Already aired, you can see the reactions here.
I think the only difference between the test dub & this version was they got the narrator from Parts 1 & 2 to return, where in the test dub, it was someone else.

Something about the way "bitch" is delivered in English makes me pause. Maybe it's because it's my native language, or maybe it's the way Mercer delivers it, but it comes off as less amusing this time around.
Luckily it only happens two more times (although the anime made the plane scene come off worse than it did in the manga.

It's mostly the disconnect you get from reading it in subtitles over actually hearing it in your native language, yeah. It's usually worth trying to watch a show in dub if it has a good one for that reason, heh.
I've always thought it was about Jotaro being literally a rebellious teen delinquent, since that's the kind of shit they do.

That I get, it'll just take a bit to adjust.
And is it one of those situations where Japanese is super contextual so "bitch" is being used when Jotaro is just aggressively saying woman or something?

Considering how I understand that Japanese doesn't have any real swearing unlike English it's possible
He's literally saying "Shut up, woman!", but saying that on its own is...quite rude, so while 'bitch' might be a bit too harsh as a translation, it's pretty close.
(The usual neutral word is a compound that literally means 'female person', if you're wondering.)
(The usual neutral word is a compound that literally means 'female person', if you're wondering.)
Pretty much a common localization thing from what I understand since Japanese has a lack of swearing and a lot of the characters are just being rude they tend to use harsh language as an easy replacement since it conveys the same from what I understand
Japanese doesn't have swears in the sense that English has phrases like "Fuck you, Dio!", but you can phrase things in a way that basically is swearing.
So it should be translated that way, anime and manga just tend not to because official translations are usually toned down and fan translations are usually too literal.
edit: ...and probably doesn't help that a lot of fan-translations don't understand context and add too much swearing.

Probably due to fan translations prioritising speed and "adult" over accuracy
They're not going to risk trying to ask Steely Dan (the band) for permission. They're very stingy about that I've heard. Like Prince stingy.
I'm still curious if King Crimson will remain when Vento Aureo is finally adapted, since Robert Fripp knows about it (and loves it)

It couldn't hurt to just go straight to him and ask.

Been reading SDC again for the anime.
How the hell did he crank these out on a weekly schedule? Oh sure there's some cut corners, wonky as shit anatomy, and a lot of deliberate close ups, but as a whole it's remarkably detailed. Avdol vs Polnareff in the Garden for instance has some beautiful panels.

Donald Fagen would legit sue and Dan of Steel is legit.
He even knows how it works. Regarding Steely Dan...I don't think the band itself cares...it's Donald Fagen that's the problem...actually the band itself rotates in and out, I think it's mostly two main people.

I think that episode of the anime might have had the highest animation-work put into it out of...possibly all the episodes so far.

if they use a king crimson song for the OP or ED...
Watch as the finale of the King Crimson arc ends with
In the court of the Crimson King as the ED

It would be shitty if they didn't considering DiU probably helped give them some new exposure and money.

Vol 4 of Jojonium is arriving today and I just realized my horrible mistake, I'm going to have to shift my whole damn manga bookshelf for it. That row right now is all of HxH and all of Jojoniums, there is no more room anywhere for another manga let alone the bulky Jojonium.
Same.

Every chapter I was like "Where's the stand?" I think it ended up being the dude with the fucking gravity altering spit if I'm remembering it right.

There's a jojo event running between August 12 to September 10, so maybe sometime then.
Probably going to be a year without a jojo anime, barring the Rohan OVA.

Must be the work of an enemy stand. It's trying to merge the real world with the fictional world.
