This OVA looks incredible, also fun fact, in the English Dub the Senator is voiced by Charles Martinet who is the voice of Mario. So yes, in the english dub Dio forces Mario to commit vechicular homicide, turning JoJo into Mario Kart.
@@philleW12 The only thing in this universe that isn’t a Jojo reference is jojo episode one or chapter one. Because you cannot reference yourself in the first episode or chapter.
This version of DIO is actually kind of terrifying. The fact that he's so calm, his effortlessness, the more casual style of talking, it all makes him unironically menacing.
I fucking love the way senator philips is seemingly warped back into his car. It's so clever, and if you don't already know what Dio's power is it feels so menacing and mysterious.
Yep, it's not "visually accurate" that he runs straight and somehow falls back into the car, but it's what the senator THINKS is happening. That's good movie direction (i think that's the word in English)
Much as I love the original flamboyant, over the top, memetastic Jojo, I wouldn't mind if someone took another stab at a more horror orientated interpretation of the series like the original OVAs did.
i literally just want the original ova, but it doesn't skip like half the fights the animation here, the portrayal of the characters, it's so fucking good
I love the fact that DIO has to quickly get out of the car, move the senator and get back in the car with the cool pose before time starts again a couple of times. Same situation as Polnareff on the stairs.
well when gravity has no hold on you, i imagine its a lot easier. when moving polnareff he probably floated down, still sitting in that pose while The World moved polnareff as he simply levitated closer to allow The World to reach polnareff.
Normally I dislike politicians, but good god, I actually feel bad for Senator Philips here. Dio literally drove the poor guy insane in a matter of minutes.
@@hectorbarrera8046 fr, he forgave dio even after seeing him break his driver's arm. Watching him go insane and start laughing after seeing the red truck-his freedom-was heart wrenching
Man forgives DIO for breaking his driver's arm and even is willing to give him money no questions asked so DIO can get a taxi. The man deserved better.
It's a shame the Sidewalk scene was cut entirely, we only get the implication of what happened instead which I feel really reduces the impact of the Senator's affirmation for his life afterwards.
@@umairashraf5167 You said that because you watched 2012 version over the oav bro just look at it its way better way shorter animation and direction is better everything is way better and the designs as well
This version of Dio didn't have the amazing voice actor, but this depiction makes him much more menacing. He used the world three times just to torture some old politician. Hierophant green looks way better too. While the OVA didn't feel much like the source material (which the David production anime translated really well into animation) it still looked incredible.
I really love how the OVA portrays the Emerald Splash, here it actually looks like the Senator's car is being shot at by a machine gun, the DP anime adaptation makes it look less dangerous.
Are we gonna talk about how much cooler that Hierophant Green is in the OVA? I like the sound effect when it charges emerald splash, and the fact that it glows up, not to mention that it actually makes the emerald splash look like an actual formidable ability, in the anime it was just "EMERALDO SPLASHU" and emeralds flying everywhere, but in the OVA they fire off like a fully automatic lazer rifle or something and it's awesome
the senator was so nice in the ova, even after dio broke his bodyguard's arm and broke into the car demanding him to start driving he offered dio money to buy a taxi
>spares random guy despite he broke his chofer arm >asks if he is injuried and apologizes >gives dio money so he can get a taxi >elaborates no futher >dies
I feel if that 2007 Phantom Blood Movie did a bit better and wasn't lost to the ages we would have gotten something like that eventually, Although in a timeline like that I'd probably wager David Production never become the JoJo powerhouse they would eventually become.
One of the details I love in this version of the scene compared to the newer one is the sequence where the senator keeps trying to run away and ending up back in the car. The way he actually runs a little ways away from it before tripping back into it here is a really fun visual effect compared to just instantly popping back into spot. It’s a lot more disorienting to watch and idk it’s just a really nice execution of the idea
This ova doesn't have as much style as the new series, but I love the late 80s/early 90s aesthetic. That and the animation is beautiful, they didn't cheap out.
Also epic that Dio stops it with one finger flick....he flicked one emerald, breaking it into three and pinballing the shards into the others in such a way they were all directed away from him, rather than individually punching them like he does in the anime.
fun fact: They used actual Egyptian voices and the scenery is accurate in this version, even the writing is accurately in Arabic. the radio scene was also actual Egyptian radio.
That's interesting. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
What I love so much about ova DIO is that he is sort of a mixture of DIO's character in part 3 and in part 6, he keeps the calm sophistication of stone ocean DIO while retaining the power and sheer presence that stardust crusaders DIO has. The ova is my preferred version of sc in terms of visuals.
@@HistoricalNerd Just Some Guy with a Mustache is the oldest, dating back to 2014. The other ones came after (Just Some Guy without a Mustache- 2017). The eldest has not been active lately, and the one without the moustache has taken the spotlight these days. I would have mistaken the one without the mustache as the original had I been new too, but the one with the mustache had long been present from a time beyond measure. *sighs* Both are ubiquitous beyond our imaginations, and I do not know much about their origins as well- there's too little information regarding them. So I suggest bowing whenever anyone comes across them to pay homage.
What makes this scene so jaw droppingly Terrifying is that Dio doesn't take pleasure from killing mowing down innocent people. He only just smirks when tormenting senator Philips.
