“Love the podcast! I listen to What a Beautiful Podcast and I just found you guys a few weeks ago. I’m up to beginning of Battle in Egypt and I love the dynamic that you guys have. Having an experienced Jojo nerd and an enthusiastic newbie is a dynamic I haven’t seen in any other jojo podcast and I think it’s fantastic, it really captures that magic of watching something for the first time.
I’ve got a recommendation next time y’all do a “read translations of an OP aloud”: look up lyrics to English covers instead of literal translations. Because they have to rhyme, the translations for those are usually much more poetic and, from what I’ve heard so far, capture the feel of a piece even better than literal translations. A fan translation of Great Days, for example, has great lines like
“This city thrives on courage from the brave”
And “Let the joy of love give you an answer/ with a determination that even farewell cannot break”
And a Bloody Stream cover has lines that I absolutely love (and also make more sense than what you read off) like:
“May love guide your way through every last endless trial/ always tempt your fate with luck and a smile”
“Watch out for danger left and right, it’s just like dancing in the dark/you slip through like a knife and find your way right to the heart”
Anyways I love the show and hope you guys keep going forever. Can’t wait for that part 5 podcast!”
