That is a good jojo promo. Lotsa spoilers , but they are out of context, and Part 1 is pretty short.

You know, I actually know nothing about JoJo. Not a darn thing.

But the fact that the promo features a Yes song makes me really, really wanna watch it.

I'd like to be the first man on the moon.

That Yes song becomes the end-of-episode music for a while. It's pretty great.

In general, Jojo has a lot of references to, and use of, some pretty great music.

Oh snap! Cell's breaking out those old school Dragon Ball moves!

@ Garcon: This will be my first time actually watching a JoJo's series, but I know enough about the manga/anime due to a certain Capcom fighter with a steamroller-related meme involving Dio and friends who are big on the series. It also helps that Street Fighter has at least two characters who are heavily inspired by JoJo's, which prompted me to do some research.

@ Enlong: Tell me about it. The musical and pop-culture references from character names alone are numerous. Where else are you going to find characters named Speedwagon and Vanilla Ice?

@ Demongod: To be fair, DBZ's got at least a decade and a half on Toriko, so it's no wonder it'd be fairly unimpressive by comparison. tongue

@ Beary: That's also the first thing that came to mind when I read that. wink

A shame toei ruined the Anime for Toriko.

Otherwise, we'd be getting it on Toonami by now. sad

And besides, what Toriko has in scale it lacks in actual substance.

I could say the same for Dragonball and Jojo.

But they are all entertaining and thats all that matters.

Honestly, most Shounen, even the "good" ones, are lacking in substance. It's the fights and the characters that makes us keep coming back for more. That's how I see it anyway.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#31872: Oct 1st 2016 at 9:39:13 PM

Yeah, but most of them don't try to pretend to be more than that like Toriko does. And there are even some that manage to have great fights while also being decently written and engaging stories outside of that.

But, that's off-topic I suppose...

One could say that this past discussion on shonen was rather roundabo... Forget it. That's far too terrible a pun for me to even finish.

Did Telepathic Tentacles just say "grind you into blood sausages"? They have sausages on its homeworld?