I love this one so much better than the newer Anime. Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing, but the Animation style is a lot more easier on the eyes. Also the way they approach the storyline in this OVA mini-series is so much less silly and over the top in comparison, but that's just me.
Imagine you're the senator and some 6'5 body builder mangles your driver and everytime you try to escape you end up back in the car. Its like some kind of horror film without the jumpscare
Is no one gonna talk about how funny it would be if Dio was actually hit by the car, I'd like to imagine he was, but he just stopped time and quickly got up acting as if nothing happened.
I'm pretty sure if DIO did get hit by a car,the best your gonna get is the car getting destroyed the moment it collides with DIO while he doesn't even flinch one bit.
Huh? I thought he did get hit, and the car just bounced off him. Did he stop time and kicked it away or something? It really looks like it just bounces off him
What I like better about the OVA is how the animation is so much better and there's little dramatic music. The stands seem much more real and creepy because of that.
I honestly think this version of jojo deverses it's own universe. I think two versions of jojo wouldn't be that bad, a more bizarre version that focuses more on the art and a more gritty version that focuses on the fighting.
The creepyness of dios ability down here tho is thousand times more scary then the one in the 2012 version Like seriously holy shit it makes DIO look like an unstoppable god compared to the bass fart we got in the modern version
Really loving how the OVA captures DIO's cruelty in such a way to where it made me wanna forcibly skip some scenes. Especially the part with him making the senator drive on the sidewalk for his own amusement; especially driving him insane. Very cool DIO!
The ova is beautiful Its not unlike nower days It isnt beautiful in indivitual frame but when every frame combine it create a masterpeice The animation is so smooth and beautiful
Dio's driving lessons. lesson 1: Watch where your going. lesson 2: show respect to others. lesson 3: dont mess around on the road. lesson 4: if streets are full, use the sidewalk. lesson 5: if someone attacks you from the side, commit several war crimes. lesson 6: in case of train, go faster. if this fails, delete the train.
*Best Driving Instructor!* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really do recommend this driving instructor, he’s really good, and his name is DIO Brando, he’s the best at teaching me how to drive, and he might be good at teaching you too! He makes driving look so easy, and he makes it easy by explaining things, and helping me find ways to do shortcuts! Instead of using the road, I used the sidewalk and killed 89 People! Thanks, DIO!
OVA Dio was better, he's not that crazy, I love how he's mostly calm and he's really brutal and scary, if they did that with the new voice actor we'd have the best DIO
@@playmore9725 Yeah you can tell that he felt awful for killing all those people and it makes you feel bad for him. It makes Dio seem even more heartless.
ok Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
I love how every stand powers looks so much strong before actually explaining the actual powers and Iove the fact that dio is basically stopping time then carrying the senator in his arms and dropping of in the car . Then he just precede to continue the time and than sit in the exact same position he was sitting .
God fucking damn Dio is so terrifying in this OVA. He’s just so powerful as opposed to normal people due to him being a vampire that nothing phases him anymore. Nothing is more scary than a self-centered egomaniac with godlike power.
You can tell Dio is having fun getting out of the car, moving Senator Phillips to the other side of the road, and getting back into the car during time stop
I can see Dio letting the senator live just because his life after running over all of those people is going to be a lot worse than a quick death. Like he's saving him just to increase his suffering and he's pulling him out with a twisted smile. Dang Edit: Turns out Dio just carries the senator around to throw him at the Jobros like a cannonball. Dang lol
If this is how disturbing dio is in the ova imagine someone like kira in the ova i would be so disturbed to the point i wouldnt watch part 5 you know i can actually see it kira blows up somebody blood and guts all over the screen
It does Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
I tried getting into Jojo last year when my friend was telling me about how great it is, but single video has peeked my interest more than 2 seasons of back to back Jojo. This 80’s Dio is way more terrifying than what is shown on the newer anime. The whole thing is a lot more realistic.
Yeah, I feel you. The new one is just kinda too goofy for my tastes. I like the more serious and gritty tone of the OVA, I don’t even really bother with anything in the series outside of the OVA.
Same Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
I like how in this version, the senator doesnt act cocky. He thinks that the driver was just being rude to him and even gives dio plenty of money to go get a taxi. He seems like a person who youd actually vote for.
@@geschnitztekiste4111 oh my god imagine kira blowing people up it'd probably be like a fucking titan death from AOT, all bloody at first but the blood quickly vaporises
I actually got into JoJo because of the ova. I love the more subdued, grim tone of this adaptation, honestly really sad this studio didn't adapt more parts. Hope we'll get to see the Phantom Blood movie one day.
Where can you watch the OVA? Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
Wow, that's amazing I didn't know that another version of Jojo exists. I see that a lot of people in the comments are saying that they like this one more so I think I will give a try later, but I'm not gonna lie. The seriousness and cold blood show here makes me think "ah, this show must be very good!", but it doesn't strike me like the current Jojo version that I'm watching, that just grabbed my attention and I continue watching because of how very unique it is. (And I love the colors pallets changes, voice acting over the top and meme material haha).
I really like this version. Maybe even a little more than the updated one. It gives alot more realism with it. Especially throwing hierophant green around on cars and people actually freak tf out about it because they cant see him and its not a normal thing. Where as in the newer, aside from those who are in direct proximity with the main cast, the crowd may sometimes stop to observe this injured person whos struggling with air while random shit is just flying and they say nothing.
