Ok, if you're not trolling here, I wanna hear all your (wrong) opening opinions.

for the record I don't think those two are bad all the way, just that they have aurally unpleasant and jarring spots (the oras and the sono chi no kioku itself in sono chi no kioku, the mush-mouth-sounding vocals and whatever the annoying childlike noise is in 0:41-0:50 in great days) that drag the whole ops down. like an apple that's otherwise amazing but has a rotten spot in the middle. traitor's requiem also has this issue but slightly less so (the part just before the hell no and the very end)

other than that I don't really have a ranking system, each other op is great in its own way because each one generates a distinct tone that matches the part and the protagonist

It took a year or more between Diamond and Golden Wind, so probably not until late this year or sometime next year.

It just occurred to me that there's a pretty big hole in the Head Doctor being Tooru's Stand theory. Back in chapter 76 the Head Doctor and Wu were at the orchard disguised as ambulance drivers. Unless Tooru projected his Stand to create a disguised illusion that was also driving the ambulance it's pretty unlikely that the Head Doctor is just a Stand.

Looking back on it my point that the Head Doctor isn't a Stand because he was driving the ambulance doesn't hold up considering what we've seen in the past. Stands can totally drive vehicles if needed

Yeah, even as far back as part 3 you had stuff like hermit purple being able to fly airplanes.

Giving part 4 a rewatch...did Joseph arrive in Morioh by boat only because he simply could not be trusted in aircrafts any longer?

He's the hospital's Stand, like Les Feuilles for Shakedown Road.

Yeah, you can't really hold all stands to whatever rules were established in whatever part. You gotta look at them case by case. Joseph's rear end pulls continue to resonate to this day.

hermit purple kind of explicitly interfaces with technology so it's not like it's even controversial for it to be used to control a plane

I feel like we are just past 2/3rds of jojolion pacing wise. I dont know why but us now starting to get to know the head doctor at this point feels like we're setting up for something major to happen...I think this is some kind of fake out plot wise though and we're going to see kaato as the main big bad with jobin usurping the doctor.

if it's 2/3, that's crazy. I'd expect more like 4/5

nah, i think they mean the takashi miike venture that was live action

and in response to that: i've only heard that it's pretty okay if you like takashi miike stuff. i have no experience with the things he's done, so, whatever.

You haven't seen Audition?

None of his stuff is really anything like the other, so it doesn't really matter since you can't make a comparison with his 2 billion movies.

The DiU movie is a really good adaptation of the first 3rd or so with a hint of the villain EXCEPT there's not enough posing, which is the only thing missing but a big thing.
