[QUOTE=NotAName;50928474]How can a part be filler when each one is a (mostly) self contained story?[/QUOTE]
Because it doesn't further the plot.
I disagree that its filler, but if the main plot of Jojo is the Joestar family fighting vampires and protecting the world from Dios plan then yeah, a self contained story in which you meet a new character with little relation to the others fighting a villain who's only area of influence is the town in which it's set then yeah, seems fillery.
But by that logic part 5 is almost filler, if not for the stuff at the end.
I mean, part 8 does not have relation to any Dio that we know of, so by that logic, should it also be considered filler?

Well no, [sp]new timeline, with a new plot thread. I'm haven't been keeping up with jojolion but i do know the stuff about the whole rock disease being related to part 7.[/sp]
So not really.
Is [sp]SBR and JoJolion being separate from the Stone Mask universe[/sp] a spoiler? [sp]IIRC Araki confirmed that SBR universe is not the Irene universe[/sp]

Not really but i know some people wouldn't like to hear about a [sp]Universe reset[/sp] regardless.
And did he? Thats a shame, well i'm making them being in the same one my headcanon until something in the plot debunks it. It gives me a little hope to imagine that [sp]Emporio will still exist a couple decades after Jojolion.[/sp]

[sp]I don't think he's ever made a statement about it, if the wiki is anything to go by: "Importantly, Hirohiko Araki has not stated whether the universe shown at the end of Stone Ocean is the SBR universe or an altogether different one; and he indicates in the All Star Battle guidebook that Diamond is Unbreakable and JoJolion are parallel worlds not linked in time or space, and that their respective characters will never meet each other in the manga, including both Josukes and Rohan."[/sp]
So we're probably going to have to wait and see if (Not really sure if this is really a spoiler but I'm doing so to be safe)[sp]JoJolion or any future parts[/sp]answer that question. If ever.

[sp]They deal with some of Dio's underlings, it's no different than part 6 in that regard (minus, you know, Pucci being successful). Part 2 also had nothing to do with Dio but they dealt with a world-ending threat[/sp]

Yeah but its still one interconnected story. Pillar men, vampires, stone mask, joseph joestar, Pucci going on with Dios plans.

I think you can answer that pretty succinctly (Part 8 Mega Spoilers) [sp]In Jojolion, it's revealed that the Yoshikage Kira in Part 8 is the son of Holly Joestar, who, instead of marrying a Kujo, married a Kira. Combine this with the fact that it takes place in 2010, which I do believe is way past Part 6's part of the timeline, and I think we have separate universes.[/sp]

If [sp]the final scene of Stone Ocean is set in the same time period pre-reset, then it would be around 2011-2012, which is the same as JoJolion[/sp]
Edited:
Man fuck this [sp]alternate timeline shit[/sp] almost as confusing as King Crimson.
[QUOTE=New Cidem;50932430]It's extremely heavily implied that [sp]SBR and Jojolion are separate. The existence of JJL Kira Yoshikage is one of the most damning pieces of evidence.[/SP][/QUOTE]
You mean [sp]sbr-verse and the main universe are seperate? Cause we see Johnny in Part 8[/sp]

shit I meant the [sp]Irene-verse[/sp] when I get to thinking about this shit really hard my brain starts to stop working. My bad.

[sp] I believe they just revealed JJL universe's Jolyne, and she's not Irene.[/sp]

the bachelorette has made finding quality jojo content much harder

Dire's Thunder Cross Split Attack is perfect in both offense and defense. No one has ever been able to defeat it!

Not having Esidisi as "The Hothead" was a wasted opportunity.
I've long since been caught up on the manga, and so has a bunch of my friends, so I found a channel that has a group of mostly anime-onlys watching the episodes as they come out
normally I despise react channels but these anime-onlys, MY anime-onlys, I like to see their faces when Araki pulls some Classic Araki shit. Watching them try to comprehend the last ep was a treat

KQ LOOKIN' PRETTY GOOD NOW.

i have to confess my sins as well, some jojo reactions (only some though) are a guilty pleasure of mine
This is how I feel about all the bullshit JoJo pulls.

It's still looks kinda iffy design-wise in the shot where he's [sp]covered in Harvests[/sp] but that last profile shot looks perfect.
My faith in DavidPro has been restored.
He still needs to be PINKER

There is no such thing as color consistency in JoJo and [URL="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/9/9e/Volume_38.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120215020032"]blue Killer Queen[/URL] is the patrician's choice.
[QUOTE=Hakita;50944558]i have to confess my sins as well, some jojo reactions (only some though) are a guilty pleasure of mine[/QUOTE]
I also have to confess that I watch reaction compilations for jojo episodes
I wonder if the Blu-Ray will keep Killer Queen's design in the previous episode or if it'll be one of the "fixes" on top of correcting the QUALITY.

The ears still look like crap
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;50945126]KQ looks good in this shot though
[IMG]http://puu.sh/qNPdl/cc514be11f.png[/IMG][/QUOTE]
that's because you don't see the goblin ears, that shit puts me off
it's nice that goblin queen looks a lot better, and normally I'd just chalk up the other moment to standard QUALITY moments
but not only was the reveal last ep THE REVEAL, but it was also one of the most iconic poses/panels of Part 4, if not all of jjba. It was kinda depressing that they botched such an important pose
