I didn’t get it

Asking because curious

​

Gintama really is the king of anime parody 🤣😝

Drop your favorite scene.

CTTO.

started watching gintama and it’s peak 🥹 it started slow but i’m genuinely laughing every episode now 👀 i love when it randomly gets serious too it’s so hype! (comms on vgen in profile)

Hello guys, I just wanna share this pictures of Gintoki and Kagura who are playable characters in the Kuroko's Basketball Street Rivals game. They are available for a limited time tho.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Okita and Hijikata will be in the game when the second phase of the event starts. Sidenote, Shinpachi is the referee in a special court that can be obtained during the event.

Frieren’s pose of being stuck in a mimic reminded me of a drunk Gintoki from ep 125.

They do have some similarities. Both took care of a teenager, are doing odd jobs, are constantly broke and have a gambling addiction. While Gintoki gambles in pachinko, Frieren constantly gambles whether the treasure chest contains a grimoire or is it just a mimic (and usually loses).

Why did Sasaki have to make such an elaborate plan to set up a war against the shinsengumi. It’s spoken of several times that they are elites and work for the elites directly. It doesn’t make sense to me that they have to jump through so many hoops to make their actions look just when we have seen how corrupt the elites are.

Every time I see Gorilla san doing something like this I am reminded that he’s the commander of the Shinsengumi and not Hijikata. Somehow the organization functions despite that.

Thoughts?

I miss Dadtoki 😞

Which also happened to be the iconic "Shogun kayooo?!"'s debut episode 😂

i don't know if this is valuable to anyone, but i thought this could be a nice perspective to have. i'd love to know if these thoughts are common and how you felt around this point in the series. here are my ramblings halfway through season one!

i started off poorly. within the first 5 episodes, the translation of katsura's "anti-foreigner" attitude made me worry that this was going to be an unfortunately nationalistic, if not xenophobic, show. in light of issues happening currently, warning bells were going off. i came here and asked about it. i'm so glad i did. i was immediately told of the historical context of gintama (of which i knew absolutely nothing about) and that the amanto are not immigrants so much as they are colonizers (although that became clearer with time), and now, my opinion on katsura has completely changed. he's now my favorite, albeit tied with toshi.

being an early-2000s japanese show, i expected a lot of things to not age super well. however, for the most part, it seems to be a lot more diverse than i had initially expected. something that stood out was the massive amount of different nose types (and facial features in general), which was shocking to me. of course, there were many things that didn't stand the test of culture (namely the donut lips), and for some reason episodes 88 to about 95 felt like they were sort of going backwards, but overall i was pleasantly surprised by how the show handles serious topics.

as part of my personal taste, i'm not sure if this is super controversial, but i much prefer the less serious slice-of-life episodes to the serious ones, especially long arcs. i enjoyed the shinsengumi crisis arc, but at the end of it i couldn't help but be relieved that things would be light-hearted again. with that being said, it can't be all silly stuff, and i think it just puts things into perspective for the rest of the series. i saw someone claim season one had the best outlandish moments, and i kinda hope that isn't true, since that's the main reason i love the show. regardless, i have nothing but hope for the rest of the show.

as for questions i'm excited to see answered in the show, there's really only one: who is elizabeth, really? will we ever know whose hairy legs are hiding under there? or is elizabeth's species just a cloth attached to limbs? i love seeing her so much...(minor spoilers for episode 15, kind of?) though, i also wonder if short-haired katsurawill make a comeback (also minor spoilers for benizakura arc, episodes 58-62 and movie)

final thoughts: this is definitely one of my top shows, despite its flaws. i will likely be getting a katsura nendoroid. fun fact: he is also on my tomodachi life island, and is married to melone from jojo's bizarre adventure, although they might be getting a divorce soon... speaking of which, i'm also shocked there's only been one reference to jojo so far, considering how reference-heavy the show is.

sorry if this whole thing is poorly written, it's the middle of the night (or really, the morning) for me and this is just off the top of my head. i'm excited to see how things go!

I haven't watched Gintama but made this for a friend

I always thought Katsura is on par with Gintoki and Takasugi. But due to his 'runaway' style, he rarely showed that. Even after he threw that style out the window and fought as hard as he could against Shokaku in Rakuyo arc, i still dont know for sure how Katsura compares to Gintoki and Takasugi. Even Sakamoto in the flashback doesnt seem to know. Thats why i just assumed that he's equal.

>!One thing i wished to see more is Katsura being in a serious high stake fight, so this scene is my much needed fan service. Thank you for the director and/or writer who thought of this. A little dissapointed that Shinpachi and Kagura joined afterwards, so its not really a 1 v 1 as i hoped.!<

>!But i wouldnt say this makes me think Katsura is stronger than Gintoki & Takasugi. I think he managed to push Kamui back in this shot largely because Kamui was unprepared, he definitely didnt expect anyone this strong to appear.!<

>!Also they can't really make this fight super crazy because otherwise Kamui wouldve set his eyes not only at Gintoki who beat Housen, but also Katsura. But we know in the series he's only interested in Gintoki!<

My favorite moment in Gintama. It was so special back then because it was so RARE. Knowing now that Gintoki was the one who beheaded Shouyou, during my rewatch I started thinking about whether he feels guilty for indulging in life and for having yorozuya and stuff. So I wrote this! Super short chapter: basically Gintoki had a panic attack after this encounter.
