 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a manga series that's been written since 1987 by Hirohiko Araki about a family of dudes named JoJo going on bizarre adventures. Stardust Crusaders specifically is where JoJo's starts creating its own niche as a series and changes entirely from Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency. THE STORY SO FAR  [Phantom Blood] is the first part of JoJo's Biarre Adventure. It follows the story of an English nobleman,[Jonathan Joestar]. Jonathan one day meets [Dio Brando], the son of a man who saved George Joestar (Jonathan's father) from death. After his father's mysterious death, Dio is given permission by George to live with the Joestars as a favor to his late father. Over the course of his stay Dio makes Jonathan's life hell until this culminates in Jonathan beating up Dio for burning his dog alive and kissing his girlfriend. After several years of peaceful living, Dio discovers a stone mask that was in the manor that allowed annoying who dripped blood on it to become a being more powerful than a human, a [Vampire]. Using the stone mask, Dio rejects his humanity and attempts to kill Jonathan. Jonathan defeats Dio, but at the cost of his father's life and the Joestar manor burning to the ground. After recovering, Jonathan meets Will A. Zeppeli, who reveals that Dio is not dead. In order to defeat Dio, Jonathan must learn to master the ripple, a power that allows the user to channel the power of the sun and vaporize the undead. Using this Jonathan and Zeppeli head off to fight Dio. Over the course of their adventure, Zeppeli is killed and Jonathan meets a group of ripple users who have come to help. Confronting Dio in his castle Jonathan manages to defeat Dio and finish him for good. Unfortunately, Dio survives and seeks to kill Jonathan and take his body. Jonathan boards a boat having recently been married to his childhood sweetheart, Erina Pendolton (now Erina Joestar), not knowing Dio is on this very boat. Dio kills Jonathan, but the boat sinks to the bottom of the ocean burying Jonathan and Dio together. Erina escapes in Dio's coffin having brought a child with her as well and so the story of Jonathan Joestar ends.  [Battle Tendency], is the second part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The story continues from several decades after Phantom Blood and follows Jonathan's grandson, [Joseph Joestar]. Joseph moves to New York with his grandmother, Erina. Word comes in of the family friend, Robert E. O. Speedwagon, being killed in Mexico by their former ally, Straizo, who has turned himself into a vampire with the stone mask. After being attacked by and defeating Straizo, Joseph heads to Mexico to see if he Speedwagon is still alive. He comes upon a secret facility run by the Nazis who are holding Speedwagon and meets Rudol von Stroheim, who is trying to awaken a man inside of a pillar who has been asleep for 2,000 years. They succeed and name him Santana, but he proves to have abilities that even the vampires have never shown and kills most of the Nazis and fatally wound Stroheim. Joseph manages to defeat Santana using the sun to turn him into stone. Joseph goes on to discover there are three remaining Pillar Men, all stronger than Santana. To help fight them he meets Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, the Grandson of Will, and Lisa Lisa, a master of the Ripple, Caesar's teacher, and Joseph's long lost mother. The journey is long and arduous, Caesar dies much like his Grandfather before him, and Joseph manages to kill two of the Pillar Men until he confronts the leader, Kars. Kars used the Red Stone of Aja to make himself into a perfect being and be nigh unkillable. Joseph defeats him by launching him out of the earth's atmosphere and he freezes in the vacuum of space. Joseph goes on to marry Lisa Lisa's assistant and live a long life. Fifty Years later, now 68, Joseph heads to Japan to visit his [Daughter] and [Grandson]...  Stardust Crusaders, is the third part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It follows Joseph's grandson, Jotaro Kujo, who travels the globe with a group of friends to save his mother from dying, by killing the revived DIO. To do this Joseph teaches Jotaro about a power that Jotaro believes is a curse, STAND. A ghostly figure that stands by the users side, stands have all kinds of powers that range from normal to the outright strange. This is where the true Bizarre Adventure starts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPxXvrjpxCk Staff Website: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=662 (Link to Website Staff Page) Production:  Series Director: Kenichi Suzuki Director: Naokatsu Tsuda Series Composition: Yasuko Kobayashi Original creator: Hirohiko Araki Character Design: Masahiko Komino Composer: Yuugo Kanno OP: STAND PROUD by Jin Hashimoto and ZENTA Characters   Jotaro Kujo (Stand: Star Platinum) Voice Actor: Daisuke Ono/Matthew Mercer PV: RAW SUB Jotaro Kujo, son of Holly and Sadao Kujo, is a 17-Year old high-school student. Jotaro's a tough guy who usually lets his fists do the talking. He's pretty smart-mouth and usually if he doesn't like anything he's more than willing to just beat it up, but belying the cooler-than-thou attitude is a momma's boy who's rather intelligent. Likes Fish.   Joseph Joestar (Stand: Hermit Purple) Voice Actor: Unshou Ishizuka/Richard Epcar PV: RAW SUB Joseph Joestar, Jotaro's grandfather, the previous protagonist, and New York's most successful real estate tycoon. Joseph's still a giant goof, just now he's a giant goof who dotes on his daughter and grandson. Despite aging, Joseph is still built a like poo poo brickhouse and is still a pretty smart guy who can make the best of any bad situation. Does not like the Japanese.   Mohammed Avdol (Stand: Magician's Red) Voice Actor: Kenta Miyake/Chris Tergliafera PV: RAW SUB Muhammad Avdol, an old friend of Joseph and Egyptian fortune teller. Avdol's rather serious minded and knowledgeable. He's a very moderate person who acts as the voice of reason to the rest of the group, but even he knows how to cut loose once in a while too. Despite his serious nature he's something of a showman, taking his time and being very grandiose about his fights. Likes Ice Cream.

