3 minutes in and there's already a serious problem with the list... Hermit Purple doesn't HAVE to destroy the object it uses for spirit photography (even Joseph uses a regular tube TV at one point), it's just that it takes a while for the user to train their powers, and at the beginning Joseph could more easily focus his willpower by delivering a hamon overdrive chop. More importantly, Hermit Purple also provides precognition (the ability to see the future), nearly unbreakable vines that can be controlled like tentacles, and mind-reading. Besides that, you didn't touch on its actual weakness - as a pure manifestation of Hamon, Hermit Purple REQUIRES that its user be of strong mind, otherwise it slowly kills them (see Holy).
Honestly dissapointed in the overall coverage the anime itself seems to have recived almost no one has covered the story. And while this is primarily about the manga i still very much enjoyed it.
i believe in the ending, johan doesnt wake up or talk to Dr tenma- that was made clear in the manga. That was a conversion dr temna had in his head- and in reality- a question imposed to everyone regarded identity and being chosen
There is no monster that can be like johan he is chosen by fate he will probably be killed by johan because he and him only be at the dessert at the end all alone
1:30:29 yellow one is marilyn manson grey mush i think is just the disc stand pucci used to melt foo fighters lightning is the first ever stand from that meteor virus the one you added as hamon was dio’s version of hermit purple idk what the green one is
Just finished, and yeah there were parts where I think I missed. So when I got to the end, I was confused on who the teddy was, and what it's backstory. Like I thought it would be like a skynet thing or something, and maybe it received all the data that was in the other A.Is through an online storage system? Like Ted was the cloud or something, and thus why it became resentful to humans. I enjoyed the anime though.
Never would I have thought I would wake up one morning, and watch a manga on a conspiracy about bats Lee Harvey Oswald and the moon landing. But oh well, I guess.
I like it how the dude who gets taken over by Pluto at the tunnel looks like Tenma from Monster (longer hair). Similarly, Epsilon looks like Johann, though ironically dude's like the peaceful version.
Forget C, it should be A at MINIMUM. Hermit Purple also provides precognition, mind-reading and nearly invulnerable vines with an enormous range and autonomy.
Im half way through watching, got to the part where you say the manga implies we shouldnt feel bad for persia because the villains are all from persia. I want to strongly disagree with you. what it is trying to show is how an unjust war, helped in growing hatred in these people and therefor turning them into these villains. so actually, the manga is trying to make us hate the people who called for this unjust war.
I had many of the same complaints abou the ending. After Friend's ressurection, nothing really made sense and just kinda petered out. I thought it would have been much better if Kenji was actually dead, and Kanna got to grow and change into someone who could undermine Friend's influence by bringing people together. It felt like the comic was about connections to other people and one's legacy by their actions, so it felt like Kanna's attachment to Kenji's memory could have blossomed into her connecting people with music, like the festival, and that being the climax. Was definitely disapponted that there was an extra-extra doomsday robot. Wished they would have spent that time on the characters, talking about how their lives will go one, and how the last many years imapcted them and the world around them. Still, like you, I loved the art and the world, and the cast of characters was amazing. It left a good impression by the end, but the mystery was not a good mystery. To me, it was annoying how everything centered around Kenji and his friends/ people who were excluded from his friend group. It felt so detached from any real conflict, especially the fact that two people from his childhood had the same megalomaniac aspirations that were born out of pettiness. How uninteresting, frankly. When it's one person, it can make some sense that he made it into somethign important, but two? Feels like he just wanted there to be another twist and made it happen, despite deflating any impact the riginal mystery had.
Enigma should be higher. Let me say why: free parking. You can actually just steal cool things and no one will know. PORTABLE HOUSE. STORAGE OF LIKE 15 OF THESE AND YOU CAN DO SO MUCH
this is the second (and a half?) time i’ve gone through the id analysis, and i think i finally have to say i slightly disagree with the the first criticism about the opening passage. it feels to me like Urasawa is trying to convey our false conception of religious symbolism. our ideas of what makes a beast are often wrong and i think he tries to represent this throughout the series. mentioning this passage from the Bible to begin with sets the stage up for the images of misconception and projection. i 100% agree that criticism of this bit is justified, as we all interpret differently. the fact that supernatural imagery is never again used in the series is a valid critique. but i do feel like this can be seen as a representation of religion coinciding with logical society, whether it was intentional on Urasawa’s part or not
Hermit purple can make you spider man we saw Joseph use it like that to run from dio and we saw dio use hermit purple to do spirit photography without breaking the camera
9:17 Actually, during the Steely Dan arc, we can see Jotaro is made to scratch his back. When this happens, Joseph feels his own back getting scratched
How the fuck did you manage to put some awesome and useful for a REGULAR person stands in such a low tiers? But at the same time put 3 shape shifting stands at A tier, even so only the alien dude stand actually deserves it because it can fully shape shift in to anything!
Somethings left me unsatisfied and it dulled after chap 70 maybe? But it picked up in the end i binged 1o episode of show manga in two days overall good experience 7/10
