This isn't a "goodbye eljay" post, I promise
some of you (all 2 of you who read my lj) maybe noticed I don't post as much, in fact I haven't made a single entry since I restored my computer back in November. I jumped ship to Twitter a year or so ago and to be honest, it suits my posting style a lot more. I'll still use this journal for big posts like the comic things, and still check the friends page occasionally. |

| Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable |
[Oct. 30th, 2009|02:45 am] |
About 4 years ago, I began reading Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I started with Series 3, because it was the most popular one, with it's own video game and anime series. Since Part 5 (the second most popular, it has it's own game too) wasn't finished yet, I went straight ahead into Part 4. Series 4 is probably the most overlooked series, possibly due to the incredibly horrible translation that is still unchallenged to this day. But a couple years ago, Conan O'Brien of 4dawgz attempted to re-translate and remove the QUALITY from Series 4, but as far as I know, only 1 volume has come of it.
EDIT: apparently chapter 30 has been retranslated as well, but none of the others yet.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Chapter 29, De-QUALITY'd

"Diamond is Unbreakable" is about Josuke Higashikata, illegitimate son to Joseph Joestar and Jotaro Kujo's uncle (despite being a teenager, seems a 65 year old Joseph got busy with a Japanese woman). Jotaro goes to look for Josuke in the town of Morioh, only to not only find Josuke but to discover that he has a Stand ability just like his. Furthermore, strange goings on have been happening in the town, involving a mysterious bow and arrow and the citizens, both good and evil, developing Stands of their own.
This series nixes the traveling found in most of the others and instead focuses on the town and it's places (and people) of interest, which gives it a lot more personal feel. The Stands and their abilities also become a lot more imaginative and unique. Also, I applaud Araki's attempt to bring the Pompadour back. If you can stomach bad translations, you can find the rest online. Manga Traders is a good site. Although it requires registration, it collects everything in volumes, making for easy download of multiple chapters. |

The much-anticipated BATB episode "Mayhem of the Music Meister" (featuring NPH) aired in the UK and was then leaked on the internet
This is probably the best episode since the Bat-Mite one. Someone kindly made an MP3 soundtrack to the entire episode too

I got a copy of Andrew W.K.'s Gundam Rock.
What I expected:
What I got:
It ranges from awesomely cheesy to actually pretty fun to listen to.
It's hard to compare this to Ritchie Kotzen's Gundam themed album; I like them both. But It'd probably be less embarassing to listen to Ai Senshi ZxR in public than anything by Andrew W.K. |

 Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!
4kids Turtles teaming up with the classic cartoon Turtles, and the original Mirage comics Turtles show up aswell.
The original voice actors aren't doing the old turtles (union laws or something) but these sound-alikes do a decent job.
I for one cannot wait |

"I fucking hate Peggy Hill, she is such a smug bitch. She has this inflated sense of superiority that she uses to avoid facing the fact that she is an ignorant bitch. She claims to be a family woman but she merely uses her family as a prop to distract people from what a terrible person she is. If Peggy Hill was a real life person I'd hate to see her in any position of real authority or power. Not just because of the massive abuses of power she'd be sure to commit but because I'd be scared to death to imagine the knuckle dragging rubes that she managed to trick into voting for her. Thankfully that can never happen."

His costume design is terrible. Prominently a horrible knock off of a Spider-Man costume with some makes of copying Deathstroke. The pouches are never used yet they're there, the teleporter is broken and he wears it, and he has his fucking logos on his fists. He often has superfluous belts on his biceps, thighs, etc. Was he designed by whoever created Sol Badguy? I remember someone suggesting that the belt around his neck is to keep his head on, which makes absolutely no fucking sense considering his bullshit powerset. Which leads me to my other point.
His power set is balls out retarded. Master assassin who somehow beats Taskmaster because his style is just that crazy! No...no that's just fucking dumb. Taskmaster has so much experience its ridiculous, not to mention being able to mimic your own. Deadpool also uses katanas and sais frequently which is just flat out weeaboo shit. Sais being the worst weapons in the world to use and the way he holsters his two katanas is completely wrong. Now for his main power, which is just a contrived copy cat of Wolverine's on steroids. He's unkillable, so unkillable that he was recently shown alive 1000 years in the future in a recent X-Force. I guess healing factor was so played out that by the time they got to Deadpool they had to embellish it, that and the '90s were XTREME of course. Just as an aside, something completely stupid happened with his powers in the shitty series Cable and Deadpool. Cable and Deadpool mix blood so somehow they end up with similar DNA and Cable gains Deadpool's healing powers. Touching blood, same DNA, gaining powers from TOUCHING PLASMA. Makes no fucking sense.
Lastly, his backstory is also terrible. Talk about Wolverine all over again. I don't know my past, woe is me! But this time its not because they made me forget, its just cause I'm crazy! Amnesia is a terrible plot device but since you fags think FFVII was an amazing story I'm sure you'd' fall for this sack of shit. Am I T-Ray? Am I Wade? Did my daddy abuse me? Or did he love me tenderly?
Get that shit out of here.
Most importantly he isn't fucking funny. |
