JoJo's Part 4: The Art of Adaptation 

You deserve it

you deserve it bro this video is awesome

@@melman9118 yeah he does

JoJo does miracles

This was a very well-constructed short essay, good job🥰

The hints of Kira doesn't exist in the manga, only in the anime. Anyway the "anyone could be the Villain" thing was good.

And pretty much a lot of the “slice of life“ episodes were a setup for the final Act，which I really liked

Didn’t know it at the time but one of the greatest rewards was going back to watch episode 1(or 2) of part 4 was noticing that most of the cast (kira included i think) were looking at Josuke when he saved that woman from being mugged outside the convenient store

Also those moments where you can see characters that will show up later in big crowds

Not even. Especially Kira

praying they give the same treatment to my man Tooru when the JoJolion anime rolls around

@@wilbert3799 i’ll love to see that in my retirement home

@@Magic_Ice when you’re 89 years old?

@@Magic_Ice same

@@wilbert3799 IDK. I can’t see any time where you could have organically introduced Tooru, a college student who works at the university hospital, earlier in the plot of Jojolion, a story that revolves around college students who repeatedly visit the university hospital. There’s just no scenes he could possibly fit in.

Ye, sometimes i hear some fans when referring to anime adaptions prefer 100% accuracy, especially in a post Promised neverland world. They tend to site things like the adaptions of Dragonball as examples. And like??? Y e a h, that adaption definitely wasn’t good and suffered from a lot of meddling from across the yard. While it had it’s faults, i think anime-only fans can tend to undermine the little changes often made to an anime so the story flows so seamlessly that people don’t even notice what they did differently. Stuff like the iconic super saiyan transformation is a good example of that. In the manga, its just a quick, full spread page turn. In the anime? Insane lighting effects, tons of establishing shots, gokus face going from shocked to angry, shivering and trembling, all before just exploding into this haunting image of gokus white eyes as a lighting flash enters us into the actual transformation. All before he ACTUALLY transforms 😂😂 There are better examples from the anime, but i felt that was the most obvious to cite. I think some people who shout for complete accuracy never quite understand what that actually entails. Fundamentally, manga and anime are 2 different mediums. Some things were created specifically to work within that medium, what works in one doesn’t always carry over to the other. To adapt something to a new medium with “100 accuracy” might often mean neglecting to actually take advantage of the medium the work is ACTUALLY being adapted into.

@@theradionicrevival8068 and sometimes, going too accurate also hurts. Attack on Titan is an example of that. The manga at start was so shit that WiT had to do their own thing with the anime. Many of the scenes are changed and also hints about future arcs are thrown in there. Ony problemthat i had with S4 part 2 is that they are too much faithful. Which is thankfully gone with part 2 but some things still aren't changed, especially the Annie return. It got downgraded. And i don't even want to talk about the ending. Hopefully they change it.

I mean who wouldn’t enjoy reading JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure?

@@CoolManCoolMan123 mob psycho 100 is also a pretty good example. Due to the release and basic structure of the webcomic, the actual first chapters of the story don’t exactly serve as the best introduction to the storys themes, overvall tone and characters. So Studio Bones pretty me reshuffled and frankensteined together chapters and arcs in the first season to create a more consistent throughline of escalation in tension, stakes and information. The chapter that first episode was based on happened far later in the story. But the chapter was standalone enough that it could be reworked into a first episode. Ntm it was made later on in the series’ run so the webcomics author (ONE) had a clearer vision of what the story and characters would be by that point, so everything was a little more refined and tightly written. On a tv format, that chapter could serve as a better introduction to the world and characters better than the actual first chapter was. It they just played things straight and just adapted episodes by just adapting rhe first 3 chapters in succession Mp100’s tone would be all over the place and probably not garner as much popularity on that front. I won’t lie and act like this part of why i was never all too much of a fan of how most anime like my hero academia tend to be adapted. Often just mostly 1:1 adaptions with little creativity or intrigue put into it. Ik its not an anime but i feel shows like Invincible are peak examples of adaptions that we’re all talking about. However, in order to make adaptions like DiU, mob psycho and invincible, it’s a VERY huge matter of time, money and hindsight, something most studios working behind anime (especially the big ones like mha) rarely get enough of So I completely understand why the “play is safe” approach is so popular and widespread. My only issue is just with fans that are so used to it that they truly believe that that way of adaption is objectively better and how things should always be no matter. It grossly misunderstands the dilemma faced with adapting…well…anything-

@@CoolManCoolMan123 cmon (cool) man aot's ending ain't THAT bad

netflix: hello

It'd have to be a movie or something. One of the most commonly mentioned BIG issues is that horses are VERY hard to animate. There's a lot of muscles, and it would be a little bit awkward to CGI them. It'd be a lot of work just to make a movie, but an animated series would be near impossible, or just take many years to complete. The JoJo hype would die out.

@@bluejacket4429 I see your point about the horses being hard to animate, but part 7 is just too long to put in a single film. I think they should separate into parts, each being 12/13 episodes of top tier animation; the hype won't die in that case considering part 7 being one of the most exciting jojo sagas

@@bluejacket4429 if they have to then they can be smart about the shots of the anime to reduce costs

@@bluejacket4429 wit studio animated a lot of horses in some episodes of aot and this was really clean

His memory will be unbreakable.

He's dead???? Joskue noooo

amazing part, forever my favorite

Meh, it's pretty easy to understand everything

@@Gon-hx4df idk for me I had to go back a couple seconds to understand what he was saying he was speaking too fast

@@jayselva963 play around with the playback speed

Imo Part 2 > Part 4 > Part 7 > Part 5 > Part 3 > Part 8 > Part 6 > Part 1 Part 5 will take a bit to get interesting but once it kicks off it's fire.Still throughout the entirety of it while watching i was considering as a lower part in contrast to my ranking but thankfully the last arc is as exciting as the Bites The Dust arc and some of the things that had been bugging habing raised many questions are actually answered in the final episodes.So , very good Part , keep it going!

Honestly yeah, part 6 is incredibly underrated. For me, it has a slow start but the climax and fights are some of my favourites in the series.

@@jacktduggan58 I don't know if it's just because it was the first Jojo manga I read, but I really enjoyed the start of Stone Ocean. The setting was just really interesting, functioning differently than real prisons in some key ways that really go a long way in making it feel bizarre and memorable. I also liked seeing Jolyne become accustomed with prison life and her ability. Sadly the anime cut a lot of prison specific scenes, but I understand why. I really like how the ending of part 6 where Pucci is defeated takes place in the prison again, and you instantly recognize precisely where in the prison Emporio is, and in relation to the ghost room. It's a pretty thoroughly developed setting and I'm glad Stone Ocean effectively ended where it began, really selling that the universe came full circle. It was a nice goodbye to the prison too, which I didn't realize I missed until the part with Emporio. Even some of the fights early on have prison guards that change the course of the battle, with the characters having to work around them. Notably with the Marilyn Manson fight, or with the foo fighters introduction and the exploding bracelets.

@@jacktduggan58 True. It’s sad that the anime will keep it underrated after Netflix blew it. It’s sad how much the hype died out simply due to the way it was released.

Ay Part 4 was my favourite

@@hei7846 Many think of it as their favorite part. I'm rewatching jjba anyways after i finished jojolion. Maybe i'll change my opinion.

Source?

Devil man if I’m not mistaken

@@Sprinklez Thank youuuu
