#and MARC still has that stupid romantic little belief its all gonna be okay. this is just what you do to win a title

[moonshynecybin]

seriously why would jlo say that knowing he eventually won the championship some say solely due to marc giving him a tow + falling in sepang + defending for him in valencia. now i’m thinking of vale in that podcast saying he heard from friends of spanish friends that marc didn’t want him to win the championship… i’m like 2 quotes from believing marc actually was sabotaging him in PI lmao

just bc marc was being a bit of a whiny twenty two year old does not mean he was sabotaging vale. like that man still had vale's toy bikes up next to his bunk bed lets be serious

Thoughts on the “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” English dub. Episode one.

hello again. this is going to be an interesting experience because while I have read all of Jojo I have not actually watched every episode. also when the dub was first dropped I remember just hating what little I heard of it apart from Patrick Seitz as Dio. I think now that the dust has settled and I’m over the fact that Jonathan and Joseph sport British accents its worth it to actually look at it and judge it appropriately. because let’s face it you can’t gauge how a dub is by watching three short clips from it

I also think its going to be good going back to Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency because honestly PB is very underrated within the fandom and while I still think BT is the weakest plot wise it still contains some of my favorite characters in the series as well as some very great moments. I am of the firm belief that you cannot skip Jojo parts. you cannot start with SDC, I don’t care if you think Hamon was stupid or find the idea of PB and BT boring. you have to at least watch this because otherwise you will not understand why Jonathan is so important, you will get none of Dio’s development as its all confined to PB, and you’re missing out on a large reason why Joseph is such a great character (he’s more than an old man shouting “OH MY GOD”).

I don’t think this is me being unfair. I’m not saying you have to go read all eight parts of Jojo within a span of a month or anything. I just think you should start from the beginning and progress forward. if you’re most excited for SDC or DIU that’s okay, but you can’t use them as a starting point because contrary to what some have claimed all Jojo parts are interconnected

anyhow let’s go

so its interesting that Dario of all characters is the first one to talk

he’s voiced by Steve Kramer, you know Wiseman from Sailor Moon and the Third Hokage from Naruto

his accent is kinda inconsistent, but to be honest I’m going to do my best to not nitpick everyone’s accent too much

holy shit is that Dio’s mom?

why isn’t she blond? I kinda always headcanonned her as blond. then again I should be happy she’s here at all

also I am trying to comb Jojo wiki, but I can’t find who voices her

and there’s the Stone Mask, it sure is....stoney

hello Jorge, I don’t like you to be honest because you were a dick to your son

he is played by Marc Diraison who was Guts in the Berserk dub and voices Ging Freecss in the HXH dub

okay so Jonathan and Dio sounding so old at the age of twelve, the Japanese version did the same thing and its weird things like this that kinda give the series its charm

same goes with them not looking twelve at all, Araki has never been good at drawing children so just roll with it

Dio who holds a book like that?

I like how fandom likes to claim Dio has no reason for being the way he is when that’s actually wrong. he hated his father for what he did to his mother and for keeping him in destitution because his drinking was more important to him, ironically some of his father’s hedonism still rubbed off on him

guess you shoulda read the Phantom Blood!

who gives a twelve year old wine!?

ERINA

she is voiced by Michelle Ruff and WOW people love having her play romantic interest to Johnny Yong Bosch’s characters don’t they? too bad Rukia and Ichigo weren’t a thing in the end

“I’ve never met her, but I’ll fight for her all the same!” I love Jonathan

so....did the anime just skip over the fact that Dario abused and worked Dio’s mother to death and sold all her belongings despite his son’s protests stating “what use to I have for some dead bitch’s things” which instigated Dio murdering him?

JONATHAN JUST WANTED TO BE A GENTLEMAN FUCK YOU DIO

okay the anime should have kept the stuff about Dio’s mom and the fact that he murdered Dario because if I didn’t read the manga I just would have assumed Dario died of illness

aaaaaand pose

“you must be Dio Brando, right?” Jonathan if I were you I’d take Danny and run

said it before, say it again, if you are sensitive to dogs being hurt don’t watch Jojo

“you will treat him as you would my own son” but you sure won’t you piece of shit

one of my favorite things the fandom convinced non fans was that Dio killed a dog in self defense, like guys....

I never understood why Dio tugged on his earlobe like that

literally the worst thing about Jonathan was that he was a sloppy eater, he didn’t deserve any of this

“tch what an oaf” well at least he didn’t die from a deus ex machina

Johnny’s doing a better job than I remember

“damn that Dio, its terrible. he’s ruining everything he touches” you have no idea

I.....hate that the anime make Danny anatomically correct

people make a big deal about Jonathan feeding Danny a grape, but I genuinely don’t think Araki knows this is a bad thing to do to a dog

this is one of my favorite Dio outfits

KISS

okay....he’s gonna say it in three...two...one...

“you thought your first kiss would be Jojo, but it was I Dio!”

I think my favorite thing about Patrick Seitz is when he was announced as Dio he memed us, he took that picture and wrote “you were expecting Dio, but it was me Patrick!” like sir

and Erina washes her mouth out with mud because she’s a BAMF like that (also because Dio’s breath probably smells like death)

did Jonathan jump over a fountain?

KER SMASH

“Dio’s crying” I love this song

goodbye Danny, you’ll be referenced in SBR as a rat which is kinda a downgrade but still

who is this narrator anyway?

he’s David Vincent who voices Robin in Fire Emblem and Smash Bros

Dio you never learn to master your temper, I think it actually gets worse

I’ll be the rooooooooundabout

tune in next time where Speedwagon enters coolly and Jorge bites the dust
