Sorry for the lack of content, this is far harder than i thought it’d be. But as a refresher Antfish just put up episode of JJBATAS.
Pretty good if you ask me. The exchnage between Zeppeli and Dio is of particular note. I can already see people redrawing Will as the Pringles man or the Monopoly man, it works too well. Enjoy this long awaited episode.
The GMX pics will be coming soon.
Over the course of the past 5 years or so, a group called NendoTairiku has been working on a massive Jojo’s fan game called Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: The 7th Stand user. As of a couple weeks ago, the game has been released in English thanks to the efforts of Super Bonk. I just picked it up. It’s definitely worth anyone’s time.
The game is basically a retelling of Stardust Crusaders, however you play as a new stand user who one day happens to meet Jotaro Kujo after he was released from prison. As the result of this you get caught up in their globetrotting adventure. You take a test to see what kind of stand you get, the combat is Etrian Odyssey style POV RPG combat, it’s pretty cool. And the sprite work is phenomenal.
So yeah that looks like it was ripped straight from the manga. This was a massibe project and the work really shows. Aside from the graphics looking fairly amazing, the game has 18 possible unique stands for you to choose, the game’s story actually does transcend the original manga as you will fight stand users from other parts, and the story has a total of 19 possible endings. Also, the game has some fantastic music with only a few hiccups. Here’s an example:
Definitely check the 7th stand user out. It’s fairly fun and it invokes some old RPG nostalgia with a jojo’s twist. You can download the game here.
This chapter is weirdly put together. There’s a long explanation by Norisuke about how he runs his store sandwiched between some plot progression and our next source of mysterious intrigue. I don’t mind, though, because it brings in some kinda funny moments. After Yotsuyu’s fight dragging on, it’s nice to see Noisuke get even more spotlight.
Time to finally learn the details of these little goodies. The first Stardust Crusaders blu-rays have finally made an appearance on the main site with all their special bonuses laid out. Each disk will contain 4 episodes, this one has the first four of course. There are six total, and if you buy all six, there is a special bonus figure from Di Moltobene that there isn’t of a picture of yet. This specific disk’s early run copies come with the special JoJo raDIO CD and the storyboard booklet from Episode 1 that you see in the image. Each disk will be ¥9,500 from various vendors each with their own bonuses.
Each disk is launching a little less than a month apart, so see you in a few weeks for the next one!

Well would you look at that? Viz is going to start publishing physical copies of Phantom Blood. I guess if we can get an official English anime, we can get an official English manga. You can currently preorder them from Amazon for $16.30, and they’ll be coming out February of next year. Huh.
And if you can, please do. The more support thrown behind this, the more official JoJo’s we get here, and that can’t be underestimated. So have at it.
This episode contains something that’s a big deal, so be ready for that if you go look at the pictures.
Do you fancy yourself the type that would be in a cover band? Maybe looking for that piece that can launch your love affair with a musical instrument that happens to live in your comfort zone? No worries because Doremi Music is releasing a the score for “JoJo ~That Blood’s Fate~” “BLOODY STREAM” and “STAND PROUD.” And these are full on band scores, too. Not an adaptation for piano or something, so the book totals 64 pages of glorious JoJo beats.
You can preorder them until June 20th from Doremi’s website for ¥1,620. Their URLs are awkward, but you should see that image in the top bar among the other scores you can buy. If not, put ジョジョ in the search box, use the second selection from the drop down menu, and click the top button. It’ll be the first link you can click. You do need to be a member of Doremi to buy it, but it’s free. When you click the buy button, it’ll take you to a login page. Just click the link on the left to go to the registry page. Sorry for the combo lock to get the stuff, but it’s their website.
