The Original Jojo Anime Was a Perplexing Cinematic Masterpiece

  The reason the OVAS starts at the desert and not from the start of the story is because this wasn't meant for newer audience but for diehard JoJo fans who already have read the manga. The late chapters of Stardust Crusaders where by far the most popular and everyone wanted to see Dio, and with budget for only a bunch of episodes, it doesn't looks like the worst choice.

  I love how DIO in this series uses the world FOR ATTACKS sparingly. It really sells the fact he's overconfident in his own ability

  Cannot believe you didn't do a comparison of where Dio just completely blips from the frames in the OVA, that added a level of stress that the 2015 animation didn't match imo

  This was my first exposure to Jo Jo's in the 90s. I didn't care that I didn't know what was going on. I was hooked as soon as Iggy schooled Polnareff and I showed all 6 episodes to all my friends. No one ever complained about being confused, what we were watching was too badass. It turned me into a Jo Jo scholar and I pieced together everything else through message boards and fan translated scans.

  It still baffles me that SATOSHI KON of all people worked on the final battle

  Actually, Joseph IS using his purple hermit vines to swing in that scene of ep. 5. Reason we can&apos;t see it is that the shot in this case was showing a &quot;bystanders perspective&quot; where stands are invisible.<br>Technically DIO can&apos;t fly either, he&apos;s using his stand to propel himself in the air, iirc.

  Time to re-upload my original comment. Gotta boost that algorithm.<br><br>Say it with me now. While David Productions fills the background with dramatic music at all times, studio A.P.P.P willingness to sit in complete silence for several seconds at a time heightens the tension in quiet moments like these.

  That Senator car scene was very well directed. Really fits the theme of Dio trolling with his stand to seem omnipotent.

  “An Oil Tanker for you” is when you go to the store to get some “Road Rolla Da” &nbsp;but they’re out so you get the next thing closest to it

  On the voice acting bit, genuinely the Italian dub of the OVA might be the best voice acting the OVA got.<br><br>Unrelated, silver chariot having that gold trim in the OVA looks so good
