Josuke: Yuuki Ono
Koichi: Yuuki Kaji
Okuyasu: Wataru Takagi
Rohan: Takuhiro Sakurai
It's happening
>Rohan
>Not Kamiya
Holy shit DP
>Okuyasu: Wataru Takagi
That's all I need to know.
>>133632897
>Rohan: Takuhiro Sakurai
>Not Kamiya
Fuck this shit
>>133632897
>Koichi: Yuuki Kaji
>Rohan: Takuhiro Sakurai
Yuuki Kaiji already voices Johnny and I think Sakurai also voices someone else?
>>133633090
Okuyasu's voice is perfect. I'm glad they decided not to fuck with it by giving him someone new.
I am however a bit sad that none of the other ASB voices return.
>>133633191
He was Bucciarati in the PS2 Aureo Vento game but not anyone else to my knowledge.
>>133632897
Thank god they dropped that fag Kamiya but not sure about Sakurai. Kaji is a little different from what I expect from Koichi too.
Sakurai is great for Rohan, Kamiyafags need to stop.
Sakurai acted Buccellati in part5 game.
>>133632897
I'm happy.
>404
That link doesn't show anything JoJo-related for me, did they remove the article already?
In any case, glad that Okuyasu is still Kuwabara. I was one of those people who found Kamiya a bad fit for Rohan, and Sakurai sounds much closer to what I imagined, though still a bit off. Koichi works, I guess, but I sure hope they don't switch Johnny's voice actor when the time comes, he's pretty much perfect.

>that Okuyasu is still Kuwabara.
You mean Onizuka. Kuwabara was voiced by Shigeru Chiba.
>>133633317
I hope that's not official art.
It's kinda weird because Kamiyan still voices Rohan in Eyes of Heaven maybe it's simply because he's too busy?
>>133632897
>Josuke: Yuuki Ono
>Koichi: Yuuki Kaji
Not sure if want. Especially Koichi.
>>133633357It is
>Josuke: Yuuki Ono
Eh.
>>133633357
PB also looked like shit and in the end it looked great
>>133633358
It's probably because the games adapt to the anime after it starts airing, and since the game's development started back in 2014, there was no way for them to do it here.
>>133633424
If you like gorilla faces, sure.
>>133633307
Music: Yuugo Kanno
>>133633424
Except it didn't? PB's promo art looked great.
> no Romi Park cussing as Echoes act 3
Why bother.
>Wataru Takagi
I hate his lung cancer voice.
>>133633442
Only Jonathan looked weird everyone else was fine
>>133633474
I remember when they published the first promotional art with Dio holding the Stone mask and Jojo a book and everyone was losing their shit.
>>133633514
You mean Sakurai?
>>133633424
It was fine, but people were very cautious about a new JoJo anime, and the promo artwork did little to exceed those expectations. Not too surprising, considering that the most well-known people in the staff were Koyasu and YES.
>>133633447
That's a shame, guess we're no longer getting new composers for each part. At least he's not that bad.
>>133632897
Does this mean part 4 is now legit confirmed? This makes mediamonds
>>133633514
>>133633532
Nah, Sakurai just sounds like he has a cold.
>>133632897
Hurry up and tell us the OP/ED you pieces of shit. I need to know if it's Smash Mouth.
>>133633259
Even as a fan of Kamiyan, I agree. During the ASB trailers I already felt that he didn't quite fit Rohan. I actually thought Kamiya should have been Bruno instead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbVsSqVyzSs
Josuke's voice here feels perfect for him
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN6UnT5_CKU
This is what we're actually going to get
>>133632897
>Josuke: Yuuki Ono
KIRYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09A6sWchhYM
I wanna know who the fuck is voicing Kira
>>133633754
prolly wont appear until season 2
>>133633307
>no Fumiaki Kouta as action animation director
Looks like the action could be worse than the first part of Stardust Crusaders.
Is Dengeki generally a trustworthy site?
>>133633685
I guess what we're getting will work pretty well for the goofy scene, like "Koichi really steals?".
>>133633785
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-11-17/jojo-bizarre-adventure-part-4-anime-main-staff-cast-april-premiere-revealed/.95484
>>133633754
Rikiya or bust.
>people actually liked Rohans ASB voice
It was too high. he sounded like a teenager. Glad its changing.
I hope we're going to get regularly scheduled character PV's like we did with Part 3 before debut, those made my week.
>>133633811
That site's source is Dengeki too, you silly goose. I'm asking if Dengeki is trustworthy.
Dengeki's own article has been already taken down which could be for a variety of reasons.
>>133633783
But the action in SC was pretty shitty
>>133633835
well either way, there's gonna be a promo video on the 19th, which will most likely confirm what was presented in the article.
Why change Josuke and Koichi? Their voices were perfect. Kaji's was perfect as Johnny too
>>133633856
We'll know before then because of Ultra Jump.
>>133633542
What is the name of Carlos' stand?
>No Wataru Hatano
What the fuck DP.
>Kamiya dropped

