The fact that she skipped to the final version of Great Days where there aren't many differences and skipped the one with actual mayor differences lmao
She did mention tht someone put it together for her. So blame them tbh Plus tht was the 1st time I ever seen ver 0.5 lol It doesnt even exist in the physical dvd/bluray releases, which has me assume tht v0.5 was a placeholder bc of their limited time and budget at the time. So now majority of ppl will only know of V1 and V2.
Edit: For anything I missed don't worry!! Gonna add it into the end of my End Credits reaction video :3 Thanks for letting me know! I AM WATCHING ALL OF JOJO'S HERE ON THE CHANNEL! Here is the playlist :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BJf3M4pijlY.html
the jojo community absolutely adores these reactions, I wish I could erase my memory and experience this show again but I'm just as happy to experience it with you!
14:53 the punches werent there before as the main character can see something now (no spoilers) and Opening 7 if you watched the other versions you would have notice something instead of the title just breaking btw here are all the jojo main character names in order of the Openings Jonathan Joestar Joeseph Joestar (was also the old man with Jotaro) Jotaro Kujo Josuke Higashikata Giorno Giovana Joylne Kujo
IIRC his stated reason is that he wanted to do fights between people with psychic powers, but he didn't want *just* two people posing at each other until one dies, so he made Stands as a physical representation of the powers.
im a long time jojo fan and everytime i see a youtuber react to the openings i get so hyped and i smile like an idiot for most of the time thinking "Yes ! new jojo fans incoming!!" xD
Even though everyone says the first part is slow and very different in tone to the rest, I'm sure you're gonna find joy breaking down the imagery. Araki loves his references, so every corner, every character can be an opportunity to give a shout to something he loves!
Even tough I agree with them in the idea that part 1 is appreciated better by looking backwards instead of standing his own, I guess she can have a good time by breaking down any references.
I got bored watching part 1 and almost leave the show, BUT, if i didnt watched part 1, later i was not going to understand about Dio and his enmity with joestar family.
When I was watching part 1 for the first time, I thought it was a satire of overused anime tropes and characteristics and basically took it as a comedical subversion of a shonen anime.
When you said "is this a Labyrinth reference" I had to think about it for a sec and genuinely it might be, Hirohiko Araki, the creator of Jojo, is such a big fan of western culture that a Labyrinth reference is entirely feasible
Fun fact, the dude you said who had that Paul Phoenix hair cut was actually the inspiration for Paul and Guile. Adding onto that, the anime painfully adapts the original manga's art style. OP 5 marks the start of a new part and a huge change in the manga's art style. Very excited to seeing you watch and breakdown the series!
@@bruh5073 Development for Street Fighter 2 began in early 1989, Polnareff didn't debut until around mid 1989. Add that with the fact Guile has literally the exact same hair and color as Stroheim, is a member of the military just like Stroheim and has been continuously depicted as a patriot just like Stroheim and it becomes even clearer The producer of SF2, Noritaka Funamizu, said this himself: "The team decided to give him the always distinctive 'Stroheim' look". He also said Guile being named after J.Geil was a mix up from the development staff
JoJo’s was something I saw when I was younger and thought “what is that art style (scene with Dio killing the cat during stopped time and throwing a knife at Joseph) and never really liked it until I found it later and it was perfection first anime to make me actually jump
Also BTW doing a playlist like this probably confused you guys more. They had way too many versions of some like for one small change or a sound effects version. The 1-13 video skips those extra ones except the plot change ones. Btw you guys are super entertaining! ❤️❤️❤️
The one thing i dont like aboit the 1-13 video though is that it doesnt include the part 5 changes which are some of the most different and noticeable ones
Jojo's is such a trip to watch! The gay part is more about the author exploring what he's into, starting with Hunks slowly going into twunks, stopping by tomboys for a bit and finally landing on twinks. I love it with all my heart
JoJo is a series that seems to get progressively more flamboyant as it progresses. Its actually quite good and the storyline all connects. Some people get bored on the first few episodes but beleive me It gets really good halfway through season 1 (or whrere it becomes "part 2")
and also just for your viewing pleasure because I love JoJo so much (every part has a new main character, and yes Stands are spirits that you own to do whatever you want) 1:08 Part 1 - Sherlock Holmes + Dracula/Jonathan Joestar 4:35 Part 2 - David Vs. Goliath, Man Vs. God/Joseph Joestar 7:20 Part 3 -Dracula's Return + Around The World/Jotaro Kujo 15:56 Part 4 - Slice Of Life With a Murderous Twist/Josuke Higashikata 24:30 Part 5 - Gangsters Paradise/Giorno Giovanna 30:50 Part 6 - Prison Life + Evil God/Jolyne Kujo
Araki, the creator, is a big fan of western culture. A lot of the characters stands are named after western bands, lots of the style and poses are taken from fashion magazines like Vogue. There’s a lot of good compilations about how the male characters, their signature poses and styles, are all taken from 70-90s female fashion magazines.
