as i say to everyone: watch the thorny arc (episode 244-247) for a brief slice of gintama goodness

it's got comedy, it's got action, it's got manly feelings, it's only 4 episodes, and it's focused on a bunch of side characters so it's pretty self-contained. if you like it, watch more gintama. if it doesn't do it for you, don't.

Is this also the one where they talk about how most shounen mangaka have to end a chapter on a cliffhanger to keep the readers coming, even though it's a really blue-balling device? gently caress, I need to go back and start re-watching Gintama.

^^^^^^^^ e: The Arc with the baby (51-52) is way shorter. It also has more Madao. The one that focuses on the Tsukuyo is also pretty good. :allears: ^^^^^^^^

I'd be up for watching Gintama but jesus christ that's a lot of episodes.

yeah

yeah...

to be fair a lot of the actual arcs are fairly short, which i like. there's some episodes focused exclusively on comedy, 4-12 episodes of plot, some episodes focused on comedy, 4-12 episodes of plot, etc. it keeps the plot from dragging.

Every weekday, 7-9 PM, two hours of Gundam. Starting with episode one of Mobile Suit Gundam. In ten years, when you're caught up, you start all over again.

the art in the manga is... wonky and the gintama anime is pretty decently paced as stated. there's some filler arcs but the actual plot arcs are all paced normally, there's no stalling tactics in the middle of a climatic fight.

ive only read a bit of the manga but from what i can tell the anime is a fine adaptation. anyone with more manga experience wanna chime in, though?

The main point against watching the anime is that the subs are kind of bad.

I've read some of the Gintama manga and reading it after watching the anime really shows how excellent the staff working on the anime are. They do a good job at changing material to fit the medium when needed.

Also they don't shy away from adding more jokes. The filler episodes are enjoyable enough but what's really nice is how they'll add content to non-filler episodes in such a way that you'd never realize they put in some anime-original jokes unless you read the source material.

Gintama is basically an anime where I'm excited for filler because of things like the filler episode about how to end an anime when you're catching up to the ongoing manga.

my favorite added anime gag is all the episode recaps in the thorny arc being lame rapping

According to myanimelist.net, I have watched over 45 days worth of anime.

Christ, it says I'm at 120 days.

Actually, as I math it out, that doesn't seem so bad. I've been watching anime for about a dozen years, so it averages out to about 10 days/year, which is about 47 minutes/day.

Two episodes a day seems reasonable. That's what I'll tell myself.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I'm assuming there are big differences between what I saw as Robotech as a kid and what Macross is. Either way I barely remember it so it's worth watching again.
