奇妙萌可 第二季

看JOJO的漫画还是初中的时候，现在想来是10年前了 = =....
我漫画就是从第三部开始看的，也就是《星尘斗士》这里开始。那时候就被JOJO的紧凑精巧剧情抓得很紧，经常在上课的时候一低头就是一节课，还被老师没收过一本...
说正题...

想了想还是改成倒序了 =。=

停更，准备养肥了再杀了，实在是不够看，都看成泡面番了。

Ep.07-08
太懒了我...再次两集合一起 = =
力，各种裸女...不过我觉得最值得吐槽的还是CV里的“山口胜平”...新一你怎么了新一！L！犬夜叉！乌索普！......
看来只要发动替身使者进行战斗的时候整个画面的色调就会变过来。
恶魔，看来动画还是隐去了很多不合适的内容，以避免过于血腥。
90年代的很多常识和判断现在已经显得有些突兀了。
还有为什么总是在出事的时候聊啊聊不做任何动作......哎，从漫画转成动画的过程中稍微改编下也许会更好些。

 
Ep.05-06
上周五一，看了没写 = =...两集并一起吧
波纳尼夫出现了！实话说战车是我最喜欢的几个替身使者之一，因为战斗的方式很优雅，不像某口头禅是“婆娘”的兄贵总是噢啦噢啦噢啦的...
波纳尼夫的声优选的和想象中的差不多，够骚，偶尔又有点2的感觉。
不过波纳尼夫的头发好像比漫画里短了一点。
据说Ep05已经成了姿势大全集了？...

感觉空条的傲娇属性越来越明显了...总是一脸“好烦啊别来烦我”的表情面对所有人，对方真正危险的时候却又总是第一个伸出援手。咦我为什么想到了总裁文的“嘴上说着不要，身体却很诚实"....（脑洞

话说，依旧非主角和主角的差距很大啊，看看那些船员的面部线条，再看看船长...
偷渡小姑娘的声优居然是钉宫！真是惊喜~

话说他们还真是不能乘坐什么交通工具啊...坐什么什么出事......
下一集好像该安尤老太婆正式登场了吧！


Ep.04
看了B站的一个视频，是考据OP中各个画面在漫画中的出处的，有兴趣的可以看看，推荐

哎发现个奇怪的地方啊，每次替身使者对战的时候，画面颜色就变了，Ep.02里承太郎和花京院打的时候就是，这次打灰塔又是（注意一下法皇之绿的和阿布德尔项链的颜色变化）。不知道这是动画制作的刻意为之还是什么？
下一集是银战车了！

Ep.03
上周写的时候忘了提OP，画质好赞！而且很燃啊！！最后部分噢啦噢啦噢啦！！
场景画的很细致啊，不过这集贺莉摔倒的时候阿布德尔也不去喊人然后就自己在那碎碎念这样合适么......漫画是写文字时间感不强，动画也这样处理虽然忠于原著，但这种大段独白就显得不是太合适了...
这集的情节有点平，亮点不多，其实跟上集放在一起也不是不行，当然为了留肉芽那个扣子的话这么处理也就还说得过去。
最后预告里波纳尼夫也出现了，下一集飞机上出事我没记错的话替身叫“灰塔”。具体能力是什么反倒记不起来了....
回顾了一下漫画，不回顾想不起来当时把阿布德尔翻译成“鸭都劳”...应该是典型的港译了，每本前面的预告还有各种“祖祖”....祖纳桑...祖罗夫....真是太坑了....

Ep.02
主角配角的人设差距....尤其是体现在肌肉线条不强的女性上...这集开头体现得淋漓尽致.....
承太郎这造型哪里有一点高中生的样子....
远征队第4人出现！花！京！院！
不过法皇之绿在动画化之后还真是有一点触手的感觉...那时候还不知道触手是什么...呵呵，年轻啊....
小野大辅的声音让我在看到后半段空条爆发的时候有了一种平和岛静雄的即视感......
这就噢啦噢啦噢啦了啊！！真么早！！那后面打倒吊男和黄色节制的时候要怎么办！！！那画面...不敢想象....
14.4.13


Ep.01
终于到了我最喜欢的部分！这是我当时的第一感觉（看去年的动画都快急死了），看见空条出现的时候整个人都噢啦噢啦了（那句“婆娘”真是让人爽爆），不过乔瑟夫的声线感觉有点夸张，我印象中丫一直是以智慧型（因为替身太弱吗！）的形象出现的。臆想中会是个低沉稳重的声音....没想到是个暴躁老爷爷......
穆罕默德那黑人形象，日本式的英文口音....好强的违和感....
人设依旧夸张，夸张在于主角和非主角的差距...
而且我还真是第一次知道第三部的JOJO是来自于空条（KUJO）的JO和承太郎（JOTAROU）JO的组合.........

