A Gintama episode a day keeps the ending away…Episode 116

Episode Title: The Older, The Wiser

MY 12 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN EPISODE 116 (manga chaps 176 and 177):

1) Kyuu-chan is sometimes so freaking weird, it’s almost unbearably adorable. I also loved how Shinpachi was acting like a total bully towards the stupid turtle.

2) Loved everything about this scene: from how Kyuubei said Shinpachi’s name to get his attention to her pointing out the entrance to Ryugu Palace.

3) I thought this was funny at first but then the more I think about it, the more disturbing it became. I hope he didn’t try to have marital relations with that skeleton.

4) This was pretty horrific. I mean, I’m sure those boxes crushed some people when they were dropped down, not to mention everyone turning old was a pretty creepy concept. 

5) I thought Hanano still looked cute even as an old lady.

6) Omg, I laughed so hard at Kagura not understanding the concept of gumming (as she shouldn’t), but what was weird in the anime was the fact that Gin-chan still had all his teeth, as can be seen...and they were still amazingly perfect. 

7) The Queen saving the day as usual.

8) Madao’s super awkward position.

9) I wished this scene had lasted longer: it was so awesome seeing Kagura and Kyuubei kick ass. 

10) Every single fucking time I get to this scene (and the other turtle laying egg scene in the assassin episode with Madao and Gin-chan), I almost pass out from laughing. The tears always gets to me. Sorachi-sama and his weird thing with turtles crying while laying eggs will kill me one day, I’m sure of it. I’ll dying laughing, which is a plus, but yeah, pretty sure that’s how I’ll go out. 

11) I also couldn’t deal with Kyuu-chan trying to lay eggs as well.

12) At this point, I wanted Tae-chan to beat the living shit out of Otohime very much. I was looking forward to it. 

SHIPS TALLY:

Kyuubei x Otae: I was actually surprised Kyuubei even let the guards take Otae away. Normally she would probably kill them before she would let that happen.

Gintoki x Zura: I am sure this is how they are going to be when they are old farts. Even though I didn’t love seeing them in this state (cuz it made me a little sad to see them frail), I did love getting a glimpse of their future.

Shinpachi x Kyuubei: I don’t think I even thought of this ship as a possibility when I first watched this episode or read these chapters...if memory serves the idea didn’t swim into my mind until the timeskip arc.

Matsudaira x Ane: honestly I find their whole thing kinda gross because I really don’t like this side of Matsudaira (I feel bad for his wife), but I’m glad Ane is at least making a living off of him. He deserves to be milked for all he’s worth.

Disclaimer: Gintama is not only about shipping. Gintama is hilarious, clever, exciting, poignant, heart-breaking, loving, brilliant, and just completely unbelievably amazing.  It is only due to Sorachi-sama’s immense generosity that I am able enjoy Gintama on an extra another level, the shippy level, and I am forever grateful for that. GINTAMA IS LIFE AND LOVE.

Y’know, I kinda thought that Tsugumi and her brother probably played the game together, but thinking through all the dynamics and drama if they didn’t...

   Matsunae realizing his sister died, and would now play the game; and where was he in the reaper hierarchy then, support, harrier, gm, conductor...?  Did he think she could win?  

   Tsugumi’s shock at being reunited (in possibly hostile circumstances) with the brother she thought she lost forever, and how much of that influenced her decision to join the reapers, and how did matsunae feel about it?

   Their parents, who lost two children on two separate occasions, completely ignorant to the ug and mourning in the rg?

A Gintama episode a day keeps the ending away...Episode 46

MY 4 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN EPISODE 46 (manga chap 74):

1) THIS CUTENESS!!!

2) Tae-chan in brutal mode is the best.

3) The winners of the contest.

4) The total losers. 

SHIPS TALLY:

Kondou x Otae: I think Tae-chan was a little jealous that Kondou was being served by someone else.

Gintoki x Otae: he seemed sincerely interested for that second before he was violently shot down by Tae-chan.

Hasegawa x Oryou: I know Oryou was just doing it for the Dom Perignon, but it was still kinda cute.

Matsudaira x Ane: it’s gross but I guess it’s canon in a way?

Gintoki x Hasegawa: self-explanatory I think.

A Gintama chapter a day keeps the ending away...Lesson 650

SO ADORABLE!!!!!

MY 15 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN LESSON 650:

I LOVE THIS CHAPTER SO MUCH!!!!

1) I loved Kamui’s way of saving people.

2) Kamui acknowledging Gintoki as an asset was just so darn sweet.

3) ASDFGHJKL!!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I WANTED THIS AND HOW HAPPY I WAS????

4) I still can’t even deal with how fucking cute this was. Seriously, I don’t even know HOW I managed to get through this scene without passing out from happiness. 

5) I was glad Gengai was ok...

6)...but most of all, I was just happy to see Abuto. 

7) So proud of them for working their magic, but so so worried for them since Utsuro was onto their scent already.

8) I was glad to see that Matsudaira was ok, even though he’s still an old pervert.

9) This was strangely ominous yet sad considering the fact that he was saying this to Takasugi: most of the things he was trying to protect WERE hurt, permanently so.

10) Ugh, he was thinking of Bansai, he had to be. I was thinking of Bansai.

11) I wish they had more time to talk on the phone. They really still have so much to say to each other. I want them to be able to have a chapters long conversation, with Sakamoto and Zura joining in as well. 

12) Ugh, this baby puppy....it hurt me to see it hurt.

13) Yah, I screamed a lot during this chapter. Seriously don’t even know how I survived this moment...and I’m saving the best part of this scene for the Ships Tally of course.

14) I love this puppy so much!

15) Ok, he looks a little crazy here, but STILL, LOVE HIM. I wanted to protect him at all cost!!

SHIPS TALLY: 

Gintoki x Hijikata: I think I’ve already adequately expressed how much I loved this moment and why I loved it. See HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Okita x Kagura, Kamui x Okita, or Kamui x Okita x Kagura: any and all would have been COMPLETELY APPLICABLE.

Kamui x Okita: this specifically was between the two of them and I totally saw the sparks flying. Yes, I am very unfaithful; can’t help it, they’re too adorable, I can’t resist straying.

Gintoki x Takasugi: that soft expression on Takasugi’s face...I can see why people ship them.

Gintoki x Kamui: they were being totally flirty and I can’t discount the fact that Kamui did save his pretty ass.

Matsudaira x Ane: I absolutely don’t support this, the man has a wife and family ffs, and he’s so much older than Ane (like, grandpa older...I know that sounds judgey, I’m all for May/December romances, but gotta draw the line somewhere), but they did have a moment and they clearly have some sort of weird feelings toward each other, so I have to acknowledge that.
