がんばルビ!

I have no idea if anyone here is actually following the manga. Especially since it has been going into backstory since the Shogun's Assassination arc. Hell, the last chapter just revealed why Sakamoto is the only of the Joui 4 to not weld a sword now.

I haven't but I assume the manga has entered its final phases, sad as that may be.

I've been following it, I just don't talk about it here much because it's mostly anime talk and it seems like there's a lot of new people getting into it just now.

I would follow the manga more if the only group scanlating it didn't have such terrible, terrible prose.

How many volumes of the Gintama manga were released in English by the way? It might be nice to add a few of them to my bookshelf.

That got me looking at the volumes too, and lol, "When being chased by angry ghosts you only need to run faster than Shinpachi" is the best chapter title.

e: Oh wait, it's not a chapter. It's Gintoki's advice.

i'm at about episode 40 something right now, only a few episodes left in the first year's worth of episodes. my impressions so far:

it's good. there are extremely funny moments, and moments that are extremely good for other reasons. i love all three of the odd-jobs crew, and most of the side characters too. I want to see more of that guy who runs the fleet of trading ships, he seems good. I like that the whole show stays at pretty much the same status quo the entire time, but it still feels like the characters have progressed somehow. Those are my thoughts.

Haruka Tomatsu is really, really good at playing lovable yet obnoxious characters:

Gintoki and Ginko. :3:

According to Sugita, when they met to record parts for SamFlam, Kana Hanazawa had warned him to not annoy Tomatsu with his "lovely trivia". Next time they met, they both teased her for being an Edokko/Tokyoite.