14.4.5

Stardust Crusaders (2014) is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure : the Animation (2012)'s sequel. But if you think about it seriously, there are a thousand things that are different between the two seasons, and which make undoubtedly SEASON 1 > SEASON 2. To some extent, you could speak of a DIFFERENT anime.
I took a quick look on the reviews of other websites a moment ago : senscritique (barely), anidb (clearly) & anime news network (surely) all agree with me on which season is better, only douban doesn't and that can be explained easily : the community of douban does not understand SHIT to anime. All hail anidb !

Since I consider Jojo's Bizarre Adventure the Animation (2012 = season 1) as the best shounen anime of all time, this review is mostly going to be a comparison between the two, a comparison between the Master and the student.

Characters : Stardust Crusaders' has the worst Jojo so far. His look is definitely GAR, but the "R" in here is getting too much closer to an "Y". The chain on his neck, the hat on his head and that stupid cape make his design far less enjoyable than the two first ones.
Personality wise, he is an empty shell, and this hurts even more since they had 24 episodes to develop him, whereas they had far less for the two previous Jojo's who had to share out the 24 episodes.
When the two first Jojo's had a few first episodes to lay down some background (usually without much fights or as an appetizer) and stories in order to introduce the protagonists, their values & skills (honesty & raw force for the first, naughtiness & smartness for the second), this one only gets the bare minumum. The end result is that there will be no empathy for the character during the whole show. This 3rd Jojo's has almost no dialogue lines : he looks cold, avoids to talk, does the job (i.e. the killing) when necessary and contains all his emotions. The "Yare yare" (Good grief) that he keeps on repeating in every circumstance is DEFINITELY not cool...
This goes to the extent that we might at some point doubt who is the main character... since this one does not get so much attention when the stories unfolds, & the creator focuses more on the other characters. This is also a big difference with the first season, in which one Jojo's is the boss & the others are only there in a support (Zeppeli the teacher) / secondary (Zeppeli the descendant) / commentary (Speedwagon) role and usually end up dying or beat up.
In Stardust Crusaders, there are actually TWO Jojo's simultaneously. One plays the role of the Dark Powerful Silent Protagonist and the second of the Experienced Funny Talkative "secondary" character. + 3 other characters that actually get a lot of attention and a bit of development (especially Polnareff) : Avdol (the Wise & Temperate guy) whose Stand skills are Power & Fire, Kakyoin (Common Sense & Stabilising member of the group) whose Stand skills are Flexibility & Variety, Polnareff (the Silly & Funny guy with whom the viewer will often adopt the subjective point of view : i.e. Avdol's death) and whose Stand skills are Precision & Velocity. Of course the characters are created so that there is an Equilibrium & Complementarity in the group, and so that no one is powerful enough for overtaking the Protagonist's role. Classicaly, who will face the new bad guy depends on the powers that they each have, and on how powerful is the enemy. Sometimes they will face altogether some enemies which is pretty cool in terms of interaction and symbiosis.

