[QUOTE=Zeos;50392091]Did something happen between Part 3 and Part 4's Anime airing? They're super anal about names now[/QUOTE]
They were always anal about names

It's funny how they censored some of the names but actually kept " Vanilla Ice" and " Billie Jean" in the part 3 subs. It never made sense to be honest.
Same goes for D'arby since comes from a actual singer's name too.
It's not the fact that they're more anal,it's just that there's more latant music references in Part 4

Billie Jean was the censored version, and I don't think they actually called him Vanilla Ice in the official subtitles.
My point still stands when it comes to D'arby's name then.
Also I think I might have watched a different version from you guys at least in terms of subtitles. Where they actually used Vanilla's Ice name.

They replaced Daniel J and Terrence T with just "elder" and "younger" and Vanilla Ice was Cool Ice. Such is the case in Crunchyroll's subs, the official English subs for the west.
Also in parts one and two, Tarkus/Bruford were Tarukus/Bluford, Straits became Straizo, Loggins/Messina were Loggs/Meshina, all the Pillar Men were fucked up (most of them in good ways, but Santana?), and random Nazi assassin Donovan became Donobang.
Furthermore, for part 3, Devo the Cursed became Soul Sacrifice, Captain Tennille became Captain Dragon, J.Geil became Centerfold, ZZ was Zii Zii, Enya was Enyaba, Steely Dan was Dan of Steel... I could go on.
Nothing's changed, really.
I did appreciate that several of the replacement names were songs by the bands, like Centrefold and Zenyatta Mondatta. It's the least they could do.

Zenyatta Mondatta is an album by the Police and not a song by Oingo Boingo tough.
The most confusing thing about the name changes is that normal words in English like Echoes and Surface apparently needed to be changed but a guy literally named R.E.O. Speedwagon is just fine. What?
I'm just glad they never changed Dio.

Speaking of the Police I'm surprised they didn't rename Koichi's dog.
The one that gets me is the fact that Kiss had to be censored in ASB. Really? Kiss?
What were the consequences?
"Gene, a PS3 game just came out that features the word Kiss™ in it!"
"Call the lawyers"

have you ever heard of a situation where gene simmons wasn't a copyright dick?
Just finished reading DiU and it only made me even more hyped to keep watching the anime.
On to part 5, which I hope I'm not disappointed in since I've heard here that the translation isnt great?

The translation is kinda shit around 2/3rds in, but at least a good group is getting new scans and translations so if you don't mind waiting a bit longer you could probably read it all in fairly good quality in a few months.

Thanks! Good to know. I'm glad I was introduced to Jojo when I was, it seems like a pretty good time to start diving into it all.

If you can read French or Italian IIRC there's scans of those versions up on the web.

Jesus fuck this was good.
It's Italian next week, right?
I hate how perceptive I've become of mistakes in animation.
[sp]Echoes 2's tail tip was visible in a shot during the cliff scene after losing it and it frustrated me to hell and back[/sp]
Goddamn the animation and sound design in this episode was some of the strongest in the series so far. I like how whenever a dramatic close up happens it's always accompanied by a loud boom and some kind of kiai type vocal sample.
Reverb [sp]Act 2[/sp] had the coolest goddamn sound effect when dashing, holy hell. It's definitely the 90's [sp]when you can hear a dialup tone[/sp]
why the fuck are they still using the EDM mix for Crazy Noisy Pizza Town
it doesn't fit AT ALL.

The first seven had the original tune, right? Presumably every several episodes we'll get a "new" remix of the song, because variety.
i'd assume the OP changes after the next episode or after the first cour since tonio is the last guy in the OP and he'll be appearing in the next episode
I just realized we still have a way to go before we're finally introduced to[sp]Kira.[/sp]
I thought it would be sometime next month or so, but completely forgot about the[sp]invisible baby[/sp]and[sp]rats[/sp]arc.:v:
[sp] Goddamnit Josuke and Okuyasu you two saw the house and even then you clowns took so damn long to arrive [/sp]

My favorite (Part 4 main antagonist spoiler) non-[sp]kira[/sp] arc is finally getting animated next week and best of all it comes out on my birthday.
It's like a dream come true.
