It's been awhile since I heard Pilnareff...but does no one in the anime thread realize it's him?
I don't think anyone expects him coming back right now... I had a major mindfuck when i read that bit at least and part 3 came out some good time ago(then again, they didn't even try to hide Polnaleff's voice...

Y'know, rereading the last fight, araki sorta got to draw a "traitor" amongst the group, Diavolo still running on Mista's body xD
Goddamn the blood drops scene is still tense D:

United States
Awesome thanks for the info
Stardust Crusaders is shown uncensored only on ViZ's website (free, but only accessible in the US I think) and Hulu, to my knowledge. CrunchyRoll still only has the old TV-version of the footage. As for Diamond is Unbreakable, looks like the only option to view that uncensored/redrawn is either on Adult Swim's website or just the Blu-rays

Well I've come to the conclusion that I hate money, so I'm going to spend roughly $200 to get the Stardust Crusaders JoJoniums on my bookshelf.

Well for what it's worth you're buying what is likely the best version we could have received in the West (hardcover, great paper quality, colour pages, great translation).

My Rohan at the Louvre hardcover showed up and unf, it is a thing of beauty. I was worried it looked too thin but it was only $20 for full colour JoJo.

That reminds me that I still need to buy the last 4 volumes. I bought them as they were releasing so I never felt too guilty about what I was spending.

My actual first exposure to JoJo was the very first Phantom Blood hardcover back in what, 2014? I hated it so much. I'm a manga snob but even then I think the first two Parts are rough enough that watching the anime (and dubbed for Battle Tendency especially) is the way to go.

Next Episode is going to be interesting considering it confirms Bruno's state and we can properly explain what has happened to him in the anime only

you insane if you think part 3 was pre fabulous.

Even part 2 was fabulous.

Stardust Crusaders doesn't have anything on the level of Joseph and Caesar's ridiculously sexual posing and the Aztec Gods of Fitness. The most you get is Dio groping Jonathan's body in the dark.

Dude google translated the lines but the intentions were good lol
idk bout florida o-x but you've got 2 british, 2 japanese and a british/japanese italian citizen there so everyone gonna have some sort of accent

It's kinda funny thinking giorno can't speak english after reading jojo all through english scans, he seems like someone who'd take that class seriously but he also skipped school a lot D:

Joseph is pretty much American to be fair. He's only british because of his ancestry but I'm guessing he grew up in the US.

Cause araki can't make our life easier
I mean, I'm pretty sure he was born in the US. I think his father was as well so yeah. But I've always enjoyed that we have Jojos from a good amount of different countries. I wish Araki had kept the international aspect of the series instead of just settling down in the US and Japan.

Yeah, seems like at the time he published phantom blood japan had a huge bias against non japanese protagonists and he decided to just... ignore that
I love araki

When the heck is ASB going to get ported to modern consoles so I can play it online.

I don't want to spend $50 on a PS3 game.

Fuck asb, make a fighterz for jojo, i'll never let that go u_ú

I've read that ASW doesn't want to make one since All Star Battle fits the fighting game niche, and it sold really well.

Plus I'm total shit at fighting games so I'm fine with ASB being super basic and pick up n' play.

I'd be satisfied with just a port job with all the DLC, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want some of the Eyes of Heaven cast like Trish, Weather Report, and Diego.

Minus Joshu, obviously.

it's cool how they reframed diavolo "giving" bruno the ability to see his future self, it fixed a bit of the misunderstanding around it

Playing All Star Battle a couple of days ago reminded me how fucking hard Namco dropped the ball with Eyes of Heaven.

That game had everything going for it except the gameplay (which they probably could've nailed in a sequel)

I wish Eyes of Heaven was just a sequel or updated version of All Star Battle with the new characters. ASB's manga faithful art is so much better than EoH.

I know for a fact as soon as I cave that the game will get announced for current gen with all the DLC and a 60fps framerate.

There's actually a guy on youtube still doing daily uploads of ASB.

Eyes of Heaven was a gigantic tangle of missed opportunities. All those characters, yet the character interactions were overwhelmingly meh.
