Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Yoshikage Kira has one of my favourite introductions in all of manga. Can't wait to see pepole's reaction especially since DP have been building it up since the first episode

Next week's episode of The Fresh Prince of Morioh is looking good.

If it wasn't for that pose, I would actually think of it as a lame joke.

Truly, a FRESH stando power!

The wacky, memetic qualities of this franchise has actually made me giddy. I haven't felt this way about an anime since Hunter X Hunter.◊ How does something like this exist and go under the radar? I need to read that Jojomenon book. How does Araki come up with it all?

Even Part 4 is starting to win me over. I wasn't digging the first opening and while this one might be more "generic," the image of Crazy Diamond leaping out of Josuke getting ready to punch, going into an attack rush, and Josuke leaping out of it moments after is .

And the latest episodes. I mean, a goddamn sniper-rat.

Jojo's is always amazing. It's flamboyant, fabulous, and witty, with clever mindgames, bizarre powers, and outlandish fashion.

WE TOONAMI NOW

Jojo airs in October, starting with Part 1 as God intended.

so we finally have the reveal of the "severed hand" killer.

say hello to Yoshikage Kira.

Gotta say I preferred his ASB voice. Isn't this Diavolos ASB VA?

I've got an idea for a Stand and I want to know if it is a case of Heart Is an Awesome Power or just being overpowered. If it is overpowered, please tell me how to nerf it.

Stand: Under Pressure

Ability: Can turn lights on or off. The "lights" range from the physical (light bulbs, flashlights, the Sun (maybe if it isn't too overpowered) ), to the metaphorical (emotion, intelligence, life).

That it is.

There's a Stand in Part 8 whose ability is to take away qualities of something, if I'm not mistaken. Vague powers that can be exploited to have powerful effects are pretty much the essence of JJBA.

you're right. its name is Soft & Wet, and it belongs to the main character.

What were your thoughts after seeing David Bowie?

I had a enjoyable time

Yeah, Soft and Wet was the name. Looks really neat.

Also, Kira's intro was great. Shame we won't see him again for another three weeks.

I felt like a picnic.

I'm digging that theme music he had in that scene of his. I hope to hear more of it.

so... did anyone else think Reimi was cute? for a ghost, i mean.

Btw, did anyone else notice the first notes Kira's theme is built on? The intro to Killer Queen.

O_O you're right. it's a bit slower, but there's definitely a similarity. just like his theme in EOH.

Guaranteed to blow your mind!

Episode 17:

Aww, and I was expecting Yoshikage Kira to be introduced via the infamous "Duwang" scene... Still, it was hilarious for Josuke to lampshade that they're not gonna bump into the serial killer anytime soon, and then Koichi nearly gets run over by a car—driven by Yoshikage Kira himself.

Also, when Koichi felt something warm and wet dripping on the back of his head and neck and I saw what that stuff was, the first thing that came to mind was, "Koichi's got ectoplasmic residue!"

OK, questions:

• So I know that Toshiyuki Morikawa voices Yoshikage Kira in the anime adaptation, but who voices Reimi Sugimoto this time around? Is she still voiced by Ryō Hirohashi?
• When Reimi shows her stab wounds at the back, were those stab wounds actually shown in the manga?

Anyway, will patiently wait for the "Duwang" scene (I guess that fatso with a more ugly hairdo—Shigechi—is up first for the next three weeks) and I'm also looking forward to the animated form of this scene (spoilers):

no. that scene was pretty accurate to the manga; Koichi and Rohan are the only ones that saw them.

Christ the ending was disturbing in its own way.

Yeah, we never see Reimi's scars. Honestly, I think it's more effective that way, given that we can imagine how terrible it must be.

i'm watching this video about Jojo music references. man, Araki was on a serious Jimi Hendrix kick when he was working on Purple Haze Feedback.

The Reimi episode made me think of something, and please forgive me if I'm a bit late to the party on this. Rohan is a key element to finding Reimi and, through her, uncovering the existence of Kira. Stopping Kira, among other things, allows Reimi to finally pass on to the afterlife. That in mind, Rohan's Stand being called "Heaven's Door" gains a whole new meaning beyond simple music reference.
