One thing I feel needs to be mentioned is that despite the anime having "consistent" color schemes, they still use a _lot_ of scenes where they completely upend the color scheme into someting visually striking, especially in a tense scene (which, admittedly, is 90% of Jojo). Not just in a sense of "Giorno has blue hair now" but rather "Joseph Joestar is a pulsing rainbow gradient covered in halftone". Absolutely fabulous. Still can't get over the bold artistic decision to have Morioh covered in yellow skies, lime green streets and deep purple trees for the majority of the anime.

@PunkZombie1300

I agree. I think a good part of that is in part due to the the quality if the scans, if I were reading the actual manga then I'm sure the details would be a lot clearer, but with the scans I was checking out a lot of the action scenes seemed really busy and it was hard to make out exactly what was going on. Another thing is that I'd switch between my phone and my laptop, and reading the black and white on a phone just makes the issue worse (which Hamon Beat mentioned in the video). In any case I always took the colored versions to be non-canon since most JoJo characters don't have things like canon outfit/hair colors, so it's never been an issue for me to see the anime portray characters one way while the manga portrays them another, and the random flaws in the coloring don't really bother me when I'm reading.

The good bits of the colored scans such as those really just make me appreciate Araki's drawings overall.

Part 7 might have the worst colored scans imo, mostly because of how it blurs out the hatchmarking and the backgrounds are always these soft gradient colors, which makes for the complete opposite effect intended (that being visual contrast to the action in the foreground).

You're not quite the only one. When it comes to getting into manga, especially if you're used to anime or even stuff like your average American comic books, the black and white is a bit of a pill to swallow whether it's you basically going against how in most instances we're trained to view black and white as either a sign of ye olden times or as a sign of a lack of budget and sometimes... the art can be a struggle whether you have actual diagnosed problems that impede on this or it could just be a matter of experiences varying from person-to-person. Much like how one person can view a piece of art as great and another as a piece of garbage, some people can adapt quickly to the detail and know what's going on from the get-go and others may struggle and on devices that can be tricky. I mean it's why the Jump Digital Color stuff exists because indeed when trying to read on certain devices, let me tell you, it can be HELL on the eyes trying to figure out what's going on. So really, don't feel bad for your choice, especially since the video is not about putting down those who happen to have that preference. It's just about explaining the source of the scans, the purpose they serve and the issues they have to counter the misconceptions that surround them. If you prefer it a certain way though then by all means, continue enjoying it in that manner since what matters is that you're still getting into the story and hopefully enjoying it all the same.

The only reason I read the colored manga is cuz I genuinely cannot follow any action taking place in black and white manga. Doesnt matter if its JoJo's, One Punch Man, or any other series, I just cannot read the action if its not colored. Thus I'll take a flawed colored version over a black and white version anyway

It’s funny that the Part 6 anime fixed just about every color problem you mentioned aside from Lang Wrangler. I guess they really didn’t wanna animate his exposed shoulders lol

HAMON BEAT YESS

I'm french so Jojolion release here, and I can confirm it's really cool to read it physically !

Im actually reading the physical part 4 manga in english, and I love actually being able to stop and see the detailed artwork with my own eyes rather than an image of them on a screen. Koichi confronting Kira was amazing to read physically

babe wake up new hamon beat critique dropped nice new titlecard logo thing btw

I prefer the colour because it gives the manga a bit more life. I do agree that the details in the black and white look phenomenaly better then the colour scans and I might even re read them in black and white but only if I can get physical copies cause I read all the coloured ones on my phone

i have been reading manga since i was 12, and in all this time i have never found a fandom so evasive of the original black and white version, i've read some jojo parts including the first one in black and white and never had an issue with it, but other people say araki's drawing are confusing.

fr... when Jojolion's coloured pages stopped i begrudgingly went over to the black and white. the colours are just softer for my eyes But I'm caught up to Jojolion and am used to the b&w. I'll be reading jojo over in b&w from now

The hype I always feel towards these videos... I love em so much

I was reading parts 1-7 on my phone and I can confirm that colours really helped me to see wtf was actually happening. If I had a choice I would love to read it on paper, but yeah.... The manga is kinda expensive for me- I would like to collect it in English. Recently JJBA has been started to be published in my first language, but still I would rather have it in English. Also it's funny how fans were accusing Araki of even more 'forget moments', but he had really nothing to do with this. I love color schemes in his artworks- they change and surprise me. Like for example redhead Dio- pls he looks so good.

wow I am addicted to this channel blew my mind learning about the scans, I loved the colored scans and assumed they were the official colors. never noticed the airbrush effect until now. Keep up the great work man love the content.

