Haha, well dark for me I should say. I still haven't decided yet on which one I should do yet, both projects are tugging at me pretty fierce. (It doesn't help that watching Gintama seems to inspire thoughts and plots for the o-fic project). But then again, the SGA story's been in my head for two years now. Decisions~!
He's the only char who does any actual work! In, like, the entire show ^^;;;
It's funny because it's so very true.
And he spends the Fanclub arc quietly WTFing in his way (plus he gets a new involuntary hairstyle ^^;;;)
Hahaha! I totally just watched the fan club arc, and yes XD Poor Yamazaki! That haircut... oh, that was hilarious yet terrible. Poor guy. I can't help but feel that despite all of that, the arc was kinder on him than Katsura Appreciation Month was.
Hijikata with 1 HP, takes a step and stubs his toe and dies!
Coffin-surfing!
(I've never played any Dragon Quest so didn't find it quite as funny as my bro, who has, but still!!) SO SPECIAL.
I played a few of them, and MANY a RPG, so I was dying.
I also admit to loving the penpal arc... "When I think about your sister I get turned on."
Hahaha, oh god, yes! All of the letters, and Okita brainwashing the sister, and poor, poor Tae after Gintoki gave her the "talk" and she couldn't look Shinpachi in the eye for the rest of the arc XD
that's the thing about the series...I know I wouldn't enjoy the drama as much if it didn't have the crack comedy, too, but hot damn I love the drama.
It's kind of funny, but it's true. Somehow the tragic balances out the humor nicely. I think if it were either pure comedy or pure drama, I don't think the high points of each would resonate quite so much. Even when it makes me cry over puppies. TWICE. I've noticed that the ones that start out with an added amount of hilarity at the beginning (Toshi the Otaku, the Garbage Urban Legend) seem to always manage to make me cry at the end.
but it's not a split personality, just a shift in priorities.
I think that's a great way to describe it. I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing that switch get flipped though. Somehow, it still takes me by surprise about, oh, half the time.
next scene he's running for his life from the flower-selling monster and telling Kagura and Shinpachi that he'll remember them fondly. XDXDXDXDXD
He doesn't have to outrun the bear, just them XDXDXD
