Buying kebab "How-to" was fun but unnecessary.
Enyaba threw a fit, but with a good reason too.
Dio has no mercy for anyone.
Damn, they just can't seem to catch a break.
Dan of Steel sure has an interesting stand.
Try to kill him and you'd take a few times greater damage too.
That's just messed up, but also very practical.
Jojo was practically boiling with anger.
It's cool that they could make their stands small too.
Not a bad idea; fighting from inside.
Can't wait to see how it plays out!

Episode 16:
Good episode. I find Steely Dan's voice to be quite fitting for his character and personality. His Stand (The Lovers) is actually quite dangerous despite him stating it's the "weakest", at least in terms of raw power.
RIP Enya. As much as I disliked her and what she's done, she does bring in some memorable moments.

I love the charming "evil grandma" from recent episodes. It might be crazy, but I have moe feelings towards her -- this is how sick the anime is.
OVERALL: as I always wrote, JoJo project is absolutely ridiculous, but in a way that absolutely AM-M-MAZING. I have watched nearly half thousand anime titles to this day -- this is not much comparing to true anime lovers who went beyond thousands, but still -- and I can boldly claim that JoJo is one of the best things that has happened to an anime.
In terms of cruelty and sick fantasy on magic/superpowers it reminds me Ninja Scroll (though the latter is not as crazy in other aspects).
I always feel tired of boring regular fire, wind, water et cetera powers, and consider great imagination on matter of magic as a true art.

Episode 17:
Great episode. I like how Steely Dan was playing mind games with Jotaro but he was ultimately defeated by a barrage of ORA ORA ORA ORA. How long was that anyways? I think it was one of the longest barrage of attacks I've seen in the series.
That last scene was also priceless as well. Jotaro and his style always makes my day.

The brain fight!
That sure was a new setting for the usual thing.
Still, it was nice to watch the chibi stands fight.
The annoying bug had a few tricks up its sleeve.
Jojo was bottling up his anger quite efficiently.
Pummeling time was awesome!

Following these shows on TV over here, I always end up behind you guys (the "Hunter x Hunter" Chimera ant arc only ended last night for me, thanks to postponements for every major sports event of the last few years).
Only seen part I of "The Lovers" so far, but it was a fun episode. I liked Joseph's little callback to his first bizarre adventure; the whole situation is horrible and hilarious all at once. Jotaro is growing on me now, though I still can't help thinking of Joseph as the star. I dunno, Doctor Who fans often talk about which one is "their" Doctor, so I guess "my" Jojo is going to be Joseph. He's just a really fun character. Loved his negotiating for kebab at the start, too.
BTW: Ever since reading Mike Toole's column on Jojo, I've been needing to get this out of my system:
You know that last image in the current closing sequence?
You think they're walking off into the sunset...but it's really me, DIO!!
Thank you, I feel much better now.

Episode 18:
The comedy was done beautifully this episode especially with the laughs and Joseph's constant exaggeration. The Stand User was silly though but the fighting scenes were well done imo
And damn, that PV is intense! I can't wait to see what will come next.

Enjoying in luxury in some Arabic country.
It sure was nice for a change.
Joestar sure came prepared for the desert, or so he thought LOL
Guess they can have any peace even in the middle of the desert.
Another interesting stand made an appearance.
They sure got a nice sweat going.
Damn, that was pretty unexpected.
I totally expected to see more.
Oh well, better luck next time, I guess.

All of JoJo [II]s outbusts in English are hilarious. Won't transfer at all to a dub.

This time we got an "OH SHIT!!!" and "SON OF A BITCH!!!" to go with the usual "OH NOOOO!!!" and "OH GOD!!!".

Tbh, the Death 13 Stand reminds me of Freddy Krueger. I like his voice though as it felts his malevolent personality perfectly

Kakyoin's bad dream was kinda scary.
Looks like his dream was not just a dream after all.
How low.. to use a baby as a killer.
Polnareff was taking that dream too lightly at first.
Dream killer, not bad.
Round & round we go with the plot..
Guess this will end next time.
At least they are a bit closer to Egypt now.

Oh c'mon, how hard would it be to just say, "Hey guys, check this out! What do you think it means?" instead of hiding it. :/
Clearly they still have learned nothing from Avdol's death about not fighting alone, never mind all they've been through since.
Not that I believe Avdol is dead, even if manga readers know otherwise and laugh at my stubbornness.

Episode 20:
Polnareff's hair was amusing this episode. I think he deserves a reward or something for that. Overall, a pretty cleverly executed episode. I also like how Kakyoin was able to use his Stand against Death 13. I think he deserves some major props for that.
Good episode overall. GG Baby Stand.