>>133633307
> Character Design: Terumi Nishii
another change of char desings again?
>>133634058
It only makes sense, since part 4 has one of the greatest design shifts.
>>133634058
>Terumi Nishii
What the fuck? Holy in the hell is that gonna work?
Can't wait.
>>133634143
That looks fucking terrible.
>>133634143
Fanart-tier.
>>133634143
Hopefully the simpler shading means less stiff animation.
>>133634216
Saw way better fanarts already
>>133632897
So they changed the cast even though Eyes of Heaven kept the ASB Seiyuus.
At last, there's still chances for King Crimson to be voiced by Norio Wakamoto
>>133634143
God I hope that's not official or final in any way. It makes me depressed.
>>133632897
Edward Elric not playing shorty. Fuck life.
Official sites say nothing about this new information. The last thing they said was that the next place for new information would be in the next Ultra Jump. We have no idea where Dengeki got theirs from.
Not saying it IS a hoax, but let's not be too quick to believe it.
I'm sure based DP will do a good job. Hopefully the promo video will show some cuts.
>>133633430
And also he's probably pretty busy with Kizumonogatari.
>>133634143
Looks way better than SC, heavily shaded faces are hideous.
>>133633577
>smash mouth
wew
>>133634143
Looks more like Part 1 and 2's style. I like.
>>133634359
Well, juggling many different projects is nothing new for the CV industry.
>>133634058
That guy did also designs for Mawaru Penguindrum, Servant x Service and Kimi no Iru Machi.
I just can't imagine him doing Jojo characters (unless t would look as shit as stat piece of official art.
Why they couldn't stick with character designer who did Battle Tendency? That part have so beautiful faces
David has been making a great job with the voices so far, so even though I don't like some of the changes, I trust them.

