I love what this show does to its hencmen: it only shows the battles against three of them in detail. Apart from that, all of them are instantly just slaughtered by Jojo as he refuses to waste any more time on this. The result was that this episode showed yet another incredibly over the top battle with Dio and Jojo.
And again, the adrenaline between those two. The incredibly crazy gore that this show has is just amazing. Usually when people with over the top powers and strengths fight, it just doesn’t have the impact as when the fights were done realistically. And yet here this show comes with such extreme details in its gore. I mean, did Dio really just pull out a bunch of arteries from Jojo’s neck? And then there are bizarre contraptioons that were supposed to be zombies. Seriously, the author of this thing had one sick mind.
But yeah, the past episodes have pretty much been Jojo punching zombies to death in a ridiculously elaborate fashion. If the rest of the series wil have this as well, it will get old fast, although I’ve heard enough times that the second arc will be completely different, and actually better on each level. Can’t wait!
Rating: 5/8 (Great)
Things change dramatically once the Stands come in. I look forward to it.
Hell YEAH!
Going back and rereading (or in this case watching) Phantom Blood after reading the later arcs really shows that Araki, the creator, really didn’t have everything set yet, outside of aping a lot of Fist of the North Star stuff. Part 2/Battle Tendency is where he really started to hammer out where JJBA was going to go thematically with its world and characters.
The second arc is in NYC and it involves Nazis.
thanks for the spoilers
Did I spoil what happens? How are the nazis involved? Or anything of substance?
lol
It depends on the taste which arc is better but the arcs are always completely different (even the art style in the manga) which makes the series damn entertaining and intersting since it’s always showing something new and also changes the settings (place and time).
this show is amazing. the best of this season.
What I think I’m most impressed with is the fact that david productions took what is considered the worst of the JoJo series and made it an absolute joy to watch.
If they can do this with part one, I can’t even imagine what they’ll be able to do with parts two and beyond.
All of a sudden, with all this mention of gore,I remember planet waves…. ohohoho planet waves… araki’s guro hasn’t even begun….
but other than that,no mention on the events in the fight itself? I mean designwise, this isn’t the most complex araki fight, but even for his early work, it shows a bit of planning.
