First DLC character announced.

>>84511
On this days it's hard to trust on scores from "press", but I'm optimistic as well.

>final match of ASB tournament is Dio vs. Jotaro
I knew it, this shit is rigged.

So any dream interactions for All-Star Battle's story mode?

I kind of want to see Part 3 Dio question Jonathan about his last words to him right before they fight.

>this pose
fuck yeah best panel

JJBA ALL-STAR BATTLE [ ALL HHA…
It's out now!

Jojo's All Star Battle Joseph …
>that WRYYYYYY
>that HEY BABY
>that YES I AM
>that NANI WO SURUNDA
>that NYOHO
>that DOJYAAAAAAN
>ah fuck it, that everything

I can't. I literally can't.

Came up with some 'shounen'-esque epithets for all the main Jojos. Figured I'd post them here since they'd be really out of place most anywhere else:

Jonathan-Gentleman Giant
Joseph-The Magenta Maverick
Jotaro-Silent Celestial
Josuke-Noble Delinquent
Giorno-Lustrous Mafioso
Jolyne-String Mistress Papillon
Johnny-Crooked Rider/Frontier Herald
"Gappy"-The Blank Buccaneer

>>84699
Aside from Joseph and Jotaro's they're not bad. You been playing a lot of P4U?

Let's talk about how awesome the intro/opening of the game is:

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All …

It makes me feel like I'm about to watch a heist movie, or a porno, or a heist porno.

Also, Tusk Act 4 can rip open my Love Train anytime.

P.S. I find it hilarious that Joseph gets the longest introduction but is all but absent from the rest of it since he can't ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA like all the other Jojos.

>>84709
That's because he's a Strong Hamon Warrior who don't need no Stand.
Plus no need for punchgoasts means he's a blast to watch compared to the guys whose movesets are half variations of ORA.

>>84701
A bit.

Ok, how about this for Joseph:

The Maverick Magician

I got nothing else for Jotato, sadly.

The 2d fighter is on sale on PSN in eu.

So apparently they're rerunning the Jojo anime later this fall, which is usually only done for series that are getting a sequel or BD set. The most common reason I've seen given for why it's taken them this long to announce a sequel (barring executive politics and the like) is staff obligations, such as that the screenwriter Yasuko Kobayashi has been too busy with other projects like SnK until now.

Started reading the manga. I finished part 3 which I thought was just kind of okay but im really liking part 4 so far Jouske is awesome and It just feels better paced so far I really dig it (only just finished the fight with Bad company and though)

>>84760
I tried reading the manga, but the scanlations are just fucking atrocious.

>>84767
pssst here's the rescans http://donebetterelsewhere.blogspot.com/

personally i look upon DUWANG with a motherly sort of fondness

>>84742
I still can't get over the fact that the second lead basically looks like Heero Yuy hit the gym overtime because he got sick of being laughed at by all the other kids at school.

>>84776
Technically, considering their respective publishing dates, Heero Yuy looks like Joseph got a wasting disease and decided to stop dressing like a manwhore.

>>84709
They're just giving a good shoutout to the most broken character in the game. Apparently Joseph is regarded as toppest tier because of his ability to spam divekick.

>>84783
Divekick is the ultimate form of combat

>mfw I realize, just now, after reading several Jojolion chapters after the one that reveled the fact that Part 8 Kira apparently died of cardiac arrest.
>Some would mistakenly call that a heart attack

Araki is a gloriously clever bastard.

>ASB confirmed for being brought to America and Europe
>Viz republshing Stardust Crusaders in digital format, considering also bringing over Parts 1 and 2, maybe the others if they can deal with copyrights
Feels good man.

>>84856

If they can deal with the Copyrights of Part 1 and 2 we might also see the anime!

http://mech2heart.com/2013/09/19/arakis-return-to-weekly-shonen-jump/
Damn Araki's been hitting it big lately.

>>84860
>dubbed Jojo
Although people are saying Troy Baker would make a good Joseph and I don't really disagree.

>>84864

I could see Reuben Lagdon doing him as well.

Guys, what if original universe Josuke is trapped in the Wall Eyes and Crazy Diamond is responsible for the landmark's bizarre (mostly the whole, fusion aspect) powers? Or should I say:

CRAZY DIAMOND REQUIEM??!!

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All …
OH MY GOD indeed.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All …
OH MY GOD indeed.

>>84894
>that garish pink color scheme on Lisa Lisa

>>84895
>dat Lisa Lisa

If we get F.F. all my dreams will come true.

>>84894
>>84895
Is it just me, or did Old Joseph's "OH MY GOD!!!" seem a little tame, soft, quiet and subdued?