Polnareff's a very... showy kind of guy. He likes shouting, making grand gestures, and in general presents himself as a heroic sort of guy. Although he's actually kind of a klutz and goon, Polnareff generally means well and is the most expressive member of the team. Likes dogs.  DIO (Stand: ???) Voice Actor: Takehito Koyasu/Patrick Seitz Dio is back and he's better than ever. Having amassed several people to fight for him, Dio's whereabouts are unknown as is his stand power. Likes birds.  RULES
CRUNCHYROLL IS STREAMING STARDUST CRUSADERS AND PREVIOUS JOJOS.http://www.crunchyroll.com/jojos-bizarre-adventure I hope you guys are excited for this. I've been waiting for a good Part 3 anime ever since I read it and there's just so much crazy stuff. Stardust Crusaders is such an influence on Japanese culture, hell it's pretty big even just to the manga industry over there. It's such a classic shonen story, but Araki adds enough of his own twists to make it even more fun and great to experience despite that. David Productions already proved themselves well with the first season of JoJos, their only flaw being the animation. If the PVs are anything to go by, that seems to have been fixed, but only time will really tell on that sort of thing. Nonetheless the voices are great so far, the music has a very 90s feeling to it, and the character designs evolving as they did in the manga is still great. We still don't know how many episodes there are going to be, but I trust David Productions to know what they're doing here enough to say that doesn't matter as much. I am so excited JoJos is back, ya'll. The first episode is one April 4th, get ready for JoJo to be back and all other animes to be USELESS! Crunchyroll will be streaming the first three episodes of the English dub of Stardust Crusaders at midnight (PST) to coincide with their airing at Anime Expo. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/06/23-1/crunchyroll-to-stream-english-dub-of-jojos-bizarre-adventure-stardust-crusaders It is unknown why they are skipping Parts 1 and 2, but no one really knows what to expect after these three episodes at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUCcmjaCL_c Captain Baal fucked around with this message at 09:25 on Jul 6, 2014 |

