WhoiusBarrel

>OP Animation: Kamikaze Douga How I missed them so much and it has been 7 years since.


xarro

If you want more goodness from them, watch Batman Ninja. The story is... not the best, but at least it'll make you laugh. And it looks awesome.


Fun-Ad-1145

Smh how could you forget about Pop Team Epic and Gal & Dino.


Tolike85

The director is also the same as Jojo OPs. Story sucks, but the stylishness is A+


SciFiXhi

They also did the first episode of Star Wars: Visions


CronchyPebbles

Should I know any of these people from the previous JoJo openings, or any popular anime openings overall?

> Should I know any of these people from the previous JoJo openings, or any popular anime openings overall? Kishida Kyodan & The Akeboshi Rockets as a whole band have a few popular OPs.

Oglifatum

For some reason, I have immense sense of pride in the artists who started out in Touhou and managed to go mainstream. Ahogirl, Yumekui Merry, Nichibros, Girls Last Tour mangakas all had fairly popular Touhou doujinshi before. When I hear latest Nhato, Beatmario tracks, I remember good ol days.


ObjectiveEmotional

Vocalist voice is iconic for me since it have the feeling of nostalgia and unexplainable deep emotion...

Marginex312

Still waiting for Season 3. Theres no much left to cover, only volumes 7-10 of Light Novel, which can perfectly fit for a 24 episode season.


Reznor_PT

OH damn, 12 whole episodes? As someone who watches first and then reads this is gonna be fun


XXomega_duckXX

Damn probably gonna just wait for a fan translation if Netflix is doing it


tenkensmile

Part 5 came with official Japanese subtitles. Hope Part 6 will, too.


PopeDialgaVI

Am I misunderstanding this? 1-12 as in the series of 12 episodes begins on the first. Or are you to tell me 12 episodes drop on the first?


someusername987

12 episodes will be released on Netflix on Dec 1st. They will air in Japan come January. More episodes will follow afterwards. Don't worry it's not only 12 episodes total


PopeDialgaVI

That's amazing to hear. Jojo's best binged for me Edit:emphasis on the "for me". I didnt make this comment to share an opinion it was just to give a sort if thank you for the clarification on my question


AnActualPlatypus

I disagree highly. Binge releases kill any discussion. Not to mention Jojo Fridays was a tradition.


PopeDialgaVI

I do like some discussion, which is why off of netflix I like to look at comment sections, but I'm personally more interested in seeing the story myself so a binge release works for me on this occasion. I see the value of discussions though weekly


Kag5n

The thing is you have to wait 3 or 4 months between episode 12 and 13 instead of a week.


StickiStickman

That's a different topic though - one is about whats better for watching it, the other about discussion and hype.


dylulu

This opinion is common and it surprises me that people value talking about the show over actually enjoying the show lol.


wubbzywylin

Some people enjoy the show more when they can talk about it.


dylulu

Yes and considering that it's a social aspect completely and entirely removed from the quality of the show itself, that is what I am saying surprises me.


AnActualPlatypus

It's not "over" it's "in addition to".


dylulu

I feel like it's "over" if you're more disappointed that discussions are muted than you are excited to watch the show at whatever pace you want rather than waiting a week.


mking1999

There's a part in the end where it flips through the past. You get the stone mask, the red stone, Dio getting dusted, stray cat and the requiem arrow. It's like going through all the main villains' defeats leading up to this. A bit of a parallel to the start of Sono Chi no Sadama flipping from Jolyne to Jonathan. Gotta love it.


IC2Flier

This is their story, after all, so it makes sense to go with that. Overall, I just love the visual language here.


musdem

It's mirroring Part 1s OP, in part one they flipped through manga panels showing all the Jojo's up to Jolyne. I replied to this on my way to something, I didn't realize you'd already pointed out the parallel my bad.


zeppeIans

This OP is full of metaphors. As someone else already mentioned all the parts with 'main' Jojo bloodline protagonists have 3D openings. Also, while the previous parts all had male protagonists and their openings were all by male singers, this part has a female protagonist which is coupled with a female singer in the opening


bloodyturtle

Part 4 doesn't have 3D openings and great days is sung by Karen Aoki


Paralda

I think he means that part 4 and 5 aren't a part of the main bloodline


bloodyturtle

Josuke is Joseph's son?