>>133634504
Okay, not all frames ave so nice faces, but they certainly looked better than square chins and long faces of SC
>>133634622
Read the manga.
>>133634556
Jotaro face always angry
Who should voice Yukako?
>>133634536
He looked like splendid gentleman, to bad got degrades to pic related. Yet, he still managed to look the best out of main cast.
>>133634704
Miyuki Sawashiro
>Yuki Ono
>https://youtu.be/eE-iqUJarQI
He's literally perfect.
>>133634704
Aki-Lovely does a good job as her in EoH, I couldn't ask for more.
>>133634729
Perfect.
>>133634729
They might as well if they're not keeping her as Jolyne.
>>133634704
Koshimizu Ami
Now is the perfect time to set up a fucking petition or something to help get Justin Cook and Christopher Sabat to voice Josuke and Okuyasu. Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency dub have been shitty so far, and this moment is the moment to fucking fix all of that.
>>133634776
use her for her too.
>they changed josuke and rohan VA
for what purpose
>>133633856
>>133633891
This is both wrong because the information that came out today was supposed to be out on the 19th's Ultra Jump issue, while the promo video will be out next month on December 19th.
>>133634795
here's what they should get for the dub
1. All of the money that goes into making a dub
2. Put it in translating and releasing all JoJo volumes until we can buy all of it
>>133634795
>dub
>>133634704
Sawashiro or the woman who does her in EoH.
>>133634835
this to be honest family
>>133634292
This is absolutely real, stop with the denial.
>>133634556
>Koichi's hair half blonde/half blue
Good trade off
The only thing I'm hoping for is fluid animation. Please stop with the riggid stiff animation, DP.
>>133632897
>Rohan: Takuhiro Sakurai
No, fuck Suzaku. What happened to Kamiyan?
>>133634795
Better to ask reddit
>>133634488
>>133634556
What the fuck is this shit art style?
Fuck man
Part 4 should have never been animated.
>>133632897
>Koichi voiced by Johnny
>not PS2 Giorno
WHY DID IT GO SO WRONG
>>133634938
Nah fuck off mate
So how do you think the animation will be?
Will it follow the manga with making everyone buff at first and soften them later?
Or directly go with the new style?
So who WILL voice Johnny?
>>133634968
it'll have a static artstyle because having several character models for something like this would be a nightmare.
RURUSHU
>>133634978
No point thinking about castings 20 years away.
>>133634978
sbr will never be animated
David is fucking gay
>>133634704
Kobayashi for Yukako and M.A.O for Reimi
>tfw still no Kira voice actor announced
>>133634968
I think they'll have the style switch, that's what they did with Iggy. Also, going along the manga is much easier than redrawing so many scenes from scratch to adapt them all in a single style.
>>133635021
Fuck off. Dont talk shit about the best part.
>>133634978
I would be animated like 6-7 years from now. so there is hope that Yuuki Kaji would voice him again.
>>133635052
It's not a matter of "talking shit", I love part 7 but it's very unlikely we'll see it animated
>>133635049
The Iggy switch was after a single arc and was just one character as a nod to how it happened.
To do it to every character in the anime is a whole different kettle of fish.
Wasn't Hatano Wataru at the SDC event when they announced Part 4?
I thought that basically meant that he would be keeping his role.
>>133634704
If it's not Kobayashi Yuu then I give up on David
>>133635041
They're going to change his voice. Eyes of Heaven will be the last time we'll hear this perfect Kira.
>>133634704
Hanakawa
>>133634968
Judging by the promo art I have the feeling they'll stick with the mid DiU style all the way through just to be consistent. The midway style is the best style anyway.
>>133635021
Is there even anime with horses done right? Well in Shingeki horses looked and moved even nicely, but lack "galloping" sounds killed the fun
>>133635103
HanaKana would be fine if she pulls another Zange, which won't happen. She fits more of the Reimi role.
>>133633237
>Bucciarati
Who?
>>133635154
Is it really that hard to adapt Part 4? Goddammit David.
>>133635181
Exodus did them well, I think.
>>133635197
Batshit insane Hanakawa is the best breh
>>133635181
>but lack "galloping" sounds killed the fun

so whats the problem again
>Rohan isn't Kamiya
>>133635103
Unless she can flip out like she did in Bakemonogatari, I don't see it happening desu.
>>133635262
While true, there's no real reason to doubt it. The promo art has no matches on GIS. The timing is correct, none of the claims are outright unreasonable.
>>133635088
>perfect Kira
best kira voice is the one from the kumikyoku medley.
>>133635262
Since they took it down within a few hours it seems pretty likely that the information was false.
>>133635319
I think she did a great job in Prison School.

>>133635352
That or they violated an embargo by mistake and quickly rectified the error once they'd realised.
The fact it's down now means nothing in terms of real or fake. Only when it either reappears or official info comes out that contradicts it will its removal mean anything.
>>133635402

I don't think this was going through their heads.