    Notable Notes -Favorite color is any transparent color. -Favorite movie is Never Cry Wolf. -Favorite sportsman is sumo wrestler, Chiyonofuji Mitsugu. -Jotaro's father, Sadao Kujo, is named Japanese jazz musician (Saxophonist, specifically), Sadao Watanabe and Kujo himself is a jazz musician (Also saxophonist). -Jotaro himself is actually based off of the characters of American actor,Clint Eastwood. On top of the cold personality, sharp tongue, and the almost insane ease for which he can just destroy a man, Jotaro's one liners also come off as somewhat Eastwood-esque. They're calm, cool, and used to punctuate the ending to a fight or even after it. Eastwood actually met Araki rather recently and talked to him about how Jotaro is based off of him and even showed him an image of Jotaro posing and Eastwood even did the pose himself. -Jotaro's card is the Star, signifying hope and serenity. Jotaro, while anger prone and foul-mouthed does generally have the interest of others at heart and people do rely on him, with the calmness of mind needed to even not shake at having a friggin' parasite infest his body. - His opposing cards being the Devil (Pessimism), Tower (End of a Journey), and the Moon (Wavering feelings). His reinforcing cards are the Fool (Faith) and the Empress (Love).    Notable Notes -Favorite color is Marine Blue. -Favorite foods are fried chicken and chewing gum. -Favorite actor is Jean Gabin. -Favorite animal are dogs. -His hobbies are collecting manga and comic books. -Joseph's is the Hermit, signifying guidance and solitude. Joseph acts as Jotaro's mentor of a sorts, teaching him about stands and showing general knowledge of the world, he and Avdol guide them along the journey. Among this he lives a comfortable life in New York as a real estate tycoon, but is still trying to get Holly and Jotaro there so he can be completely happy. -His opposing cards are Lovers (Sexuality) and the World (Socializing). His reinforcing card is the High Priestess (Withdrawing). -In the JJBA Capcom fighter, Joseph's moves use a combination of the ripple of the and hermit purple. However, Joseph's ripple super is one big reference to Battle Tendency as it flashes images of Lisa Lisa and his training with Caesar. Young Joseph cameos as a hidden playable character in said fighter and features several moves from Part 2 like the coke bottle, Aja stone, and the same super as above, but this time it flashes pictures of only Caesar as Joseph screams his name. -The Joestar family curse lives strong in him as he has survived three plane crashes. Despite his high mortality rate, Joseph has lived the longest of any Joestar after George I.    Notable notes -Favorite color is Orange. -Favorite movie is Midnight Run. -Favorite food is Sushi. -His hobby is collecting old books. -Avdol's namesake is somewhat difficult to pin down. The common belief is that it's a reference to Paula Abdul (Hence why some fan translations used Abdul for his name) and given Araki's musical taste it would support that, but there is also a Saudi singer with a very similar name, Mohammed Abdu. It's so similar it seems like it should be more than a coincidence, but no one really knows. -The Crossfire Hurricane is a reference to a lyric from Rolling Stones song, Jumpin' Jack Flash. -Avdol's is the Magician, signifying focus and power. Avdol being the most rational and calm member of the group by far knows how to analyze a situation and realize what must be done to overcome the obstacles and move forward. Avdol also springs forth with sudden bursts of energy which sort of betray his calm demeanor, he's surprisingly showy for such a chill dude. -His opposing cards are High Priestess (Nonaction) and the Hanged Man (Suspended action). His reinforcing card is the Chariot (Being forceful).    Notable Notes -Favorite color is Shiny Green. -Favorite food is cherries. -Favorite actor is Masakazu Tamura. -Favorite musician is Sting. -Favorite sportsmen are baseball team, the Yomiuri Giants. -Kakyoin is the only major character in the whole series who is not named after a musician of some sort and neither is his stand. His namesake actually is a town where Araki was raised in his home city of Sendai, where he also held an art exhibition for 25 years of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. -Due to Kakyoin obsessively talking about Jotaro's mom that one time, fan theory is he wants to mac on Holly. -Kakyoin's card is the Hierophant, signifying education and conforming. Kakyoin being taken all over the world by his parents throughout his life has some world knowledge, more so than the average high school student and is generally knowledgeable. He's also been something of a loner for a lot of his life, so journeying with the group is finally giving him some place to belong and have friends. -His opposing cards are the Fool (Unorthodox) and the Lovers (Personal beliefs). His reinforcing card is the Emperor (Following rules).    Notable notes -His namesake is founding member of the Eagles, Glenn Frey. The kana in both of their names is also pretty similar, グレー・フライ (Gure Furai) and グレン・フライ (Guren Furai). -Tower of Gray is a fight in the PS version of Heritage for the Future. You can't actually play as or unlock him, he's merely a fight for Kakyoin in the super story mode. -Gray Fly's card is the Tower, signifying falling down and things suddenly changing. Gray Fly is the group's first actual malevolent stand user, he gets on the plane with them and causes it to crash delaying their arrival in Cairo for a good while. He probably also brings a rather abrupt end to people's lives too being an assassin and whatnot. -His opposing cards are Chariot (Control), Temperance (Contained), and Star (Calm). His reinforcing cards are Death (Sweeping impact) and Sun (Enlightenment).    