I really need to read more of the interviews, there's some crazy deep lore in them, like the part where one of his editors said that Araki originally wanted Giorno to be a girl

Well, Giovanna IS a woman name.

It's Araki, if it came out that he was starting parts 9 and 10 concurrently; with part 9 ditching stands for teen romance, my only reaction would be "Yea, I can see him doing that."

But only for, like 10-15 episodes, then Stands are back again.

Cannot understand how people are excited for a prospect of a Part 9. An almost 70 year old man whose art and writing have only gotten worse over the course of a decade should just retire.

How in the world "61" is "almost 70"?

Son of Thunderbeast posted:

Technically it's closer to 70 than 0

Ah, yes, my bad. Anyone who is more than 35 years old is "almost 70", how could I forget.

iirc it wasn't even his current editor it was a former editor who kept being like "it's an old man and a clown? Dumb!... It's two brats? Dumb! Ew it's a bug guy? Dumb!" etc.

Torishima is a legendary editor and a force to be reckoned with.

Assuming it's a 39 episode season that's got to be around the time Jotaro gets ganked and DISC'd I think?

Nah. That is quite soon in the story. The third arc, after Jolyne first days of prison and Goo Goo Dolls

I forgot but the PS1 version actually has fights against them in its super story mode though they're mini-games and quick-time events

Part 3 had so many Stand users

34.
22 tarots, 9 gods, Holly, Vanilla Ice and Kenny G.
Part 4 had 26 Stands, part 5 had 27 (+2 requiem stands), part 6 had 25, part 7 had 21 and part 8 had 27 (+ whatever Milagro Man was).

Part 3 is very Monster of the Week, but it's oddly charming in how it's presented. It's weird, because Part 5 does the same thing but arguably better and with better characterization and I still find myself more enamored with Part 3.

The main cast is better (the part 5 people become way too serious and abrasive in some situations), there is more levity in general, and Jotaro is the Man With No Name.

He won against Kakyoin without using his powers, though. He IS good.

Or, true to his form, Kakyoin just sucks at it.
Nah. You don't suck at a game when you play like they did. and against Jotaro, D'Arby knew the weak points of all the batters in the game. He obviusly used his powers to cover his weaknesses, but he was good.

You know that’s just a year or two off from retirement age in most countries right?

My expected retirement age is 69.
Also, in general, I have an hard time thinking about someone on their 60 as "old". But that's more on me I suppose.

And I think the overall story structure... just doesn’t work. Team Bruno spends half the story fighting off the rogue assassination squad whilst following Diavolo’s orders... then right as they’re about to complete their mission they suddenly turn traitor themselves and spend the second half of the story fighting off Diavolo loyalists. It’s like they’re deliberately trying to get into as many fights as possible for as little gain as possible.

Well, Trish was the switch that made them act, but Bruno and Giorno were always working for the boss with the intention of betraying him.

eh. I really don't like the cast, for now. Let's see how much is left of the original characterization quirkiness in 2 years.
