| "Have you dreamed about another cafe member?" , posted Sun 11 Jan 20:23:
For another strange thread (and maybe finally make some contribution to off topic things and escape a little of my constant lurker status, he-he) there it is : "Have you ever dreamed about seeing or about being with another cafe member?" (not the "dream" of meeting someone from here, but if you actually dreamed about this someone and woke up scratching the back of your head)
My story involves Iggy (yeah, I didn't ever had the chance to exchange words with him). I've dreamed about going to his home(?) seeing him playing blue stinger, and then he asked WTH I was doing there, invading his house and so on... Then I said about not having the chance to buy and bring any gifts, but I would give him enough money to buy 3 rare~extra rare games of pc-engine, neogeo or some more obscure system of his taste(?!?!)... Then he just said ok and started playing some asuka ?!?% + melty blood mix type game... And then I woke up. Well, as every dream, I did not understood anything.
(edit : corrected some typos, and made a little more readable... Come on, I'd just woken up, jumped to my chair and started typing :P)

quote: Funny that someone starts a topic like this now. Iggy showed up in one of my dreams a few nights ago as well. I had recently gotten blond strips dyed into my hair. Iggy complimented the dye job, but when I told him that I got it dyed that way because of Hiroto from Go-Onger, he refused to talk to me anymore. After chiding me for watching Go-Onger, he then left to meet a friend at Astroworld (a local theme park which closed down a few years ago).
A few other cafe members have made "dream cameos" in the past, but seeing that I don't know what most of you look like, I'm sure they weren't "accurate representations". I know a long time ago a number of people posted pictures of themselves, but all I remember is that there were way more beards than I expected.
Funny you mention astroworld! The mmcafe kinda gave me the representation of this quiet bar I go on westheimer once in a blue moon. While I haven't made any dreams images of anyone specific here from the cafe, other than knowing what gekiganger looks like, pretty much everyone had a blank face with their specific name tag on.
The only part was when I wanted to order a piece of food that is underneath our avatars, they came out just like the image instead of an actual piece of food. Then I woke up.
This song is so true

At first I was thinking of making a quick explanation on how I don't dream (I mostly don't), but to be honest sometimes I have these marvelous, vivd dreams where I Chew people's insides, or get myself chewed (it was still pleasurable. (Maou, you are next, 嘸♥♥♥))
I think the most serious dream I had about the cafe was that it was not a webpage, but a huge colossal & pretty stale room, where everyone was sitting on chairs or on the floor sipping some Torres (Torres > France, any day ), time was spent either talking or screaming funny things to each other until the mail man woke me up.

SBR has many, many problems, and Araki, despite his everlasting youth, is really starting to ramble like an old man (and even worse, a Japanese christian one), but it has one definite quality : it is better than Stone Ocean in every possible way, the art, the plot twists, the characters, the variety. Still, only core fans of the 3, 4 and 5 part should care. Araki is one of the best mangaka of the 90s, and he continues to deliver, but he remains a mangaka from the 90s. Nothing new here.

Wow, we really know how to get off topic here.
I'm several volumes behind on SBR, but knowing that it's wrapping up has given me motivation to pick up the rest. Book Off was my friend for getting caught up on the Glass Mask, so I wonder if it will be my SBR buddy, too.
Still, I'm sorry to hear that it falls apart a bit. I didn't dislike Stone Ocean, but when I started reading SBR, it reminded me what got me into JoJo in the first place (don't ask me what that is...hahaha).
Also, that reminds me of a story. Araki showed up without notice at Anime Expo for like...2 hours in 2003. He was drawing pictures of Jotaro on shikishi if you had one. A few of my friends pestered with him GioGio character requests (he had to remember what the characters looked like). I asked him to draw Charlotte. It took a very long time for him to realize who Charlotte was, and when he did, the picture he drew was terrible. I put it in a gaudy golden frame and it's sitting on my desk.

