Brienne: Thoughts, Ser Jaime?

Jaime: You are sick nasty. You are incredible. You look really cool in blue, like a mummer. I like your smile. You treat people with kindness. You are really funny. Really, really funny. You are really good at fighting. There’s a lot. The word ‘sensational’ comes to mind when I think of you.

My Actual Critical Thoughts on the DIU Movie, Unclouded By Gayautism Moments

Ok so I fucking loved it, and here's why. Spoilers for movie exclusive scenes.

First of all, I LOVED the look of the characters. I think the costume design was superb, ESPECIALLY Josuke. The modifications really made it feel like actual clothes someone would wear, but it managed to keep the Anime Bullshit vibes intact. The live media also added a lot to their outfits imo because of the way their clothes moved with them. It's a little thing, but animation rarely captures the way a bigass jacket flaps around. The casting was great imo. Josuke and Okuyasu actually looked like high schoolers (not sure if the actors were actually teens or what), and they looked... So Baby 🥺. Okuyasu especially... I loved him. My boy 🥺🥺🥺. And IDK if this is an unpopular opinion but I loved Jotaro!!! He looked like a dad and I appreciated it. I also liked the way they did his hat hair, like it was so funny. LOVED how his hat was tilted all weird like how it's always drawn. Loved the cartoony hair in general, actually.

Speaking of the Look, I loved the sets too!!! In the manga and anime the backgrounds were always kind of barren, and I get that Araki can't draw cluttered spaces every pannel, but it really did add a lot to the Higashikata and Nijimura households. Having all that background clutter really made the Higashikatas feel like a family to me. And, oh my god, the pictures Josuke drew as a kid 🥺🥺🥺. (While we were watching, my friend was like "he drew those like 2 weeks ago" and I lost it.) And UGH don't even get me STARTED on the catholic imagery in the Nijimura household. WHAT WAS THAT??? They made Okuyasu believe in God and I have no idea why but it fucking rules!!! Literally every shot of their house was like looking at a really fucked up Renaissance painting and it made me go crazy!!! MASSIVE fan of that.

Now the effects... I mean, for the most part they were pretty good. The Stands looked a little shaky at some points, but the cool shots and framing of their powers more than made up for it imo. Like the part where Josuke punches through those people at the store, and, like, they don't actually show CD at first was really cool. Speaking of not showing things, BAD CO'S INTRODUCTION WAS SO AWESOME. I LOVED it so much more in this. They did SUCH a good job really showing how gross and unpleasant the wounds caused by BC would be irl. It actually made me cringe a little, which is impressive, considering I rarely get grossed out by gore. AND!!! The fact that they used practical effects for Okuyasu's dad made me so happy!!! It looked pretty good and I expected it to be shitty cgi, so it was a real treat. CD and The Hand also looked pretty slick. I loved their textures... Which sounds weird, but it's true. CD had the whole faceted armor thing going on AND his flesh looked striated, which makes his otherwise kinda silly design SUPER cool (No offense, Mr. Diamond 😔). The Hand looked like a robot, which was so cool. He looked weathered, like his paint was chipping or something, which really added to his intimidating vibe. Overall, in terms of the anime adaptations I've seen, they did pretty damn good with the effects, and I think they really captured the feel of Stands as a whole.

But... The editing, unfortunately, took me out of it a few times. They had some REALLY great shots (CD's first instance of healing, Yukako's intro, really anything at the Nijimura household) but a lot of shots felt disconnected. Like motions got cut off, or you could tell it was a different take. It was kinda weird. I liked the OST when I noticed it, but nothing really stood out. The color grading was SUPER fucked in the first half of the movie, too. It looked very yellow, and I didn't like it, especially coming from a series as colorful as JoJo. There were also a few moments of overacting, but none of it was unbearable. Technically, it could use some work.

BUT. The plot was great. It was just a rehash of the Angelo and Nijimura arcs, but they pulled it off very well. They did a good job balancing the cuts with the additions. They replaced a lot of the inane JoJo bullshit with character development for the Higashikatas, which was galaxy brained fr. I actually Felt it when Josuke's grandpa died this time around. Josuke's relationship with his family in this version makes him a much more compelling protag. Not that he was bad before, he's my favorite JoJo so far, but he seems more driven now. His grandpa's death wasn't just forgotten about. And as for streamlining the story, spoilers but I was legitimately shocked when Sheer Heart Attack showed up at the end. I YELLED. I think that was a really good way to bridge to further in the story for a possible sequel, and it made Keicho's death more, for lack of a better word, Fuckt.

Speaking of, all the characters had really great spins this time. Josuke was like, a mama's boy who was trying and failing to be aloof, Koichi was more silly, Yukako seemed way more Unhinged, Okuyasu was like... an evil minion For Real (which I LOVED... He was very over the top Menacing at first), and Keicho was way more sympathetic. A lot of that last one was because of changed wording during his backstory section. His narrative was much clearer, and I actually sympathized with him this time around. His death also seemed more selfless because of the way SHA attacked them. Instead of just kinda knocking Okuyasu away, he ran across the room to push him out of the way. It makes the idea that he really did love Okuyasu deep down more believable. The little details really did add to the story, and it more than makes up for the stuff they cut out, which wasn't much in the first place.

All in all, it wasn't Technically a masterpiece, but I loved it and definitely recommend it if you're a fan of gay delinquents. Very fun, very epic, 8/10.