We've got: ACDC Wham Killer queen, sheer heart attack and bites za dusto Red hot chilly pepper Vanilla ice *SPEEEEEDOWAGONNNNNN* Rolling stone Sticky fingers Aerosmith And many others
I am so glad you are getting on JoJo. Watched your react to Edgerunners. With your hyperfocus and appreciation for the art work, you are going to love JoJo. The author of the manga, Hirohiko Araki is a huge fan of rock n roll and fashion. Every scene, every pose, every facial expression is an art piece. Also, once you have seen JoJo, you will get the meme about JoJo references. It had an epic impact on anime. I watch some modern animes like "that's a jojo reference". Then i find out it is referencing some other anime, but that other anime was influenced by JoJo.
Loved the comments about muscular women! That part, Part 6: Stone Ocean is my absolute favorite arc, and also maybe one of my favorite stories ever? It was written in the 2000s in shonen jump, when female characters were kind of an afterthought, side thing, or just existed to relieve the sexual tension between the two guys :p Stone Ocean is a punk rock, fuck the system, break all the rules kinda story and I would love to see more people react to it,
@@melaniemagdalene1616 Yeah! I think I am up there honstely as one of the biggest Stone Ocean fans out there honestly. Ive been doing a twitter where I post daily stone ocean analysis, and I am pretty proud of it.
@@BARMN89 Nice! I went into Stone Ocean with a bit of trepidation (because 90%of the fandom apparently hated it) and I was delightfully surprised. It's in my top 3 now.
@@melaniemagdalene1616 for sure, i gotta say it was rough being a part 6 fan, especially on youtube for a few years there. But now that people have actaully seen/read it, the quality really speaks for itself I think. Its top of the list for me, its one of those stories where I have reread it multiple times, and learned something new about it each time.
I'm still on part 2 so I don't know everything, but the reason there are multiple versions of certain songs is because they started having a theme with their OPs where the villians are so powerful they actually take over the openings, which for the 2 I remember makes sense because one can stop time and the other can reverse it I think?
jojo parts from gayest to least gay: part 7 steel ball run part 5 golden wind part 2 battle tendency part 6 stone ocean part 4 diu part 3 start dust crusaders part 1 phantom blood part 8 jojolion
it triggers me so much that you skipped the alternative versions, the bites the dust version of "Great days" is so good... traitor's requiem has four versions for a reason... jojo openings always change once the main bad guy and it's abilty gets revealed, those abilities always mess witht he opening in some way
The opening changes are usually associated with major plot reveals. It's interesting because unless you super overanalyze it you won't pick up on spoilers.
time passes between seasons, like quite a lot of years. The main protagonist of the 1st season is the grandpa of the MC of the 2nd season, which in turn is the father of another season MC and the grandpa of 3rd season MC.... and so on. Also the author of the manga is a big fan of western music so most Stands and characters are named after bands and singers.
@@Aliciaxlife you seem pretty new to anime so I can’t wait for you to see all sorts of series not just jojo. I’m currently watching a chainsaw man vid of yours and wondering what else you might like to react to. Or just see in your own time like maybe dorohedoro?
Help how come whoever made this playlist included two versions of crazy noisy bizarre town where the only difference was koichi’s stand but not any of the remixes 😭
Jojo is divided in parts, each part follows a different family member of the joestar dynasty. The first part is in the 1800 and goes all the way to 2011 some characters appear in multiple parts
Looking back, it's amazing to see Ant's and Alicia's powers manifesting for the first time! It took some time for them to become aware of it, but they're clearly doing some prediction already! Edit: Like what Ant says at 25:57! Perfectly describing both King Crimson and ADD in a single sentence
Bro, skipping a JoJo opening and still posting the video? I would have been too scared to do it, that's actually impressive 🤣 Aslo I love how you got that out just before the latest opening came out.
