It would be preferable to hear a new end credit song. But that's just me. Razz

Agreed, the OPs and EDs have been a bit lacklustre this season. "Walk Like an Eqyptian" was a sick ED though for part 3.

While this is indeed my favorite saga in all JoJo, the OPs have been the weakest of the whole franchise IMO. I hope this third and final OP recaptures some of the magic of previous songs that felt a lot more vibrant and adequate.

Speak for yourself...I think the OPs and (Only ending) of Part 4 been good.

Well I think opening 1 became extremely catchy to me after a few dozen times while this current one just doesn't really click with me. I like the melody and guitar but not the singer.
The ending is perfect imo. I think we all wanted queen as ending but that's wishful thinking. Even movies like suicide squad have to pay a huge fee to be allowed to use some iconic songs. It snot always just asking the band for permission. Sometimes its dead serious negotiations.

Chase is an awesome song. The only bad thing about it is that it's so short.

I personally think ALL of the Jojo OPs and EDs have been stellar and extremely fitting for the Parts/Story Arcs they pertain to. I love how both OP/EDs have Easter Eggs to hint at character deaths, upcoming plot developments, Stand natures and so on. David Production does their homework when they produce these !

All Star isn't a Queen song and neither is Shine On You Crazy Diamond Razz

Well he did say in his opinion, but personally I for one never got the appeal of Sono Chi no Sadame and Sono Chi no Kioku they're alright songs but they're at the lower end of the totem pole of good Jojo openings.

Yes, I've liked them much more than Stardust Crusader's OP/EDs. I didn't care for "Walk Like an Egyptian", but that's mostly because I think it is very cheesy and I don't much care for cheesy 80s music at all. The ED from the first series, Yes's Roundabout beats all ED's, though.

I've liked all of Part 4's OPs and the one ED. Aside from the electronic remix of the original OP. That was very boring.

A kinda off-topic here, but now that crunchyroll & Funimation have entered a partnership, does that mean we'll be able to see JoJo on Funimation now?

I'm honestly slightly terrified on how the last cour is going to play out. Unless we're getting another cour later on, we're only roughly half way through the manga, maybe slightly over, but there is a lot of content to fill up the remaining 15 episodes.
And I get the feeling they're going to have to cut a few arcs out... (especially since the last couple of arcs will take a couple of episodes each at least.)

No, Viz has dub rights to Jojo (and they already have it also simulcasting with a delay on their website). Plus it will be airing on Toonami starting next month.

They have confirmed that it's 39 episodes in total but maybe they realized that they have miscalculated this a bit and need more than that? Because I always see people saying that they are going to be fine with the pacing while I myself have had my doubts from the start

Could it be that Great days is a nod to Josuke's "gureato daze"?

The latest episode had a few easter eggs which confirmed that they'll be doing [spoiler] the "Enigma Boy" I am an Alien" and "Highway Star" chapters. That's not even counting the sihlouttes of the 1st OP.

This!

A second verse for Chase would have been nice, even if done a bit differently like with Air Master's opening song.