>>84911
Yeah, sounds like he's too busy trying to get his voice to sound old to pay attention to proper emoting. As much as I love Sugita for his voice and everything he does IRL, and even though he's generally good with what he does, I wouldn't rank him at the top in terms of VA quality.

Goddamn Old Joseph is awesome.

Since the board's back, I can post this.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All …

Think of a JoJo character:

That character listens to the music (album, song, work of musician) s/he and/or his/her Stand is named after.

Do they like it or not?

>>84946
I am... unsure of how to feel about the uhihihihi.

This... looked a lot better when it was just art. Here he looks like he's dressed like a Fresh Prince character.

>>84958

Knowing Joseph? That's probably what he was going for.

jojo３部アニメ化決定

磯部の重大発表も確認し忘れた

>jojo３部アニメ化決定
It's actually happening, guys. We're getting SDC.

>>85134
Can't wait for Stone Ocean, it's one of my favorite parts but Japan doesn't appreciate it nearly as much as it should, probably because it has too many girls. Maybe when they animate Stone Ocean it'll finally get some proper appreciation over there. It worked with the first season.

>>85134
Ahaha. And those troll anime lists that included Jojo part 3 and all those other impossibilities were just circulating a few days ago.

So, which part do you think is going to make for the hardest/weirdest adaptation?

>It's actually happening, guys. We're getting SDC.

Really? Like... SERIOUSLY?! Wat...?

That would be pretty ironic. I've been wanting it for freaking months, and actually decided to start reading the manga. As I'm going through Part 3, I'm thinking "Why not? It's not like the anime will start up again a week after I finish..." which is pretty much exactly what happened.


Anyway, I hope they do a faithful adaptation of pretty much all of it, even if it would end up extremely long. The OVA was great and all, but skipped 90% of the Stands and all of the subtlety. More importantly, it skipped all of the FUNNY shit. Like the stupid dude with the Sun. And the baby. And Polnareff being turned into a naked 10-year-old. And Hol Horse making an epic comeback... only to shoot himself. I want to see all that stuff, too.

I'm rather lukewarm about Part 3 overall and consider it to be one of the weakest parts, but I'm pumped as hell for the anime if only so I can finally see this one fight in all its animated glory.

>>85135
Speaking of which:

>start reading Jojolion
>NOT MAH JOSUKE!
>NOT MAH MORIOH!
>NOT MAH CRAZY DIAMOND!
>following chapter
>NAKED CHICK IN BATHTUB!
>WITH EXPOSED TAH-TAHS!!!
>everything is forgiven

This has the makings of greatness.

>>85143
Part 7, due to how slow it starts. Plus, all those horses...they're probably going to be using a LOT of CG if they ever get around to Steel Ball Run.

As for weird? While Part 5 is one of the most beloved Jojo parts (its own video game while 2, 4, 6 and 7 never got any during or after their run!) in Japan, its awkward pace and fractured story (compared to the episodic Part 4 and the other more straightforward parts) may require some rewriting to make it work as a television show/movie series.

That said, I hope Part 4 gets adapted, even if it wasn't the most popular of the Jojo parts over there.

YES! YES! YES! Oh•My•God

Pre-SBR Dio's probably the least clever of the main Jojo antagonists revealed so far. For all his talk of tactics and intellect, his campaigns in Phantom Blood and Stardust Crusaders revolve around being OP (and having dumb luck nearly on par with Pocoloco). Instead of using his powers creatively besides the part with the knives, he simply believes (can a monkey defeat a man?! Which is, by itself, an idiotic argument as a lot of monkeys can) that brute forcing things once he gets to a position of strength is all he needs in comparison to his fellow villains with the freezing touch being the only brilliant thing he's ever done. Even the Pillar Men and Kira, who had the most overtly destructive abilities showcased so far, still deigned to use those skills strategically.

>>85173

I never thought Dio was very clever. Occasionally, yes, but not any more than anyone else, and usually less than everyone else. I guess it's hard to stand out as smart in a series where absolutely everyone is fighting with insane gambits and tactics and subterfuge. The only really intelligent thing I remember from SDC was when he knocked Jotaro to the ground and wanted to see if he was really dead.

*Jotaro holds his breath*
Dio: Hm, he's not breathing. Better check his heartbeat.
*Jotaro stops his heart*
Dio: Hm, his heart isn't beating, either. Must be dead. But just in case, I'll chop his head off from a distance! *trollface*

Though that's more being Genre Savvy than clever. He even said it himself with that line about Jostars being lucky — it's not a much farther leap to start leaning on the fourth wall by saying they can't die because they are the protagonists.

