#sad. wouldve loved to see the words love hotel/hotel melati in an undergraduate thesis on a dick and balls anime

@epicdogymoment making a separate post as to not clog your notifs

this is from the data collection section: "retrieved from an anime pirating site"👍

the paper isnt specific on gintama itself (the writer seems to be inspired by another paper of the same subject but with kimi ni todoke as the source material)

a lot of speech act discussions (i was expecting analysis of the manzai format from the title lol) and just explaining different ways of apologizing/blaming (gomennasai/moushiwakearimasen/etc) by using lines from gintama

all things considered i hope the writer enjoyed rewatching gintama as they write this thesis. familiar names makes it fun to read
