Today, Wednesday, May 15th marks my blog's 9 year anniversary! I know I know thanks for cheering.

Up until that point as a teenager, I never understood why people dedicated pages to any subject, be it anything really. But of course that was before Gintama. Gintama came like a storm and from the very beginning it was clear that it'll be a very important part of my life. Until now, and till the rest of my life, Gintama is something I can't even believe I got so lucky to stumble upon.

So to Gorilla sensei, thank you for squeezing your brain (not sure he has one) juices, and creating the best manga/anime to ever exist. Also, happy birthday 10 days in advance Gori.

1. What got you into Gintama?

A friend told me about it! I was interested because of the parodying (plus Japanese history, I’m a nerd). Also he showed me a picture of Gintoki and I died

2. Do you like the anime or manga better?

I guess I can’t choose, since i started with the anime first? but I love the manga as well, plus there’s a lot of details that weren’t animated so I always made it a point to read!

3. What was your first thought about Gintama?

I saw the introductory special at first and I was confused as hell, but when I got to the ACTUAL first episode, I fell in love with the stupid samurai who caused a riot because his parfait fell.

My entire life revolves around it at this point tbh
