This looks okay, I'll wait for it to get dubbed though

You guys are blind. This looks sexy as hell to me.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

The aesthetic itself isn't bad (in fact it looks pretty good in some spots); but, I don't know, the animation itself looks very stiff and jumpy.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

The animation in some parts looked.. odd. Other parts decent. The visuals are pretty cool though. Hoping this is better than the trailer makes it out to be though.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

The visuals looked not too bad, pretty stylish and swish in some places.

But at the same time, some of the action scenes seemed a bit wooden. I wonder if it'll improve when we do see it though.

Still hyped for it. Heard Tomokazu Sugita will be voicing Joseph Joestar which was fantastic.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Yeah, that's the part I'm worrying about. I'm PRAYING this doesn't turn into Toriko where the animation is so bad it makes me quit altogether. Something in my head ignites a rage explosion when I see somebody get punched in an anime, and all they do is zoom out with the "WWOWOWOAOAOOAAAHHH" sound effect. If that's how this turns out, consider me gone.

Even as huge an advocate of dubs, you're being pretty patient. You've gotta consider how far down the line this series is gonna be before it gets dubbed (and it will, inevitably, given it's huge status in the anime/manga world that FUNimation and Viz love grabbing licenses from) and, at that, how little amount the episodes of long ongoing series get released at a time.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

It'll likely never get dubbed. We've only got one part of the manga translated and I don't think that did extremely well.

So the chances are very slim I'd say.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

We'll see. Funi dubbed Deadman Wonderland even though it didn't sell well.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

In Japan. He's referring to manga sales I think, which I don't really think is the way they go about buying stuff to dub. It's usually what they think will succeed over in the US and other regions with English language. Sales for Deadman Wonderland's manga weren't great if I recall correctly, given TokyoPop went under. But that's just a general view, so I'm not sure on numbers there.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Nah, talking about the West in general really. Pretty sure they didn't sell that well at all.

Deadman Wonderland may not have done well in manga sales but you could tell it was going to get dubbed, it just has that vibe to it that a lot of companies think dark and edgy teens would like so it'd sell millions.

Other than vampires, JoJo is pretty damn fabulous and they may not think it would do well over here.
That being said I seem to remember the Sega game being pretty popular.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

DIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now I think I'm starting to see why you guys are saying the animation will probably be bad. I think I'll still watch it though.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure TV BDs to Have English Subs - News - Anime News Network

Interesting. This, coupled with the ending theme makes it seem like they really want foreigners to pick this one up, lol

Does JoJo have some sort of cult following in England?

If there is, I'd like to know where they are. There is only me and one other guy in my friendship group who have read JoJo's and he's only starting Part 4. I rarely see JoJo cosplayers either. Maybe they are just well hidden.

Or it could be a push for the game. As I believe the sega game was extremely popular, so they could be appealing to that audience to see if there is an audience over in the West for All-Star Battle.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

At the very least, Dio Brando has a solid following in western culture. If just for that infamous "WRYYYY" noise he did in that game.

Now where are my subs at?

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Just watched the episode.

I was unaware that a show could be quite this ridiculous, lol

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

They were lazy with the animation, but stylish with it too, I hope to god they put more effort in the battle scenes.

Re: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

How the fuck did they get YES for this? Oh man I'm sold on this based on that alone. If they do like most animes, and change the opening and close themes every arc, and keep using music of that quality or higher... I'll weep.
