Xibanya posted:Yep, that settles it. And really it's a relief because I can give more spontaneous impressions. Ohhh boy I can't wait to get started. I'm busy doing some additional Slam Fighter II improvement stuff (vote for Slam Fighter II, guys!) but that will be done by Friday, and then this weekend it's time for Let's Effort Read Part 4 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure!. Are you planning on running this as a thread read-along, or are you just going to read it on your own then post analysis of each arc?

Xibanya posted:E: to clarify, I don't plan on doing one post per story arc, but I don't want to commit to one post per chapter either. I'd be telling everyone what chapter(s) I plan to read next and then everybody can get ready for when I actually post by reading it/them too. K cool, this is what I was hoping for! It was sounding a little like you were just going to be posting analysis (which is great) rather than encouraging people to read along with you.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:I don't think anyone has asked or explained yet, but I think the first kanji in Higashikata can also be read as "Jo", which is why Araki chose that as Josuke's last name. I remember being told that the "suke" in his name can be read as "Jo", so his name can literally be "JoJo"

This scene / solution from Josuke is one of my favorites in all of JoJo. There this thing in my mom's blood? Better smash a loving bottle through her, then repair the bottle as I pull it back through her to catch the stand, then repair her as well.

Xibanya posted:Thanks for the positive feedback! I feel like I'm walking a fine line balancing act on a number of counts -- I don't want to get too bogged down in overly-long sermons pontificating my opinions on Araki's art or writing but at the same time I don't want to just dryly summarize what's happening. And I always enjoy poking fun at the things I love (as my IRL friends can attest) but I feel like I need to balance my desire to yuk it up with some restraint so that the focus remains on the original chapter itself and not a bunch of wisecracks (the Let's Cold Read videos are in part an outlet for this impulse!) So to hear everything is coming together well is really encouraging. I actually really love the analysis about Araki’s art and writing - it’s my favorite part of the Let’s Read. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to find chapter summaries in various places online, but your insights into what likely went into the creation of the comic itself is really interesting and unique, please keep it up! I’d also totally be down to read more for future parts, if it comes to that.
