Is it weird that I got more emotional reading the review than I did watching the episode? JoJo's and babies are never my favorite thing, and they use them almost as much as dogs.
Why is Joseph wearing that ugly leopard print hunter's cap? What happened to his fedora? |

Why, don't you know? Old people always wear weird hats. It's like the law, or something. *snark*
All in all, this was pretty okay. The scene with the store clerk was about 47 times longer than it needed to be, but by the time old man Joseph adorably bossed it out in the end I was too busy awwwwwwwing to even care. And seriously, how often does JoJos make you go awwww? Well worth the ride. |

Over the course of Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders, Diamond Is Unbreakable We've only had one baby death in comparison to like 7 dog deaths over those four arcs. |

Who said anything about dead babies?
 JoJo's has just had a lot of babies in it, from Mannish Boy in Crusaders, and spoiler[Polnareff] becoming a baby, and now this one, and it seems like they've encountered other random babies, but I could be wrong. Plus it also seems like lately some of the Stands are more baby-shaped than I remember.

Uh...I don't really remember any? I mean, the only ones I can count are Lisa Lisa, whose face is never shown, but is carried by Erina after escaping the explosion. The second one is Mannish Boy, and the third one is not Polnareff, since Polnareff was turned into a child, not a baby, it was the woman who was taking care of him that became a fethus. And this baby is the fourth one. There is some sort of baby in Part 5 and 6, but not exactly so. |

If they can show his naughty bits uncensored and there's a poop joke, he counts as a baby to me.

So I'm not caught up on the anime yet but I have finished reading the manga. To be honest, in the episode where we see the Nijimura brothers' dad, I came really, really close to crying when their dad picked up the fixed family photo. I didn't feel anything reading that chapter in the manga.
Also, that was the closest I've ever been to crying while watching an anime. So, anything can happen with Jojo. One might say it's quite bizarre.

I've been waiting a long time to say this:
IT'S THE GREAT KISHIBEEEEEE ROHAAAAAAAANNNN!!!!!!! You should all love him, and if you don't you simply can't understand the subtleties of his work. But in all seriousness, Rohan is possibly one of the most weirdly charming characters in Part 4, and one of my favorite Jojo characters, so it's great to finally see him animated. I think I prefered Hiroshi Kamiya's voice for Rohan (the one used in the games), as he was way more exaggerated for his delivery (you could almost FEEL the narcisism), but the current VA is not bad either, and does a good job at portraying the character. |

Rohan is actually spoiler[The final addition to the main cast.]
Not really a big spoiler at all but I put it in spoiler tags anyway. |

So this is how he got the ideas to create JoJo.

Heaven's Door in action is easily one of the most disturbing fictional images I've seen all year - and this is coming from someone who watches a ton of horror movies.

The "body horror" in Araki's stuff actually gets "worse" (creepier) as he gets more comfortable with drawing the human body. It's pretty wild to read, although it's also really interesting to someone like myself who was almost an art student. In my own opinion, Part 4 does the best job of balancing likeable characters with this total weirdness. |
