Why does dio sound like a Spanish guy who learned Japanese

The OVA is way more terrifying since DIO’s Teleport doesn’t even make any sound

1:47 Dio teleporting around with NO SOUND EFFECTS at ALL literally gave me some chills. He is just 1 frame and gone in a matter of seconds.

one thing i absolutely love about the OVA is how the setting looks, you can actually tell the cast is in cairo where as in the anime it feels like they're in yellow new york

The silence when dio moves during his time stop is beautifully terrifying

I like how jotaro looks scared half the time in this fight like he really is fighting for his life whereas in the later version he never really strays far from the angry confident look lol

I love how terrifying the OVA’s time stop is. No bass boost or insane effects, just time stopping and no special effects which make it more realistic, not to mention the lack of noise when time stopping making Dio seemingly just teleport everywhere with darkness surrounding him is scary as hell in terms of how realistic it is

I actually really like how Star Platinum here was defending Jotaro automatically in the beginning while time was stopped. I think it makes more sense than him suddenly be able to be conscious in Stopped Time.

Imagine seeing some yoked dudes that stand at 6'5" destroying buildings and bleeding from nothing.

DIO's animation makes him look insane but his voice is like "oh and by the way i outsmarted you, that is unfortunate"

Hot take: The OVA fight was better choreographed than the 2015’s fight. While the modern adaptation had better voice acting, better SFX, and a more polished color palette, the OVA’s choreography really showed more of why Dio was a threat, and why Star Platinum (at least in Part 3) really deserved the A ranking of power in its stats.

The thing I like most about this version compared to both the manga and the anime is that Jotaro’s and Polnareff’s attacks on Dio during the heart stop sequence end up working together to lay him out, rather than Polnareff attacking to no real effect

Dio straight up murdered people while fighting Jotaro. He's way more terrifying here.

This feels like a horror movie especially when Dio starts teleporting

This really shows how terrifying Dio is and how scared jotaro was when fighting him. I wish this was in the recent one.

4:14 God, I love how this scene made in OVA. Dio is cornered, he doesn't goes nuts and starts laughing or roaring. He's just quietly waiting and uses The world with no warning. And this 4:47. There's no that weird scene, when Jotaro gets out if manhole like he went through sewers just to prank Dio. As brute as he was whole Stardast crusaders he gets in the Dio's way.

The way Dio just effortlessly erases those poor civilians on the train, with a single swipe of his hand he just rips chunks of them away… just goes to show how much more terrifying and powerful he is being a vampire AND having a stand now.

New version: ROAD ROLLER old version: *t r u c*

I feel like this version is choreographed a lot better than the modern version, there’s a lot less time spent monologuing. They focused less on being accurate to the source material and more on being faithful, translating rather than transcribing. It’s nice.

3:10 why does DIO voice sounds so relaxing

The OVA shows the horror and tension of the fight The 2015 Anime shows how epic and brutal the fight is

1:47 i never expected to be genuinely uneased by dio but this sequence of him just vanishing shows how terrifying his stand is, this scene gave me chills

1:47. I actually love the silent disappearing of DIO it really puts us in jotaros shoes

What I love most about the ova is the idea of ​​directing scenes. It is true that half of the scenes in the ova were not present in the manga, but they designed very beautiful transition scenes, unlike the 2014 anime and also 90s art style really fit with jojo's bizarre adventure series.

Everyone is talking about the animation and the oil tanker but nobody is talking about how OVA Final Dio doesn’t have any lipstick..

Good things about 1993 version: The animation, the beauty of Dio's teleportation without any sound, they showed how powerful Dio is without his stand. Good things about 2015 version: The music, the powerful voice acting, ROAD ROLLA!!!!!

The animation here is top notch, the poses, the lighting, the expressions, the effects, the shading, EVERYTHING. It's all done right.

