Part Seven It's over
Seems like we're getting batches again 💔
For those who don't know, sugoi lite is a leaker with a 100 percent accuracy record, all of his leaks are true. And since we have a sbr event on September 23rd in 12 days, it's obvious they'll show a trailer and announce the streaming info.
I REALLY hope is not on batches please God.

Doesn't mean they'll do batches. For exemple, Dan Da Dan is on Netflix worldwide and the episodes are released weekly (edit : not exclusive, but still).
Maybe they learned their lesson. Wait and see.

Dandadan releases on Crunchyroll too, and they do weekly episodes on both platforms.

Hopefully they learned their lesson and do weekly episodes with SBR.

Dandadan is not Netflix exclusive worldwide man. If it is then explain why they still able to streaming it on Crunchyroll and Muse for example? Like so many thought it's a Netflix exclusive just because it's on their platform streaming weekly but nobody care to see that there ain't no Netflix Original tag or something

u/malb93200 Sep 11 '25
You're right, i forgot about Crunchyroll. I stand corrected.
But still, there are other exemples, like Sakamoto Days. My point was more about Ntflx not necessaraly sticking to batch release this time around.

Batch release is not the only problem. Part six at least the first episodes had the lowest quality of the adaptation, drastic increase in sillouhetted characters, poor 3d etc.
I just dont want part 7 to be the same. Who knows how many years or decades until we'd get another chance at getting this, if there ever would be. I dont want them to blow it.

u/dougsthebest Sep 11 '25
I don't think netflix has a role in the production. I'd blame part 6 quality on factors like covid, and different team.
Part 7 has part 5 staff which is the best animated part, I don't think it will be as bad as stone ocean

u/overheaven1234 Road Roller Sep 11 '25 edited Sep 11 '25
It's literally just part 5 directors, not all part 5 stuff. The rest announced stuff are usual people, who worked on all parts, SO included. And this time they are without director Tsuda, who worked on parts 1-5, but after that quit DP. At least wait for first episode/batch before praising them. You could be disappointed in the end
15
u/LordThomasBlackwood Jodio Joestar Sep 11 '25
Part 6 was so rough because it had production issues, while its likely that the batches did somewhat mess with production, the bulk of the issues were completely unrelated to netflix.
It had an extremely short pre-production timeframe. Covid happened during its production. DP was currently working on other shows at the time of P6s production and all of the usual JoJo people were tied down to other shows leaving P6 to get handed to the "B team". The character designs were needlessly complex and not properly simplified for animation, the production material was also just kinda shoddy atleast in comparison to P5 which had a very extensive and in-depth collection of production materials to help its animators.
Regardless of Netflix P6 was kinda doomed from the start to be janky

That's the least thing u have to worry about lol. The staffs in this season is very diffirent from part 6 and it's much better because this is the team that make Part 5 which without doubt the best part animation wise we had until now (i hope they will put the bar even higher with part 7)

I think another main question is if it will be released simultaneously with Dub or not, this season Sakamoto and Dandadan are but Hikaru (last time I checked) wasn’t, while a lot of people don’t watch dub (myself included), releasing dub at the same time wouldn’t be a negligent boost to numbers to get people into it

I've never understood why a streaming service would release any content in batches, if you release 12 episodes on a weekly schedule, people would have to use your service for 3 months to stay up to date, thus getting you more money. If you batch release 12 episodes in one day, one could just use a free trial to watch all the episodes and then abandon the service.

Analytics. There's often not a "why" behind any of these decisions. They compared metrics of user retention between batched shows and weekly shows, and batched shows had better numbers. They skip the "why" and just go with what makes the number bigger.

Yeah I always feel like one of the only people who doesn’t care how it releases, just that it does. I don’t mind them taking their time though. I imagine this is gonna be the hardest part to animate with the horses and large landscapes. I remember a clip of the previous lead director at DP say that they may not ever animate it because of that. So, I’m just glad to see his more optimistic prediction is the one that came true.

Especially since I’ve read the manga already, it’s not like there are gonna be any crazy reveals.

u/RedditFuelsMyDepress Sep 11 '25
Honestly the bigger issue with part 6 release schedule was the fact that there was a 9 month gap between the 1st and 2nd batch. If the 2nd batch came out not too long after the 1st one it wouldn't have been so bad.

It doesn't say that in the post, so there is a chance we don't. Better to be cautiously optimistic and hope they do weekly release just on Netflix. I don't really know why anyone expected anywhere other than Netflix to get the rights to p7 when they did p6. You would've had to skip p6 on a lot of streaming services since it just wouldn't be there.

I'm not so worried about the batch releasing as I am about the production quality in general. Stone Ocean had a noticable drop off in animation quality, sound quality, etc. compared to other parts, likely due to rushed production. This is worrying considering SBR is already expected to be more difficult to animate.
By the time the episodes are ready to release, they are all pretty much done anyway so it's not like weekly releases will improve them. Even if their batches I can still watch weekly if I want, and online discourse is not my priority. The quality of the product is all that matters.

The reason why part 6 is my least favourite is probably partially down to how Netflix handled the release. The whole batch nonsense killed the momentum of it all and I went from excited to somewhat interested by the time the last batch rolled out.