Colored manga for JoJo honestly works better than most colored manga, even with these problems

Bro you literally change the way I see the colors in the scans. I remember that I kinda refuse to read Jojolion too bc it was black and white but like it’s better that way rather than saturated colors that kill my eyes. Thanks for the video.

I understand the whole problem of coloring mistakes, of course clothes shouldn't be skin colored or vice versa. However, the point about it being blurry is a misunderstanding. It appears to be more blurry because of contrast, not because of bad lines or less lines. Black and white will always look clearer than colored images, since the contrast is lower in the colored ones.

@tomdekler9280

Жыл бұрын

Not entirely. The anime doesn't look blurry (albeit definitely less detailed), because they use flats for coloring instead of color gradients. Color gradients may be more realistic, but often make surfaces look softer than the linework may suggest. The color scans definitely look airbushed.

I think part of the issue is that some of the easily available BW scans, especially for Part 1, are of pretty poor quality, to the point that it’s often difficult to tell what’s actually going on because the contrast’s way too high. I restarted Part 1 in color because the BW was genuinely confusing at times, and from there I kinda just stuck with it until I caught up with Jojolion.

I always knew the colored versions were not done by Araki, many manga's are not colored by their authors and the physical copies are usually in black and white (or sometimes red) but understanding that I still prefer JoJo's in color. Just gives it a bit more funk imo.

I’ve been looking for physical copies on Amazon for a week now, you just saved me more time telling me only up to part 4

this is why i love the anime's take on colors. there is a consistent, canonical color scheme, however they frequently go pretty crazy to emphasize scenes, emotions, or any other thing. color is used as a tool, to be used however the scene demands, just like anything else

thank you very much for puttin this video together. this can sometimes be a really frustrating conversation to have, but you covered all the major points in a very clear and concise way.

Very nice video, this is very informative since not many go in depth on the colored scans beyond just going "no canon colors". I prefer color altogether though of course reading manga you get used to black and white. But I can understand your preferences

I never noticed the mistakes until just now. I really don't usually pay much attention. I read most of my JoJo as the manga form (I have read the first couple of parts in their English form physically). I decided to go online for the others (I kind of did a juggle between the original and the coloured versions), although I still do have some of the JoJolion manga and read them despite my lackluster Japanese linguistic skills.

I've always appreciated that Araki goes for what he believes is artistically correct rather than canonically correct.

Yeah I've never been a fan of the color version of Jojo, which has sadden me for some time because I always thought that they were made by Araki, but only just found out around the start of Part 8 that they're not by him at all. Now it just frustrates me, because it's very clear Araki is a master of color and design, but what's portrayed in the colored manga is nowhere near his mastery for colors. If anything, I think people should realize that Araki experiments with color schemes ALL of the time, and anyone who's a fan of his should too experiment with their palettes and be loose when making fanart. And if you don't know how too or are too timid to experiment, I recommend the book "A Dictionary of Color Combinations" by Sanzo Wada.

Color by: official Publisher Coloring quality: fan coloring That's why people confused

I prefer reading JoJo in colors because sometimes I can't understand what the hell is going on when a new stand power shows up or a weird scene is happening.

I’d like to add while sometimes it can be ‘difficult’ to follow along in B&W, trust me when I say 90% of the time, it’s simply a bad scan. Take a look at any of physical copies for the the volumes. It’s extremely clear and don’t have to worry about stuff like saturation and brightness on your phone. Plus, if you go to Barnes & Noble, you get a really cool looking book.

I remember when I first started reading I started with colored adventure purely because I wasn't used to B&W manga, plus Araki's detailed pieces just made things even harder to understand. In hindsight, I realize it was just because I was reading it on a phone, and like you pointed out, the colored pages look better on a phone. Looking at the same B&W pages either on a bigger screen or physically in your hands make it so much clearer and a genuinely better experience than the colored pages on a phone, and *infinitely* better than colored pages on anything other than a phone.

The points you made were valid, however one shouldnt bash people for enjoying the coloured manga more (OBVIOUSLY)

The black and white version looks so much sharper.

i love that jojo stuff is on my feed now, and ive actually been reading the black and manga, when its colored on a few pages i love seeing how they are colored

I like how the Anime occasionally references the Colorized Manga's palettes for some characters, like Jotaro's Alternate Part 3 Color Scheme, shown during Dio's Time Stops, and how he has the navy hair and clothes, with the magenta-esque shirt.

I bought some of the hard cover manga and holy fucking shit some of the art in it looks so fucking good in black and white
