[QUOTE=Hakita;47848731]the ova has great action, some really good direction and (sometimes) great animation, but those are pretty much the only good things about it[/QUOTE]
fun fact Satoshi Kon(Pefect Blue,Paranioa Agent) directed an episode of the ova

Interesting video of Araki doing some art of the Jojos. Pretty cool to see his process of creating artwork
[QUOTE=xalener;47848790]
The OVAs are fucking beautiful albeit inaccurate and imperfect works of art created by some of the greatest minds in the industry. The current anime series is made by people who have a fraction of the budget and *possibly* a fraction of the talent but with exponentially more love for the source material.[/QUOTE]
It really comes down to whether you want a pragmatic adaptation, which changes things and paces itself accordingly, or the hyper-accuracy of the David anime which is both its strongest and weakest point. It makes it awkward to judge a lot of factors since it reverts back to that accuracy vs adjustment for an anime format since that sort of is a valid excuse much of the time. Whether or not thate excuse is a good or a bad thing is the issue.
I plan to watch the OVA afterwards since I'm very interested in seeing what they do to it and how they structure the fights without Jojo's turn-based format.
Now I kinda want to see Joseph and Kars falling off the cliff in real time, which has be less than four seconds long.

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;47848652]day late responding, sorry, but i didn't like it for a LOT of reasons, mostly because the pace was too goddamn fast and breakneck compared to the scene from the OVA which completely ruins it
Compare this week's car and sidewalk scenes to the OVA's, ordered respectively

clarification: i loved the episode, but thought it was hot garbage compared to the [I]untouchable[/I] satoshi kon version[/QUOTE]
I'll agree with you there that the execution there is great. The "but muh-anga accuracy" is pretty weak, it's just the only thing to say when that's the route they picked for the adaptation.
[QUOTE=xalener;47848790]That's almost everything.
The list of [I]bad[/I] shit would be shorter than the list of good. Like, it sucks that the series starts halfway in and the beginning is picked up years later with a fraction of the quality. The english dubs are fucking hysterically awful and make 4kids look competent. The soundtrack sounds like it was done in a few hours with an old casio. All that against the good things about the OVA though... There's no fucking contest.

the character designs and voice acting are awful, Dio looks like a meth addicted past-his-prime rockstar and sounds like some random 40 year old off the street instead of an incredibly charismatic and manipulative vampire
Dio's World is overall done decently in the OVA, and from what i remember D'Arby's arc as well, but the rest are incredibly forgettable and mediocre (Vanilla Ice's amazing fight only gets 10 minutes in the OVA, what's up with that)
the visual side is incredibly inconsistent, sometimes looking beautiful and sometimes looking [url=http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/521/224/225.gif]like[/url] [url=http://33.media.tumblr.com/86a7935a0a516f51f56002edb0cd399b/tumblr_inline_n5py0v8qsG1rlfgq6.jpg]absolute[/url] [url=http://38.media.tumblr.com/447d618ad0a8d0fd0ae3cd2788cd53b2/tumblr_inline_n5py41SK3J1rlfgq6.jpg]garbage[/url]
the colors are all washed out, almost all of the comedy is just gone and there's absolutely no fabulous stylishness that jojo is really known for
on it's own, it's a decent action OVA with a great finale, but as a jojo adaptation it's just awful
[QUOTE=Oldaveragejoe;47849098]fun fact Satoshi Kon(Pefect Blue,Paranioa Agent) directed an episode of the ova[/QUOTE]
figured, the senator scenes were done fantastically camerawork-wise
I've seen bits a pieces of the OVA and I agree the action looks great, everything has way more energy. But its missing all of style of JoJo which is basically the best thing about it. The OVA just looks like fist of the north star with stands.
And Star Platinum's ora ora is waaaay too slow and deep. The anime nails it.
I just don't like the character design of the OVA, The animations are great but i can't really appreciate it when the characters look like shit.

Polnareff you feeling alright?
The washed out colors of the OVA really irk me. It looks so bad. I'm inclined to attribute it to age, but there are plenty of early/mid-90's cartoons that looked way better, particularly in the color theory department.

So in short, a may-be overpowered vampire-like.
After watching the episode, I feel like they should've strayed from the manga a bit and tried to mimic the escaping from DIO scene from the OVA. They could've done it with Polnareff too - just make it look like the stairs are looping by switching the camera to an isometric point of view.
