Every subsequent JoJo is made to contrast to the previous one
Can't find a stronger contrast than Joseph and Jonathan though...at least on a roll. When you look at them it's like looking at two edges of a spectrum cause jonathan would be rolling in his coffin to everything joseph did lol

I feel like subsequent pairs are at least somewhat similar but joseph start like jonathan's polar opposite

Is Jolyne eccentric? She has very clear goals, is quite prone to anger, she's determined to protect herself, save the people she cares about... I think she's the most classic shônen character of them all since Jonathan, except angrier (and, well, the fact she's a woman). I wouldn't call her a goofball/joker/buffoon like Joseph, Jôsuke or Jôsuke.

She and giorno end up being two of the most down to business jojos, the only thing you could call "excentric" about her is that she's a female protagonist in a shonen manga with an active sexual life and God forbid having an "impure" girl in a shonen magazine (that's why she's fucking awesome :p)

I think what determines if a part is one of my favourites is how well I can connect to the characters. I adore the duwang gang a lot, the character archetypes of josuke, okuyasu and koichi are the types I really enjoy watching, so part 4 is my fave even if I do think there's some issues with the plot at times. And like if I were to be real real real honest here I think the plot of part 6 is kind of a mess but I love jolyne, Hermes and foo fighters, pucci is a fantastic villain, and weather report is pretty cool too so I really like part 6 a lot.

Also today is the day we get to see spice girl I am so excited for trish to get her moment to shine!!

Jolyne is eccentric in that she's a loud brash woman, which isn't eccentric at all. Especially given she's AMERICAN.

She's literally just a delinquent.

I think this is true for all jojo parts... I couldn't feel much for Johnny and Gyro so no matter how well written part 7 is I can't care much, yeat i love part 6 for the mess it is cause it has a lot of cool characters for just one bad rotten apple... Jojolion's family doesn't appear much but their dynamics alone made me love the part, we had some family matters in jojo before but we never got to deall with a douchebag brother, sassy sisters, weird lil children and just the best grandpa on earth thatactually managed to have relevance to th story...

I see a lot of people liking characters i couldn't care but i just assume they touch their strings and not mine xD

She's definitely a delinquent.

She's more business oriented than Joseph, but she'll still have her fun.

Missing out on a ton of great moments if you do that

Part 3 is not about moments that "need to be there"

for fuck's sake remove the damn rape ape. i also like having first d'arby a bit separated from second d'arby because it makes a break between 4000IQ battles, other than that i'd still miss some DIO in the middle but it would help... but idk my fav episodes were dumb ones like yellow temperance, the sun and that car

Mariah is one of my favourite fights of part 3, so no. Also Midler and Death XIII.
Tower of Grey and Dark Blue Moon are lame, but also useful to answer the question "why don't they take a plane/boat to be there faster?".

My problem with Yellow Temperance is it's just Steely Dan before Steely Dan.

And while Mariah is cool, a fight centered around "HAHAHA GAY!" is not.

Death XIII is the perfect episode but then kakyoin puts shit on the baby food

I dunno I fucking love Part 3.
Then again I liked all parts so far. I gotta read Part 6 to see if it really shits itself or not.

My girlfriend and I ordered a set of the hardcover manga collections (parts 1-3 so far) and are considering building a replica of DIO's coffin to house them in, lol

Was it? There was just that one scene with the old lady screaming at Avdol and Joseph in an embarrassing position, and I think was less TEH GAYS and more "these two guys are fucking in public" (which, even in London in 2019, is a big no-no). Ah, and also she thought Joseph was into her, but then it turns out he's more into hot and strong Egyptian men, so tough luck lady. Mariip mentioned earlier that she also felt ill-at-ease with the visual joke about the canon boobs I think...?
I don't know, I remember a really fun and good humored fight. Maybe the times have changed.

