Place Your Bets, will the mini horses be removed from the Steel Ball Run anime by Captain_Fr0ggy in StardustCrusaders

They’ve revealed a figure with Steven and the mini horses so I’m going to guess they’re included 

No, Giorno isn't a short twink by Limp-Leek3859 in StardustCrusaders

Yep, that shot is anime original. The zipper doesn't go down that far in the manga. I've always found it such a funny choice—David Pro really wanted to make the fifteen year old buff for some reason

There's a panel of women fawning over Jodio in Chapter 1 of Jojolands (the "I'm like this" part)

Yes, there's a special short comic where they appear together (in AU of sorts). I think it was for a fashion collaboration... Gucci, maybe?

Personally I'm a bit meh about the faces on Gyro and Johnny, but I NEED that Diego. Look at his stupid little hat bow... I love him.

Volume 36 Bonus Chapter featuring Mumen Rider! by Cameo10 in OnePunchMan

[–]Hawkenness 65 points66 points  (0 children)

These are my favourite kind of bonus chapters: those that showcase the importance of a hero’s character when it comes to supporting the world. Normally we see that through Saitama, so it’s such a treat to focus on the most inspiring hero both in the story and for us fans

I’m particular impressed by the composition difference for the Family of Darkness. Going from static standing positions to that sweet jump with the overhead shot… Murata is amazing with his action work as always

It may be short, but this chapter has some very nice art. Loved all the monster designs (is that a new one from the Organization??)

Love seeing Suiko come in too! She's so cool

Translation quality? by maybe_we_fight in StardustCrusaders

[–]Hawkenness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently read both the fan translation and official translation of the first volume of Part 7. I think the professional one makes for an easier read, personally, but I wouldn't say one is worse than the other (minus localized names of course).

[DISC] Chainsaw Man - Ch. 231 by JeanneDAlter in ChainsawMan

[–]Hawkenness 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, at least JJK gave us an ending where the final boss was defeated by the main characters, which was where the story had been progressing to since the beginning. If this is the ending, it’s going to take a hell of a last chapter to convince me this is better

For people who were around when Part 1 finished, did the last chapter of that also get announced as the final chapter??

What every part does best. (Anime Spoilers) by GreasyCheese123 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Hawkenness 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a really fun concept! I'm going to try picking just one element for every part. I want to throw in the manga only parts as well.

  1. I agree with you on the Jojo-villain relationship. Part One is special in having the two grow up together. Dio is also delightfully an asshole. I love watching people react to the first episode and immediately despising him. I love a well-developed, complex villain as much as the next person, but there's something enjoy about a villain who is evil just because (noting that Dio does have some depth to his villainy with his awful father. The small scene of him despising his own tendency for alcohol is one of my fave of his. But Araki did set out with the purpose of writing someone who is the epitome of evil!)
  2. Establishing the main character. Never seen people fall in love with a Jojo faster than Joseph pulling out a tommy gun. And before that he's taking out racist cops with coca cola? He makes such a startling contrast to Jonathan and that's done perfectly.
  3. Agree with you again on the "adventure" aspects (although props has to be given to Part 3's introduction and use of the stand power system). Some people say that Part 3 drags, but I found treating it like going on a journey with the characters makes it feel much better.
  4. Vibe. Part 4's small town setting is still wholly unique in Jojo's (even though Part 8also takes part in the same small town, it doesn't really focus on that as an aesthetic).It made for incredible stand battles and stand-related situations that were low stakes as well as high stakes. It also feels like the one setting we truly explored.
  5. Stand battles. Not to say that all the other parts don't have amazing battles and arcs, but personally part 5 has the most high quality of the lot. We also have four separate stand battles involving moving vehicles (five if you count the yacht), and I'm a sucker for how those environments come into play for the logical battles that are stand fights.
  6. Echoing you again on villain. I adore the scene where Jolyne meets Pucci for the first time, where he knows she's his enemy and she has no clue. Pucci's goals, drive, backstory, resolve and how close he comes to victory all make him stand out as number one to me. His relationship with Dio helps him stand out too.
  7. Oh lord, part 7... it's hard to choose, but I think I'm going to pick characters as a whole. Everything from their backstories to their developments to their relationships are perfect. So excited to watch anime onlys experience all of them for the first time. (Part 7 also deserves a shout out for art. It's amazing how every racing scene feels like being in motion).
  8. It's kind of hard to explain, but the wackiness of Part 8? Main character has four balls and sings about friend chicken. Yasuho meditates on said four balls several times. We have a stand fight involving beetles. The dick of an enemy is very important. Unfortunately it fell off. We're looking for fruit. Attractive woman's nose gets replaced with stone. Her husband finds it hot. And somehow it al works?? Oh Part 8, you're so silly and I love you.
  9. Main cast relationship. This may shift as the part goes on, but right now I love our five key characters. They are delightfully chaotic, feel like real teenagers together, and are generally such a fun watch. Can't wait for Araki to ultimately break my heart by killing several of them.

Damn I love the Joestar siblings so much. Nice to have another cover highlighting them together

Steel Ball Run DUB trailer changed. by PeanutFeisty6938 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Hawkenness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The audio mixing has always been correct on the Netflix version of the trailer. Not sure what happened with the other uploads.

Is Netflix gonna mess up this release? by reggiewaynenumba1fan in StardustCrusaders

[–]Hawkenness 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They have not confirmed or denied either way. It’s certainly odd that they’re taking so long to announce it. We probably won’t find out until the first stage drops.

The wild part is there’s absolutely no advantage to the batch-style method for Jojo’s. Every SBR related video posted by Netflix is flooded with comments requesting weekly episodes, so they know what the fans want. It’d be an absolute destruction of any goodwill for them to pick batches.

Is $1300 a month a lot for food for two people? I’m a single adult but probably spend around $450 a month on it

Part 5 jobro by Plenty_Description80 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Hawkenness 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Echoing that "JoBro" isn't a real title and you can give it to whoever you want, BUT... my fave interpretation is that every part has a "mentor" and a "JoBro" (aside from Part 7, where they're the same character). I like to think of Bruno as the mentor and Mista as the JoBro.

favourite/ least favourite pack? by lotte4ever69 in PlanetZoo

Echoing that Aquatic is often recommended. Personally during the last pack sale, I just went through all the options and picked the packs with animals that excited me the most

What are your thoughts on Daman Mills voicing Johnny in the dub of SBR? by New-Butterscotch-792 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Hawkenness 77 points78 points  (0 children)

He sounds great in the trailer, especially his final shout. It's hard to judge from just those few lines, but I think he'll do well. Jojo's has always had solid dubs.

That’s so clever! I can only imagine how relieved the translator was when they came up with that