The way his time-freeze was executed so simplistically in the OVA kind of speaks volumes about how unnerving the stand is and why Jotaro seemed anxious. No special effects, sound cues, nor any buildup. One frame he’s in and one frame after, he’s vanished. From a realistic standpoint, it’s as if he teleported

This was WAY better than I was expecting it to be. Honestly, being able to see Jotaro's POV of DIO just teleporting everywhere is really haunting and shows how much of a threat he really is in contrast to the series that lets us see him move in the stopped time.

ova was so beautifully animated, also Dio's time stop was amazingly executed

0:41 me in the toilet

7:39 this entire sequence is just so badass. It looks like they're really fighting in a city, and not on a set. You know what I'm saying?

I love how Polnareff's attack was directly useful in the OVA instead of just being a distraction to buy Jotaro some time. Dio even did the DBZ Yamcha pose after that lol

やっぱこのディオがベスト。唯一無二。ラスボス感あるし、緊張感のあるBGMが声優さんの演技を際立たせていて好き。

This is the kind of top tier animation that doesn't exist anymore

8:47 "Eat some of this truck!" *Tetris sound effect*

8:07 the star platinum voice crack

this is the video that single handedly got me into jojos years ago when phantom blood was just announced as a new anime. it was a very cold winter day and it was cloudy and i had the lights off. the atmosphere of that evening was perfect and suited the dark style of this OVA. it was perfect timing and a truly a dazzling time to see the chapters week to week.

The aesthetics is so FREAKING NICE. This is amazing stuff man

*this was animated so well it just needed better voice acting like the originals*

8:48 Dio is such a kind man. He just wanted to feed someone a truck but being trapped for so long under the sea, he didn't know they weren't edible.

0:13 Me starting up my lawn mower

oh my god that timestop effect IS SO GOOD I never thought id like the ova more than the actual anime

I prefer the new voice actors and the sound of time stopping, but silent teleporting is better for sure

When your Crunchyroll account stopped working

There is so much feeling in ova voice actors and the music is just perfect im crying rn

I don't know why.. but when I watched this video, I had goosebumps... this drawing and sound... beautiful and frightening at the same time

"The World" and "ZA WARUDO!" dont have the same impact.

The way Stands are conveyed in this version are amazing. Love the lack of music and emphasis on how it looks to bystanders. Feels like they're legitimately fighting with ghosts.

3:16 holy shit that transition, and it's made from 1993

AN ABSOLUT MASTERPIECE!

9:30 The way the world backs away in fear is something really unique that you don't see with the stands in the actual anime.

The ova feels more "realistic" in a way while the anime feels more dramatic. The lack of audio makes it so much more realistic while the anime has like a fuck tons of sound effect (bass boosted time stop, shotgun punches)

This is really good

I absolutely love basically a guy just watching might just see two guys staring at each other instantly while the world just starts braking

2:36 that smooth animation tho

Then: DA WARUDO! (Zooomm!) Now: ZA WARUDO! (PRRRRRRRZZZZ! Tic toc tic toc)

This might be better than the 2015 version (in my opinion), everyone seems more human and Dio is better portrayed as a very serious threat. The change in how everything sounds in timestop and the fact that the stands also sound human is great

This was incredible

While I love the current version, in the OVA, I really liked how both Jotaro and Dio used the environment to their advantage. They’re just throwing cars and buildings like toys and that just adds immersion into the fight because it emphasizes the power both stands have instead of in the regular anime both of them are just barraging each other repeatedly.

so the original Dio doesn't look like some angry lesbian huh

I really like that from Jotaro’s pov. Whenever DIO stops time, it just shows he randomly pops out with no black screen.

The badassness of jojo with the aesthetic of 90s anime, god tier shit

8:07 that voice crack wtf

Fun fact: you got this recommend 10 years later

たまにこれみてるけど普通に臨場感あっておもろい

I love how much motion there is and how fluid it all is

I genuinely like this fight better because it actually feels like a fight, during the 2015 battle there was lots of talking, and a lot happens in this version where there’s more people who happen to get killed and involvef

Star Platinum having a voice crack is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard

ova realy displayed how strong the two actualy were like the boat, dio tearing apart those people with one jab and the tower scene shows how intense and chaotic the fight was

I like how it portrays dio as more than just hunting jojo and co and him as a truly evil villain, killing everyone just for the thrill.

