episode 1 is out
--------------------
Did the art get even cheaper? Itīs one thing to go for a certain style, but the simple coloring and lack of animation is really cheapening the overall impression. I cannot remember the beginning of this series to be that bad.
The episodeīs contents were fine, though. I love the casual depiction of a villain who murders and rapes and has fun all the while. You donīt usually get to see it that clearly, only subtly hinting at such stuff. But here we got at least two scenes where heīs raping, and one post-rape victim in the present story. Thatīs fresh.
Obviously, we need to find out the limitations of Josukeīs ability. Surely, there has to be some sort of time limit, otherwise he could bring back the dead. I guess itīll be something like 5 minutes at most, where he can return injuries to intact properties.
Two major points of criticism:
1.) WTF is going on with Jotaroīs hat?! It looks like itīs half-fused into his hair. PLEASE let there be a logical explanation for that. Please. God, it looks so dumb.
2.) It might be nice and advantageous strategically speaking, but no matter if you return that ladyīs stomach back to normal, SHE WILL HAVE FELT THE PAIN! Fucking lol. Skewering her body with full force, that gotta hurt enough to drive you insane. Josuke migh THINK heīs a hero, but heīs actually an asshole, using his power like that. Same with the turtle, he should have saved it before it got painfully hurt. This reminds me of Ajin (Iīm at episode 8), where it also is treated way to lightly how, despite being immortal, these characters still feel the pain. It doesnīt matter if youīre healed afterwards, having all your teeth smashed by a brute drill is going to hurt you beyond your believes. And I wonder if Ajin feels less pain. Though nothing points in that direction as of now. As for Josuke, itīs not even him who feels the pain - thus making this an asshole-power.
