(L) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (2012) Anime only Edition

[OPN]

Latest episode was awesome...koyasu is absolutely perfect as dio.

[Ridwan]

I just love how this show has led me to recall my childhood memories through its ED song.

[Kaioshin Sama]

There's so much man love going on in this show it's amazing. It's like one huge gentlemanly bromance.

[Sheba]

Holy crap that rendering for the Hamon! It puts Twilight to fucking shame!

Otherwise, episode 3 managed to cram the turning of Jack the Ripper, meeting Zeppeli, teaching Hamon and going to Dio's place but getting ambushed by Jack, and killing Jack in one single episode. And yet, it doesn't feel like they have gone TOO FAST. The only downside to me is the censorship that can get really nasty.

[Kanon]

Zeppeli's voice is absolutely not what I had in mind. It will take some time to get used to it.

They are breezing through the chapters, but as usual, the stuff they cut out is mostly unimportant so it's not a big problem. Phantom Blood works better with this faster pace anyway. Moreover, that means more episode for the next part, so it's definitely worth it.

[Trogdor Jube]

Man, that censorship was absolutely BLECH!
Otherwise it was good episode, I got to see my long awaited OBADURAAAIBUUU!
Zeppili's voice was such a shocker though and Erina is absolutely stunning.

"Speedwagon withdraws cooly".

Johnathan reminds me very much of Goku though. Even he turns some former enemies into his allies and friends. It's an interesting similarity between the two.

Really manly and quite over-the-top, but very entertaining. I just hope it gets licensed soon since JoJo has been around a long time like FotNS.

[Sheba]

Copyrights will be a pain tho, especially when western music references get thrown in.

^I took it as a bad sign that it's being released in Japan with English subtitles

CDJapan, amazon.jp, amiami etc.

Its very expensive tho, but you can help so we can get the sequel that way.

Thank you. 87$ each BD. Wow.

Might wait until the anime is finished to buy it. And Jojo is on #3 place on BD pre-orders this season you know, I'm sure if the adaptation keeps up it will sell enough for another season.

rank doesn't matter, in a weak season you can have rank above #10 with sales around 2000

same as now, jojo has better rank compared to LB since 2-3 weeks ago with less sales number and static (around 200) margin

Except this isn't a weak season at all and the pre-orders for all Jojo's BD's so far are great.

too soon to tell since the title with most sell this season so far is TLR-D with only 4k

last season Horizon has already sold around 9-10k at this point with SAO trailing close behind (and later surpassed).

JoJo itself only sell 2,4k so far, still faraway from good, from 10 or even 5k...but again too soon to tell

2.4K in less than a month,BDs don't come out until january 30th. If it keeps this pace up it could reach 10K,though nothing guarantees it will.

[jeroz]

sometimes it's hard to get high sale numbers in a strong season as the buyers spread out instead of focus on that one (of the few) show to buy

[Blaat]

Okayish episode, not enough jerkass Dio to make it enjoyable :P

With manga adaptation you also need to look at manga sells before saying it isn't good. A manga adaptation with low BR sells but a high increased manga sales will usually get a second season.

[Sheba]

Okay, let's guess who are voicing Okuyasu and Josuke.

Anonymous thinks that Okayasu is voiced by Wataru Takagi most known as Onizuka. As for Josuke, I am hesitating between Suwabe and Midorikawa. Any guess?

[Kanon]

Josuke is voiced by Wataru Hatano in the game, isn't that him? I'm not familiar with his voice so I can't tell.

As for Okuyasu, it definitely sounds like Wataru Takagi to me.
