JeffJeff's Bizarre Adventure S02E19: The Cursed Episode

Woohoo! Super excited that the crew is closing in on the conclusion of Stardust Crusaders!!

Ooh I am liking this talk of another anime side - quest after this is done.

Bebop is great and all but I think I've seen it so many times and heard so much talk about it that even Jeff's brand new reactions might not be enough to really buy in.

Also, it's not nearly embarrassing enough to have to explain to his wife what he is watching. It should be Kill la Kill.

I really wanna get to Part 4, shit's so good, but if they wanna take a detour there are plenty of different shows to do, like the recent bocchi the rock, a classic from a couple years ago in Eizouken, or Kill la Kill for some over the top depravity. They should check out Mob Psycho too now that it's finished.

Im in the middle of the episode so maybe they correct themselves at some point but I feel like it really needs to be pointed out: Hol Horse's stand ABSOLUTELY allows him to control the bullets he fires. This was one of the first things established about him in The Emperor & The.Hanged Man

So, the average lifespan of a Turkey is 6ish years. The average lifespan of a citizen of Turkey is 75...

Unfortunate that Lucy didn't enjoy the episodes given the circumstances. Bit of pity, but can't be helped.

There's no reason to take the Boingo episodes seriously. Those are pure slapstick and toon logic.

This was almost certainly the first time Iggy's inner voice was revealed. His English dub is a different take than the original, but I like it a lot. Hints of Joe Pesci.

Pet Shop is a nonverbal monster villain in a horror movie.

@tshngo: So who's better hol horse or that other stand that shoots 5 bullets and kicks the bullet.

@splodge: Cowboy bebop is the go to for people as they think it's one of the least anime shows for non anime people, and It's still unique and close to western taste with the boom in star wars and space stuff, but personally I find it's a bit too dry. We want something that a new viewer can go OMGosh my wife might see this...but i wanna show it to her too. Plus something that will impress and show the entire spectrum of animation (jojo stiff but detailed) now we need fluid.

I suggest chainsawman. It's modern, weird, different, and on the surface will drive some of them nuts till they get the subtext or have it explained by the other diehards...plus it's shorter than Cowboy bebop and can be revisited in the future when it gets crazier in season 2-3. Also, they can have a woman's perspective as I noticed most men watching alone seem to get offended on their behalf then you find out the women watching are completely the opposite. (men clutch pearls at denji habits, women tend to clutch pearls at the women in his life) it's an interesting point given all sorts of assumptions. Plus its action is great and will keep Jeff entertained as he learns this is all in a kids magazine and the US is super prude XD.

@topcyclist: The Emperor is probably a better stand than Sex Pistols, just because by and large Part 3's stands are a lot more basic and simple in concept, whereas the specificity and weirdness of later parts' abilities makes a lot of them "weaker" in the traditional sense, but lead to the users having more creative application. However, Hol Horse probably loses (or more likely forfeits and runs away from) that fight because he's a coward and lacks Mista's DETERMINAZIONE

I know it's a little out of step with the types of shows they've been watching, but I really want to get their take on Stein's Gate. It's an anime that rates highly for a lot of people that I didn't check out until a couple years ago. I remember watching the first parts wondering why it garnered so much praise but at a certain part I understood. I think it could be a fun journey for them.

With all due respect, yall need to just sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide right into Diamond is Unbreakable.

JERF and Lucy like that Looney Tunes shit? Like that badassery? It swings back and forth between that repeatedly. MULTIPLE times an episode. BIZARRE INCEPTION.

Checking out Chainsawman could be a good idea, or Baccano too. keep in mind you could just move onto part 4, cause its a complete 180 in terms in everything your used too so itd still feel refreshing i guess, oh and hol horses name is in reference to hall and oates btw

@cyberspacecat: I like recommending Bocchi or Eizouken. I'm curious how Jeff will react to a series that isn't a battle shonen like JoJo's and OPM

@topcyclist: I don't know how the other guys will find it, but John loves Chainsaw Man. He made a whole 75 minute video essay about it.

@xenonxylophone: Yeah, i know he likes it but he also knows the entire story. I think john also loves attack on titan, and some of the crew hates it which gave jeff the opinion it wasn't for him but i suspect that would have been his favorite show.

John tempers his excitement as he understands when he's talking to someone who only consumed a few episodes of the material vs his entire knowledge.

@topcyclist said:

I don't find this to necessarily be the case, at least not for myself, I didn't read Chainsaw Man until after the anime season ended and I enjoyed it a lot episode to episode, it's just a really well made, entertaining and intentionally cinematic show.

I feel like CSM is going to be one of those things like One Punch Man, MHA or Cowboy Bebop in many years that are recommended to beginner or non-anime viewers, not necessarily because it's the absolute best it has to offer, but because it's digestible and comes with a good deal of western influences.

@cyberspacecat: Oh yeah 100% agree.

I didn't understand the question about whether the book is evil. It just seems to be depicting that future based on Boingo's goal to have the JoJo crew killed, which is an evil goal. Since Hol Horse fucked up the timing, that future still had to find a way to come true since the predictions are absolute.
