They've cast Ai Fairouz as Jolyene Kujo. That's actually inspired.

She's a relatively new voice actress, who has a very distinct voice and is actually perfect for this.

Also, apparently pretty soon Viz's translation of Diamond is Unbreakable will be complete, so I will finally be able to sit down and read it from beginning to end!

so is this the part that has FILTHY ACTS AT A REASONABLE PRICE or does that come later
Nope this has ZEPPLIN WON'T ALLOW THIS SO ANOTHER QUEEN REFERENCE.

I only know two times the stand name had to be changed in Japan. The second one went from a prog album I was unfamiliar with to a Lady Gaga song.

The fact that Araki hasn't designed clothes for Gag seems wrong somehow.

Really happy to see this happening! Was kinda worried we wouldn’t hear anything about part 6 for a few more years.

I started rewatching in this from the beginning recently.

Even though Phantom Blood is easily the weakest story arc, it’s still got everything I love about JJBA in a tight 8 episodes; everyone’s emotional reaction to everything is cranked up to 11, a narrator who over explains everything and is incredibly jazzed about all of it and a dub that’s pretty inconsistent with what musical references are acceptable.

Tarkus becomes Tarukus, but Tom Petty and REO SPEEDWAGON are completely fine.

In conclusion; Yes More
 
Part 4 has some rough parts in the animation department. But the story/setting/characters is probably JoJo at its best, ya. I'm so excited for Octo to get to see this finally!

elementary my dear baxter
I have also watched Phantom Blood so far and I kind of absolutely loved it. Such a weird, earnest show with so much manly emotions but in an often surprisingly non toxic way and Jesus Christ, JESUS CHRIST that opening sequence is such an absolute banger. I'm trying not to spoil them but I get an impression that all the future openings go for a much more kind of smooth and jazzy tone but I am here for this crazy gay spoiler filled rock opera shit. I watch it all the way through every time and get seriously pumped for whatever rapidfire human drama or episode-long talky fight they have in store for me.

Are music rights different in Japan than the U.S.? Venture Bros. infamously had to use a fifth or so of the budget for season 2 to play Everybody’s Free, a song only club people might know exist.

One of my favorite things in the world is seeing PB stans who haven't watched much past that. Like, I love PB, but it's clearly the weakest part by a MILE, by dozens of miles. I'm excited for y'all

Edit: They translated Jotaro's job as "maritime adventurer"

BUCKLE UP FOLKS, these are gonna be SOME subtitles

Okay, Battle Tendency is done. This show starts off great and every consequential season is an order of magnitude better. Excited to let Stardust Crusaders wash over me like a bonkers fever dream.

Diamond will have an uphill battle for me as it lacks Joseph Joestar which is a tragedy

I won't spoil anything but I will say that you need to see Diamond is Unbreakable. YOU of all people need to see Diamond if Unbreakable. You won't be disappointed. It will not be an uphill battle, it will be the Winter Olympics. It will be the slalom and ski jump combined, also snowboards! DOWNHILL

I have no reason to disbelieve any of you, but Joe is my favourite JoJo.

And while I’ve already been proven wrong when I’ve said it twice, it defies belief that a show can got more gloriously bonkers than Stardust Crusaders.

Again, I fully expect to be proven wrong
 
If you think Stardust Crusaders is bonkers now, just wait until you get to the back half. The first half of the show is weird stuff but it’s like bland mayo compared to the back half that might as well be ghost peppers by comparison.
