gintama is kind of like futurama, in that the setting is designed so as to be able to make jokes about the widest number of subjects. gintama has samurai jokes, it has modern pop culture jokes, it has sci-fi jokes, and boy howdy does it ever have shinsengumi jokes. the shinsengumi were never particularly impressive in life, but they have become beloved, near-mythical historical figures in japan. gintama really, really likes taking the piss out of that.

the first fight made it seem as though humans are innately weaker and more fragile than gods. but then every fight that followed essentially abandoned that premise. so, lu bu was just a chump.

nerdz posted:franken fran usually goes in the surreal manga thread I think, but the new series is good it's a comedy about body horror.

hot drat, it's such a good day. someone put the final 15 chapters of birdmen up on mangadex! i'm not sure where the rest of the manga is now that it's gone from jaiminisbox, but i'm sure some scraper site grabbed it.

i think the main conflict was defused by the mutants and the rogue eves. they directed the disgust and hatred for aberrations toward themselves and eden, and then provided a threat that the birdmen were necessary to resolve. so, once that was done all that was left was for the birdmen to come together and negotiate forcefully. this was interesting because the eves were presented as being an ominous looming threat, but they really weren't. they were on the side of the birdmen all along and because they got their hands dirty the birdmen didn't have to. so the moral of the story is, terrorism and especially global bioterrorism work.

it's still a fetish manga, except the fetish is femdom instead of literal slavery. so, kind of skeevy but not outright grotesque like the slave harem poo poo.

it's fun but also ridiculous that everyone this guy meets simply shuts up and listens to his incredibly frequent and lengthy monologues.

i check in on it every so often. it's moved past the modern day arc and is now in a dystopian future based on social credit.

despite winning, he's basically out now. hanzo uses a spear, which he can't really do with one hand. some of the contestants are bullshit enough to not be fazed by that sort of thing, but hanzo's just some guy.

you need specific medicine to treat tetanus. otherwise, it's either going to kill someone or not and there's not much a doctor can do about it.
