I take it you don't want my autograph, then.


Shogun Assassination Arc's beginning in December. Yes, this December.

RIP the love potion arc and the idol arc :smith:

No I'm not ready I'm not ready.

I'm okay with losing the love potion arc because ew Gintsuki but still not ready for the laughter to end and be replaced by my unending tears.

Man you can tell in the B part of today's episode that they are desperately trying to save money for the shogun rear end arc with all the cgi and still shots.

I'm a few episodes into the thorny arc and holy crap is it ever good. As a whole I've been finding the arcs in the second series to be much better than the ones in the first. The Four Devas arc is my favourite and I loved Samurai Heart as an ED for it. Even the stand alone episodes are much better in the second series. Also the jump to widescreen is nice.

In short: Gintama is good and I love it.

Samurai Heart is a very good ED. Most of the OP/ED songs in the second series are really good, it's like another step up in quality even though there were good ones in the first series.

It was thought up by forums poster Dilbert as gently caress so :iiam:

I kinda want to change it to "Nothing like high-quality anime such as Haikyu!!", but maybe that's too specific a one-liner.

I also thought about "Back to staring at a static background" or "Any adult who'd associate with this anime can't be a decent person".

Sorry, I meant "Gintama" itself. I think it was in episode 8 or so they say the manga writer wanted to hear it said by a bunch of middle school girls... but why?

because it's a pun on the word for testicles, and hearing/making girls (or anybody tbh) say that is a funny idea

Thanks! I have a feeling a whole lot of jokes/references are just flying way over my head with this. Well, I'll stick it out until the end of that first arc ya'll were talking about.

Also if you separate "gin" and "tama" it's literally "silver balls." Even though it's supposed to be the cool shounen title of "Silver Soul," but this anime is p. quick to make a ton of jokes concerning the title.

When in doubt it's probably a joke about dicks and/or balls

To be more specific, the title literally are the kanji for silver soul (銀魂), which sounds pretty close to (but different enough) to kintama (金玉, golden balls).
