[QUOTE=Amakir;51103276]I also really like how the OVA uses silence a lot to build tension whereas the new anime is very loud all the time with blaring wub-music and wooshing sound effects.[/QUOTE] This was probably my [i]least[/i] favorite thing about the OVA. Characters would just sit in place spending 30 seconds doing nothing but stare at each other while literally nothing happens, and after so many slow panning shots it came to feel like padding. I'm only just now getting into part 3 in the new anime but I'm finding it superior in pretty much every way. It's loud and garish and melodramatic, just like the manga, where I thought the OVA was way too reserved in most places.
[QUOTE=Nickolas;51103856]The only thing i dislike in the OVA is Dio's voice really Sounds more like an old man than anything[/QUOTE] Their sound direction in general is pretty meh.

S-screw you guys, the OVA is great. :suicide:

[QUOTE=Reds;51102373]The only question in Jojo I want answered is "why did dio and then jotaro suddenly start flying".[/QUOTE] [t]http://i.imgur.com/44Blvxa.jpg[/t]
Easily one of the weirdest things about the OVA was Kakyoin's earrings. What were they thinking with that?

Even if most of these aren't full character animations with lots of isolated motion, it's leagues better than David's stuff. Design shit is just conjecture, but Studio APPP's animators were just [I]better.[/I]
I almost choked to death reading the line "APPP's animators were just better" fucking APPP shit all looks like absolute garbage to me, do I just live in an alternate universe from everyone else? Sure there are points where the ovas had good animation, I'm not denying that, but they're few and far between. and my images are not cherrypicking, there are more moments of the ova looking weird or bad than there are it looking good, when watching it I had to hold off on taking screencaps because if I capped everything I saw I'd never finish the damn thing.
They're all stills, therefore, not animation dude. Please don't tell me I have to spell out that distinction and why it's extremely important.
[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;51110992][img]http://i.imgur.com/KQOrwLl.gif[/img][/QUOTE] You better fuckin' watch it. This .gif is a treasure.
Like they aren't even bad drawings on any technical level you posted dude they're just designs and liberties you took issues with [t]http://i.imgur.com/VBTwRCK.jpg[/t] some choices that don't fall in line with everyone's projections of what's within iggy's design, but it's solid. It uses perspective well and the volumes of iggy's body are acknowledged. He's consistent looking. [t]http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/974/127/660.jpg[/t] A closer representation of the design elements from the manga, but holy shit is it a mess. This is what an actual bad drawing looks like. Not just one you don't like. Where the OVA has a few, David's adaptation is probably made up of 50% this. Where it succeeds is accuracy. aaand fuckin sound design
I didn't say what my problem with them was actually, thanks for assuming.
Happy Birthday Joseph and Bruno, two of my favourite characters. [img]http://i.imgur.com/Ht5ntsR.png[/img]

None of those pictures are even bad. I know your grief with the OVA that it's not JoJo and the designs are atrocious but what was the point of posting those shots
I like both the OVA and the anime for different reasons and think both have their strong suits. I ultimately prefer the anime, but I can still watch the OVA and have a good time.
you know you're in good company when you can break out with a friend instantly into dub OVA hol horse and polnareff laughing their asses off
I machined out a birthday tribute for Bruno, [B]contains P5 spoilers[/B]: [URL]http://i.imgur.com/0tysciG.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://i.imgur.com/K82rq7m.jpg[/URL]
If there's one thing where the OVA really dropped the ball I'd have to say it is DIO's VA. I mean god damn.

Are you guys really arguing the difference between an OVA and a fucking day time tv anime The budget disparity is going to be ridiculous. The OVA is also significantly shorter [i]than a 47 episode long complete adaptation of 152 chapters of manga.[/i] Come on guys.

Can't we all just love JoJo in all the formats it comes in?
