Support NeoGAF

[Werewolf Jones]

Yoooooo, apparently a full translation of Purple Haze Feedback got released today :O

Downloaded it just now, gonna give it a read later, I've grown interested in this story since Fugo dropped in ASB.

 

[RecursiveFault]

From the tumblrverse:

"During his odyssey, our main hero will encounter fierce and tricky foes such as San Tan, Wamuu, Esidisi and Kars!"

Queue upset

Spoiler

Also "Avdol"

 

[Erigu]

Spoiler

Also "Avdol"

That would be correct.
The only problem would be "San Tan" / "Santana", here.

 

[SolarKnight]

I don't understand San Tan, I mean, even if it's meant to be a musical reference it's outright said in story to refer to the Mexican historcal figure AND it's also an actual name.

 

[Zonic]

I don't even recall him being in the game as one of those support character/someone on the menus. Is he only mentioned via Story Mode's text?

 

[RecursiveFault]

It's personally grating, no matter how correct it is or isn't, I'm irrationally preferential of Abdul.

 

[Erigu]

It actually says it's the name of a Mexican wind (and it really isn't... I guess there would be that, but...).

I don't even recall him being in the game as one of those support character/someone on the menus. Is he only mentioned via Story Mode's text?

Could be. Then again, the same summary says the characters go to Austria, so...

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I actually thought San Tan was gonna be a replacement for Wang Chung then I completely forgot about Santana entirely. lol. Maybe he'll be in ASB2?

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Is ASB2 really going to happen?

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Is ASB2 really going to happen?

Yes, but it will be called Our Stall Better 2.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

The game sold well enough in Japan, so possibly some time in the future and the game still won't get Diego.

BAH GOD!

King Crimson in action.

Late but but whatevs

Downloaded it just now, gonna give it a read later, I've grown interested in this story since Fugo dropped in ASB.

Mind PMing me to where I can read it please?

 

[jgminto]

I'd waifu Speedwagon

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Like 2/3 through Purple Haze Feedback and while in some ways I've enjoyed it mostly on fleshing out Fugo the actual main story has been rather... disappointing.

 

[Beckx]

Reposting for new page: is the Super Famicom JoJo's game any good? It's only 9 bucks, so maybe worth checking out anyway.

 

[Gazoinks]

Wooah. So the Jojo wiki just pointed something out to me: (Part 3 & 6)

Spoiler

Remember how Boingo predicted Jotaro dying by his face being sliced in half? Remember how Jotaro died in Stone Ocean? It's cool Araki remembered that to use as a callback. (I'm assuming it wasn't a coincidence, at least)

You mean this? Obvious spoilers.

 

[SolarKnight]

Yeah that

Boingo also predicted 9/11 or something

 

[Werewolf Jones]

WHAAAAT. Maybe Araki is immortal after all.

Wow, never noticed that/completely forgot about that part. Really cool throw back.

Boingo also predicted 9/11 or something

Wait, WHAT.

 

[SolarKnight]

Something about that one mangaka that was annoying him having a 9-11 shirt dying at the same time one of the buildings collapsed and the way it was drawn on Boingo's stand with the pole and the body being upright and parallel representing the towers while a plane laughs in the distance

Or something :v

 

[Urban Scholar]

latest chapter of Jojolion was...oh boy...dark places....brahs...dark places.

Spoiler

The attempted rape by Joshuu, I feel was a device to show while yes he's not "perfect" because no one is. He has some darksides to him but then it was 1uped by the people whom were going to drug Yasuho

I said holy s@#$ it left her very vulnerable and she literally walked into dangers hands.

 

[SolarKnight]

Last chapter's raws upset me to the point I have yet to read the translation D:

 

[Urban Scholar]

solar check your PMs

 

[Gazoinks]

I think it might be time to actually catch up to Jojolion now.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Confession

I miss Araki's pre-Gio artstyle

You know what I mean. Angular heads, square-ish jaws, a bit more defined heads...

 

[LoftyTheMetroid]

Random thought: When the hell are we going to see the stand Thriller? I thought it would have happened by now. (Would have been a good name for Limp Bizkit's ability...)

I wanna see a major villain with Thriller. Maybe

Spoiler

papa Higashikata

...?

That's probably the most unsurprising confession ever.

 

[SolarKnight]

Seconding that

 

[Gazoinks]

My only real problem with Araki's current style is the Sameface Syndrome (tm).

 

[jgminto]

Yeah there is a bit of sameface in the good characters. When Sandman was shown at the start of SBR I thought he was a Joestar.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wait, it was a common train of thought?

 

[jgminto]

It's kinda obvious you'd like this:

over this:

 

[fertygo]

Sameface? not seeing that, he trying hard to have everyone have unique facial feature if anything.
I'm more concerned, he can't draw female face without look kinda like man anymore..

I miss the female art in early to mid Stone Ocean, and suddenly Jolyne buff her face the fuck up.

It's kinda obvious you'd like this:


over this:

I like the bottom more. I think fashion aside, part 5 to early part 6 have the best facial art.. Its also have some moment in Late SBR

 

[jgminto]

Yasuho and the Higashikata girls look plenty feminine.

 

[fertygo]

Yasuho and the Higashikata girls look plenty feminine.

Its getting better I must admit though, the girls just having rough moment in late part of SO to SBR.

 

[jgminto]

Well I think Jolyne looked more masculine near the end to seem more intimidating/powerful

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

It's kinda obvious you'd like this:


over this:

Sooooooooooooooooooo glad they changed Josuke's look

Why the hell does he look like a cyborg in his first design

 

[Boss Doggie]

I shudder to think how characters like Kakyoin, Abdol, and Will would look like in his new style.

 

[jgminto]

 

[JohnDoe]

Am I the only one who likes post part 5 artstyle the most? My favorite is definitely part 7.

 

[fertygo]

I shudder to think how characters like Kakyoin, Abdol, and Will would look like in his new style.

Avdol look just fine in SBR

Questioning Kakyoin is a bit weird though, considering he have typical Araki bishi boy look.
Hell Annasui practically looked like him.

Am I the only one who likes post part 5 artstyle the most? My favorite is definitely part 7.

Subjective preference aside, Old School Araki's art is pretty common for manga from that era, hell like we already know he took a note from Fist of the North Star. For his modern style, its certainly more authentic.. I can't think someone else that using similar style.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh yeah the both look okay.

Avdol look just fine in SBR

Questioning Kakyoin is a bit weird though, considering he have typical Araki bishi boy look.

Kakyoin has that angular triangle head as well as detailed brows and nose. You won't see that head shape and face detail much in his new art.

 

[SolarKnight]

Oh yeah the both look okay.

Yeah, personally, Jonathan is the only one I never like at all when he draws him in the new style.

 

[fertygo]

What kind of name "Kakyoin"" anyway? Anybody could explain?
Always sound weirder to me than those band pun as name.

 

[Jocchan]

If I recall correctly, there's a Kakyoin Plaza in Sendai, Araki's hometown.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

All of the re-drawn characters look fine, I do agree with Johnathan being the only one that looks kinda bad though. He looks like a starved manlet compared to his original Vampire Fist of the North Star self.

 

[SolarKnight]

Let's not even mention the Jonathan in the redrawn cover for Phantom Blood he did which I'd link if only I could find the damn thing again :|

Dio also looked like Diavolo

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wait, what does Kakyoin in new artstyle looks like?

Also at what age did Joseph made love to Josuke's mother anyway? So weird to see Jotaro seeing Josuke as his uncle.
