There's a new advert for Diamond Records and it's given us a picture of Polnareff and Okuyasu chasing Harvest (Carrying the stone mask?) around.
Also Stroheim, D'Arby, Rohan, and Zeppeli playing cards together.

Talking about part 4 again.
Is anyone else curious on what Josuke,Okuyasu and Yukako where talking about during that one time they were sitting togheter at the cafe on the Boys2men episode? I think I want a spin-off just to potray that one scene.

Probably Koichi
It's amazing how well Jojo translates to 3D, even when modeled for a mobile game
EoH is basically perfection imo, every model, texture and pose is pretty much 100% accurate

Speaking of the Arakis Manga Techniques book, whatever happened to the English localization of it? I haven't heard anything about it since the announcement, is it still going to be released?
Since part 5's Colored Adventures still isn't finished with its translation, I decided to move on and start reading part 6 along with it.
Well, I finished Part 6 before part 5 finished, and for me it was a very bittersweet ending. [sp]I don't want to say goodbye to all the jojo's I grew to love like that, god dammit! I don't WANNA GO TO A NEW UNIVERSE! FUCK JOHNNY AND JO2UKE![/sp]

I actually caught a listing for it somewhere, (Amazon?) and now I can't remember where. It's a few months out though.

[sp]Don't worry, Gyro's Bizarre Adventure is the beginning of something better.[/sp]
after making the mistake of reading reading part 7 before 5/6, i decided to pick up part 5 immediately to repent
and honestly, i didn't like it at all :/
[sp]giorno and his stand seem to only exist to EXTREMELY convenience the other characters (saving everyone's lives atleast once, maybe more could be wrong), his development ends at "i want to be a gangstar to do good for all the bad in this world"
not that this is surprising because the side characters in jojos tend to get fleshed out a lot more than the main characters (in my opinion), atleast in part 3 jotaro typically acts within the realms of his stand, which is basically just punching the everloving shit out of the enemy, or maybe outsmarting (getting lucky) the enemy. however, in part 5 giorno's stand seems to not have defined boundaries and while the stand is defined as "giving life to inanimate objects", that seems to give it free reign to commit a bunch of bullshit that i didn't find entertaining. the entire finale was botched for this reason imo because once again giorno saves the day through utterly impossible odds because his stand just seems to do what the plot wants (and then gets his requiem, like what the fuck IS this). king crimson and silver chariot requiem kind of stole the show on the finale, wasn't finding it interesting outside of these stands
in the end, i thought i appreciated fugo's development because he had the most interesting backstory that tied into his actions, not to say i didn't like the others but they were not AS interesting, though overpower giorno's completely weak backstory
the stand ideas were the only thing i can 100% praise, excluding babyface and one or two others that are probably slipping my mind i thought every stand had an interesting fight (until giorno uses asspull experience) [/sp]
that's honestly one hell of an unorganized rant, i just figured i'd put my thoughts somewhere as disjointed as they are
for the reasons above i have part 5 as the 2nd worst part in my rankings, if someone would mind explaining why i might appreciate this better because i see that part 5 typically gets a lot more praise

Worst advice a Jojo character has ever given

The SBR universe is completely unrelated to the universe resets, it's a separate universe of its own[/sp]

I'm not actually upset about it, but it still did leave me with mixed feelings. I've already got part 7 downloaded and I plan on breaking into that soon.

I don't like Part 5 very much either, I think it's mostly because not only is it not connected to the overarching story of the Joestars (apart from the very beginning), Giornio is the least interesting JoJo by a county mile because he is bland and characterless and his gangstar dream to save the childrens from doin' smack isn't very compelling.
The side characters are great (my second- or third-favorite supporting cast ensemble) and there are neat stands but overall I didn't care for it much.

and people need to stop saying "oh you don't like it because of the scans"; easily 80% has already been translated, more than enough to have an informed opinion about the story and characters

[sp]It seems kind of weird that Norisuke is constantly being hinted as a bad guy, but also having chapters showing that he isn't. What is Araki planning with him exactly?[/sp][sp]It seems he's either going to betray Josuke in favor of Jobin (cause family yatta yatta) or he's going to reluctantly be against Jobin in favor of helping Josuke with his goal.[/sp]
Also:[sp]It's been well over a year and she has finally returned. I am happy.[/sp]:happy:
The Josuke + Crazy Diamond image that's on the cover arts of the Great Days albums is really cool, so i've managed to make a transparent BG version without the logos. Basically i had to mix the two versions together, you can see that up close the bottom left part of the image is a bit lower in quality, but i think it'll do

I don't think Noriauke is being hinted as the villiam anymore, specially after the previous issue to this one.
Besides, in that same issue it is seen that [sp]it's the mother who calls Joubin and tells him something's up, with Joubin showing his deduction in this issue that his father must have given Josuke info about someone who can identify the rokaka branch.[/sp]
The real villain is actually [sp]Joushuu[/sp].
I really wish we had another game like Heritage for the Future that could be played in competitive enviroment. Something like ASB but less fan-service-ish that emphasized game balance.
Honestly a version of ASB that doesn't take 10 minutes to load a match would be enough.
I gotta say, Josuke's hair, it terrifies me on an instinctual, primal level.
Its like this inhuman mop of purple hamburger that human hair grows out of and hangs off of upside down.

I'd just love a Heritage For The Future style fighting game that had more than just Part 3 characters(and Part 2 Joseph).

Did you know Heritage For The Future was supposed to have the Pillar Men, Wired Beck, and Stroheim too?
Kars, Wham and ACDC would've been great in that game.
I still wish Rubber Soul wasn't a "Clone" of Kakyoin and actually had he's true self as the default sprite.
Ah yes, Wired Beck. Truly the best Jojo character