Notable Notes -Favorite color is Gold. -His hobbies are playing any kinds of sports. -His namesakes are both French Formula One Racer, Jean-Pierre Jarier and French folk singer, Michel Polnareff. -Polnareff debuts differently in the OVA. In it, he actually is on Strength waiting for the group. The fight with Avdol plays out the same way, but Polnareff turns out to have joined Dio through being promised his sister's killer rather than a flesh bud. -While Polnareff was called Polnareff for well over a decade in several western translations of JoJo (OVA, Viz Manga, Capcom game) and even the recent Crunchyroll translation which changed the names of Santana and Bruford kept the name. For whatever reason, most likely being insanely safe on the names, Namco-Bandai in their localization of All Star Battle changed his name to "Eiffel" more than likely a reference to the famous Eiffel Tower, but some like to joke it's for Eiffel 65. -Polnareff is the inspiration for KoF character, Benimaru Nikaido, to the point that the developers literally just call him Polnareff when they talk about him. -Polnareff is also quite possibly a reference to Inigo Montoya in personality and story. They both seek to avenge a family member of the men that killed them with strange hands, both are master swordsmen, and both are rather flashy. -Polnareff's tarot card is the Chariot, signifying control and assertiveness. Polnareff is someone who holds to his convictions even when possessed by the evil bud of a vampire, he is always chivalrous, sporting, and offers a fair fight even if he uses some tricks during it. He will explain his powers and seek to win through skill and cunning rather than outright deception and strength. He's also quite assertive in his persistence in joining the group, finding his sister's killer at all costs, and even hitting on women. -His opposing cards are Strength (Persuasion) and Hanged Man (Acceptance). His reinforcing card is the Magician (Power of Will).    Notable Notes -The Imposter Captain Tennille's namesake is of course American pop duo, Captain & Tennille. His name change from the Crunchyroll subs however is Captain Dragon which is the last name of "Captain" Daryl Dragon." -The Imposter Captain is a QTE boss fight in the PS version of Heritage for the Future. -The Imposter Captain is the only character whose actual name is never revealed in the series or supplementary material, he is just known as "The Imposter Captain Tennille". -The Imposter Captain's tarot card is the Moon, signifying illusions and losing direction. The Imposter's goal from the outset is to hinder the group's journey and through this he has killed Captain Tennille and taken his place so as to steer the group off course from Cairo through killing them or at least leaving them stranded at sea. Dark Blue Moon is also a stand based around the sea a common fear shared amongst people afraid of the deep unknown, symbolizing another aspect of the Moon (Fear). -The Moon's opposing cards are Star (Serenity) and Sun (Clarity). It has no reinforcing numbered cards.    Notable Notes -Forever's namesake is the second album of the Wu-Tang Clan, Wu-Tang Forever. -Forever is a boss fight in the PS version of Heritage for the Future. In his boss fight you are playing as Jotaro in a first-person version view moving a reticle around trying to shoot at Forever. As this is going on he is throwing any number of objects at you and Ann can pop up, if you hit her you lose health. -Forever is in the OVA, but instead of being killed by Jotaro he is killed by Polnareff. -Forever was never actually named in the series, his name was given to him in an extra edition of Jump asking about villains which is where he got his name. -Forever is based on the orangutan from the 1986 horror film, Link. -Forever's tarot card is Strength, signifying strength (Duh) and patience. Forever being an orangutan is of course very strong and Strength's power can very depending on what it's possessing. Forever, also had a good hold on the fight of Jotaro with just patience, he managed to wait quite a while so everyone was split or helpless to actually attack them. He spends quite a bit of time just waiting for the moment to strike. It is the moment where he gets angry and strats throwing a fit that spells the end for him. -His opposing card is Chariot (Control). His reinforcing card is the Hanged Man (Patience).    Notable Notes -Devo's namesake is the 70s American rock band, Devo. In the Viz Media translation of the manga his named was changed to reference a song from Santana, Soul Sacrifice. This name would carry on into the All Star Battle and Crunchyroll translations. -Devo is playable in JoJo's Biarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, but the doll is used as his stand rather than his actual stand which shows up for his guarding animation. -Devo's tarot card is the Devil, signifying bondage and feeling hopeless. Bondage in this case is a bit too literal given he ended up binding Polnareff to the bottom of the bed, but hopelessness sort of feeds into his power. Through holding a grudge and hating his enemy Devo must be in a situation where he is hurt and feeling terrified allowing him to feel his despair. -Devo's opposing cards are the Fool (Belief) and Star (Hope). He has no numbered reinforcing cards.    Notable Notes -Rubber Soul's namesake is the 1965 Beatles album of the same name. Rubber Soul was never actually named in the manga, having a similar case to Forever where the name came after. -Rubber Soul is a playable character in the Heritage for the Future fighting game where he acts as a palette swap of Kakyoin, although plays very differently. This version features his torture and a special intro where he eats the beetles and grows larger referencing the manga more. Of course, he also has a taunt where he rolls the cherry in his mouth. -Rubber Soul's tarot card is Temperance, signifying moderation and health. This is another weird one, like Devo. Rubber Soul's character doesn't exactly fall into the category of this card too well as most of the moderation in his actions comes from him trying to fool Jotaro with how he perceives Kakyoin and alleviate the problems through talking. It only figures this guy would end up fighting the most patient member of the group. I guess his health comes from the fact that the dude ate beetles too, those gotta be made of proteins and other good stuff. -Rubber Soul's opposing card is Tower (Extremities). His reinforcing card is the World (Synthesis).    