So with 14 episodes left, I'm trying to figure out how the rest of the show will play out.
26 will have My Name is Doppio, so I'm guessing that part and the beginning of King Crimson vs Metallica.
27 will have the rest of the fight, ending with Abbacchio's death
28 will have them investigate and learning Diavolo's name, ending with them arriving in Rome.
29 will be Green Day and Oasis 1
30 will be Part 2 (ending with the 7 Page Beatdown)
31 will be Part 3, introducing Polnareff and having Doppio "escort" Bucciarati
32 will be Diavolo's flashback, also revealing the origin of the arrows, ending on Doppio revealing he's Diavolo
33 will be the fight, leading into the body swapping.
34 will be Chariot Requiem Part 1
35 will be Part 2
36 will be Part 3
37 will be the start of the Diavolo fight, ending with Gold Experience Requiem
38 will be the end of the fight, and the beginning of Sleeping Slaves
39 will be the rest of it, and an extended anime-only epilogue because Golden Wind really needs one.

That's my guess in how things will go. I probably miscalculated several things, been a little bit since I read the manga

My issues with part 3 summarised in one line, despite parts 1 and 2 being written way before part 3, 3 is the only one that feels like a product of its time, constantly, sometimes it's just a 90s comedy show with 2010s animation, and yeah i hate the boob cannons :p

The Rolling Stone is literally in the ED
They ain't skipping it
Fair, i just don't know how to fit it in the story cause it's like "hey bad guy isn't dead, cut to 4 days ago mista talking about human flesh"



There's one thing i like in part 3, an that's the second op, this version is just too damn cool. (Stand proud is nice too i guess, but needed more Tommy)

WOW, this arc for Vento Aureo is probably the most improved manga to anime translation since the rat episode in DiU for me. I did not like the Notorious B.I.G. fight in the manga at all (it's probably only one of three fights of the entire part that I'm not a fan off), but everything in the anime is such a huuuuuge improvement imo. The lighting, the tension, the key moments, SpIcY lAdY having a MUCH sleeker redesign, all feel sooo much better in the anime. That said, I'm still not a fan of how the fight ended. The double fakeout feels a bit sloppy, and engine twist seems a bit at odds with how it got back on the plane after Giorno dumped it out the first time, idk.

Can't FUCKING WAIT for the Metall- excuse me, mEtAlhEaD fight. With the lack of censors lately, something tells me we're going to be seeing a lot more of the brutality of the fight than a lot of us joked about.

Also, I love that they're keeping short (slicked back?) hair of shadowed Diavolo. I know Araki probably didn't want to repeat some of the same design traits as Kira, but I personally like the mafioso suit look a bit more than stripper butterfly Diavolo.

Yeah, I despise how many "small" moments the anime cut out from the manga. Things like the Mickey Mouse quote and Josuke saying he forgot to wash his hands after he took a shit made the part for me.
jousuke rulz ok

Though, I was never really a fan of the fan translation kinda making him out to be a bit less flamboyant(?)/more hetero-sounding in a few of his speech bubbles. (Taking away a heart from the end of one of them, tsk tsk!)
And this is why I'm excited to finally have an official English translation of our beloved Part IV manga out over the coming years starting next month

This makes me wonder if the official translations or part 5 will keep some of the italian the fan translation team used... it's not that faithful to the material, i think, but it's so damn charming...

Meanwhile here they're saying we'll only get a portuguese translation of parts 4+ if the first trilogy sells well... i don't ming buying battle tendency/phantom blood... but do i really need to buy SDC :(?

The part 3 gross-out scenes aren't as bad in the manga. Plus the art and pacing are both much better as well
Problem is lenght and price per volume, i could buy phantom blood or battle tendency cause it'll be 3-4 volumes each at 30-40BRL, would kill my wallet(usually mangas cost 16) but id know money would be sorta well spent... but oh man i only wanted to buy parts 4-6 and maybe jojolion :/

What's with the lack of artwork from that Twitter account from one of the animators? Part 3 had one every week! Part 4 had them consistently too. What's with the lack of part 5? ;(

I'm hyped for every episode every week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I hope they can make that fight look cool without needind too many black spots, im guessing this could be one of the reasons for it happening at night now, you can do some tricks to make it look good but not actually showing stuff if it comes to that. Of course going all in would be better considering this and green day fights are gonna be just nasty :p
