Just checking, this is the dvd release of the recent JBA series right?

If so then wow, that is so utterly rubbish. I sincerely hoped that the UK release will be better than that which is probably will given to the little effort has been put in the US version.

You think that's bad? Check out the DVD of Mad Max: Fury Road. The DVD is unshiny and unchrome. >:[ I'm afraid I must say that it is MEDIOCRE!!

Funny thing is, I'm going to start reading Jojo's Bizarre Adventure tomorrow, since I finally got my hands on a copy of volume one. As in, the first volume they ever made.

I wonder if it's going to be anything like the weirdness people talk about here. It didn't seem that weird when I flipped through it

Stands get introduced in Stardust Crusaders, and they're still pretty logical. Diamond is not Crash (at least it's hilarious DUWANG) starts bringing the weird shit and it escalates up to universal reboot.

In first and second story arcs, the wierdest things are poses and character propotions, since Araki (author) was still finding his style.

On Topic: This is disgraceful. Why would I, after finding about the customer of a legitimate copy is treated, even think to EVER buy such a crappy thing?

What is JoJo's Bizarre adventure?

What is JoJo's Bizarre adventure????!!!!

Take this:


Make it manlier, sparklier and more ridiculous and only then will you get close in understanding JoJo's Bizarre Adventure without embracing it.

Dragoong is correct, but afterwards you'll still be left mostly in the dark.

Give in.
The only way to truly understand JoJo is to watch it.

That's an ugly menu. I could do better myself in an hour with DVDStyler and I've barely used the thing.

They seriously couldn't sit one of their underpaid interns down in front of a computer for a couple hours to turn out something vaguely competent-looking?

Are you sure that's not a bootleg? I mean, really really sure it's not a bootleg??
It can't be a bootleg, bootleggers actually put more effort into their menus than this!
If that's the case, then Warner Brothers suck at being legit bootleggers... :p

Couple with the fact that the En DUB for Part 1 and 2 is atrocious, Warner has given me even less incentive to buy anime on DVD ever again.

I usually manage to show those sweet sweet innocents the insane glory that is JoJo by linking the following.

Here's some of our heroes:



Here's some of our villains:



And there you have JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It's basically weaponized vogue.

It's one of the few anime I truly love (helped by them using a Yes song in the OST, I mean dude yes) and yet they did that to the DVD release? The fact alone that there's just a DVD too is atrocious. I mean look at those pictures, look at those colours and that art, the sparkles man. That shit deserves some Full HD goodness.

]That's... really, really sad.

For Jojo, this is exceedingly depressing. I hope the dub's at least alright.

Hopefully they'll fix this at some point, after what will likely be a huge backlash.
If the Dub is anything like what I've seen on Youtube, then that's a long shot. Those dubs were "so bad it's good" at best.
