Between this, & 30th ani Macross game-I need a PS3.

I wonder if Speedwagon is playable...

So what subs is everybody using for the show?

Mudasubs. They seem to be the most accurate, and they don't subtitle "Roundabout" at the end of the show.

Nutbladder is pretty good, too. They can tend to have some misspelled words, but it's nothing major. I think they might have subtitled 'Roundabout' at first, but they stopped doing it. I'll have to check out Muda, since Nutbladder's file sizes have been getting rather big.

Also, holy fuck, Pillar Men are scary to see in action.

Never heard of them, are they a new group? I'm just using Commie.

They've been at it at least since the beginning of the series. Not sure if they did anything before.

 

[Andy Is A Bastard]

+1 for Muda and Nutbladder

 

[Dr Shroom]

Heh.

 

[SouthtownKid]

My mind rebels against the idea that is real.

BUMP (again)

A new Artbook Collection has been announced for this fall.

The "Jojoveller" box set will include an artbook, two supplementary books, and two Blu-ray Discs.
The supplementary books include an encyclopedia on all the Stands featured in the franchise, and a "History Book" that will also feature a previously-untold story.

Link with more info & videos: HERE

 

[SouthtownKid]

fuck, how much is that going to cost me

 

[Dr Shroom]

If it's japanese exclusive (can't see the link above right now) a shitlot mostly because of the BDs.

 

[Kazuki Dash]

The collection, which is being released as a part of the 25th anniversary celebrations for the manga, will be made to order, and pre-orders will be open through May 7. The collection will cost 20,000 yen (about US$211). Another collection, without the Blu-ray Discs, will ship in spring 2014 for 8,500 yen (about US$90).

That leaves shipping as the big question.

 

[SouthtownKid]

But I want the BDs. I want them, you hear me?

 

[Dr Shroom]

Better crack open that retirement fund.

 

[SouthtownKid]

What's that?

 

[Domino-chan]

Fuck. Yes.

 

[Dr Shroom]

Fuck. Yes.

I fucking knew it.

 

[SouthtownKid]

Am I missing something? The first run of the series has been over for a month. Why can't I find any episodes after 21? Where are 22-26?

 

[Dr Shroom]

nyaatorrents most likely. The tumblr page from muda has them too.

 

[SouthtownKid]

Thank you, old buddy. That did it.

I started reading JJBA about a week ago, I'm around chapter 94 now (Caesar just died; wtf man aughhh jojo didn't even get to say goodbye god)

Phantom Blood was pretty amateur (aside from the kickass art). I liked it more when it was just Dio being a dick to Jonathan; when it went into the supernatural genre, that's when things kinda seemed messy. There even seemed to be a deus ex machina somewhere, I think it was when Dio used eye lasers for no reason other than the author deciding why not.

Battle Tendency is all kinds of great, though. A globetrotting adventure, the archetypal cool anti-hero, villains with honor - I'd love to see the fights animated.

The art style between this and FOTNS looks so similar...are there any others that look similar?

 

[Dr Shroom]

Part III (Stardust Cursaders, has an official english version by Viz) involves even more globetrotting...it's the most popular part too. I prefer Part 2's narrative but Part 3 has the better characters.

The artstyle changes alot mid Part IV (Diamond is unbreakable) when Araki decided to go full fabulous, the similarity in art between HnK and JJBA is most obvious during Phantom Blood, JJBA started back when HnK was still running. The series is also known for all kinds of amazing deus ex machina/asspulls but that's probably one of the reasons why it's so popular.
