DUWANGLES and an Interview with Hirohiko Araki
Well, now that the Phantom Blood anime is out nice and subbed, JoJo’s fandom can wake up into full swing. And it has in a glorious way. You’ll remember that we talked about the awesome translation of JoJo’s Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable? The wonderful DUWANG translations?
One of the more reasonable lines
Some wonderful individual has decided to sub at least the first episode of JoJo’s the Animation in this style. It is glorious.

I can only hope that this is a continuing trend and that we get a full set of “The Strange Journey of Joey JOjo.”
On top of that, Something Awful used Factor_VIII made me aware of this cool interview Hirohiko Araki did just before the Bandai Phantom Blood game came out.

It’s really is cool to get into Hirohiko Araki’s head and see how he takes his own work both as he makes it and looking back on his old stuff. Especially because is art has changed so drastically over the years and volumes but also just the way the stories work now as opposed to back when JoJo’s started. It’s a great interview, and not just because you get to see Araki try to do JoJo’s poses. Give it a look.
For a more time appropriate interview, here’s an interview of Hirohiko Araki about the, at the time, upcoming JoJo’s Anime conducted by Shoko Nakagawa cosplaying as Jotaro Kujo. Yes.

Part 2
There is a thrid part, but it doesn’t seem to have been put out yet. Hopefully we can get this adorable interview to you soon.
