[@jackbright2125]

I disagree, he got fucked in the OVA. He shoots at DIO, DIO deflects it over and over again, gets bounced a bit by the barrier, then stops time and kills him. The entire time he seems completely unconcerned. In the anime, DIO looks smug, steps on a barrier, gets shot, whirls around surprised, deflects it, trips another, almost gets rekt again, he's getting the absolute shit shot out of him. He actually has an "Oh shit" moment when he notices he's surrounded. Then Kakyoin's hype theme starts playing and he looks supremely confident, he's staring at DIO like "I fucking dare you motherfucker" and said the same thing, then uses his ultimate attack. And then he dies.

[@isaiahmonroig2262]

The 1993 one made their attacks look more destructive but the 2015 one has better music and animation

[@poego6045]

Honestly, new one has worse animation. They look WAAAYYY more stiff and awkward, since they're not really animating it as much as they are trying to move the characters from one manga pose to the next, with no consideration to how it'll animate or make physical sense. The deflected emeralad splash for instance in the new one is just Dio flicking his wrists in this awkward, arm position, whereas in the ova, he feels as off balanced as the attack is making him, swinging to blast away the emerald bullets in continuous actions rather than stiff key pose tweens.

[@MrGse1992]

isaiah monroig oh come on, I love the 2015 version too but you can't say it had better animation cuz the 1993 version have superior animation.

[@isaiahmonroig2262]

MrGse1992 In terms of fluidity the 1993 wins. But in terms of spectacle 2015 wins. They both have good animation

[@MrGse1992]

isaiah monroig I agree with you completely. I was only talking about the animation but you are right. The 2015 was faithful to the manga with its colorful atmosphere and upbeat tone. The 1993 version was weird, it had superior animation but the tone was dark and it took itself way to seriously. I don't mean Jojo can't be serious at times, but Jojo is a series where weird shit and bizarre events happen that is so over the top and crazy. The 1993 was so unjojo in that regard.

[@chrash2012]

but spectacle has nothing to do with animation, all animation is is the illusion of movement so of course the one with the best fluidity is gonna be the one with the best animation.

[@KirbyLinkACW]

Man, the 1993 version really utilizes silence like no tomorrow when compared to the 2015 version. It's insane. And brilliant. *Edit:* It seems like the 1993 version is more atmospheric, while the 2015 version is more theatrical.

Jimmy Hanley No buddy... I'm not high. Compare the scenes when Dio is running away from Emerald Splash at least. Look at the smooth animation and explosions in the old, watch it frame by frame and look at the amount of effort that was put into it. The new one had more polished artwork, NOT ANIMATION. The new one relied more on cuts to well illustrated pieces than well animated movements.

[@LemKuuja]

[@OnajTamo]

You see Joseph, had you taught Kakyoin Hammon, he could have infused Hierophant green with Hammon and his appendages would have been dangerous even in stopped time. (Remember that when Dio attacked Joseph in stopped time still used a ranged attack) Or rather Araki had you given Joseph a non-shit stand...

[@reyarturopendragon6361]

That...make sense

[@mariuslucas4141]

That could've been a stroke of genius. However, Hamon is not that easy to learn let alone teach (Joseph was a genius at hamon combat but nothing suggests he'd be great at teaching it) I agree on your point on Joseph's stand being so shitty though.

[@OnajTamo]

IrMaXuS L He could have done that thing when Zeppeli gave Jonathan the Hamon.

[@mariuslucas4141]

Blue Dragon Assuming that Joseph could do the same. But then again, Kakyoin must atleast have the skill to let the hamon flow across Hierophant's appendages. That, and now that I think about it, hamon's effectiveness weakens the larger the area you inflict with it. Spreading out hamon all across that many appendages of Hierophant will significantly weaken the hamon.

[@datguy8805]

actually id say that joseph has an excellent stand for hamon users, the vines are portable rope that gives you more options as to what you can do with given how one could control it, and if he were able to make enough whine he could make the area of battle a living hell for them to fight him in, if there was enough he could just stand on the whine while his opponents have a difficult time dealing with a severe lack of mobility, plus he could use it to attack, grant it the former would only be if that ability were increased to be really copius amounts of wine, although he could still use wine based hamon attacks, although regardless its a bad stand vs stand kind of stand.

There's nothing wrong with the animation of the OVA (aside from Kakyoin's six fingers at 1:29) it's very well animated. But that's where it ends. It's well animated. It doesn't have the absurdity, or more fitting, bizarre aspects that people who are into JoJo love. None of the sound effects are there if at all. And they were planning on doing it with Phantom Blood, which bombed super hard. I can't imagine some of the crazy stuff that happens way later or characters from later parts to work well with the super serious style that the OVAs had.

Hiroshu Pretty sure it's implying that it was less of a kick, more of a push for DIO himself to get back into his former position before the time stop. Remember DIOs power was still a mystery, if he didn't get back into his position before, it'd look like he was teleporting.

