fied. Epic!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7hiF7fXhLgthe Slamania is back xD not only in JoJo's new OP but ED from 80's Bangles
or maybe you prefer 70's Roundabout slamfied, if not then with the S1 style

 

[Kid-Wolf]

Ryu-san I suggest that you save your sanity and try not to recall the OVA since from what it sounds like the OVA episodes were a rush job back then. So if anything just read the Stardust Crusaders Story Arc manga instead.

Still I got to admit that I am enjoying this MAName here. Besides if you ask me the ED here kind o fits the whole setup since htey need to head to Egypt to get to Dio anyways.

 

[Ryu]

''Yare yare daze'' :/ j/k wolfie-san thanks for the advice because this time there wasn't need to compare, still this ep'6 reminded me to Phantom blood with Jojo fighting underwater and his shipwreck... also a girl with more guts than Poco ;p about this main cast only Joseph changes his outfit since Battle Tendency, I get why gore or nudity are censored but Jotaro smoking?? because he's a minor?

 

[SirGray]

Wait wait wait, how in the hell did yellow temperance use hierophant green to stop that thief? Am I the only one confused by this?

 

[Ryu]

I was surprised too so I suppose Yellow Temperance not only can mimic human beings but Stands too, though if you noticed he didn't do any Hierophant Green special because only Kakyoin can... so based on that 'logic' he must eat tons of lifeforms to shapeshift in a Strength ship (lol), as the OVAs skip a lot from that arc to ep.10 I was sad again when Avdul died in this remake at his dear India

This is not a spoiler just confirmation, since i dont know myself but i have seen the same pics.

Aparently there are Zeppeli in the later arcs probably around stone ocean.

If you remember, Cessar's father had about 12 children, maybe its a descendant of one of Cessar's brothers or sisters. I cant remember if his brothers were adopted but family is still family lol (i hate that line the most for personal reasons but thats that)

Kimi no kyoku wo morau!

Lets hope the animation doesnt end with stardust crusaders

If anyone sees this post soon, go to CR and check out the dub of JoJo. Episode 1-3 are only up till 12am PST. It is all around amazing. I haven't watched any of Stardust till right now and am just loving it. I may continue with it subbed, but starting out with this dub makes me want to wait until the whole thing is released that way. The voice of Joseph is sooooooooo good (same voice as Batou from GitS:SAC).

Space dandy's too xD back to ep.15 for me is the funniest so far, it's sad many arcs are mixed in the Justice OVAs

Ya I just didn't think that guy had the time to know what Hierophant looked like exactly and sneak in undetected. You'd think they would have noticed. Still seems strange lol.

Battle Tendency OP x Space Dandy, the latest preview Death reminds me this

 

[JCDRANZER]

I just finished episode 20, I sort of know who Lisa Lisa really is, which is being Joseph's mother but damn she looks way too young to be a 50 year old (apparently that's her official age in Part 2) and the weird thing is that Joseph was checking her out and peeking when she took a bath earlier in the series.

Only 6 more episodes left before I start watching Part 3. I hope they plan to animate Parts 4 to 7 and then Part 8 when the manga counterpart of it finishes.

Jojo is soooooo damn good and hilarious.

EDIT #1:

I went to the gym after watching episode 24 of Jojo 2012....that took about 4 hours out of my day and then I came back home to watch some Louie and watch the dreadful True Blood finale, Thank God that it is finally OVER!

The last 2 episodes for Part 2 were just fabulously CRAZY like the episodes before. This show was outstanding, it was funny, continuously packed a punch, great music for both Parts 1 and 2, hot-blooded pace, it made me like a proud Nazi SS soldier.....this show was incredible.

My score for Part 1 and Part 2 is an ECSTATIC 10/10.

I'll start Stardust Crusaders after I catch up on a few other shows.

 

[Kid-Wolf]

This MAName is so MANly that I really don't know how to even describe what I have seen so far. I mean with the way things are going with the Judgment episodes here I think Polnarliff is going to face his worst fears of not only dealing with his sister but Avdol as well.

just found a pic paroding Noa ala Jojo, for me RWs' Crazy Train arc got better

 

[JCDRANZER]

Stardust Crusaders Part 1 is finished and it has been a joyful ride. Overall, this season has been great but I don't think it was as good as season 1, Part 2 especially with the adventure of a young Joseph Joestar, he was the funniest Jojo out of the 3 shown so far and currently my favourite of the JoJo's....his mum was so hawt that he even checked her out.

Stardust Crusaders Season 1 gets a 9/10. They made Milder brown instead of white.....sucks she lost all her teeth, she was a babe.

Anyways, January 2015 and the Egypt Arc will begin, which Necro mentioned in the Shiritori Arc and Stark at MAL.

I'm hoping the new season will touch on Part 4 of the series.....I'm hoping all the parts get animated including up to the currently ongoing one at some point.

I'm so glad we only have to wait about 4 months for the new series instead of a year, which was the wait between season 1 and 2.

If it wasn't for characters like Joseph, Avdol, and Polnareff I probably wouldn't like this series as much as I do. Jotaro, while being the new JoJo and a super badass, is just more of the stoic, boring type of character and would be unable to hold the show on his own. It needs the eccentricities of the other characters. Makes it hard to decide if I like Battle Tendency or Stardust Crusaders better, just cause Joseph is such a super fun character to watch.

So now we have to wait for the Egypt Arc to see anything major with DIO directly from here on out now. Honestly I am kind of surprised that they split this up into two parts though. I guess it was just too MANLY for them to give it just 26 episodes to do this one justice I take it.

Well, Part 3 (152 chapters) is almost 50% more than Part 1 and Part 2 (44 + 69 = 113 chapters) combined. But yes...you are completely right, Stardust Crusaders is simply too MANLY to be just contained in a mere 24 episodes.
