| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol and that's why it's not a good idea to piss off Josuke. Too bad for Angelo. About roughly ..3-4 chapters adapted. Glad to see they're able to finish adapting the Angelo parts for this episode and move on to the next part. I liked Josuke and Kouichi's chemistry this episode as well. Cool to see Nijimura's appearance too and poor Kouichi, pretty fun stuff.  |

| "Yo, Angelo". Koichi doesn't seem to be in good shape. The Hand was an awesome stand! This arc may go on for another two more episodes. |
 |
| I just really love the atmosphere that this show is giving. Props due the director and the composer for setting the mood well. Really liked the soundtrack that played during Okuyasu's fight. The Hand was animated well. Really like the sound effect for it. |
| Nice episodes once again, but the lack of budget compared to Stardust is really showing. I really hope the BD looks better, Duwang deserves more than that :( |

| Angelo needs to learn how to pay better attention. So, there are natural stand users, and a bow and arrow that can be used to unlock the stands from ordinary people--as was done with Dio. Crazy. Seeing Koichi get shot in the neck with that arrow was... savage. 5/5 |

I really hope the BD looks better, Duwang deserves more than that :( The animation is way better than in SC. Its not that big of a difference in budget really. And also the budget isnt everything. The staff involved and their skill is more important. OPM had low budget yet still amazing production values, because of skilled animators and their desire/will. I think they are doing great job with the adaptation of part 4 for now. Yeah, I agree. This adaptation has a lot of talented people working on it and has great shining moments. They're being really creative with the transitions between scenes and how the Stands comes to life. And though this episode had a restricted budget and a more padding pacing, the scenes with The Hand were amazing. |
| Not as good as episode 2. Episode 2 was wonderfully made cause of its pacing and great animation. This episode had some moments which were actually weird to look at but all in all still great and especially the direction of the story. Maybe I'm just a bit to cocky and expect to much from DP. I love how the Angelo stone is a thing now. |
Nidhoeggr said: Nice episodes once again, but the lack of budget compared to Stardust is really showing. I really hope the BD looks better, Duwang deserves more than that :( Although not as much as Season 1, Stardust Crusaders was often stiff as a board. They placed the animation where it really "matter"ed here in this ep. |
| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |
| okuyasu's stand sure is handy. i already know all of this from the manga but i'm still really pumped to see what's next. |
| Another great episode. Okuyasu is just the kind of character I imagined he'd be, I just hope he isn't too predictable in the future. The Hand has some sweet abilities too~ |
 |
| The ending added stuff not present in the second episode ending. Happy hunting! |

I really hope the BD looks better, Duwang deserves more than that :( Eh, compare the way Stands materialize for example. The style is idfferent sure, but it also lends itself a bit more to budget cutting than the one in Stardust. This reminds me a lot more of 2012 in the way they utilize their budget. |

I sure hope this isn't gonna be just 39 episodes, it's gonna be a disaster if it is. TheMaster100 said: The Hand was animated beautifully well. Great episode as per usual. An OVA episode was also announced (Rohan spin off). Good news, some of them are great. |

| I believe they can wrap it up in the next episode. Hoping they don't face the same problems SC did - horrible pacing. The animation is actually ok. Flat colors actually give this more of an identity and when they have action scenes, it looks better than previous seasons. |
 |
| Damn! This ep was awesome! Idk if Kouichi gets a stand, but it would be awesome if he did! |
| I'm finding the animation to be pretty awful myself. It's several notches down from SC, and unless David Pro has finally learned their lesson from previous seasons, it will probably continue to deteriorate near the end. I'm trying not to let it bother me that much though. The 2012 series was still very good despite having the same issue. It's worth noting that on the Stardust Crusaders page, they initially only had the first 6 volumes listed, then they added another part with the "Egypt season" or whatever you want to call it. It's still separated on there. The fact that they have 13 volumes listed for DiU from the onset is troubling though and very well may indicate the final ep count. |
| Great to see they finished Angelo's part this episode and introduced the concept of the bow and arrow at the same time. The fight against and Okuyasu wasn't overwhelming but managed to at least give a first taste of The Hand's abilities. galimx said: Tokoya said: Oh cool, but who is Rohan again? A guy who will soon show up here. The most fabulous one. Kira disagrees :P |
 |
| I found the scene with Josuke's mom hugging Jotaro hilarious for some reason. The Hand is one badazz Stand. Properly used it's absolutely lethal. |

