Gintama
Lets see... REALLY bad jokes and crazy sociopathic people. I say you must find time to watch it.
I have yet to write this... because I am lazy or something
I have yet to write this... because I am lazy or something
Pretend for a moment that the world is uhh shall we say visited by Aliens towards the end of the Samurai era. You know that time before the US told Japan to open its borders or else. Anyway, aliens have... well lets be honest taken over the earth. What with their guns and flying machines and what not. In this day and age there is nothing but strife for the now dead samurai.
Enter in Gintoki, who has started his own company that just does whatever jobs need to be done. For example, lets say you lost your cat they can help you. A great business too, seeing how shocked they are to get customers on more than one day of the week. Gin and his crew now must uhh do all the crappy jobs no one else wants to.. because... well I don't know why to be honest.
Season 1 Episode 28
Wat That Intentional
So I know having a running gag is part of this series. I can understand and applicate that. However, there is a time when it is too much. Take the Shinsengumi police chief. He took the whole assassin thing WAY To far. To the point of where it was no longer funny. As much as I enjoy a good ongoing gag. You have to keep it fresh. You cannot just let it rot out there.
Then again, I guess that if you are not a main character you do not get to have freshness. I think that maybe I am supposed to hate all the secondary characters. I mean none of them make sense. All of them act like idiots, psychopaths or both... usually the both. Then all of their gags start to get old. Eh whatever, at least Ayame is tolerable and cute. Even if her being blind is getting REALLY old.
Season 1 Episode 13
The Cosplays
This is kind of funny and random. You see plenty of random cosplays. Though it was kind of interesting seeing a Harlock cosplay. Then again I guess this is a gag anime so what is funnier than cosplaying in an anime?
Season 1 Episode 14
The Best Police Ever
You know if I could confirm that being a police officer was as amoral and crazy as these guys make it seem, I would join up immediately. You know running around ignoring my superiors. Sleeping on the job, blowing up stuff, getting paid to do... well nothing after. After all, I have not seen a group of people do so little.
Season 1 Episode 19
The Shirts of Anime
I need those shirts. I would wear a shirt that says "Beach Samurai". We all know that would be AWESOME. Too bad all the really cool shirts are never made into real life. That is one of my favorite things about anime, that has fallen to the wayside.
We all know the shirts with random English words on them. I think the best ones were the ones that generally say "Yes" or "Cool" stuff like that. It was not just the fact that the shirts say random words. It is the fact that the words are so very animated. You know what with the colors and the size and having no context or anything like that. That makes them awesome.
Season 1 Episode 16
The Many Meanings of DORK
I have come to appreciate that about this anime. They come up with complete random crap. In this case it is the acronyms that the word DORK can spell. Then again it is funnier in Japanese because you can mess with the characters to make them say whatever you want. I mean DORKC is not that cool to be honest.
Though this episode does make a good point. Too much of the world is based on looks. I mean the poor old guy looked way cooler with his sunglasses on. It is kind of funny the stuff that will get you fired. You would think that in a world with aliens dropping one customer to take a human to the hospital would not be frowned upon. Then again punching someone out your back window is costly.
Season 1 Episode 18
I Still Don't Understand Panty Fetishes
This is one thing that weirds me out. Why would you want to just have panties? Call me weird but I prefer the panties be on the girl. Really when you think about it panties are kind of boring when they are not on girls. Yet so many men decide to steal panties of themselves. Though I did kind of like how the authors made Otakus all look pathetic in this episode. I mean I cannot decide what was worse. The guy custom painting his figures or the guy in the maids cafe. I mean they made the guy in the maids cafe look really pathetic. Then again if the girl had not been so cute she would have looked pretty obnoxious too.
Season 1 Episode 21
Adventures For Something Simple
You know that deep down all of us yearn of adventure. Adventure that comes from a simple errand. Like Gin and his fan. All he wanted was a fan to keep himself cool. However, the simple task of getting a fan leads to a plot to destroy the world. All he wants is his fan. His passion to get the fan will lead him to save the world.
We all know that would be awesome. To go on an adventure just to get something simple. Our only ambition being to get something simple. However, in the process we some how save the world. At the press conference people will ask us what motivated us to save the world. Then we will reply "I just wanted the fan". Then we will laugh because we all know how hilarious it really is.
Season 1 Episode 1
FLAMING TOWER OF DOG DOODY
It just had to be a giant dog? Not a giant cat? Granted I think that a cat might be a bit to dignified to actually let a person ride on their back, but still. I like cats better. Then again, if I had a giant dog that let me ride around on its back and randomly chewed on heads. I guess I could get behind having something like that. Then again, I like not being poor.
You would think that a pet that size would be the first to go. Given how desperately the company is struggling. You would think that an animal that has to eat at as much as a.... well teenager I guess, would be something you might have to get rid of. Hmmm... oh well, at least it is cool to have. I wonder if I should make me a giant dog and ram cars with it. Oh think of the wonderful revenge you could get with that thing. After all, you need a small truck to clean up after it.... O_O FLAMING TOWER OF DOG DOODY!!!!!
Season 1 Episode 2
Alright Then
So not to be to hard on the anime. However, I am not really sure how this anime has lasted this long. Then again it is really early on so maybe I am not seeing the glorious awesomeness. Maybe I am just stuck on the obnoxious characters who seem to live on every extreme of possible personalities out there. In particular the female characters.
I wonder if there is a hidden message with the female characters... you know it says something like... "I don't like you uptight women". I mean they all seem to be the most bat shit insane characters in the anime. You take Kagura and the ninja and... well yeah you have some fucked up women soup right there. The question is which one would you go for?
