my biggest problems through part 7 are the plot holes and the botched endings of 7 and 6…
1 we end up with several stand arrows that are never accounted for
2. josuke rescuing his young self through time travel or some shit is never explained
3. the fight with king crimson, and the “resolution” are bullshit
4 the ending of six would have been cool if the ending of 7 “made things right again” but instead we just get part 8 in the same “timeline” as 7 and it sucks…emporio is still walking around in a desert somewhere
1.it makes sense that there are unaccounted arrows. Think about where the stone on the arrows come from, a meteorite from outer space. You prefer jebus body parts to meteorite pieces?
2.You are referring to part 4… and time travel had nothing to do with it. Josuke and his mom were saved by an unnamed stranger with a weird hair do that Josuke took upon himself to mimic in the present. If you are talking about jojolion, we still don’t know exactly wtf is happening but yeah I think this series is pretty trash thus far.
3.It’s shounen. Half the fights realistically would have the protagonist dead several times over in the real world. If you thought THAT was some bullshit you need to need read SBR over again. Watch in absolute horror as flying finger nails trumps over time stoppage and inter-dimensional travel.
4. Marvel has been doing this practically forever, you need to reboot to keep things fresh. Honestly though, I thought jojo went south during the 5th series. The 6th series was by far the worst incarnation. The best series was also the one that pulled jojo into the mainstream, series 3.
Apparently(need a source), Araki’s a fan of Clint Eastwood, and based Jotaro’s personality on the kind of chars Eastwood plays.
Watched Ep.2 raw. All I’m gonna say is, Jojo mans up in a big way lol. They’ve seemingly skipped one minor thing from the manga I think(I could be wrong since I don’t speak Japanese and they could’ve mentioned it in passing), the exchange between [details=Spoiler]Wang Chen, the man who sold Dio the poison, who talks about Dio’s birthmark(3 dots on the ear) having significance.[/details]
2nd Ep was pretty awesome (there’s a subbed version up now). One thing that bothers me though is Johnathan’s nose, but I’ll get over it lol. Can’t wait for next week!
I’m hoping that they ease up on some of the censorship though as apparently a couple of anime that’s currently being aired gets away with a bit more gore.
