Episode 23:
Good episode overall. The first part dragged somewhat with the fillerish scenes but quickly escalated when The Priestess stand attack. I gotta say though....that is one ugly Stand.
OH MY GOD is the right reaction since their sub crashed deep into the ocean. Will they get out?! I want to see what happen next time.

I knew that was a bad investment. Poor Jotaro is going to be left with only walking before this is over. I wonder why so much time was spent with Suzie?

They needed filler to stretch "The High Priestess" chapters into 2 episodes

Yeah, I agree that the Suzie stuff was dragged out. I did appreciate, however, getting a status update on Holly. I'd been curious about how things were going for her.

Episode 24/Finale:
Great finale imo with the fighting, humor (HOLY SHIT), and the montage at the end. I notice they added some special sound effects to the OP song too.
Anyways, it's been a fun ride. There were some filler parts that feels dragged but I was fine with it. The creativity behind the Stands and characters really made this season stand out in more ways than one. I'm rating the first half of SC with very good. Hope the second half will be even better!

Diving lesson was nicely done.
Polnareff just can't catch a break.
It's like he's a magnet for trouble.
Poor guy got violated in so many ways..
That was one diving experience none of them are going to forget.
They fell right into a trap.. and flattery wasn't getting them anywhere.
Rose got her teeth busted by Jotaro. Why did that not surprise me?
Finally in Egypt...
Guess the fight will continue in the next season.

You know, that diving lesson was nicely done! You'd think it would have been a boring stall in the action, but they really made it work.
What did they do with Rose? She seemed to be alive when they surfaced, and broken teeth doesn't seem like a fatal injury, but once they established she was ugly from it, she literally vanished from the landscape.
Did Jotaro actually smile a little there?

Egypt Arc Episode 1:
Great start so far for both the OP and ED theme songs. I just like the way Iggy is introduced so far with his "attack". And to add on to that, I think his Stand is pretty badass.
This also set up the upcoming episodes well too with the revealing about Dio and his movements with 9 other people. If adapted right, this is going to be one hell of a ride for the season.

Season 2, episode 3:
Wow, that was just fabulous and funny from start to finish. Even the ED song was fitting. Oh how I just love the creativity of the characters and Stands from this show and the latest episode was no short of that.
Great way to present the power of "predictions", oranges, and lol...that insanely addictive ED song.

Freaking loved this episode, I never expected Jojo to make me laugh (intentionally) for such a long time, but these two brothers really did it for me. One of my favorites of this 3rd part so far, and the same with their ending (now the apocaliptic tone of the previous ones was totally gone, and I'm happy given the result). I needed something like this to rise up my expectations of the show.

Anyone know/hear anything new about part 3's english dub?
Im still wondering who dubbed those 3 episodes of jojo, (crunchyroll? viz? a studio in japan?) and are they still planning to release the dub in the west?, I know there is a chance the dub wont come out here, because those episodes were like a test. But I really hope the dub is released its one of the most fitting dubs i've heard in a long time.

The latest episode was great. Anubis has a sinister personality and I have no doubts that he will go for the kill. A much different shift in mood compared to last week.
Great execution with the action and OST as well. That cliffhanger though....can't wait for more Jojo next week!

I really have to wonder what it's going to take to get Polnareff to get the "don't go off alone" message. If I were in Avdol's shoes I think I'd forget the Stands and kill him myself.

I was just wondering the same thing myself. Viz seems the most likely candidate for having done the dubs since they licensed the manga in R1. I honestly don't know why there hasn't been a licensing announcement yet. This franchise is such a natural for a home release.

Lost some of my posts in this thread because of the server issues but the latest episode was great!
I really liked Mariah's portrayal in the story in both regards to her magnetic abilities and mischievous way of fighting against Joseph and the others.
How can anyone ignore those melons with the magnets? Too bad her own powers turned against her thanks to Joseph and Advol's strategy.
