| Super_Boom said: Jojo in Shokugeki...wow. I think my AOTS is already decided. The new Jojo OP is...not what I was expecting. It's not bad...but I hold Jojo OPs to a much higher standard after the last five openings. This one feels very standard in comparison...like something I'd see in Naruto. Nowhere near as great as Stand Proud or End of the World. Speaking of Jojo yet again...the flashback sequence was kind of interesting. I wonder if the manga was as blatant about Josuke being saved by himself, or if that mystery pompadour was supposed to be a secret. *looks at Shadow* Started watching Orange and 91 Days. Have a few more shows on my list that I want to try, but I've been distracted by other things lately. Still been working on a few other shows...I'm almost done with Dagashi Kashi. I've been getting a little bored of it; the food gags are hilarious, but when it tries to do anything else...I find myself daydreaming. I'll still finish it, but it's not something I'll remember long after it's over. I'd have enjoyed it more if the dad got more screen-time, or less fang-girl focus. I don't really care about shipping in this...just would prefer more of the funny characters. |
To answer your question, yes the manga does make it pretty obvious that it was Josuke that saved himself. Araki was planning to do something with that, but eventually just dropped it halfway through Part 4. However, I think that he might do something with this in Part 8, but that might just be me overthinking things.
As for the OP, I can understand that it may not have the same impact as the previous ones, but the amount of references and foreshadowing from the very first second to the last one is amazing and shows how much love David Production puts into this series. It really sets up the tone shift that this Part is about to have soon. Just like each Part is different, so to should the OPs be to highlight that moment in a Jojo's life. The first OP for Josuke was really fun and just about him living his life like usual and here you can tell that things are gonna head south real fast in a chase(hehe). I think while the Part continues, you'll start to like it more like the other Jojo OPs.
