Jotaro is freaking owning that white outfit

Jojaro is freaking owning that white outfit

People can hate on Jotaro all they want, but the man can dress.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

i love JotaaDuu

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Based dolphin outfit

 

[Magwik]

Jotaro's clothing has more personality than he does.

 

[Numb]

The fab modelling outfits of Jojo characters are the last to be judged. Too wild and awesome.
Like they on a runaway with even better posing

 

[Hands of Stone]

It's the twin peaks/simpsons of Jojo.

Makes me even more excited.

 

[Lumination]

Guys, I found our perfect ED https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KcIWlB019pM


That's actually a perfect explanation for it. Goofy protagonist and back to more absurdist/surrealist humor (it quickly sheds the typical shonen "HAHA look at how STUPID Hol Horse is HAHAHAHA" shit that part 3 had). Like part 2 is to part 1, it also builds on part 3's ideas in a significant manner by having a more "crafty" protagonist and methodical villains(I think). Big differences are that it's probably the least asspulley Jojo at that time (asspulls made p2 amazing mind you), and in stark contrast with p2's straightforward and all meat no filler overarching plot, p4 literally has next to none until a certain event.imo That's made up for with the compact setting with reoccurring minor characters.

The best way to approach part 4 is to know that, unlike the other 3 parts, it's very "slice of life" without much of a central plot aside from a few threads that pick up later on. It's kind of "monster of the week", even more so than part 3, but I think it flows better because there's a lot of variety and it's fun to see the community of Morioh become so fleshed out.

It's the twin peaks/simpsons of Jojo.

Ahhh crap. I really liked the pacing in Parts 1 and 2. I really dislike monster of the week. I guess I'll see!

 

[J@hranimo]

After binging the first 3 parts late last year, I'm super pumped for this.

Bring on that intro!!!

 

[Hatty]

I dont think I'm prepared for people to complain about "filler" while missing the point of the series

 

[Thud]

ready to duwang

That's what I love about Araki's character designs. They all feel unique and all of them could pass off as main characters. Jotaro (part 3) and Josuke's clothes are bascially school uniforms, but they have more style than most other characters in manga and anime.

 

[Fandangox]

Me tomorrow

im ready

 

[Nottle]

People hate on Koichi? Smfh.

Along with a character that appears a little later on he is sort of this parts Ceasar or Polnareff. The guy that actually has more interesting things to do than the main hero.

 

[Madao]

so hyped for tomorrow. i might have problems to sleep tonight.

People got really mad at Part 3 for being an bizarre adventure series despite the series being called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

There is no filler in JoJo, the meat of the series is in the individual encounters. A majority of the best encounters in the whole series are one-off characters who have no real bearing on the overall arc.

Fav character designs
No limits. Starts as fab Fist of the north star and they keep getting more skinny and crazy

 

[Grexeno]

Oh I can't believe this is happening.

 

[Lunar15]

Ahhh crap. I really liked the pacing in Parts 1 and 2. I really dislike monster of the week. I guess I'll see!

For what it's worth, I loved part 1 and 2 and found part 3 somewhat disappointing. Part 4 immediately became my favorite Jojo when I read it. I didn't expect to like the slice of life approach, but I ended up really liking Morioh and its denizens.

Now that I've read everything, I think part 7 is the best, but Part 4 is probably the second best in my book. Part 2 is third.

 

[diamond_is_not_crash]

So pumped! Friday can't come fast enough.

 

[Ad0ve]

Do you guys think we will get the opening tomorrow, or will they wait for the second episode

Yep. Whole heartedly agree. And he keeps topping himself.

Do you guys think we will get the opening tomorrow, or will they wait for the second episode

Hopefully tomorrow. With a name like Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town I'm hoping it impresses.

 

[diamond_is_not_crash]

Does anyone have any ideas on what the outro might be?

Why not pick one of the top charting singles of 1999?

 

[Frozenprince]

Second best JoJo and best Sidekick (based Okuyasu).

GET HYPE.

Jotaro is freaking owning that white outfit

That outfit is the hypest shit.

Wasted on worst protag, but man is it hype.

 

[Hands of Stone]

Why not pick one of the top charting singles of 1999?

YES!

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I will say that it pleases me how David Pro continues to improve each season. They may not get everything 100% but this wouldn't be a cash-cow for them if they weren't doing things with the source material that you don't see very often.

You mean Back that ass up right

Spoiler

nice choice

The subtle changes in the art style the whole way have been perfect.

It's definitely helped. Part 4's manga art-style took on a more rounded cartoon style but David smoothed it out a bit more for animation.

I've seen complaints about this and while I understand, sometimes Stardust Crusaders ran into an issue where all of the characters needed all of their facial details from the manga and it looked off.

It seems to have paid off animation wise, there are way more inbetweens in those previews.

 

[Tecl0n]

....this is perfect.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I unironically love Smash Mouth's "All-Star"

 

[Frozenprince]

I'll just say it.

Smash Mouth is a good band. They've got a bunch of really solid songs.

 

[Numb]

I unironically love Smash Mouth's "All-Star"

Breaks down the defences the more you listen
Jojo All-Star battle was garbage tbh. Lots of fanservice tho

 

[RubberLuffy]

Following up a classic like Roundabout, a fun song like Walk Like An Egyptian and a classy smooth song like Last Train Home with fucking All Star would be criminal.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

If I'm being serious, the end song I always wanted was Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town"

Like, listen to the lyrics, it's PERFECT.

 

[Nightbird]

When can I expect the episode to be online?
Any good estimates?

Damn, get out of my mind

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I kind of want the outro to be Pat Benatar's Invincible.

 

[chaobreaker]

Shit, first episode is airing tomorrow?

WHY WAS I NOT TOLD THIS?

 

[YuriLowell]

So do we know what time its going to be up on Crunchyroll tomorrow?

 

[Lunar15]

Damn, get out of my mind

Don't get me wrong though. Depending on the day, Stone Ocean is right up there.

 

[Squishy3]

So do we know what time its going to be up on Crunchyroll tomorrow?

Time's still TBA but I'd guess 12:30PM EST like Stardust Crusaders was.

 

[Zero315]

Are they still streaming it given that Viz has the streaming license now?

 

[YuriLowell]

Are they still streaming it given that Viz has the streaming license now?

OP says that crunchyroll is streaming it.

 

[Frozenprince]

Are they still streaming it given that Viz has the streaming license now?

Yep. Don't know if it'll still be simulcast, though.

 

[Squishy3]

Yep. Don't know if it'll still be simulcast, though.

Still simulcast.

 

[Gaston]

Really hoping for less filler and low-brow humor than Part 3. But give me good music and posing and I'll stick around anyway!

 

[Zero315]

OP says that crunchyroll is streaming it.

Yep. Don't know if it'll still be simulcast, though.

Cool, I need to hurry and finish season 3. Kinda hoping it pops up on Hulu so I don't have to renew my crunchyroll membership.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Can't wait for the greatness that is part 4 which is only 2nd to part 7 after waiting so long for it. Here's hoping we might see cameo from a certain character from part 6.