>changing Josuke's literally perfect voice
I understand not being able to get Kamiya for one reason or another but this is some bullshit
>>133635504
Okay, i know it's not going to be a loud rumbling sound as in movies, But surely they make some noises while running.
>>133635589
Dengeki are a media giant. Perhaps one of the most reliable outlets for entertainment information in Japan.
The only reason to not trust the article is because they had to take it down again because they obviously put it up too soon. There's no reason to actually doubt the information at this point in time.
you niggers are in so much denial hahahah
>>133632897
I fucking love that cover so much. This cover motivated me to get trough the shitty middle part of part 3 to finally be able to read part 4 and except for Josuke never being as badass as on that cover I was not dissapointed.
>>133634872
>denial
Don't be an idiot anon, I'm simply saying it like it is. If I had to bet I too would say it's more likely to be real, but it's not 100% certain yet.

why can't you guys wait until the PV to start overreacting holy fuck
they changed voices, so what? we haven't heard them doing those roles and we're literally a month away from actually hearing them voicing those characters. hell. that key art may be quite different in motion. I'd give them the chance to show us what they have in store. at least then we'll have a proper reason to be pissed.

>>133636098

>>133636098
I just said they changed the voices you mong. Jotaro and Okuyasu are the only ones who get to keep their original voices.
>>133636120
>>133636127
Shit, sorry. Fuck my reading comprehension.
Anyway, it's not like the 'new' cast haven't played other roles, especially someone like Sakurai Takuhiro; we know what they sound like already. The 'original' seiyuu were casted perfectly and changing that into something that still works but not as good is pretty shitty move on David's part.
Worst part will get animated after that. If they do 4 they will at the very least continue till 5.
>>133636311
unless you've read the japanese, french or italian versions of VA, you've read a bullshit version with a made up translation so you have no real way of saying you've actually read vento aureo and basically every region that has a legitimate translation of it rank it highly

>>133636478
In part 3 there are hands down the worst stand fights in the whole series. The final part of Stardust Crusaders is good, but most of the rest, god damn is it shit.
Also Golden Wind or Vento Aurero sounds more badass than Stardust Crusaders.
>>133636521

>>133636478
We love SC because of the main cast, but it is much rougher and raw in content than every other part. To deny that is a bit delusional.
why changing the voice cast when in EoH its the same?
>voices are recicled
No they are not, there are new lines as well
Legit question, where are they going to end the first episode?
No way they can do Josuke's intro, the bank heist scene, the intro of the villain, him killing Joksuke's grandpa, and the fight all in one episode.
Vento Aureo is actually great animation material. The fights had always great concepts but you couldn't make out shit. In color and animated it could be a hidden gem.

FUCK YOU DAVID WHY GO TO HELL
I actually thought diamond is not crash was the official name of Diamond Is Unbreakable for a long time.
>>133636707
It was the official name of Diamond is Unbreakable for a long time, and I believe closer to the japanese in a literal translation.
>>133632897
>Okuyasu's voice is still Wataru
Based G-
>Rohan's voice changed
Fuck, thats the only characters i cared about
>>133636786
'Diamond is not crash' sounds stupid as fuck, I'll never understand why the fanbase made it and the duwang translation in general into a shitty meme
>>133636786
I doubt it. Even google translator is translating ダイヤモンドは砕けない Daiyamondo wa Kudakenai literally into Diamond is Unbreakable.
>>133636849
That does not mean anything. For one, I seriously doubt that using google translator in 1992 (if it even existed back then) would have yielded the same result as it does now.
Anyway, it's even listed on wikipedia as the former translation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Is_Unbreakable
>>133633768
I think he will appear at season finale, with the final episode having the transition to Kosaku
>>133636836
It was the only scan available and reading it is a different experience all together.
Fuck you David, please don't change Kira's VA
>>133636849
I'd be surprised if Google's Translator did not cross reference when things are copied into it and if it matches a known good translation, it puts that out.
I know nothing of japanese really but I was always under the impression that using "wa" like that meant "not" and I think "kudakenai" means to break or to crush.
>>133636927
No shit. Are you retarded?
>>133636985
Jesus Christ part 6 art was so fucking bad.
>>133636985
Probably, do tell me why though.
>>133634556
Koichi's nose looks a bit off. Hope they fix that.
I get that during part 4, the artstyle changed a lot, but I don't think his nose ever looked like that.