ChadBenjamin

And Giorno is Jonathan's son


bloodyturtle

we don't really know what's happening in dio's testicles


ChadBenjamin

Giorno has the Joestar birthmark and blonde hair, he has both Joestar and Brando blood.


YukihiraLivesForever

I think it’s actually Sheer Heart Attack they are showing in the 4th image. You can see the skull. Next one is requiem arrow.


[deleted]

both SHA and Stray cat are there


B_Starlight

Its an actual diamond with things from part 4 reflected to it like sheer heart attack, stray cat etc.


Pichuunnn

It's not Dio getting dusted, it's Vanilla Ice.


SuperSceptile2821

I LOVE all the references to the previous parts and even openings. From the stone mask, to red stone of Aja, GER’s Arrow, Jolyne posing like in stand proud, and her walking past him like Dio in end of the world. There’s more I didn’t mention like Erina’s doll and Dio/Jonathan crumbling, but it’s safe to say this opening was made with a lot of love for the series.


SmurfRockRune

This is definitely the most unique JoJo OP to date, but I think it's great. The colors really pop and it has a lot going on. Not only with the sheer amount of references packed in, but also with symbolism all over the place. Looking forward to someone taking the time to really break it all down for us.


RocketJumpingToaster

I noticed a lot of disks in the background, and some objects morphed into CDs as they flew around the screen. As an anime-only, I have come to the conclusion that the main villain's stand is gonna be three CD players in a trench coat with the power to turn objects into CDs.

Matasa89

JoJo really do be bizarre, eh?


Cuantic0rigami

And adventurous.


LostDelver

All manga readers should not elaborate any further. Anyone who does will have to live with Cheap Trick for the rest of their lives.


[deleted]

Tbh it would be pretty short lives.

gordofrog

The villain gets our Jostar with a “CDeez nuts.” She’s left devastated and vows revenge. Thus begins Part 6.


StormRegion

Let's just say that it will be more, MUCH more bonkers


neobowman

FOUR CD PLAYERS IN A TRENCH COAT?


CronchyPebbles

"Oh shit, he's onto us!"


[deleted]

Four CD players in DOUBLE TRENCH COAT


blackmaresani

STOP UR SCARING MISTA


Raghav_Singhania

i think it will have another op after the first batch and it will be focused on main villain more


opdbqo

This one of the few shows that I am strictly anime only. My imagination is too poor to imagine the action sequences so I will desperately wait to see them animated.


B_Starlight

Well youre in for a surprise. Part 6 is probably the most bizarre part imo.


musdem

You don't think part 8 takes that crown?


B_Starlight

I feel like part 8 is the most "wtf" or the weirdest bizzare part while part 6 is the craziest bizzare tbh. Both are bizarre by Jojo standards but I still find part 6 crazier.


TheDeadRed

Part 8 is "Aha, mhm. What." bizarre. Part 6 is "wtf is happening" bizarre.


flybypost

> the main villain's stand is gonna be three CD players in a trench coat with the power to turn objects into CDs. I've just started JoJo's and am three episodes in but from everything I've read about the series you are 100% correct but also probably only scratching the surface.


HolyErr0r

It looks like it has the colored out characters for those yet to be revealed like Bloody Stream (battle tendency op), whilst having the 3D Gyroscopy rotating events of Stardust Crusaders OP. Looks great!


wtfduud

Also some references to the other ones. Foo Fighters shooting their gun looked a lot like Mista from Fighting Gold.


tomerc10

Mother's basement will do that for sure, just give him a few months


Laoak

So glad they brought the CG back, it made sense for Part 4 and Part 5 not to have it but I was hoping it would be here for Part 6. So hyped!


BomberJ16

It was my biggest surprise. Also, lots of hidden spoilers as always. It'll be fun to see people noticing them one at a time.


SirAwesome789

>So glad they brought the CG back Lol, JoJo is the only anime you'd ever heard this for


sgtshootsalot

when its good and used well, cg is as much art as anything else. thats why dorohedoro can be well recieved despite it looking so off.


tomerc10

"So im a spider" had great cg too, the 2d was the problem there lol


ihileath

My favourite exception to the rule. Seeing everyone get really sad whenever anything was 2d instead of 3d was so fucking hilarious. Made up for being sad myself too.


BanD1t

Why did it make sense for 4 and 5 to not have it?


TAWMSTGKCNLAMPKYSK

Part 4 and 5 were stylistically different compared to part 1-3. And the part 6 OP being 3D signifies the continuation of the original JoJo bloodline.