>>85173
Dumb Luck is a large part of Araki's writing, he writes himself into corners alot trying to be too clever then has to pull something out of his ass.

>That said, there are a couple of interesting aspects to the game’s localization. For one thing, Namco Bandai are working with JoJo publisher Shueisha to make sure that the localized names for the characters fit with Hirohiko Araki’s intentions “while not offending any party”. Additionally, the localized names will be matched to the U.S. and European versions of the recent anime to ensure consistency.

Hoo boy, time for name changes. And for that matter, the possibility that they're bringing the anime series over as well.

>For one thing, Namco Bandai are working with JoJo publisher Shueisha to make sure that the localized names for the characters fit with Hirohiko Araki’s intentions “while not offending any party”.

I'm cautious yet optimistic.

>>85199
The only ones I really see this applying to are the Prince references and some of the more blatant band and song names like Red Hot Chili Pepper, Sheer Heart Attack, and Dirty Deeds Done Cheap.

http://vorked.tumblr.com/post/65186448025
Holy crap, this is seriously cool.

The joke is that they have the same VA.

You know, besides the obvious one.

>San Tan
What the fuck, the word "santana" is an actual part of the Spanish laguage and it's even acknowledged within the text. Why would they need to change it then?

ジョジョキュア
JoJo - Part 3 TV Anime Confirm…

http://engawa.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/poverty/1384609294/

-Will begin airing Spring 2014
-new seiyuus, doesn't specify who will be returning
-The seiyuus will be announced at Jump Festa
-anime wants to do it's own thing, possibility of characters being cut is sadly possible
-David really wants to animate the more violent fights

Aww, I'm too attached to the ASB voices. They're all so perfect.

I wonder if this is our final Boss, Cellophane Strangulation powers are a bit unfitting a JoJo's final boss, especially against an ability like Gappy's though maybe his powers are less limited than they seem.

>>85717
Severely, severely doubt it. He's probably just the next Stand User of the Two Months, and possibly the Rohan expy.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>85986
Holy shit they look great.

Any news on whether the ending theme will still be Roundabout?

>>86000
I imagine it will be different, but no news yet. How amazing would it be if the ending theme was Holy Diver?

http://onepixeljump.com/2013/12/22/jojos-bizarre-adventure-stardust-crusaders-the-animation-official-pv-1-and-core-cast-voices/

Aww, they changed all the VAs aside from Jotaro and Dio. While I can understand changing Joseph so Sugita won't kill himself trying to do that voice for 2+ whole seasons it's still a shame since I loved all the ones from the game.

First PV for Stardust Crusaders and it looks like they finally have a decent budget:

>>87307
I wonder if they're going to change up who voices the side guys like Hol Horse.

Abdul teaser

Looks like the OP for Stardust is going to be "Stand Proud" by Jin Hashimoto. Anybody know what else he's done?

Also the soundtrack is going to be done by Yugo Kanno from PSYCHO-PASS, and considering the music was pretty good I'm looking forward to it.

>>87753
Wait are these official translations?

>>87753
Pretty sure he was a Kamen Rider music guy, dunno what else he's done, kinda metal 80's feel to his music if I remember.

>>87753
Hashimoto tends to go for campy pop styled stuff so I expect the opening will probably be a mix of Phantom Blood's and Battle Tendency's, but leaning towards the former.

空条承太郎 ＆ スタープラチナ
soon

Whoa, fuck, we've just gone FMA.

>>87813
Eh, Fate/Stay Night and I'm sure a lot of other media used the exact same phrase before, "Touka Koukan" and all.

>"Touka Koukan"

I think the phrase's meaning is closest to the Latin "quid pro quo", which can be loosely translated into English as "something for something". It can also be called "equal exchange" or "tit for tat" or other such things. "Equivalent Exchange" is just the translation popularized by FMA that a lot of people think of, but it is by no means exclusive.

STARDUST CRUSADERS TONIGHT!!!

SC in like, two hours actually. Cr is doing some kind of subbed simulstream.

Fuck yeah actual decent budget.

>>88064

Kinda sad that the episode was too long for us to get proper opening/ending themes. I was really looking forward to that. Guess we have to wait until next week.


Also, I started reading Part 4, and I've read like half of it in the last two days... WHY IS THIS MANGA SO DAMN GOOD?!

(Anyway, it bothers me that Araki is seemingly unable to design a proper teenager. Koichi is supposed to be 5'2" compared to Josuke's 5'10", but he consistently looks four feet tall and about eight-years-old while Josuke and Jotaro look about seven feet tall and twenty-years-old. The other high school boys are the same. Either they're adult-sized or they're child-sized. In a manga with otherwise superb artwork, it's something that's always irked me.)