8:08 Well voice crack star plantinum

Old style anime + modern sound effect it would be aweesomee

I like how the explosion just jump cuts to Jotaro facing the screen saying "I stopped time"

1:47 got me shivering in my timber’s rn because LIKE DIO IS TELEPORTING WITH NO SOUND

The lack of music in most of this fight makes it creepy

It's interesting to think that the whole reason the Road Roller wasn't used in this version was because that attack was a reference to the 1983 Kinnikuman Anime and they worried about stepping on toes. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about; Kinnikuman's anime adaptation had the main character's outbursts in response to his partner calling him weak, useless, or cowardly cranked up to 11 and so instead of just yelling at him, he'd do something insane. In one instance, he pulls a ROAD ROLLER out of NOWHERE and promptly chases him with it before throwing it at him. It was so out of left field, and because Kinnikuman has such a massive cultural impact, Araki referenced it in the JJBA manga as DIO's final attack. However, the 1993 OVA was only 10 years out and said steam roller may have looked both campy and/or too easily recognized as having come from Kinnikuman, hence the replacement with a tanker truck in this version.

どっちもカッコよすぎだろ‼️

The animation of changing the city a ngle behind them takes so much fucking planning and work.

ZA WARUDO! *F1 car races past"

I like how in the OVA Jotaro is far more expressive than in the 2015 anime, he actually shows fear, anger, other emotions here on his face, sure in the anime he does it too but far less than here

the way dio was just teleporting around like an analog horror demon was a really nice touch, definitely a different vibe than david production’s iteration. i honestly prefer this one though, because it genuinely instilled fear, something that the series wasn’t really able to do very often.

i really like that they didn’t add any type of noise to when he teleports (I’m sorry if it’s not teleporting I’ve never seen this anime but this one scene has been stuck in my head for a month)

0:30 sounds like my grandpa tried to make a “the world” impression

DIO: **about to kill Jotaro** Polnareff: i am about to do something called a pro gamer move

1:23 Jotaro's sound, I can't 😂😂

Now even tho I still prefer the 2015 anime version of this fight (just coz it's so goddammit EPIC), but holy shit this is actually really good. There's so much tension, and the lack of music makes it feel like a horror film. And the fact that we can actually see that Jotaro's scared of Dio's ability unlike in the 2015 adaptation where Jotaro just has a serious face the entire time, that is one part that I think the OVA did better than the anime. Also, the animation is actually really freaking good. This animation is more fluid than in the anime. I think the only thing that the OVA is lacking is the voice acting. Not that it's bad or anything, and maybe I'm just biased with the voice actors in the anime. It's just that Dio's "Za Warudo" here doesn't have as much impact as Takehito Koyasu's.

7:42 That animation is so freakin' smooth!!!

How can Jotaro survive his punches but kakyoin gets shapped like a donut

1:28 almost ended a fight in a minute💀💀💀

i like how our favorite pole man actually didn’t get swept away and was actully really helpful

Something I like here is that Polnareff actually helped. He gave Jotaro an advantage while in the anime he just gets yeeted.

7:13 OMG this really is brutal

7:39 I love how they powered dio up by alot

The OVA time stop is awesome, just an expanding bubble of negative color, with what sounds like a distant muffled F1 car flying by as all other sound disappears.

The lack of backround music and noise makes this look like an IRL scenario

6:39 So thats what the original "Muda muda muda" sounds like.

The way he said “ time has stopped” Literally, DIO wanted to let us know he stopped time 💀

just the way some scenes are so quiet where you can hear the background static just makes this more scary

4:50 I like this better than Jotaro just f*cking appearing in the sewer, but him appearing in the sewer could mean he learned to stop time at that point