To summarize each season Part 1: Fist of the North Star, but with vampires and zombies Part 2: More vampires and zombies, but now the Aztec Gods of Fitness want to end mankind Part 3: Around the World in 80 days, now with punchy ghosts Part 4: Scooby Doo-esque murder mystery solving, but with actual murder Part 5: This is how Mafia works Part 6: Beyond Scared Straight
Opening 1(season1), part 1, it's 1889, the main character is Johnathan Joestar Opening 2 (s1), part 2, it's 1939 the main character is Joseph Joestar (Johnathan's grandson) Opening 3 (s2) and Opening 4 (+variants)(s3), part 3, it's 1989, the main character is Jotaro Kujo (Joseph's grandson) Openings 5,6,7(+)(s4), part 4, "1999 it's your summer", the main character is Josuke Higashikata (Joseph's son, who's younger than Jotaro) (Edit: You skipped the best version, I can't believe it, you skipped the rewind version, come on why the sound effect version is even here? Bruh, the one reason everyone likes this one) Openings 8 and 9(+)(s5), part 5, it's 2004, the Main character is Giorno Giovanna (Jorno Jovanna ?) (For spoilers sake let's just say he's the descendent from Johnathan and part 1's main villain) Opening 10(+)(s6), part 6, it's 2012, the main character is Jolyne Cujoh (Kujo) (Jotaro's daughter)
Wow they included EVERY version in this one 😂. Usually people leave out the SFX openings and the half baked tv versions. They also used a trashy computer program to artificially up some of openings to 60fps which makes my artist brain CRY!
Anyone capable of having fun with (and most of all, making fun of) jojo's absolutely MUST watch it, it's such an experience. Some of the first 9 episodes I really disliked personally, but after the show embraces itself as less serious I had so much fun. I hope you enjoy it too.
JoJo is just so ridiculously huge. Like, it's had impacts on a ton of different anime, but more than that, it's even had impacts on western properties. There's literally a really blatant JoJo reference in an episode of Paw Patrol, and probably several in Steven Universe (along with some other anime).
Mostly each OP is a season or Part that follows a different generation of the Joestar family, with some exceptions Part 1 / OP 1 follows Jonathan Joestar during early-to-late 1880s Part 2 / OP 2 follows Joseph Joestar, Jonathan's son, set in 1938 Part 3 is longer with OP 3 and 4 that follow Jotaro Kujo and his grandfather Joseph Joestar during 1987 Part 4 again longer with OP 5, 6 and 7 that follow Josuke Higashikata during 1999 Part 5 / OP 8-9 follow Giorno Giovanna in 2001 Part 6 / OP 10 follow Jolyne Cujoh in 2011 Each part takes palce in a different part of the world and has different themes like Murder Town Mistery, Mafia Drama, Vampire Invasion, etc, also fun fact, JOJO'S author once spoiled the ending of the Sixth Sense to his readers.
Jojo fan here, wanted to wait until the end of the video but I wanted to give some thoughts: 6:14 had me ROLLING. Without context those two sets of characters really do look the exact same 16:13 HELL YEAH BROTHER Part 4 has a very special place in my heart, I adore the feel of it the most. I think both of yall will like it a lot tbh, if yall ever watch it 21:10 yeah, some of these are kinda bullshit lol. its just a difference of explicit spoilers and you both know nothing about the show so it doesn’t really matter at this point in time. There was another comment here criticizing the playlist itself (not yalls choice to watch it) and I gotta second them. Overall though I’m glad its not dampening on yall’s experience of the OPs :] 31:40 I was legit expecting you to add an editor’s note at the end like “yeah lol guys it was this other unrelated song”… I genuinely was not expecting the Pillarmen Theme because you didn’t go ‘Ayayayay’ or hum the main melody LMFAO. I’m so happy the character arc was on screen and that you found it without too much sweat! For the record, it’s like, one of the most popular of the OSTs to rival the main opening songs in popularity. 35:11 OH SHIT I DIDNT CHECK THE DESCRIPTION. Absolutely excited for this too! Jojo is kinda fucking wild at certain points, but I assure y’all, it’s SO worth it. You’re going to find at least one part that you like the most, I hope yall like what you watch! (And like Alicia says, you may fuck with other parts more than others and that’s cool)
At first I thought Alicia might be thinking of "Yes" by Roundabout, which was the ED for the first couple of parts and was a big meme for a while - but her knowing only the Ancient Aztec Dubstep is way funnier tbh. (TBH it's kinda disappointing that they didn't bring Yes back for part 6 or 7 or something, but the other EDs we got instead were pretty good too I think.) I do hope you stick with JJBA. The first few parts can be kinda rough and unpolished (they're really old and show their age), but you can really see the author getting better at his craft and experimenting a lot which is kinda cool. Also, if anyone's planning on reading Part 5, I'd *highly* suggest watching it first/instead. Due to differences in medium, certain plot points that are near-incomprehensible in manga form are actually really simple when portrayed in animation, to the point that reading it before watching might actually leave you more confused than not reading it at all.