Notable Notes -Hol Horse's namesake is the 1970s R&B group, Full Force, however it was believed his name was a reference to Hall & Oates for a while. -Hol Horse is a playable character in both Heritage for the Future & All Star Battle fighting games. In both games he is able to redirect his bullets and even uses the Hanged Man in some of his specials and supers. He is actually the only playable character of the Part 3 cast in ASB who is not a protagonist or major antagonist. -Hol Horse's tarot card is The Emperor, signifying leadership and authority. This one seems a bit ironic at first, but it does fit Hol Horse. Hol Horse's philosophy is to always lead the life of #2, he never wants to be #1. It's best to always let the strong handle everything and you act as backup. Despite this, Hol Horse will usually be the one to take the lead in fights because he is so confident in his partner, that he essentially acts as bait. He's the one to lead the plans, start the fire, and get everything going so his much stronger partner can handle all of the dirty work. -Hol Horse's opposing card is Empress (Freedom of Self). His reinforcing cards are Hierophant (Conforming) and Justice (Law).    Notable Notes -J. Geil's name is the 1960s rock group, J. Geils Band and his name change (From ASB and Crunchyroll) is their biggest hit single, Centerfold. -J Geil's never been playable in a JoJo game despite being more of an important antagonist than most Part 3 villains. He ends up getting packaged into Hol Horse's moveset. -J. Geil's tarot card is The Hanged Man, signifying letting go and suspension. J. Geil having a partner in Hol Horse is great for him, as someone as loud and bombastic as Hol Horse is bound to draw attention away from him. He's able to plan his attack accordingly and strike when the time is right, allowing his Hanged Man to hop from reflection to reflection. He's also Polnareff's goal, killing him will finally bring Polnareff some peace of mind from his sister's death or will it? The Hanged Man is a tricky card. -J. Geil's opposing cards are Magician (Action) and Chariot (Self-Assertion). His reinforcing cards are Fool (Going with the Flow), High Priestess (Suspended Activity), and Strength (Patience).    Notable Notes -Nena's namesake is the same as the 1980s German pop singer. -Nena is a QTE boss in the PS version of Heritage for the Future. -In the OVA Nena does show up and plays the same role she did in the manga up to saving Hol Horse from the group, but she never actually fights the group. -Nena's tarot card is the Empress, signifying abundance and mothering. The Empress as a whole relates to Nena's power. By having her own blood pour onto another's body, she forms a new life with the host of Empress. Allowing the person hosting it to take care of it and help it grow. The Empress also allows for an excess in many things: food, nurturing from the father, and eventually, their life. -Nena's opposing cards are Emperor (Order) and Death (Literally every principle of the card). Her reinforcing cards are Lovers (Pleasure) and Star (Generosity).    Notable Notes -ZZ's namesake is pretty obviously the American rock band, ZZ Top. -ZZ is a QTE boss in the PS version of Heritage for the Future. -ZZ's tarot card is the Wheel of Fortune, signifying movement and turning points. ZZ drives a car and spends half of the fight literally doing a myriad of silly poo poo before finally deciding to try and kill them for reals. -ZZ's got no opposing or reinforcing cards in the Major Arcana, this was a pretty easy entry overall as you can see.    Notable Notes -Enya's namesake is the Irish singer, Enya. In the English versions her name usually ends up getting changed to "Enyaba" which just means "Old Lady Enya." -Enya is a boss in the PS version of Heritage for the Future. In her boss fight you play Jotaro as if he were in a side-scrolling beat 'em up. You kill her zombies until the counter for them runs down, Enya comes onto the screen and then you have to beat her. As she's out Justice will try and attack you as a hovering fixture in the background until you hit Enya. During this her zombies will also still try to attack you. -Enya in the OVA is portrayed somewhat differently. On her debut she is actually a beautiful woman (Still with two right hands), but this is a disguise made by Justice, apparently. It's not until her part of the story you see her original appearance where she is switching between her original and disguised appearances to fool the group. It's not until Jotaro pulls the trick he pulled on Imposter Captain Tennille's in the original story that she reveals herself as Justice's stand user. -Enya's tarot card is Justice, signifying responsibility and decision making. Enya's sought to make the group suffer dearly for killing her son. She feels that they and Hol Horse are responsible for what happened and she will make them suffer for it. On top of this she acts as Dio's consigliere making all of the choices for who will fight the group, at what points, and what they will do. Ironically enough, what caused her death was the decision of the same person who she made the choices for. -Enya's got no opposing cards in the major arcana. Enya's reinforcing cards are Emperor (Justice) and Judgment (Accepting the Past). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkanHSvFq3Q Captain Baal fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jul 18, 2014 |