>>88076
Did you read Duwang or is there a good version of part 4 now?

>>88068
Awww yis.

>>88077
There's a person redoing part 4 here http://donebetterelsewhere.blogspot.com/
Up to volume 44 currently.
Here a mediafire account with a lot of JoJo stuff on it http://www.mediafire.com/ArakiCollection#4gnihlcgwhw1p

>>88076
IIRC, there's also the villain-to-friend guy who had the puppet-like stand - he started out like a short teenager, and as the series went on became a little munchkin like Koichi.

>>88077
>a good version of part 4
>implying duwang is not one of the finest gifts to the jojo fandom

>>88082

I think you're thinking of the magnet guy, not the puppet guy. I don't think puppet guy came back.

No, wait, it was a padlock, not a magnet.

>>88084
No, he did. Checked the wiki, his name was Toshikazu Hazamada and his stand was Surface. He didn't appear much after his battle and generally sucked up to Koichi.

Song's not as good but the OP itself rules.

Real ED is due out in episode 3.

Awww, yeah, OP is a letdown.

Phantom Blood op still undisputed champ.

>>88167
I like Bloody Stream the best overall. Sono Chi No Sadame is a slightly better song but not as good for easy listening and the animation isn't nearly as good.

3rd intro is good but nowhere near as fabulous as part 2

I didn't realize it until someone pointed it out but when Jotaro got home, he didn't just take off his shoes, he took off Kakoyin's.

>>88169
I dunno why people had such a boner for part 2's theme, I didn't think it had shit on
>SO
>NO
>CHI
>NO
>SA-DA-ME
>JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>jo

>>88182
It's also the only good part of the song.

>>88185
bad taste

I think I might actually like the Phantom Blood poster most. It's just so simple.

>>88194
I liked this version of the Jojolion panel better, not as spoileriffic.

>>88182
honestly it was the bright over the top colors and style of part 2s intro that I love more than the song

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Star…
Ending of the year.

>>88265
OKAY THAT'S A GREAT PICK

>>88265
this fucking show wont stop being awesome

>>88265
I feel like I should have seen this coming. Or that anyone should have. But it seems everyone was stuck on Roundabout or a Dio song.

I love you Jojo.

Now that I think about Holy Diver it really should be saved for part 6.

>>88270
I actually didn't even knew what to expect.

>>88271
Funny that you mention it, a lot of people wanted Holy Diver as an ending, and I've been seeing their delicious tears.

>>88182
It was the acid trip vampire hunter James Bond vibe and those sexy, sexy silhouettes.

>>88290
Funny you talk about acid trips.

The full version of Stand Proud is approximately four hundred and fifty six trillion times better than the intro version, to the point where I can't figure out how they fucked up the intro sample so bad.

>>88308

>this is only the third time I've crashed a plane in my life!
Well played Joseph.

I just finished reading Stardust Crusaders.

I'm kind of sad old man Joseph isn't as clever or witty as he used to be. He never once does that trick where he predicts the opponent's lines before they do. And the one time he does something clever, against D'arby, he actually gets out-witted.

Other than that, pretty good. The show is going to need a second season or cut out a lot of the fights.

>>88353
It's 26 minimum, most people thing we're looking at 39.

SC's alright but it can't get over that Jotaro's the worst Jojo.

>>88354
And yet, he is one of the most popular JoJos.

>>88354
Gappy is the worst JoJo.

Jotaro is hilarious once you learn two things about him, his behavior is actually the result of being shy and unable to deal with attention well and that his greatest passion in life is marine biology.

The best Jojo is Jolyne.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o93pEXZ-sM

>>88358
Nah he stays pretty annoying the whole time.

Still a badass though, credit where it's due.

>>88356
I blame SC's popularity on being the starting point for Stands and Jotaro's own is a combination of that and his cool look. Even compared to his costar in SC he's not as fun (Pol was my favorite in the OVA but it's been a long time so maybe I'll feel differently now).

>>88353
Yes he did, against The Empress.

>>88354
Giorno is still lamer. Jotaro might be an ass but he gets some pretty great moments and he's a lot more entertaining in Part 4.

Is there a way I can watch Stardust Crusaders free and legally the way I watch One Piece on Hulu?

>>88368

I'm pretty sure you can watch it free on Crunchyroll so long as you're willing to wait until the week after it airs.

>>88369
I'm down with that.

What's the best sub group right now? I was using horriblesubs but I can't handle then translating "zanzou" as "shadow clone."

>>88405
Crunchyroll for saving me the harddrive space.
And the whole being legit thing.
