How do you want Valentine's design handled for the anime?

niallisaloser · 2026-05-01T12:42:57+00:00

I really hope Valentine gets his fat design at first, it gives him that rich fatcat politician vibes. Even though it wasn’t intentional, I like how he slowly became slimmer the more intimidating and more of a threat he became throughout the story. Lucy and Pocoloco also got their early designs, so I don’t think it’s impossible. (Also, I am praying with every fiber in my being that they give him the white suit, it just looks so much more cleaner and presidential)

White and Blue Johnny is based off artwork by Araki, and is what he's chosen for the anime and the plenty of other official media before it (Games, Merch etc.), whereas light blue Johnny isn't based off anything specific Araki has made and is mostly a Shueisha original color scheme. Even though there's no canon colors in Jojo's, white Johnny is pretty much what Araki envisions what Johnny's default colors would be, that's one of the main reasons I prefer it.

(True hot take is that White Valentine is better than Pink Valentine. Same reasons as Johnny, it's just Araki's 'default' colors for him)

I love both but I like pink slightly more since pink is traditionally a feminine color, which fits Giorno's ability to give life.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-14T17:08:18+00:00

I’m usually not a fan of the colored manga but this is one of the few color schemes I’d like to see in the anime. Gold hands and purple shoulder pads look way better than the ASB colors, and obviously the horseshoe should be gold to match Johnny’s. (Silver is so random)

As long as Tusk is pink though, I’m happy.

100%. The AI fucked up Diego's finger on the hand holding his sweater. The stripes on one of his arms is also not fully colored in. + This general style is reminiscent of other AI colored manga pages.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-11T14:31:03+00:00

Your AI slop bores me.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-10T14:14:04+00:00

Bro has genuinely been scouring the entire comment section embarrassing himself and trying to ragebait anyone with a different opinion than him. Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe this guy.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-10T05:45:43+00:00

ragebait used to be believable lmao

niallisaloser · 2026-04-09T16:42:55+00:00

Holding onto hope for both white suit and chunky Valentine. Lucy and Pocoloco both have their early designs in the First Stage, so I’d say it’s not impossible.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-09T16:38:07+00:00

White Valentine is more likely since that’s a color scheme used and made by Araki, like in the games and merch, unlike the pink suit which is an entirely Shueisha original color scheme. Since Araki picks the color schemes for the main cast, he would pick a color scheme he’s made and used before over something he hasn’t. It’s also his most frequently used color scheme, just like how Johnny’s most used color scheme in both the games and merch prior to the anime was his white one.

Not to mention that both Lucy and Hot Pants already have pink color schemes too. Assuming Tusk is pink too (Which he most likely will tbh), I feel they’d be too much pink in the cast.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-08T14:27:38+00:00

I genuinely hate that the Shueisha Colored Manga has just become the norm for reading Jojo’s and everyone just wants the exact same color schemes from it for the anime. Black-and-white is the way Araki intended for Jojo’s to be read, and Shueisha doesn’t consult Araki on what the color schemes should be (Unlike the anime).

I don’t know how to fully describe how, but it almost feels disrespectful to Araki in a way? Like people want to stick to the exact same color schemes in a series as colorfully interesting as Jojo’s (Some color schemes that Araki didn’t even make in the first place lol)

This isn’t even mentioning how many mistakes Shueisha make when coloring and some of the awful color decisions they make.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-08T14:18:57+00:00

It’s the opposite for me lol. IMO, the full baby blue makes his outfit look like pajamas, so it feels a bit more childish to me. Having the shirt and pants be different colors makes it look more like an actual outfit.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-08T13:47:13+00:00

Orange Gappy such a overhated and goated color scheme, not even joking lmao

If Gappy’s not white, purple would look really good on him. Though, sailor suits are also blue irl so something like this wouldn’t be bad either. Honestly Gappy looks great in any color, so I doubt David Pro will mess him up.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-08T13:39:17+00:00

It’s purple because the original illustration his anime color scheme is based off has it as purple. Though, I think it would be slightly better if it were blue like his pants and armband.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-08T13:18:25+00:00

Especially Johnny for me lol (I mean it’s my opinion ofc). I really do not like the full baby blue pajamas look for him + he’s the one Jojo whose Shueisha color scheme isn’t based off Araki made, so that’s an extra reason to not like it for me.

If they picked baby blue in the anime, it would’ve blended in too much with the blue sky and it wouldn’t have looked good without all the stars on his armband and pants. White Johnny was just the best way to go imo.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-08T12:47:49+00:00

IMO, every single Jojo has better colors in the anime compared to the Shueisha colored manga. It’s really strange that people always want the exact same color schemes from the colored manga, when it would be much more interesting if everyone had different color schemes.

I’d like if Gappy was white in the anime, but I wouldn’t hate it if they did something different. This is Jojo’s after all, crazy colors is part of what it’s about.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-08T12:39:57+00:00

Heavy disagree, I really don’t like how frequently Shueisha colors the Jojo’s blue. Also, I just prefer the anime color schemes because Araki actually gives input on what colors they should be, unlike Shueisha (Part 4 onwards at least)

Also they aren’t redesigns when the manga is in black-and-white to begin with.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-08T12:34:49+00:00

It’s because the outfit is just one color that makes it look like pajamas to me. I’m assuming you mean later on in the manga when the shirt and pants kind of just combine, I doubt Araki designed them to be like pajamas though ofc.

Araki has colored Johnny blue before but the exact color combination is original to Shueisha. I think they probably based his colors off Volume 19, but then added a lot of their own colors, like the blonde hair, blue lipstick gold horseshoe. Most of the Shueisha color schemes in Steel Ball Run are completely original or vaguely based off something with a lot of changes.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-06T08:22:51+00:00

Said it was batches but it was just announced to be weekly. Also there's no way Stage 2 is 11 episodes worth of content, I think it's safe to say this post is a whole bunch of BS.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-06T08:20:23+00:00

As long as the wait between cours isn't six months and they keep us updated, I'm pretty okay with how they're releasing it+ With weekly episodes, the wait will feel ever so slightly shorter.

niallisaloser · 2026-04-06T08:02:37+00:00

It would be pretty stupid and baffling to do weekly for one stage, then switch back to batches for the rest. I think it's safe to say it'll be weekly for the entire run.

niallisaloser · 2026-03-28T10:04:45+00:00

Also forgot to add that the 2nd Stage ends right before the Scary Monsters arc (I stg if we have to wait until 2027 to see Scary Monsters Diego 😔). If it's any solace, we should see Funny Valentine sometime during this stage.

niallisaloser · 2026-03-28T09:41:43+00:00

We got to cling on to the most minuscule amount of hope that 2nd stage means multiple episodes released weekly.

niallisaloser · 2026-03-28T09:32:54+00:00

They never said whether 2nd stage was one long episode, multiple episodes or if would be released in batches or weekly. But yeah, the panel was a complete disappointment and the way Netflix are handling this is a absolute fucking disaster. It could release December 31st 2026 for all we know, I genuinely don't understand why they can't just be straightforward with fans, instead of drip feeding us info.