The OVAs voice acting and the style/tone is behind but man O man, that animation is amazing!

[@SS2LP]

I will say I still think the OVA is worth watching. Simply put the animation and choreography of the fights are super cool even if the OVA takes creative liberties and isn't true to the manga like the anime is. The main advantage of the anime is the presentation and obviously being true to the manga; the voice acting is loads better as well.

[@Joetino]

They were going to release a Phantom Blood movie with no Speedwagon, which doesn’t make sense considering that the SPW was in the Stardust Crusaders OVA. I think they were planning to use Speedwagon in the planned Battle Tendency movie.

[@alexbaxthedarkside]

the OVA is beautifully animated, tons of frames of animation, but I'm happy to call David productions the Definitve Jojo in animation form, and if theres more OVAs that make the best moments all the more gorgeous, thats great, maybe cherry pick the best bits and make a fan edit :)

[@AlejandroParra-fl6md]

Unique and different saying that the Ova was much better. No, the animation is not more fluid. It is slow, with the pictures badly accelerated. The voice actor of DIO is not better in OVA or please can not you compare me to the robot of the ova that with the DIO of the anime

[@DclGamingPurple]

Ive always thought it was horrible. Really bland characters and unnecessarily choppy animation. voice actors are pretty terrible too IMO.

[@seatray_real]

I love OVA for sheer amount of power stands have. I always was wondering why stands felt so "weak" in the Anime. It seema like they lack power,whilst in OVA,they can properly dismantle buildings. When OVA Dio punched through Kakyoin,i just *felt that* . Even with all respect to Anime DIO,Voice Acting and the new style,the og version has more fire.

[@joshjoonas2676]

someone make a version with the Old one with the voices of the new version plz!

[@AVarghul]

Aaaaaah. Good old Framerate vs Graphics debate. I will always prefer the smoothness. Even while missing the SUPER, OVER THE TOP JOJO-ness, the OVA had Rurouni Kenshin-esque fluidity and atmosphere. You know, good ol' 90's atmosphere (Cowboy Beebop, Trigun, and others) And we know that shit is quite the sight to behold. Back then, these guys were quite already over the top: Hell, it was a vampire, super-sayan like dude that could stop the fucking time, vs the stoic-est wall in anime history (who's also just a student, yet looks like a WWE fighter in his prime). The 2014 just made them flashier, a LOT more flashy!

[@portocală33]

DAMN THE EMERALD SPLASH SCENE WAS SO CLEAN

[@Quasarion]

While the 2012 show had better visuals IMO, the OVA has a distinct "supernatural" vibe that makes it stand out: Dio looks like a definite pale-skinned vampire, and the action looks very eerie and ghostly (Stands being spirit manifestations).

[@theskipper7305]

is it bad I think the new anime is better primarily due to the fact that the scenes are played out much better and with more intensity and drama? though to me the music greatly helps and how the voice acting feels more heartfelt (couldn't think of a better word) in its performance

[@kaedenle]

No, because the OVA sucked. Skipping over major parts, horrid Voice Acting, and Avdol's death, period.

[@TungstenViper]

It's an OVA. It takes Creative liberties in the narrative department. The mood is serious and feels like a movie, most of the odd events feel more bizzarre in contrast. The anime is a 1:1 adaptation of the anime with some directorial changes and some skipping and censorships here and there.

[@TungstenViper]

@@archishadhar2093 oops

[@matthewpopow6647]

There is exactly 1 thing in the OVA than in the 2015 anime...Kakyoin's Cool Shades at Night!

[@jployer9553]

The new one greatly improved the revealing of Dio's Stand. Instead of showing Dio freezing time then one-shotting Kakyoin he just simply one-shots Kakyoin leaving the viewer wondering what happened for a while. The old one is still respectable for it's time and has better animation.

[@jployer9553]

I mean, this clip is chopped up and pieced together, he just one-shots him in the actual newer anime before showing how it happened.

[@ttchme9816]

To be honest, if the ova got remastered , I think that fighting on top of an mosque is better than a normal rooftop. I like the old one better since it has better place and it displayed more epicly. But the new one took all the spotlight other than that.

[@LanceHyena]

something about the way the OVA showed Kyakoin flying into the water tower had so much more power to it than the anime.

[@young5395]

[@sidjtd]

I loved this OVA for seemingly forever and read JoJo since the early 90's but honestly the new anime is much much better. The OVA has some incredible moments and incredibly well animations and "interpretations" that aren't present in the manga or change the manga slightly but the OVA as a whole is just a big mess. Honesty the prequel episodes ruined it for me. I absolutely hated the later animated OVA episodes. Made a JoJo seem so damn boring with horrible music and uninspired voice actors, despite them sounding so good in the original 6 episodes

[@TsarofScars]

Great, now I'm crying over two instances of the same scene. Thanks

[@manamaster6]

The OVA had more weight on the animation of the impact, but the over-the-top DIO interpretation of the actor, plus the camera work and music of the newer version make it more enjoyable to watch. In the end they are both good.

