Its a old song, really eccentric choice.

Interesting choices there. Can't find anything on the vocalist for the opening though...

MisaoFan · 2012-09-14, 09:47

I don't know about how the opening theme so I can't expect anything aside from Tanaka's involvement, but the ending theme by Yes fits the show perfectly due to Araki's obsession with pop art and Western culture (based from what I heard). Bonus points if the ending appears to have a modern version of "Roundabout" song and how it depicts Danny (the show's dog) in humorous aspects.

Thanks for the link. Just going of the some of the samples for his songs there's a definite 80's pop vibe going so it would certainly fit the series...not too sure how well today's crowd will react to that though

OOps, my bad. The choice is not that eccentric, when you know Araki's constant referencing to pop, rock, metal and prog.

MisaoFan · 2012-09-14, 09:55

I just listen to a Tommy's (the show's opening performer) song called "Dangerous Fight" and like Jetzero said, it might fit the show's 80's vibes and manly looks so I liked it.

Jojo TV anime OP/ED announced!

Vocals: Hiroaki "Tommy" Tominaga

Wow - Roundabout as the ED? That's pretty cool. I saw Yes play that at Alpine Valley Wisconsin xx years ago...

ellifeedn · 2012-09-14, 11:43

Is this ED just for the first part?

Mura · 2012-09-14, 12:42

YES is the name of the group to perform the ED?

That's pretty true and well known. There is a number of interviews and documentaries where he takes some time just to showoff display his enormous music collection and prove how much of a music nut he really is

, not to mention the goodies he added in the Viz release of Stardust Crusaders just for the English fandom.

I wouldn't be surprised if we learn he requested it specifically here.

no confirmation for how far the adaptation goes

so yes, let's just assume that for now

margafred · 2012-09-16, 23:56

Its about 3 weeks before the air date, and i couldn't find a single PV of JoJo... it should be out in a week or so i guess, but still i couldn't hold my body any longer... i need to see the PV so badly xD

fertygo · 2012-09-17, 01:03

We might not seeing PV at all at this rate.

duckroll · 2012-09-19, 08:14

First Jojo anime screens and new poster visual:

shels · 2012-09-19, 08:48

That second screen (the red and green one) looks like it came directly from an 80's anime, looking good nonetheless.
Can't wait, just 2 more weeks!

margafred · 2012-09-19, 09:34

This is absolutely brilliant... if this is other anime, i would definitely say "thats a strange and absurd pose the character has there.."... but knowing that this is Araki's whatever-pose-that defies-law-of-physics-and law-of-human-posture-is-completely-fine, i have nothing to argue about the the wonderfulness of the visual poster. That poster makes Dio looks like Hisoka... and the crack on Jojo's pants is sexy....

Oh and that anime screens... though there's no PV yet to judge the quality, but just from that screen caps, i can say... absolutely good job David Production.

I can smell that Jojo will become a phenomenon for the Fall season... man, how can i resist myself like this.. my anticipation level is off-chart already.

duckroll · 2012-09-19, 09:38

I hope we get a PV tomorrow or within this week at least. It's really long overdue. :/

margafred · 2012-09-19, 09:53

Indeed. 99% of the list for fall season has already released their PV.. with Jojo *i think* being the only one without its actual PV yet. Likely this is a marketing strategy to increase the hype of the series... but if they keep holding the PV like this, the strategy will definitely lose its charm quick.

It should be out by this week at least, or next week... but definitely not the last week before Jojo starts airing... probably they gonna release the PV with some kind of Jojo's merchandise or something to celebrate Jojo's 25 years anniversary.

Kaioshin Sama · 2012-09-20, 13:16

This is basically looking like my dark horse of the season. It has the potential to be a really manly action show that flies totally under the radar, or to be the next Blassreiter depending on how well David Production handles the license. With that cast list though and the latest preview it looks like they're pretty serious about making something out of this, but we'll see.