I have edited the title to be to the point, and made some edits to the OP to correspond to what I actually intend to enforce rule wise (also addin the logo). I dunno if it's entirely necessary, but for the time being I've also spoiler tagged two of the main characters for Reasons. There are after all twists involved in them. Anyway, I'm pretty excited for this. Looking forward to seeing what musical choices they go with

Stairmaster posted:What the hell was the point of changing the tag? Given that Dio's coffin is literally shown in the part 2 outro anime, and him featuring in the first episode likely, that he is relevant really isn't a surprise now isn't it! On the other hand (Part 3)Polnaref is introduced as an antagonist in what is probably going to be like five episodes in; outright pointing that he's going to become a protagonist is kind of dumb imo. Like I said, I dunno if it's entirely necessary but it hardly hurts! As for the tag, it is a rule on SA to use appropriate thread tags for threads, and I don't know if it's possible for a tag to be more appropriate than this one!

I picked the Stone Cold tag because the manga thread has the exact same one and I want to decrease the chances of mistaking one for the other. That may sound silly, but I think that's enough. That and Stardust Crusaders is the Stone Cold of JJBA. I don't care about whatever other changes were made, but I'd like it if you can change that back, at least.

Anyone remotely interested in the JoJo series should be making GBS threads their pants in excitement for this. There's a reason that out of the blue the JoJo franchise became insanely popular during the Stardust Crusaders, and if the anime reaches even a fraction of that it will be the best thing all season easily.

Unless something is said otherwise I think it's safe to assume it'll be in the 24-26ish range. Which should be fine since it will force the pacing to stay brisk. IIRC Part 3 is not that much longer than Part 1 and 2 combined?