[@DrRyan82994]

It's too bad Takehito Koyasu didn't voice dio in the ova as well, he was acting back then too.

[@megamage911]

Agreed! He just brings so much bombast to the character! He's clearly having all kinds of fun while voicing DIO! xD

[@thecake6635]

He was busy with the Red Suns

[@MrSlaughterrific]

people can shit talk and live in nostalgia all they want. Animation and voice acting have come a long way. Not to say I don't like the OVA. It was enjoyable in the very least.

[@JaydenW.]

Slaughterrific The action was better in the O.V.A. And I prefer Dio's voice in the original.

[@PikaPower131313]

it hasnt aged well at all.

[@ValeriePersonalReal]

Slaughterrific na it fuckin sucked lol

[@ValeriePersonalReal]

the OVA i mean

[@atomskthepirateking2776]

you're a pleb vincent

[@skyrogue1977]

Would it be right to consider the Dio from Phantom Blood and Crusaders as different people?

[@hiroparadise8152]

i mean, it's just his head in the body of jonathan, but they have fused almost completely, so it's safe to say that he's no longer the original dio but a kind of fusion between he and jonathan

[@maybeamistake]

Chair MAN Nah, it's the same character, only a bit more wise, he's got a little character development.

[@Eterna1Ice]

Consider PB Dio - Dio Brando and SC Dio - DIO.

[@sulociou7846]

Skyrogue19 no, although it seems so

[@gtafan110010]

the anime was always nicely animated but the ova is something special. it's animation was insanely fluent throughout

[@Nagassh]

Man I love the silence / sound distortion in the OVA's stopped time.

[@Jona_001]

3:00 T Pose in 1993, OH MY GOOOOOD!

[@KroVey]

1993 has a way better animation from a technical point of view. Aesthetically, as a still image, the newer version is way more appealing in every way, colors, artwork, backgrounds. The sfx and voice acting is also vastly superior in the new version. But after watching the 1993 version, the new one's animations feel... cheap. Just take the example of Dio deflecting Kakyoin's crystals. In the old one you feel the power of the attack. In the new one it simply looks like there's mini fireworks going off around Dio. It's not a matter of present day animators being less skillful or anything like that, it's simply studios pushing for time-saving animating techniques over artistic ones. Also there's an overuse of cg special effects for the same reason who steal away lot's of artistic value, unfortunately.

[@CasualGraph]

I love the visual metaphor of having Dio take off his cloak when we find out his stand's ability. Subtle but effective.

[@armedweiss5531]

What's the metaphor?

[@MrGse1992]

Hakka No Togame I think what he means is that Dio was wearing the cape the entire time when we didn't know what his power was as if he is covering it, but when we learned what his power was he removed the cape as if he revealing it.

[@CasualGraph]

Yeah, maybe cue or touch would've been a better word.

now, let me see rerorero comparison 1993 vs 2015

[@MrPomegranX]

This wasn’t a vs match or a fight... This was a slaughter...

[@Tambd]

Ngl emarald splash looked like it would have done a frick ton of damage in the OVA

[@funkybones]

The ova isn't a perfect adaptation, but I always loved how it made JoJo feel way more cinematic for it's own right. Very 2 different adaptations I can respect

[@whichDude]

3:25 T-pose! Assert your dominance! Oh, that did not go as planned...

[@kpnk4195]

Im not a fan of either series but i really like both of these, but i think the 1993 does a few things better. The camera angles and atmosphere in the ova were more engaging to me

[@GalekC]

It's cause the anime here sorta blindly followed the manga panel-by-panel

[@poego6045]

It's the strict adherence to the manga's panels, and the somewhat lackluster posing (surprisingly). The poses for this animation are just not strong enough compared to the ova, so the animation and action feels stiff, exacerbated further by the much more limited animation than the OVA had.

[@HikariKunkawaii]

I dont see what the 1993 did better, newer was superior in every way

[@inr9751]

Solaг D. Except animation

[@theempoleon78]

Nah, but real shit tho. How the fuck are they flying?

[@theempoleon78]

Archdeacon Royce of the Deep Jotaro was flying once.

[@deadaccount2968]

For DIO I think it's because of THE WORLD's powers, and since Jotaro's Star Platinum is almost exactly same Stand powers wise, Jotaro can fly too. Or it's the simpler answer, because Jojo.

[@theempoleon78]

Here we go, Way to go Neputyūnu I have a theory about it. The World stops time which essentially means everything is frozen. Even gravity. Araki should have explained it but, it's Jojo.

[@piluex2]

I think it is just a misadaptation, while reading the manga I always tough they were just using their stands to jump and the aura thing was just stylistic. even in the ova you don't see them fly a lot, only Dio does it a bit,but he's a vampire so why not.

[@piluex2]

Ivan and 6 others Well, he did some levitation stuff during Phantom Blood, so I guess that counts

[@tearusmidnight313]