Development (structure & fights) : Far less epic than Stardust Crusaders for many reasons. One of them is that there are too many enemies (representing for some weird reasons a card in the Tarot game, which is not adding anything to the show - except perhaps selling the fucking cards later ?). On average, each new enemy has a two-episodes span life, including half an episode of silly jokes and progress in the map, a cool or stealth entrance, the fight lasting 1 episode with a couple of predictable twists and then a conclusion with everyone being happy and teaching the bad guy a good lesson. It's almost a pokemon-like structure... The worst is that Dio never appears in any fight... He is far away "waiting" for the characters in the darkness, raping bitches and looking strong & cool with the Jojo's family star on his back. This again reminds a lot of the old european cartoons of the 90's, in which the main antagonist keeps sending small fries without moving his ass, while he's posing and showing his best evil laughter. The show is structured in a way that we know at each episode that the bad guy is going to get his ass kicked and that a new one is coming next and so on... If the characters were not road tripping from Japan to Egypt and if we didn't know that opponents are limited in number (Dio will necessarily run out of those FUCKING Tarot cards), the anime would have been simply BORING. Hopefully the road trip enables to see different settings and is helping for building the jokes (toilets in India, 讨价还价 in Arab countries, rigorous rules in Singapore etc...). It goes without saying that the MYSTERY of season 1 (related to the Mask, to the ancient cultures evil forces etc.) is completely absent. In the first season, the stakes were generally much higher : badass & super dangerous enemies (including Dio and the mask's embodiments) with some depth & backstory would show up and give a real hard time for the protagonists (causing heavy injuries, deaths and big emotional fuss). In Stardust Crusaders, everything is too easy and taken lightly. Except once, all superficial injuries disappear at the end of the fight and, opponents come one by one and end up begging for their lives without any dignity.
And that leads us to one of the main points of this review : if you think about it in another way, one could argue that Jojo's is less of a shounen with serious fights than a funny comedy with loads of gag (adding the traveling adventure aspect, and it starts having a couple of common points with One Piece). This is not necessarily a critique, since the show is REALLY super funny, but mechanically less Epic and thrilling.

Other aspects : Aesthetically speaking, IMHO the first season's added effects were clearly better and engaging. They would for important moments, freeze the picture for a "cool phase" and add layers of colors and geometric forms all around in order to emphasize a situation and making it classy, usually during fights. This technique has sadly almost been abandoned in this anime... I thought it was brilliant in the first season. In the same spirit, moments when the colors of a given setting would start to beautifully distort and change are also less common in the sequel. The sceneries depicted were also more elaborate and beautiful in the latter.
Otherwise the animation of this sequel is really well-made, even though the artistic value is a bit inferior to the predecessor.
The music (including OP and especially the masterpiece song for the ending) is not as good as season 1 but still fits what's happening in the screen overall. The references to the rock n' roll & heavy metal world are also very rare compared to the first season, since the creators focused their references into general knowledge (geography, cultural aspects and bit of history) while describing the place where the characters stopped during their road trip.

Wish they do a sequel with more epicness, and with DIO !!!!!!! for God's sake.

2013年不论对于日本本土还是国内来说，都是一个JOJO大年。6月末，TV动画第1期圆满完结，老读者回坑、新观众入坑，让内地的JOJO热度燃烧到了一个顶点。同时PS3平台游戏《JOJO的奇妙冒险All Star Battle》（以下简称《ASB》）从年初就开启了一次成功的营销，截至当年9月，总共发出了8弹制作优良的PV，让动画观众窥见了JOJO宏大世界观的一斑。

2013年夏，有热心读者在内地破天荒地举办了第一届JOJO ONLY同人展会，厚积薄发的作品魅力，让来自全国各地的读者与观众把会场挤爆了。旋即，8月中旬又传来了《ASB》获得游戏媒体《FAMI通》的40分满分评价，使得大众对于第三部动画化的呼声更加高涨了。但是官方也是很沉得住气，在猜测质疑声中一直坚持到12月底才丢出了第一个概念PV。在闪亮的光效下，白金之星打碎玻璃墙，露出《JOJO的奇妙冒险 星尘十字军》的大标题。这一回，才是真正的所有人都沸腾了！

<图片2>
全系列的灵魂主人公——空条承太郎的声优由《ASB》配音的小野大辅继续担当。但官方宣布会重新试音甄选出TV版的其他声优。这是第三部TV版带给观众的第一个担忧。由于花京院典明的《ASB》版声优游佐浩二演技优秀，深得人心，在宣布正式人选的时候也引发了不小的争议。同样的问题也出现在第四部TV版的“换声优”情况上。TV动画与主机游戏有着步调迥异的宣传、制作和市场节奏，在以TV为正统基础上，按照固定档期播出的节目势必需要考虑到更多实际问题。好在不论是游戏版还是TV版，主役成员每次都能给大家交出一份近乎完美的答卷。

2014年初，官方陆续给出了全新的人设与主要角色专属的数个PV。包括全新风格的人设和声优问题，都让系列读者与观众争论不休。第2期TV版的staff几乎是原班人马，监督仍然是津田尚克，但是人设则换成了在第1期动画中有着惊艳表现的小美野雅彦来担当。小美野雅彦的杰作就是第1期第8话“血战！JOJO & DIO”和第20话“西撒孤独的青春”。尤其是20话被称作神回，想必不用我再描述，那激烈张狂又悲怆动人的画面已经自动浮现在大家眼前了吧！

