Episode 25 “Birth of the Ultimate Lifeform” Teaser Images

There’s my boy. Or can you say that Cars is a boy at this point. I’m still disappointed that the SEX USELESS doesn’t shoot out of his crotch as a sound effect, but seeing it down there in all caps as part of this scene pulled directly from the manga makes me pretty happy.

I’m not doing tons of preview images here because we’re busy with the con, but you can always check out all of them at Yaraon.

Ahem, if I may. FUCKING PIRANHAS! FUCKING PIRANHAS! FUCKING PIRANHAS!

For the honor of all JoJo and also GeJo!

So yeah. That’s all right? Yeah, I’m wondering about the special announcement too. I haven’t seen anything on Yaraon, forums, JoJo Twitter, or the anime official site other than that the Vol. 4 Blu-rays are now up on Amazon and a wild comment on Yaraon mentioning wondering about Part 3. We may have to wait until the subs come out because it’s inline or something that wouldn’t show up in screenshots. Don’t worry. It’ll come.

Episode 25 “Birth of the Ultimate Lifeform” Preview Images and Synopsis

And Cars, who fell to Earth as a nearly invincible superman, has become a truly invincible living god to whom certain human or even pillar men things may now be useless. Joseph employs the Commandeered Nazi Airplane variant on Joestar Ultimate Secret Technique to buy enough time to figure out how to beat the unbeatable. Cars is in hot pursuit. What is Joseph going to do?!

I think the animation is important in this episode. One Director and Storyboarder, Kenichi Suzuki, and one screenwriter, tokusatsu lady Yasuko Kobayashi. The normal amounts for those jobs, but not one, not two, but a whopping five animation directors! Tatsuya Shirashi, Manabu Akita, Shinichi Machida, Kyoko Kotani, and Ryo Kobayashi. Every single one is a previous staff on the show working with animation direction. I guess when it’s Piranha o’Clock, you have to bring in the cavalry.

Episode 18 “Corps’s Counterattack” Preview Images and Synopsis and Phantom Blood OST 2: FUTURE Release Date and Previews

Ooh, now this is a sticky wicket. The title of this episode spoils something pretty big, so much so that I actually fudged the translation a lot to take the spoiling part out. It’s interesting because the synopsis makes no mention of it and the images aren’t so forward about it either. Maybe the site wanted to leave it a mystery as much as they could? Well, it doesn’t matter. Anyone who saw the “Next Episode” preview would already know, so if someone’s bothered by the name, I’ll correct it.

The only bigger image I was able to lift out of the “Next Episode” preview this time is this one, and the timing is a little off.

But another “Awesome Pictures of Joseph” candidate makes it worth it.

Team this time is nothing but alums. The big thing is that this episode has the huge number of three directors like the last one had so many animation directors so that ACDC’s crying looked exactly right. Shingo Uchida, who is also on storyboard, Yoneda Mitsuhiro and Tsuda Naokatsu are all directing. Naokatsu and Uchida are the interesting ones because they haven’t been around since directing Episode 6 and 1 respectfully. Oh, did I say that the last episode had a lot of animation directors? Yeah, this one has five. Hotani Yukitoshi, Kenji Yokoyama, Kyoko Kotani, Shin Hyung Woo, and Madoka Ozawa are all animation directors. I can understand why, I know how important what’s about to happen is, but man that’s a lot of people. And they left all the screenplay up to Shinichi Inotsume. They could have probably gotten him at least an assistant, or at least given his assistant a credit.

While the synopsis isn’t really that straightforward about the thing that made me mess with the title, it is pretty straightforward about ACDC. It breaks down pretty much to ACDC comes back to attack Lisa Lisa, Joseph and Caeser have to fight him, and, in the process, they learn that Cars and Wham are in St. Mortiz, Switzerland plotting to get the Red Stone of Aja. Leaves a lot of room for speculation as to how ACDC is going to be fighting those two considering his condition.

That’s not all though. The official site has announced the release date of the second OST.

FUTURE

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: The Animation OST Phantom Blood: FUTURE, is, on top of being quite a mouthful, going to be released on February 22nd. It’s probably going to be packaged in with whatever blu-ray release is scheduled for that date as the last OST, DESTINY, was packaged in with the first blu-ray. On top of the announcement, the page also has previews of a few of the tracks on the album if you’d like to check those out.