quote: Charlotte is from Stone Ocean and there's probably a good reason why you don't remember her/it.
The...... crocodile puppet !? You are insane.
Stone ocean had so many problems I don't know where to begin. The art became more and more lazy, sometimes with barely any backgrounds for pages and pages (the fight against Jumping Jack Flash, for example); the references became really obvious (Jojo has always been a Grand Theft manga, but Memento and Magnolia were ripped off in an insulting fashion); some fights and powers didn't make any sense (Annasui was the worst, but F.F. suddenly becoming sniper without any explanation and losing her plankton status was dumb, and let's not get started with Pucci's); and worst of all, some fights could have ended in a satisfying fashion, but instead choose a unsatisfying and dumb conclusion (Kenzo, Heavy Weather...). Well, all of Heavy Weather was really, really terrible. I think that's the worst pages of the 95 volumes. Oh, and Araki's amnesia was at its worst, and he didn't even care enough to hide it: Annasui, Earth Wind&Fire... Annasui or the lawyer's abrupt design changes were both funny and sad.
Let's not forget that the whole scenario was incredibly stupid and never made any sense. Jôtarô was totally wasted, Jolyne had several opportunities to become a great hero (I think she was much better than Giorno as a main character) but failed miserably, Dio's sudden Anne-Rice-around-the-world retcon was ewwwwww, and the green baby, and Emporio, and the christian madness which still runs through SBR, and the ant, and, and, and...
SBR lacks epic fights, interesting characters and designs, a potent supervision, and will probably end as poorly as Gold Experience, but at least it's better than Stone Ocean.
kofoguz: no, the Memento character was Miumiu, and her stand was Jail house Rock (lock). To off topic the off-topicness, that reminds me I must sometimes ask you a bunch of questions about Turkey and the turkish language. Let's make a note about it.

Is the answer I can only remember 3 things, no?
quote: I still have some good memories of Stone Ocean (Weather Report becoming a villain...Annasui and the goats...), but on the whole, I thought the ending was too epic for its own good, Foo died way too early and Annasui got too boring. Also, I felt like Hermes outlived her purpose way early and just stuck around for no good reason for most of the series.
About the ending, like I said there was whole lot of things to discover in that universe and he destroyed it. I cant really say how things work out in SBR universe but I can say its a big waste to end that universe in part 6.
Also Foo is the character that my dislike turn into love quickly.

I'll be glad to help.
Also I would like to ask about Part V, abandon of Fugo, I kinda like it but when I think about the thought of "his stand is useless for story so lets get rid of him" makes me dislike that twist. Care to explain what you think.

quote: Purple Haze would beat all the main villains in Jojo, I think, since none of them really have any way to avoid a killer virus.I suppose Kira could come back in time before the infection, and Diabolo make so that the infection didn't happen... It all depends if it's the Araki from 10 years ago or the Araki from now who writes it.
Did you think anything of those random post mortum Kira's one shots where he was a ghost buster for the nether realm? Most of those Kusabe stuff was pretty tasty as well
For the record I have been following most of Araki's stuff since a lot of years ago... But suddently, some years ago, I stopped at Stone Ocean (At the time I realized that I needed something like +1 hour, to read 20 pages of a japanese raw, and that was mostly uriiiiii sounds scattered through the pages). Perhaps I'll pic it up now, that I take less to read a raw, or that is on english

Now that the Stone Ocean english scanlation project is finished, I just don't understand all this JoJo 6 hate (neither that overwhelming GioGio love). I found it very entertaining and much better than part 5 overall (the whole "Dio's son becomes the Godfather" and all that cheap mafia stuff bored me to death). Some of the main characters are interesting (Jolyne is my favorite JoJo since Joseph Joestar) and not so underdeveloped as many people say. Plus, the ending is both bold and resolutive (it's like JoJo 1 ending on steroids!!); it 'd have been the perfect finish for this decades-spanning series IMO...
I think the problem resides in people, always expecting a perfectly devised blooper-proof plot, and this is not the way Araki works anymore (if it ever was). As a Shirow Masamune fan, I learnt to overlook all these minor narrative faults for enjoyment's sake, and I think that's why I liked Stone Ocean so much: caring for the details isn't such a good thing if you are an Araki fan...