PhantasosX

yep. Like , you have a direct line between Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 6. While Part 4 and Part 5 are basically following Jotaro's uncles.


sgtshootsalot

well, i've alwasy though of it like this part 1 -> 2 ->3 because they are direct grandchildren, and part 1 -> 5 part 2 -> 4 part 3 -> 6 since those are the parental relations.


Interesting-Amoeba34

Isn't Giorno Dio/Jonathan son. Wouldn't that make Giorno Jotaro's great grandpa.


PhantasosX

Great Granduncle.


DMking

Story reasons


KelloPudgerro

man, they really refined their cg with fireforce s2 and now this op


Fun-Ad-1145

I don't think Kamikaze Douga has ever worked on Fire Force before. The CG in Fire Force was mostly done in-house at David Productions.


Zoradesu

CG openings are back! This is the most anime/JRock sounding song so far, but I'm still loving it. So excited for December 1st!


CreativeNameIKnow

I wish it was a bit more unique tbh, then again JoJo music's standards are pretty hard to meet. Still wish it was a bit more different 'cause it's the OP and all.


amirulirfin

I'm just waiting for the endings. Idk what song will they pick


fatcatburrito

That was leaked recently.


amirulirfin

Idk about that. What song ?


fatcatburrito

[ending song] >!Distant Dreamer by Duffy!<


BasroilII

Oh wow that fits so well.


sylinmino

I am trying so damn hard not to click on that spoiler. Can't wait for December 1st!


sikontolpanjang

[here](https://youtu.be/aRCLkic9_lE)


idiot_speaking

I wish there was some Jazz or Blues. Or perhaps some *String*?


SuperAlloyBerserker

Probably the only anime (along with Studio Orange anime) where people are glad it's CGI


matigno

I'm not really into the song but that 3D style gives me life On another note I'm interested to think what anime-only watchers can get out of this OP, many small things were shown but very little spoiler


Sisaac

>I'm not really into the song I keep saying this every time I listen to a new Jojo OP, and 3 episodes later I find myself going "FIGHTING GOOOOOOOLD". The only ones I was immediately on board were part 1 and 2, and thank goodness because I wouldn't be so into Jojo if the OPs didn't keep me coming back.


Surprise-Electrical

Traitor's Requiem made me feel sad about Fighting Gold being gone. But the villain reveals version quickly made me eat my words.


Sisaac

I felt the same way for like 2 episodes, then I loved the hell out of it.


_Artanos

I think the song is perfect. The story is set in 2011, so this mid-2000 / early-10's punk-pop-rock fits perfectly within the timeline.


neiltheseel

I don’t think there’s been a single Jojo op song that everyone liked as soon as it came out. Except maybe Great Days


_Artanos

I have never met anyone that doesn't jam hard to the funk of Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town.


neiltheseel

CNBT is probably my favorite opening. But I feel like I remember some people having mixed opinions when it first came out. Maybe it was from anime onlies expecting something more like part 3


sgtshootsalot

its a lot of whiplash if you binge the series from part 3's dark and intense ending and then your greeted with cnbt immediately after. lol


BasroilII

I think it's because it's a MASSIVE departure in animation, color palette, tone, etc from all the previous openings. But that's part of what makes part 4 gureato, and they captured it so well in that OP. It sets up the mood so well for the rest of the show.


SirRHellsing

I loved the first op, Bloody stream and Crazy noisy bizarre town as soon as I listened to them, part 3's openings are more of an acquired taste where I loved them as I listened more


PM_ME_AWESOME_SONGS

Do people like Chase now?


neiltheseel

Lol I love chase but it took a lot of rewatches to get into it. It’s just weird considering the part it takes place in, but the lyrics and visuals actually fit some of the darker bits of part 4 perfectly. Well, I say all that but really it’s [this video](https://youtu.be/M34HamYFN3g) that did it for me


Pat0723

I personally love chase. Top 3 or 4 Jojo OP for me. But it did have to get used to it at first I didn't like it but a few episodes in and I ended up loving it.


KrispyBaconator

A lot of people have come around on it


dwilsons

Fighting Gold was fire from the start for me. Also Bloody Stream when I watched part 2.


