...eheheh. would you believe 25K words? Of which the first 15K or so are straight comedy with a dash of action, but now I'm getting to the stuff which...isn't. Poor Gin-chan. I think it's more than half done and I'm almost to the emotional climax, but...will see? (I want to do NaNo this year so I've only got a week+ to finish it!! ^^;)
Heee, I've been meaning to hunt down some of the Gintama OSTs! I've only got the DOES songs (and the "Mr. Raindrop" one 'cuz I loved it) but there's been others I've enjoyed, if not as much. And there's a few pieces of BGM I want as well.
(hee to the DBZ music as well. I haven't listened to it for years but I watched enough of the series to have instantly recognized the preview music when it played in the Hijikata parody ep...)
...it's possible I enjoy this series a bit too much.
NOT POSSIBLE!!
(...though if it is possible, I think I might be a good test case... ^^;)
I never sought out the Benizakura movie because I thought it was the exact same as the episode arc. Is that right, or was it just repackaged for the theatre?
Mostly it was the same, but it was all reanimated and there are extra bits (Shinsengumi cameos and such). I haven't seen it, though, 'cuz it's not out on DVD yet (comes out in Dec. - the movie came out in April but Japan does wacky release schedules, so...)
Is it at least the kind of dumb that was that "hard boiled detective" mini-arc?
Hmm, yeah, I think I might've liked the Fanclub arc better than that one, actually. There are some crazy LOL bits. (well, the detective mini-arc did have the inexplicable bit where they were on the treadmill running from the spiked wall and the family on the futon came down and I giggled so hard I couldn't breathe. But otherwise it wasn't a favorite?) And maybe even a bit of stuff that could count as char development (...umm, a very little. And hidden under thick creamy layers of crack.) And it does have Shinsengumi vs Yorozuya, so...(Yamazaki's in it! ^^)
(...now I want to go and make a post of all the Gintama scenes which have made me laugh so hard I almost cried. Many of them inappropriate. If only I could remember all of them...! The the bit with the Shinsengumi-mascot centaur costume might still be #1. There's at least a few scenes where just thinking about them makes me start giggling.)
Is it also bad that I love it for lying?
Oh man, the series PLAYS with our hearts and minds and shiny silver fangirl souls, and I adore it for it! <333
(and yow, that's the first ep I think that the series shows its tragic teeth. It's got a few bittersweet moments before that, but that ep - man taking care of a gaggle of adorable orphans! and then he's brutally murdered in front of them! ummm wasn't this supposed to be a comedy?!!?)
