finally finished ep 1+2. hmm
#leologisms#gintama#leo liveblogs#revisiting early gintama makes me remember what solis (? may or may not have been solis) said#how as time passes gintama becomes late edo period media as well as 2000s japan period media#its preoccupation with ronin as penniless unemployed losers..#oh yeah. gintoki talking about. how you have to face the things you want to forget the most. king of not listening to his own advice#hmm. im thinking (new thought) katokens childs letter about wanting to hurry up and go back home#and the house getting completely destroyed by a huge amanto device that rises from the ground#katoken of course gets his happy end and is reunited with his family (cant go too hard with the loser thing in the anime special intro)#but. the house. sorry im thinking about individual gintama arcs and episodes as microcosms#even IF you defeat the amanto you wont get everything back. and you still need to change#<- ? im unsure about this. i cant quite hone in on what exactly about it it is#different unrelated thought: the shinsengumi portrayed in gintama as being largely useless and unable to enact real change#as opposed to gintoki/the yorozuya. did i forget to say the word samurai#<- they literally explicitly say this btw. i think its funny how so many people like the shinsengumi (gintama) because theyre cool#theyre losers. come on now
