It's not a batch release? Good move.

weekly release mfs when SBR gets delayed because of production problems /s (Edit: Aged like fine wine)

but there's pros and cons on all release strategies

Not sure what the pros are for the way they released Stone Ocean.

Paced discussions for one. At least it keeps the hype for the later episodes. The big issue with Stone Ocean is David Productions's B team animated it. It's still good. It's just it's worse compared to other JoJo parts.

Perfect perfect perfect, I loved every second of it.

I adored the pacing for this episode! Plus they really nailed the commentary of an old timey horse race and I was so immersed in the events of the race even thought I read most of the manga.

Absolute great start to the season I look forward to new episodes.

Already airing?! I need to catch up with the second half part 6 💀

Wow, that was really well drawn and directed!

The soundtrack was great too!

I haven't read the source manga, but the use of what has to be the selection of frames from it was great!