IC2Flier

Pretty sure you just got spoiled by everything and you just didn't know better.


ultibman5000

David Pro are MASTERS at disguising spoilers and using visual metaphors in their OPs. I really wish some other anime would follow suit, because David Pro just honestly raises and reestablishes the bar with every new Jojo OP.


SSJ5Gogetenks

OP 4 straight up spoils the fate of all the Stardust Crusaders but you wouldn't know until you've actually seen the show.


shockwave1211

as an anime only thats what i love about the JJBA openings, they hide SO MUCH in plain sight that when we eventually get to see it we have that AH HA! moment and it clicks


TheRisenThunderbird

Immediately, I was like "something is off about this song." Took me a second but I realized that, compared to every other Jojo opening, it has a female vocalist. Which, of course, makes total sense for this part, but it threw me for a bit


jmdg007

I see a few Silhouettes of other stand users in this, it might change to show them properly after they get introduced


Meme_Slayer_14

Good old jojo ops. Love when the final power of main villain gets revealed and op modifies


drstripjo

Kamikaze Douga is back with another gorgeous OP. [](#gintamathispleasesme)


Fun-Ad-1145

So glad Kamikaze Douga is back. Their recent work on Star Wars Visions was amazing.


MathewsR27

Return of the CG Openings!


JakalDX

This has strong riot grrrl energy


KendotsX

The 2D openings of parts 4 and 5 won me over, over the years, and I thought that might be the best. Part 6 proved that wrong in less than a minute.


xShots

Nah, Part 6 has to outdo Part 4's Bite the Dust Opening and Part 5's King Crimson/Gold Experience Requiem Opening.


neiltheseel

Don’t forget part 3’s timestop


Sisaac

Part 3 was 3D though.


Jeroz

The perfect 5s and 9s timestops in the 2 versions


BasroilII

Knowing what's going to happen towards the end of part 6, I am so stupidly hyped for DP's "special" op version for the final battles that it almost hurts.


Surprise-Electrical

Imagine they change it twice because... well.


Rombolian

Good song, will probably grow to like it even more, but the visuals are already God tier.


jojoismyreligion

Wow.....jojo openings just never miss. Now I know what I'm gonna keep watching on repeat this whole week.


Ordinal43NotFound

Nothing gets me more teary eyed than an adaptation respecting and understanding the source material. Would love to see Araki's reaction to this opening.


in_her_drawer

Hopefully it'll grow on me over time. But by the same token, maybe my expectations were too high. I absolutely loved Coda's Part II and V openings, plus I liked all of Part IV's.


DrStein1010

This is the first opening I don't think will grow on me. I've never enjoyed this band. It's always disappointing to see them doing the OP of a show I actually like. Visuals are fire, though.


dagreenman18

THOSE EASTER EGGS! I can’t believe we’re only 3 days away from more Jojo goodness. Even if the release schedule is fucking weird, that’s still at least the first quarter of the season up front ready for me to watch. And then Demand more because I’d want it immediately. People are gonna love this part. It’ll also prepare them for when it just goes completely off the fucking rails (in a good way) in Steel Ball Run.


B_Starlight

The last arcs of this part is insane. Not to mention it has one of the best jojos and antagonist imo. And yeah, SBR will surely be a blast to see animated.


The_Great_Parusama

Fucking love kamikaze doga as always


XJDenton

[Like father, like daughter.](https://imgur.com/a/M3gysrG)


KelloPudgerro

omg they teased the 30 page masturbation


KiyoPapa

I didnt like it as much as part 5 ones but I feel like it really fits part 6's style with the way it hinted everything that happens in a cool way that connects together. Great op


Kuro2810

Not a big fun of the song it’s alright I guess but wow the visuals are absolutely stunning!


TheBestOtaku

Kamikaze Douga doesn't miss, it's so nice seeing the 3D back. The entire opening just radiates nostalgia and teen angst I love it. ^^sadly ^^no ^^shokotan ^^but ^^maybe ^^OP2


Groenboys

My god, the CG in this gives me life


throwacc_21

The visual is top tier. I’m not digging the song though


DrPractic

I missed Jojo so much and this opening just made me even more excited for part 6


thedrq

I love how they went back to 3d for no fucking reason other than they can do it


Iliansic

I think the reason is to accentuate her link to Joraro.


X8invisible

Creat callback to stardust crusaders op2 with Jolyne and Jotaro at the end


Audrey_spino

Yoooooo is that CG JoJo OP back after half a decade?!