| 39 episodes confirmed... sad that one [or more] mini arcs might get cut out :'( but this episode was amazing! putting the flat nose aside, the animation and scene transitions were too good! feels great to see DP taking up their game |
 |
 Ohohoo. Okuyasu is finally here. So happy that they kept his VA from All star fits him perfectly. The sound effects of the hand are so awesome! Man they have been killing it with this adaptation. I don't remember this early chapters being nearly as good as this. The art really grew on me super fast, I already think part 4 is better in visuals than part 3. And it's only getting better from here. |

| I loved this ep, the sound effects were very great. |

And yes, Duwang is still Duwang but after SC I expected... more. |

| Okuyasu is finally here! His Stand is awesome, too bad he is not very bright xD Interesting the thing about Angelo and the Stands created artificially by that Arrow who also created The World. Cannot wait for the fight against the elder Nijimura. |
 |
| Some people actually think that 2012 had the best animation. They were actually below average. It was even barely animated and the shading looked ridiculously bad. No idea what you are thinking maybe it's just satire? |
MahadoKusanagi said: I know Jotaro's current status. I still think it doesnt fit. Its not even the white itself (which i still dont really like), its more that weird transition from white to his black hair, especially when he's far away (like in this episode) and that not fitting heart and J. If you think that Angelo posed enough, then good for you. I didnt see the same. Who is talking about CGI? I dont care about that. I am talking about the overall feel. If it works for you, then congratulations. Well you're going to have a hard time adjusting to anything during/after this if you keep clinging onto what Jojo used to look like, ESPECIALLY Jotaro. Now I won't disagree about scenes not being as polished as i'd like them to so that might lend itself to people's distaste about the visuals but the weird as hell white hathair transition and the heart and J on said hathair is DP being loyal concerning Jotaro's current wardrobe. As for the posing, uhmm okay, awkward concern but I get where you are coming from. It'll come and go depending which character is going to be on screen. Though I heard some Italian gangstars like to pose a lot. So the pose is not dead. tsudecimo said: I don't remember this early chapters being nearly as good as this. It's because they weren't. :x |

2012 looked way worse than Duwang and was in general not impressive on the aniamtion front, but there is no denying that Stardust overall was better produced so far. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
The only problem I have with the quality is that the art it less detailed, especially the faces, which also shows in the animation. First half was slow :( Bow and Arrow creates stands :O Nijimura and The Hand seems cool, he's just hanging out with the wrong people. |

| Great episode! Okuyasu is cool. We now know how Dio got a Stand. Could the arc and bow be left from the Pillar Men, I can't think of any other way to create such amazing things. And lol with Josuke's mother. |
 |
| While I really like the fight between Josuke and Nijimura...but thus far the art style really makes the anime feel cheap at times :(. Oh well, still a good episode. |

Well the linework is mostly amazing or even the best I've seen. I'm fine with it... SC's details were a bit to much for me. Furthermore DP uses the less detailed backgrounds really well through zooming in/out or moving the camera. |
| Jojo continues with the greatness. |

No idea what you are thinking maybe it's just satire? Yeah the darker-skinned characters and even Joseph himself looked like they got spray-tans or something XDD |

| I don't see how more shading and bulky details equals to better production values. Art and animation in part 3 were so stiff and lifeless, it felt like there is a disconnect between the characters and the backgrounds. Part 4 is a lot more smooth, and it's particularly noticeable when Stands start to appear. |