Srice posted:Unless something is said otherwise I think it's safe to assume it'll be in the 24-26ish range. Which should be fine since it will force the pacing to stay brisk. IIRC Part 3 is not that much longer than Part 1 and 2 combined? Part three is quite long. With 24-26 episodes things would have to move at a rapid pace, 36-39 would be the alternative and I don't expect it to go into 48-52 episode territory because they would have to start really drawing things out at that point.

Not really, it's an anime, fights don't need a lot of space like in the manga because there's not dozens of panels. Judging it by volume count is really dumb considering it's a shonen battle manga, everything that takes a lot of space there does not need it here.

At the same time, they had to cut a few things to fit parts 1/2 (which even combined are shorter then part 3) into 26 episodes. It's weird, when I read through part 3 I thought it was cool but it didn't really effect me that much, but after they officaly announced this anime I suddenly went OH MAN I HOPE THEY ANIMATE SCENE X OH MAN AND MOMENTS ABC WERE SO COOL AND WOW I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHEN THAT OTHER THING HAPPENS  The improved animation and the music from the trailers being totally loving rad might play a part in it.

I just wonder if any fights would be cut. Obviously there's some that could be half an episode or so If it's only 24 episodes, it's going to move fast or have some cut content, or some combination of the two.

I'm pretty sure they could fit it into 26 episodes pretty well. If they needed more episodes, they could probably get more anyways given how important this is to them.

Of course, some fights can be condensed much more than others. At least one could work as just a cold open, even.

Yeah, with shonen pacing it's simple to compress things because this is a case where they don't have to worry about catching up to the manga. Heck, Madhouse has shown that it's possible to cover like half a volume in a single episode with a few of their shows, so hopefully David Production will follow suit. Trimming the fat can really go a long way.

The first one was that Joseph didn't shove a cactus up that one Nazis rear end he met in the desert, and that was probably cut for censoring reasons. The other was a pretty long slapstick routine where Joseph sprays ketchup and mustard all over a pickpocket that tried to steal from Lisa Lisa, and that was probably only cut for pacing reasons, to get the episode to end on a cliffhanger. Lord knows there were enough long pans and reaction shots during the Wham and Cars fight that could have been cut to make room for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being three or more cours. I mean, going along the lines that this is basically a license for them to print money what since Part 3 is inanely popular compared to Part 1 or 2, it's not like they're in a rush to pile it on in. It's sort of like how FMA Brotherhood ended up just taking its merry time because hey, it's popular, what's the rush?

I'm only disappointed in 1 thing. The ASB cast, except Jotaro & Dio, isn't voicing the anime

Even if they covered half a volume per episode they'd still end up with 32 episodes, or 2½ cours. At that point it's much easier to stretch things for another 4 episodes to get 3 cours with midseason breaks than it is to trim out 6 episodes worth of stuff without cutting any arcs to fit the series in 2 full cours. Hell, look at Battle Tendency. They took 17 eps to cover 7 volumes, which averages to around 2.4 episodes/volume. At the same pace (which I really wouldn't describe as slow), it would take them almost 39 episodes to cover all 16 volumes of Stardust Crusaders. And, conveniently, 39 episodes is exactly three 13-episode cours.

Unfortunately for part 3, there aren't really any moments like that (unless they cut some of the cultural sidenotes). Even if technically most of the fights are filler they all have really cool moments in 'em. darealkooky fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Mar 16, 2014 |

They could cut The Sun. That fight was pretty pointless.

Wham It's all good, buddy. I wasn't really that bothered by it, just wanted to QQ. Seriously though, I'm looking forward to this mostly due to the translation. Finished reading Stardust Crusaders a looooong time ago, and the translation scene at the time was a loving car wreck. It'll be nice to have a decent idea what's actually going on now.

Oh man you missed some good lines then if you read that bad translation, the Viz Manga did a fantastic job with a lot of the character quips.

Well, it is the "start" because it gave rise to the supernatural element that forms part of all the next parts. The ripple is fine but it was in part3 when Araki struck gold.
