Icons!

[pikabot]

Well, Stone Ocean recently finished. For those of you not in the know, Stone Ocean was part six of the amazing saga that is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. And considering the ending, and how part seven is set in an alternate timeline, Stone Ocean is most likely the final chapter in the continuity that we know and love. Therefore, considering the dearth of icons for Jojo's in general (and Stone Ocean in particular), I've decided to make some of my own.

Total Icons: 25

-If you feel the desire to modify these icons/use them as bases, feel free. Just credit me
-I am well aware that I am not a photoshop wizard. Any advice for future iconmaking is appreciated

Got here from bad_rpers_suck-- Snagging a few and will totally use #16 and #2 with credit when I have room *_*

Awesome! The world can always use more Jojo Love (why so small, English fandom? ;_;)

I seriously think it's the art style. I happen to like 'older' looking manga series, so it's awesome looking to me but I think most American manga readers like it typically big eyes/thin faces, etc. A reason I think not enough people read One Piece (although it does have a huge fanbase) Oda's odd style + hairy non-bishies.

[pikabot]

I definitely think that's a part of it. I think the daunting size and lack of real US release contributed to it. And then there's the Diamond Is Unbreakable scanlations...It's sad either way: people are really missing out.

[paperteacup.livejournal.com]

Okay-- I had honestly forgotten about the size! That is surely a big part. I know more than a few people that think FMA (at 88 chapters) is too big, they would die over JoJo.

I think I'll start pimping that sucker hard and fast, IT NEEDS FOR FANS

[pikabot]

Yeah, when I tell people that Jojo's is over 750 chapters long, they tend to seize up a little. (Although FMA's chapters are about twice as long as Jojo's, so that's more like 172 chapters if you put them on equal terms. Still nothing compared with Jojo's, though).

There's also the fact that...well...Phantom Blood does not start well. It picks up a lot once Zeppeli enters the scene, but the beginning is just straight-up boring, and Dio doesn't even start showing his Magnificent Bastard tendencies until about halfway through.

It's actually kinda awesome to be able to talk about JoJo at ALL let alone like this. It's great to see a fan of something admit the flaws in it, although I agree. And over all sometimes the plots might be taken as really WEIRD by most people, so that's a part of it.

I actually have to finish Stone Ocean after the holidays, I sort of don't WANT to finish, I'll miss it!

[pikabot]

Haha, well. They don't call it Jojo's Bizarre Adventure for nothing! JJBA is like, the king of crack, especially in part four. That's a large part of why I love it so much.

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

Well, that's not fair—jojo is ~100 volumes long, while FMA is, what, approaching 30?  Besides, FMA is monthly and JoJo was weekly, so chapter length parity could only be reasonably expected when SBR starting being released in Ultra Jump....

(On the other hand, each standalone arc is <20 volumes, which shouldn't be too daunting to anyone used to following major shounen series....)

[pikabot]

Oh yes, I'm just saying that in terms of the length of time it would take to get caught up, FMA is equivalent to 172 chapters of Jojo's.

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see now.  Yes, reading JoJo is like reading FMA "only" 5 times, not 10! XD

...I keep seeing you in the most unlikely of places what are you doing here.

I'M EVERYWHERE seriously though into a lot more series I do not fandom out about that we also have in common lolol
