Yn-neko hates a JoJo

 

[Soma]

This show just keeps on giving.

And only one episode has aired.

 

[Uchip]

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 01

It's gonna suck real bad when this show bombs. Shit was manly and fabulous and probably twenty years too late.

Erina was pretty moé though.

Spoiler

And Danny. ;_;

don't say these things!

 

[fertygo]

you're not cool if making joke of JoJo.

Three fairly recent examples of their work would be Episode 9 of The iDOLM@STER, Episode 18 of Penguin Drum, and Episode 9 of Mysterious Girlfriend X

edit: oh and the op for ninja tits lolololol

Those episode with them were usually one of the best in the series itself. Hence the hype. (explaining a bit to Articalys)

 

[firehawk12]

But Yamauchi sucks. I'm just drawing out his fans so I can mock them all at the same time!

It was all an elaborate troll?

 

[duckroll]

Depends on which side you're on!

Pretty much. It's gonna own so hard!

 

[Articalys]

Thank you to all for the explanation.

Yn-neko hates a JoJo

I can't figure out how you guys can even like it ironically. It's like people got together and defecated on a plate and took into a restaurant in order to convince people it was food. In an attempt to be apathetic, I can see how someone might watch to see just how deep this will go to the bottom.

Weirdly enough the biggest joke is...

Aww who am I kidding? This is the best series ever made!

Spoiler

My fingers and my eyes bleed ;_;

Maybe if you have shitty taste! Lolol.

Yamauchi SMELLS! He even admitted his last series was a failure because he SUCKED!

ying and yang yo

Because its actually have a Man and Villain on it.

The manga's legendary for a reason.

Its ok, I don't know how you like some stuff that you mentioning here either.

Well...

Really? Is there any specific issue you have with it other than errr.... that vivid analogy?

 

[wonzo]

Chu2 Lite 2

welp, there goes any chance of her winning any newtype character poll

 

[yn-neko hates a cat]

This Hanna-Barbera level shit? Please! The villain has about as much complexity as Skeletor and the show's animation isn't that far off either >_>

The main character is a bafoon and the "Villain" is predictable. I must be missing some back-story to the Jojo universe because I'm not getting it.

 

[cajunator]

I haven't seen JoJo yet but I tend to trust Animegafs opinion of whats good.
If they are enjoying it, its likely to have some redeeming values.

 

[Reknoc]

JoJo 1

Perfect. Getting though the boring stuff as fast as possible and making it enjoyable and still show what a massive cockface Dio is.

Can't wait for next week, Speedwagon swoon~ Considering how they used stills in this Speedwagon should be great.

I'm not dropping it just yet but I'm not inlove with the style at all. I almost feel like the positive reactions are some inside joke I feel really confused but it's got little to do with the show oddly enough.

It's a superhero comic.

thanks for reminding me of just how awful Dream Eater Merry was

 

[Dresden]

Fuck the haters, midriff merry was fine for like half its run.

 

[Reknoc]

Oh yea, and we can add JoJo to the list of animes using awesome British bands for OP/EDs.

 

[yn-neko hates a cat]

It's a superhero comic.

Hmmm… So it's deliberately trying to be campy. That explains some of it. I’ll try to approach episode 2 with that in mind.

Well it certainly looks fabulous, and animegaf likes fabulous art design. Ill have to give it a watch in about an hour.

SPEEDWAGON YEEEEESSSSS

You didn't get the fact it's deliberately over the top when Dio backflipped out of his horse cart and this happened?

The series didn't even really get started this week, and it's foolish to judge the whole thing this early. It only gets better and better from here, and IMO despite my love for the source material, that was a damn strong and engaging first ep.

 

[cajunator]

Dream Eater Merry is good.

 

[fertygo]

The main character is a bafoon and the "Villain" is predictable. I must be missing some back-story to the Jojo universe because I'm not getting it.

and yet there is few villain that as iconic as Dio Brando.

Btw its from superhero comic, just like Fist of the North Star.. some muscular guy will pull crazy rambo shit left and right.

Many people like it because the old-school factor. Its seem you're more into these day type of anime, so its understandable you not like it.

 

[Jex]

It doesn't feel like it's written to be deliberately 'camp' (whatever that means) rather it's written in such a manner that people feel that it's 'camp'. It's just a particular style of writing.

 

[wonzo]

Fuck the haters, midriff merry was fine for like half its run.

yeah but then the second half happened...

Spoiler

i really should start reading the manga someday

Oh yea, and we can add JoJo to the list of animes using awesome British bands for OP/EDs.

It's a shame the animation for the ED couldn't be as awesome as Roundabout.

 

[Basileus777]

The somewhat angsty opening and setup isn't really why people love Jojo. If that episode is your first exposure to it, I can understand not seeing the appeal.

 

[Canis lupus]

Time to watch some Detroit Metal City!

 

[yn-neko hates a cat]

Time to watch some Detroit Metal City!

Is this your first time seeing the series?

Now this is a hilarious series right here.
So awesome.
Dont bust a gut.

Symphogear is actually getting a second season? Wow.

 

[Moral Panic]

DMC! DMC! DMC!

I was thinking of writing my favourite lyrics but I remembered this is GAF!

Lots if regular IG staff and a bunch of SAC guys. Nothing particularly groundbreaking here, but I think they have a pretty stable team working on it. The director of ep1 is pretty interesting though...

One of my favourite mangas ever.
Didn't watch the anime though.

 

[wonzo]

dmc is pretty moe~

What animation?

panning a camera across an static image with some animated overlay counts. kinda...

Spoiler

It worked for Iblard Time!!!

 

[Grzi]

Will JoJo be the show to bring a bunch of new people to AnimeGAF?
Looks like it could happen.

I still need to watch the episode later today, I'm dying here, can't wait.

This is pretty accurate. Jojo isnt parody. It's actual cheese. The fact that it's cheese isn't a knock against it because it does the larger-than-life aspects of the characters and story really well.

 

[wsippel]

Symphogear is actually getting a second season? Wow.

The soundtrack at least sold very well, no? Anyway, it was kinda expected after seeing the epilogue.

They've got their own thread! Heck, there was two threads for a little while.

Many people like it because the old-school factor. Its seem you're more into these day type of anime, so its understandable you not like it.

My style of old-school resonates with things like Brother, Dear Brother and Cashern's Sin. I love me some Kenshiro too. This first episode just didn't hit me well.

The somewhat angsty opening and setup isn't really why people love Jojo. If that episode is your first exposure to it, I can understand not understand the appeal.

The time-skip they seem to be setting up for suggest a shift in focus. Perhaps with the perspective being offered by people here, there may still be hope for me with this series. A person certainly can't like everything but I'd like to at least be able to understand what others find appealing about it. I just can't remember the last time I had such a vitriolic reaction to an anime

Spoiler

(School Days but not because it was a bad series... I just hated the male lead)

Thanks for the feedback folks.

Just wait until Nisekoi gets an anime adaptation.
