dub Kira of course can't live up to the original but I think he does pretty goddamn good, even though he has to say "Deadly Queen" and as far as I can tell they don't do "Bites the Dust" at all and it's instead just "bomb type 3"
No he says “Bites The Dust” thoughout that last arc. “Bomb Type 3” is used wherever he’d say “daisan no bakudan” or “third bomb”.

Part 8 finds applications for the Bombkitty that aren't murder and it rules
he was a surgeon! he sends Sheer Heart Attack into someone's veins to clear up blood clots!
also used bomb type 1 to selectively destroy tumors in a person’s brain, right?
But generally, having the ability to destroy any physical thing with no debris or fallout has lots of practical and non-murdery applications. It’s just that Part 4’s villain didn’t care to use it for anything but murder.
My sheer surface understanding of Jojo Bizarre Adventure has ruined me!
The villains in Jojo are often just as fashionable if not moreso than the heroes of Jojo. People in Jojo are glamorous, whether they are monstrous murderous psychopaths like Kira or good guys like Avdol; they are meant for you to find them awesome to look at, and their visual portrayal is part of the portrayal of their vanity or their power or their personality! Kira is neurotic and vain but entirely aware that he is attractive and knows how to make himself be attractive, and that he is a serial killer that is frightening! Dio is vain and arrogant and image-obsessed, and everybody except the Jojos can't help fall over themselves at how beautiful he is! etc.
I am still like embarrassingly amped at the match cuts on the YEAH YEAH YEAH at the end, every single time
I was somewhat indifferent to the Golden Wind OP, but as an opening animation it became way more awesome once it introduced King Crimson, and then it became TOTALLY AWESOME once it reached the third version.
Golden Wind definitely has a case of the anime age tho.
Giorno is 15? Um, okay.
Most of Bruno's gang are teenagers? I guess, stands even the playing field a lot, and we've seen babies with stands.
Bruno's a respected Capo and clearly exerts a parental role over the group, so he's probably something like... twenty. Uh...
Oh, Abbachio! A jaded ex-cop, screwed up by socieity and must have spent a long time wandering the streets before Bruno found him, he's gotta be at least... twenty one?!
Anime age, you see, where if you don't get a Joseph License you're hopeless once you reach your mid twenties.
You're not wrong, and I think ironically Jonathan is the only Jojo we actually see reach their 20s while it's their adventure. But at least being build like a brick shithouse was an established family trait. And it was balanced out by other Crusaders being older. It just feels weird that nobody is that old in the gang, especially when they're characterised as having been around the block a few times.

Araki has stated his early artstyle was kind of exaggerate. The characters probably look more age ( and height) appropriate in his modern style
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

guys I had the most magical dream
I discovered I had a Stand, which functioned only to grab me and throw me into the air and then catch me in mid air and throw me back down at the bad guys for Stand-powered dropkicks
I wish I knew what its name was
edit: my Stand OC (lol I'm a dork) is called Comfortably Numb and it's a ghost nurse with syringe fingers that'll sedate the heck out of ya

Which, yes, meant that Kira wanted the heroes to stop Kira.
dub Kira of course can't live up to the original but I think he does pretty goddamn good, even though he has to say "Deadly Queen" and as far as I can tell they don't do "Bites the Dust" at all and it's instead just "bomb type 3"
Kira absolutely says it when he is trying to activate it in the end
Got milkshake ducked by anime.
*We regret to inform you that the catman is the stand of a murderer
can't really think of an application for the Bombkitty that isn't murder
he was a surgeon! he sends Sheer Heart Attack into someone's veins to clear up blood clots!

continuing to read steel ball run and the 'real man's world' fight is what epitaph should have been used for
it's so cool
but who is Caesar
who could be Caesar...
But more importantly
