Comic Panel of the Week: The Scarecrow


Recently read through the "Doctor Strange: Lord's of Fear" Trade, and finally found out what the deal with Marvel's Scarecrow is! I'm going to try to review something for Halloween but if I don't get a chance I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!

"Golden Wind: Episode 1" First Thoughts


---SPOILER WARNING---

So after a long wait Part 5 of JoJo is finally out and to my surprise this episode actually covered alot, episode one pretty much covers chapters 1 to the beginning of chapter 6 excluding Giorno's back story from the beginning of chapter 5. Usually anime episodes adapt 2 to 3 chapters. They even added stuff like Leaky Eye Luca interrogating someone. I think the voices were good, obviously there in Japanese so of course there's something lost in translation but from what I can tell the voices match the characters.

The animation is still top notch but it seems to get better with every Part which means by Steel Ball Run the animation will look unbelievable. It looks like they put a bit more detail into everything compared to Diamond is Unbreakable, if I had to complain about one thing it's that some of the backgrounds looked like CGI but I might wrong. It was just really cool to see these scenes animated. It was awesome when we got references from other parts like Jotaro looking at a picture of the Stardust Crusaders, references to Dio, and the return of one of my favorite JoJo character's Koichi. Sadly we didn't get an opening or ending so I guess we'll have to wait until next week for that.

Like I said in my previous post about the Part 5 anime, Vento Aureo or Golden Wind as it's officially called isn't my favorite Part but maybe by re-experience it through watch this anime I'll like it more. Overall I really liked the episode and I hope this anime adaptation changes my opinion on the Part.