@@dracocrusher Honestly, when animated, the concept is actually super simple due to how time flows in cinematic language vs. sequential art. There are probably much better ways Araki could have portrayed the power (breaking standard paneling rules, leaving blank panels, House-of-Leaves-type stuff, etc.), but hindsight's 20/20 I guess. Iirc 5 was written in the late 1990's so there wasn't as much sequential art semiotics to draw upon. I can see a potential argument that, by being so easy-to-understand, the animated version makes the villain seem far less intimidating in a lot of ways - there's a lot more emotional impact when a protagonist is attacked by something that even an omniscient reader perspective can't really comprehend? idk. But yeah I do wish Araki managed to figure out a more readable way to portray certain fights in parts 5 and 6, especially considering how good he gets at it in 7. It's the flipside of constantly innovating and growing as an artist, I guess.
This is such a great anime and I watch you a lot but the earliest song you skipped had the most difference between parts and that was version of one of opening 7
@@Aliciaxlife that is fare I just hope you enjoy Jojos it is in my top 5 animes and the story is still being continued and a lot of memes come from Jojos that you might not have even realised came from it
@@Aliciaxlife basically there's a version of the 'Breakdown' song where, at the moment the villain 'pushes the button', the whole song starts to going backwards.
ohhhh i'm so exited for these reactions... if you're looking for "flamboyant men" you are in for a ride !! Araki (the author) really likes to draw buff men but also loves fashion so most characters have androgenous clothing + poses. It is my favorite anime and i'm sure you'll love it too.
I feel like this was kind of a rough playlist to be given tbh, AI frame tweening, tons of dispirate and non-essential versions.. Honestly I feel like versions should be left out entirely bc either they're non-essential (sfx, alternate remix) or spoilery (villain reveal). I'm glad you found your jojo riff, I would've guessed one of the popular ost songs like giorno or jotaro's theme :p
For me My favorites are openings 1 and 2, but I still love the Dio "Za Wardo" moment in 3B With Jojo's Bizarre Adventure you're not just following one character, you're following the Bloodline of Jojo's, so part 1 is Johnathan Jostar, part 2 is Joseph Jostar, and part 3 is Jotaro and so on.
To put it simply: every opening changes when the main villain reveals his power (or acquires a bigger one). They overtake the opening, and in one of them the main character retakes it.
I have a deep hatered for 60 fps interpolated animation. It removes all the snappy movements and flair of the original. That is why you cauldn't even tell what the "eyeball man" was, and why the finger was glitching. BUT your reaction does make up for it. Regarding the third ending version of the fourth intro was the same as the second version, but it was played with a bunch sound effects because it was the last episode. Some intros were made with 3d, some were not, but the whole show is 2d Oh I'm so happy you are gonna be watching it!
was it the episode 4 opening variation? I think I read another comment mentioning that. I can check it out and add it to my reaction of the end credits :D
6:44 the brown hair is Joseph and blond hair is Caesar, the blond hair guy from season one is Dio. And when Joseph became old in season 3 he’s the grey suit guy
I wish the videos that have alt versions of the intro would say "different ending" so people don't skip them but it also takes the "Woah what?" out of the first time watching
just realised this was 1 year ago but, the difference between V1, V2, V3 is that V1 is the intro regular, V2 is With Dio at the End, and V3 has sound effects +Dio
Feeding the almighty algo gods for our queen! To answer your question, their actually two different terms. Stan and Stand. A "Stan" is a super fan, the term pulled from Eminem's song of the same name about a obsessed stalker fan. It still has a cheeky "Warning" to it not to let it go to far, but is generally lost the negative connotation. A "Stand" in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a.... well, this is JoJo's so it's super complicated, but think "everyone gets superpowers, but those superpowers manifest as other selves that also fight but that do all the "Real" fighting", a little like the persona series. Jo Jo's is just kinda complicated. O.o
Oh also on how Jojo's changes up a lot. Jojo is a nickname for the MC as all the main characters are from the same bloodline and follow a similar naming convention that lets them share the nickname. The series follows the family across different generations dealing with supernatural events.
The differences between each version of each op is basically the main villian of the arch will invade the op and hijack it when they become prominent. And part 5 has an extra one where the MC will steal the OP back. Parts 1-3 are 3d because an outside studio made the ops then got busy with thier own projects before coming back for part 6, stone ocean. All parts are in chronological order and are different but connected. After part 6, the universe breaks into the greater multiverse because the main universe story ends in 6. And Stands are those ghosts that are basically the fighting spirits, souls, wills, so on of the character who summon them. And parts 1 and 2 use Hammon, aka special breathing that ands powers and sunlight to be able to kill vampires. Protag names go, Johnathan, Joseph, Jotaro, Josuke, Giorno, Jolyne, Johnny, Josuke, and i cant remember the duo for part 9.
