Expect My Mom posted:Even this owned cause Kira got to fight a cat that turned into a plant and almost die of an embolism Stray cat rules, because it's a unique stand and it has Kira playing the "hero." But a lot of the enigma fight isn't great and Superfly's fight is boring. Also the Janken kid had some neat rohan moments, but that wasn't enough to save the fight.

I like the idea of Engima, and the anime does great stuff with style in that arc. Other fights "caused" by Yoshihiro were Highway Star and I Am An Alien so in the end I'm glad Araki stretched out Part 4 to fit in more fun ideas

Part 5 is Part 3 but better.  Also, for anime-only folks: Part 5's supporting cast is the best in all of JoJos. Get ready to fight and die for the honour of your Best Boy.

Yeah Part 5 really does a lot better with giving people screentime, it's not the Jotaro Kujo Show. The cast is a gang and are great at working together to overcome enemies

ZenVulgarity posted:Hooray now we're into parts of Jojo I know nothing about beforehand I'm in the opposite situation. I was purely an anime watcher until Part 4 ended, then I read Parts 5 and 6 (and started 7 a few days ago) so this is the first part I actually know everything about. Makes me a lot more nervous about posting, honestly, I fear spoiling something by accident. But I will risk it all for my boy Bruno Buccelati and his own boys. And donut hair, I guess.

When I found out Pt4 was being animated, my first thought was "Oh man, the motorcycle chase and the flip over the pram is going to be so cool." And it totally was.

The tower fight is what sold me on JoJos in the first place. It kind of solidified the perfect level of ridiculousness for me when reading - mainly because it was one of the earlier instances of how someone could have the worst Stand ever and still make it work for himself and still be a danger to the much more powerful main cast.

Part 5 is good. Wonder if they'll do any changes to the first fight with Zipper guy where he gets hit by GioGio's stand. Filling the zipper guy with "life" didn't make a whole lot of sense and he never did it again for the whole series.

To me, this part is going to live or die based on how well it's animated, since Part 5's main draw is how incredible its art is

Araki figured out that "can make anything on fire" is actually a really broken ability and went to great lengths to keep Avdol out of fights because really what is stopping time compared to YOU ARE ON FIRE RIGHT NOW?

Yes, it is a shame how obscenely powerful characters get one fight and then get written out of the story.

Araki operates on entirely what he thinks is cool and fun unless he thinks of something cooler or decides it wasn't all that cool and sometimes he remembers to check his notes and i love it

I bet when Wikipedia was first introduced in Japanese, Araki was really excited because it'd save him a lot of time.

You all know that JoJo Is so much fun for everyone You've so far seen just four parts Or only two if you like Hamon But what if I were to tell you There's a fresh fifth part out there That's lead by a hip new JoJo Who has a little.....weird doughnut hair Have you heard of the all-Italian JoJo? That blonde haired, blue-eyed Joestar guy He's not from England or Japan Like those other leading men No, this new protagonist Is all-Italian!

Part 5 easily has the most Italian representation, but its not the only part that passes the Bechedelli Test. For those of you who don't know, the test consists of three criteria: 1. The work must have at least two Italians in it, 2. Who talk to each other, 3. About something other than food.

Wasn't half that an act? Dude has done a lot of hamon, even if he's hella inconsistent about ever using it. Also he's incredibly rich in NYC, and has the ear of whatever the gently caress the Speedwagon Foundation can do. He could easily crack 100

Nah I'm not saying he's a dedicated practitioner that'll live as a forever youth like his mom. Morso extrapolating that, having ever done it at a high intensity scattered across his life and incredibly infrequently afterward, he should have some residual magic kung fu health effects even if he's not getting the full practitioner package. Enough that living to 100 as a rich guy that was super buff isn't a reach.
