Hope there's some sort of snazzy special edition a la the Sailor Moon releases. I'd be all over that like hair to Jotaro's hat.

Glad to see it coming west but no BD is disappointing. I'm glad I imported the JP BD releases.

Yeah, no. I hope Snakebit1995's post sunk in by the way because everything he said is correct. Japan can get away with shouting out Vanilla Ice's name like it's a special attack going out of fashion, but you can't do that here in fictional media without serious implications (even though, for the record, everyone stopped giving a crap about Vanilla Ice a very long time ago).

And lol at you saying "everything will be okay because Japanese voices".


I know the situation, hence purposely mentioning after I edited my post. lol People like dual-audio for some reason.

Already own the JP blu-rays but more Jojo is good news.
Hopefully this will mean that Stardust Crusader might see an eventual release (particularly on blu-ray as the JP blu-rays do not have English subtitles like the first two parts as far as I know).

If there's no dub, I'm just going to have to wait longer for it.

A character can scream, "Vanilla Ice" without having to pay Vanilla Ice. They couldn't use his lyrics or his songs but if screaming a song title or an artist name is as bad as it gets, they can totally do that.

Shows like Big Bang Theory never would have gotten off the ground if it was illegal to say the name of another IP without getting permission or paying first.

I wonder if WB will give it a dub, it could be sub only and then dub BD if it sells well. I hope a UK release follows.

I think they really meant they would rather have Blu-ray discs.

Like I said earlier, there's going to be a screening of JJBA at Anime Central in Rosemont next week; Warner Bros. will be there along with Crunchyroll and Richard Epcar

I hope Warner can handle it, but I have a feeling they won't be able to, 'cus they don't know shit about selling anime which isn't based off their own IPs.

I can understand if it's releasing a game or show in the U.S. with an English dub because not all of us are crazy about the Japanese language and reading subs over here. However, on the flip-side of things, the purists tend to get obnoxious over localized releases with their two classic mantras of stupidity:

1. Original Japanese audio or no buy.

2. No dub needed, just release with subs.

^I honestly can't stand seeing this nonsense spewed out on every forum and trailer everywhere I look. These are not solutions.

I stand corrected. I guess I must have been thinking of some extreme cases.

Might have something to do with not wanting to pay money to revisit something in the exact same way you originally watched it when that can already be done for free legally on Crunchyroll. Dubs give me more incentive.