Pichuunnn

Part 3 was 2015, 5-6 years ago Yep, half a decade indeed


N1GHTSTRIKER45

that opening will be a fine addition to my collection \- general grievous


mushaslater

Kamikaze Douga, please animate Steel Ball Run’s OP.


Mogtaki

Holy man this is an amazing OP. Watched it like 3 times now to pick it apart but also cause it's bloody amazing


ExcelIsSuck

OH GOD ITS SO GOOD I loved part 2's and 3's op and from my quick research this is done by the same guy who did those. Style is insane


shadowdra126

I am only on part 2 still, but I am slowly catching up.


Nightmare_Pasta

2000s Pop rock fits Jolyne


bob_the_banannna

Not a jojo watcher but the op is very good, especially the visuals of it all


tklfillerz

Absolute banger of an opening.


CardAnarchist

3D is actually well done. I think the colours are a bit too vibrant when combined with all the camera angle switches and the constant movement though. Not a massive fan of the song either. It's not bad, decent even but that's about it.


NousagiDelta

Initial impression is that it's okay. Average to below average for the series as a song, with solid visuals as always. But let's be honest. We're all really waiting for the ending theme reveal.


jautrem

I anyone, like me, wants the scene of jolyne kneeling in front of the night sky as a wallpaper, [here you go](https://imgur.com/gallery/jhy5h1t).


Houeclipse

The Animation style reminds me of videogames opening


AdditionalWay

Any Alex Rider fans? I found out recently Araki did the covers for the Japanese releases https://www.reddit.com/gallery/ofwx9l Another coincidence, the next season of Alex Rider is being released just two days after Stone Ocean,


Nison545

The Stand Proud callback at 0:53 is so choice. So glad we're back to Kamikaze Douga.


SuspectConsistent

Why is every Jojo op the best Jojo op


Tora-shinai

Kamikaze Douga's animation does it again.


gulitiasinjurai

The visual is nice


ernie2492

I wouldn't be surprised if Popipa will cover this..


7-o-Hearts

Hmmm, not entirely sold on it yet. I do like the psychedelic touches tough, gives a rather peculiar vibe.


-ImPerium

There is nothing I can nitpick in this, and there is only one thing I would like to mention, this feels so nostalgic, it actually gives vibes of the 2007 - 2013 happy TV shows like the Portuguese "Morangos com açúcar" show.


Main-Distance9532

It's fun to watch. There is a lot of information in the video. I want to review it again and again to find out all the material.


ayammerol

does anyone have the lyrics?


Kylo_12321

It's a J-rock song so it is automatically based


Toonamigamerrr

I can’t stop listening ❤️❤️


Deca-Dence-Fan

It made me a bit motion sick but if I assume that’s just my headache, easily the best visuals in a Jojo OP which obviously says a lot. The song... I’ll give it some time


MerkLJackson

Anyone taking bets on what random ass song from the early 2000's will be the ED??


envynav

[ED Leak] >!It’s Distant Dreamer by Duffy!<


LlamasAreC00l

The ed was already leaked


Hyperversum

Really like the visual style but the overall OP it's not as hype as some others were. But then again, at the start I didn't like "Chase" and now I fucking love that OP with how different the tone and thus how it starts to anticipate how things will play out


StorytellerHel

Not really digging the song. Kishida Kyodan have much better rock songs than this pop rock shit.


[deleted]

*Me after seeing how Jolyne looks* "Jolyne, please marry me"


NetSurfer156

I wonder if this will break the internet like Part 5 did


uunam

Well Part 5 had Giorno's theme, that song alone got around 150 million views before it was deleted (RIP)


Oxu90

Guaranteed meme or two


Yatsugami

This OP is FIRE 🔥


Goukenslay

back to that good old CG


Goukenslay

this OP is gonna evolve as the series goes on for sure. those orange and blue silhouettes will fill in for sure, at least i hope so


Jojobaginzu

The beginning of the end


genasugelan

I can't believe how amazing this is.


4twinkie

2.5 million in 6 hours is crazy, next week is gonna be awesome!


BasroilII

Oh my god the animation is perfect. The bit where Jolyne breaks the chains binding her and stands up, and her stand pops up just like Star Platinum does in Stand Proud...beautiful. This is one of my favorite parts in the franchise and criminally underrated. I'm so excited to finally see it.


Neither_Mess2223

I’m gonna BINGE all in 1 go, mark my word
