Not at home this weekend so I’ll have to postpone the Akane Banashi stream that would be starting in an hour. I’ll probably do it Wednesday instead. One Piece and Kagurabachi reactions will still be in 2 hours though 👍

I was wondering how long it would take for them to finally ditch “D.O.R.K” and just go with “Madao”. 62 episodes apparently, assuming they don’t switch back, which they love to do.

Oh, to have been born 10 years earlier and watched Gintama as it came out…

It feels kinda corny to say it, considering it’s when Gintama “gets serious” but episode 59 (and to a lesser extent, 58) really are a big step up. Great writing, direction, animation and music all around.

Sakamoto’s gotta be one of my favourite characters outside of the core cast, it’s always a riot when he shows up

Gintoki’s “yacchatta na…” has been ingrained in my brain for the last decade — so deep that I forgot where it even came from. Watching this episode felt like meeting an old friend.

Right now feels like the perfect arbitrary milestone to start counting what I consider to be the best eps of Gintama. I might have overlooked some.

The next episode of Gintama is refusing to load (I’ve tried watching on Xbox like usual, and mobile, and downloading it) and my running theory is that the title is too dang long and it’s messing with the app.

Gintama referencing Dandadan in 2007? It really was ahead of its time.

Falling way behind schedule, despite putting in crazy amount of hours into editing this month. The issue is that I based the schedule on last year’s editing, when the book was half as long and I didn’t see all my mistakes. (The boxes with 2 ticks mean 1 chapter turned into 2)

Finished watching the Umibouzu arc of Gintama today, and it’s definitely my favourite arc so far. It moved me a whole lot more than I remember it did when I watched it nearly a decade ago 🥲 Must be because I’m bald now.

I’ve got to the point of Gintama where they have translator notes for literally everything.

Okay, I see it was to tie into a joke, but there’s absolutely no reason they couldn’t just say “fan” throughout the episode and make that part of an equally nonsensical acronym instead…

In one hour, I’ll be starting my Akane Banashi manga readthrough on Twitch! In 2 hours, it’ll be time for Kagurabachi and One Piece!

It’s hilarious going from Gintama episode 16, where you can see the translator fighting for their life trying to think of twenty different things “D.O.R.K” could stand for, then you get to 17 and they just give up with [“Bakufu” means the government]. Madao broke the translator