<图片3>
<图片4>
新的人设相较第1期来讲，更加强调贴近原作画风，采用了更粗、更柔软的线条。但是荒木老师在原作中的笔触有很多地方繁复又写意，商业动画实在没办法满足这样的信息量，第三部TV版画风采取的是一些基本要素的高度概括。这样减少了一些作画压力，却给人留下了一些刻板的印象——比如说人物夸张的垫肩成了“车轮肩”、脸上必有两道“荒木线”。这些要素在漫画中是随机应变的，况且荒木本人的画风都在随时转变，同一部前期和后期的风格都会有很大差别。翻开漫画你就会发现，到第四部就很少有“荒木线”了。然而前阵子第四部TV版公开人设的时候，一样有观众大声质问“脸上的线到哪里去了？”。将同一部固定在一个风格，确实是难为了动画制作组，制作周期和生产力不等人，也不可能满足所有人，势必会产生取舍。笔者想说的是——画风不变才更可怕——除非你想看第三部TV画风来画第五部。

<图片5>
其中最让作画部门头疼的恐怕就是花京院的刘海了。原作中可以飞向任何一个方向的刘海在动画中只能选择固定在右侧。这导致很多镜头强行右侧刘海的花京院根本“不像花京院”。乃至于有少数镜头又只能把他的刘海画在左侧。这也是TV版的一个未解之谜了吧！

<图片6>
尽管经历了类似“要删改剧情”的谣言，但是如期播出的动画扫除了一切疑虑——不会删除任何替身的剧情、会完整地走完这趟旅途。而实际上关于本片是否为年番也有过一番争论，最终在前半部分的最终话才宣布后半部分“埃及篇”将稍事休息三个月后在2015年1月播出。

第三部TV版的地位在全系列中可谓是举足轻重，因此staff可以说是拼了命地在将原作高度还原。相比第1期动画来讲，作画更强调还原名场景，而音乐也换成了菅野祐悟。第1话中强烈的“大片感”和史诗配乐与第1期的粗劣感已经不可同日而语。画面的精良简直难以置信。

然而第三部是一部公路片，阅读漫画与观看动画的步调很难统一，这导致前期某些话数过于紧张或过于舒缓，并且关键场景上的呈现方式十分“规矩”，让作品的观感留在了“真好看，但是有些束手束脚”的印象上。更不要提一定会有观众拿出相同剧情与OVA的流畅作画来对比的。

前期的另一个问题可能是由于作曲工作并没有完全到位，导致配乐单调并且出现了混乱的情况。比如说花京院的专属BGM「高潔なる教皇」被多次滥用，甚至在“恶魔”一话中，波鲁那雷夫的胜利场景也用上了，让人匪夷所思。音响监督岩浪美和在每一部JOJO上都有着这样那样的负面评价，这也是希望在第四部能够有所改善的地方。

<图片8>
伴随着动画制作的渐入佳境，旅途的后半程不仅有伊奇的加入，还有着更加精彩纷呈的打斗，在“埃及篇”中总算是放开了。不知不觉中，我们就伴随着承太郎一行走遍了世界，来到了埃及。坚守了2期的子安武人使用了不同于游戏的演技，呈现了一个浪到不行的DIO。不论如何，在这场冒险的最后迎接我们的总是“漫长的旅途，再见了挚友”。曾经想也不敢想的TV版就这么向完结走去。

<图片9>
作为一部近年也比较少见的4季度深夜动画，整体质量时有起伏，但是闪光点从不间断。前半值得一提的话数有第8话“恶魔”，精彩的作画与剪辑让这一话的B级恐怖片气质与众不同；第10~11话“皇帝与倒吊男”可谓是掀起了前半程的大高潮；第18话“太阳”，对原作极短的篇幅进行了实验性的扩充，充满了狂气的一话。后半整体质量都非常高，每一话都相当精彩，在这之中最为出彩的是波鲁那雷夫对阵瓦尼拉·艾斯的死斗，以及花京院的法皇结界一幕。尤其是这段剧情的构成不同于漫画叙述顺序，设计了一个巧妙的倒叙，将观众的情绪牢牢地掌控住了。
