Aaaaah Battle Tendency ad! JOSEPH'S PANTS. LOOK AT THEM. Also Tomokazu Sugita confirmed for Joseph's voice yessss. AND:

Caesar - Satou Takuya (KAI FROM VANGUARD LMAO)
Lisa Lisa - Tanaka Atsuko (MOTOKO FROM GHOST IN THE SHELL OMGGGGG ♥♥)

I can't wait to hear who's going to be voicing Cars. Eeee.

The only dream-casting I can think of (since I'm happy with everyone already announced for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, which seems to be definitely matching the anime) IS NAKATA JOUJI FOR PUCCI BECAUSE THAT WOULD BLOW MY MIND TO HIGH HEAVEN AND I WOULD DIE. LIKE ACTUALLY DIE.

Weeping at Araki drawing Jonathan in his later style because it is too adorable, I'm dying. Those boots! Those belts! That choker! ♥♥ I love super-buff!rugby-player!Jonathan as much as anyone else but this is just really really cute.

Zepelli looks fabulous as always, of course.

So I've been having a lot of fun playing with this asshole lately. And would have been taking a lot more pictures except I still haven't gotten a new camera to replace my poor beautiful dying one so now I take like fifteen shots and one or two comes out looking normal lmao. BUT I CAN DEAL.

Cracking up at AmiAmi's site description for this pretty Dio figure:
The third release in the non-poseable Statue Legend series from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in celebration of Hirohiko Araki's 30th anniversary as a manga artist is Shadow Dio! Featuring a back so beautiful you may not believe it could belong to a man and incredible detailing in his face, clothes and musculature this statue shows more dynamic posing and motion that other mere "figures". You can even see the scar on his neck from [SPOILER REMOVED]!

FEATURING A BACK SO BEAUTIFUL YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE IT COULD BELONG TO A MAN. Lmao. I mean they're right but that is a hilarious way to phrase it.

Lmao these JJBA boxer briefs are lovely:


UGH GYRO YOU ARE TOO BEAUTIFUL.


And I was all "WHERE ARE MY PHANTOM BLOOD BABIES??" and realized they were drawn in Araki's later style eeeeeeeee WHICH APPARENTLY TRANSLATES TO WEARING A LOT LESS CLOTHES. GOD BLESS. ♥♥♥♥

Lol so a few days after I was talking to [personal profile] aroihkin about how I don't buy articulated figures because I hate how the exposed joints look, I see this super articulated Rohan (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) AND DECIDED THAT I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT HIM, I HATE MYSELF:

I REALLY HATE MYSELF. I LOVE ROHAN TO DEATH BUT I ALSO CONSTANTLY WANT TO KICK HIM OFF A CLIFF BECAUSE HIS ARROGANT ANNOYING ASS PISSES ME OFF AND APPARENTLY I ALSO WANT HIM SNEERING AT ME, ON MY DESK, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT. LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT THOSE HIDEOUS JOINTS. LOOK AT THAT SNEER-Y FACE. I LOVE/HATE HIM SO MUCH.

But he was going for a pretty good price on AmiAmi so YEAH. HE'S SOMEWHERE IN THE MAIL. Hopefully I won't break him in a rage when he gets here.

Enjoying a fairly relaxing (yet productive!) Saturday. It's a cool afternoon with a light breeze and I have hot coffee and way too much work to do, so it's pretty evenly balanced.


The trailer for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle makes me so happy every time I watch it. TOMOZAKU SUGITA AS JOSEPH EEEE. DAISUKE ONO AS JOTARO. AND OH GOD SHINICHIRO MIKI SOUNDS SO FLAWLESS AS GYRO. ESPECIALLY SINGING THAT STUPID MOZZARELLA CHEESE SONG. AND GYRO HAS HIS HORSE. OH GOD. I'M GOING TO CRY IT'S SO PERFECT.
velshtein: (DIO sleepless king)
Ugh I've been extra moody for the last few days because of a worse than usual period. Other than that, things have been going pretty well. November's about to start, a pretty hellish time, workload wise, for the semester. The weather warmed up a bit recently, I hope it cools down a lot more, I miss having winters.

I finally got around to reading Vento Aureo (a mafia story!) of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (I skipped it because of the terrible translations available). Dio's cute little son (Jonathat's son too since it was his body that fathered him), Giorno, is so adorable. Also all I want in life is some stupid AU with Jonathan raising Giorno (dio doesn't need to raise anyone, he can just sit in the house reading) BECAUSE HE NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO RAISE HIS OTHER SON AND S-SOB JONATHAN WOULD BE SUCH A SWEET FATHER. ;;

I have such a craving for cookies right now holy shit. COME TO ME.

Also lmao I finally paid attention to the lyrics for the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure opening and omg I didn't realize that they actually fit the story so well:

Once, there were two shooting stars descending from Heaven flying into an ocean of emotion. And from their impact, a ripple of strife exploded! One led the path of pride under guidance from the sun while the other strove for unbound ambition no matter the cost.

I expected someone a lot more generic but this is all HELLO JONATHAN AND DIO ARE EMOTIONAL STARS FROM HEAVEN AND HERE'S WHO THEY ARE and I love it so much. ♥♥♥♥

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure episode 2: Oh my god we got to see the opening sequence. I can't get over how much I love it. It's corny and dramatic and the 3D cgi doesn't match the actual anime at all and there's sound effects plastered all over the place and so much manga artwork worked in (including panels from way in the future storylines homg!) and it's glorious and my favorite thing ever.
velshtein: (DIO devil child)
I've been on a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure high for the last week, thanks to the new anime meeting too many of my expectations and read Steel Ball Run over the last few days AND THE THOUGHT OF TAKEHITO KOYASU ALSO VOICING DIEGO (SINCE HE'S AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE DIO) MADE MY HEAD EXPLODE AND MY HEART SING AND I'M GOING TO CRY IF I EVER GET TO SEE IT. LOOK AT THAT PRETTY FACE (spoiler-free thanks to yours truly):







brb throwing myself off a cliff because i can't handle this
velshtein: (DIO looking down)

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure episode 1: OH GOD THIS. I've been looking forward to this like crazy since I love the manga. Mostly because of one of my favorite villains of all time: DIO. WHICH TAKEHITO KOYASU IS VOICING BEAUTIFULLY OH MY GOD. Anyways Jonathan was adorable, Erina was super cute AND DIO WAS JUST HORRIBLE. LIKE CARTOONISHLY HORRIBLE I LOVE IT. THIS MAN IS JUST STRAIGHT UP OLD SCHOOL EVIL VILLAIN TO THE MAX AND IT'S WONDERFUL/UPSETTING. ♥♥♥