or
Or
ORYuusuke and Kuwabara from YYH
>>133634624
It was beautiful.
>>133636979
You're right. I tried to replace diamond with stone and it translates to stone is not crumble.
>no Part 3 art
Thank god. And the VAs aren't bad but ASBs are waaaay better
>>133636979
>I know nothing of japanese really but I was always under the impression that using "wa" like that meant "not" and I think "kudakenai" means to break or to crush.
Well, that's not true. In that sentence "wa" is simply "is" and "kudakenai" is the word for smashing or breaking with the "nai" ending indicating a negative.
"Unbreakable" is a good translation, "not crash" is an understandable mistake by someone with lacking English skills.
>>133637134
>Diamond is not Crumble
>>133637164
Fair dues, good to know Anon thanks.
>>133637164

Duwang was done by people who knew Japanese but were really bad at English. So, mostly speaking, duwang was quite accurately translated but shit English. Trio cleaned up the english but didnt translate further.
VA's is done by people who are dog shit at Japanese but can write in English. This means they just made shit up if they couldn't make sense of it. The english making more sense disguises the fact the translation is actually much worse

The bank heist scene would probably make for a good cliffhanger to end on.

Part 5's translation was bad in its own right but it was by different people. Duwang wasn't the translating group's name by the way, it was their misreading of the Kanji for "Morioh".
The name Diamond is Not Crash isn't from their translation though. Even the first ASB trailers used "not crash", but after a while they must've realized how silly it was because the later ones and every other official thing since has gone for "unbreakable".

Reading part 5 is a real challenge. Figuring out what's going on in JoJo fights is already hard enough even with a correct translation.

I'm Italian, I've read vento aureo in italian and I like it more than part 1 and 6, but I put it under everything else, because I got bored halfway through. I think it's just a matter of taste (shit taste in my case)

That's fair enough, if you've read a legit approved translation of it then you don't have to justify yourself.
Better than just meme spouters who don't know shit about it but insist everyone listen to what they have to say without bringing anything worthwhile to the conversation.
Part 5 is actually pretty amazing. Even if all the characters dress really weird.

It's about equal, they've got a very similar ring to them. The English one maybe sounds a bit more certain about itself in a way because if you want to be really accurate the Japanese title is more like "Diamond doesn't break".

thats a new face.

also color switched moments looked better than in SC.
No to mention anatomy was better
Can anyone give me an example of the differences between the english and french/italian translations of P5? Like what's the big deal.

What about the translation for the final chapters.
The current translation goes with "Crazy Diamond is Unbreakable" but the Wikia lists them as "The Invincible Crazy D"
They list it as
クレイジー・Dダイヤモンドは砕けない
>they changed rohan
>they changed Josuke
>they changed Kira
>Johnny VA will die before the anime

>Music
>HAHAH GUYS! .... JAZZ, HAHAHAHA!
>Koichi voiced by the guy from Ro-Kyu-Bu
>Yuuki Ono

That's just the title of the part again except with "Crazy D" instead of "Diamond".
It's up to the translator to decide what sounds more natural to them there but for consistency's sake let's say the most accurate option is "Crazy D is Unbreakable".
>>133637743
So "Invincible" is an acceptable antonym for "doesn't break", ya reckon?
On an English front, I'd probably trend towards not saying they're equals. Because invincible sort of implies it doesn't take damage, where as "doesn't break" just means it won't break.
Glad I'm too dumb to be a translator.
