Yeah, the later anime series were prettier, but nothing matches her unique style.
And I do the same thing with Saiyuki - I haven't read it for years, even while in Japan I was only looking at it now and then; but whenever I come back to it I love it as much as ever. It's just pure fangirl crack, is what it is.
The numbers are Japanese fangirl sorta-puns, hence them making no sense in English! but in Japanese - go = 5, ha(chi) = 8, kuu = 9, and san = 3. (Hakkai and Sanzo's names actually begin with the kanji for 8 and 3 respectively; Hakkai's name means "8 Commandments" and Sanzo refers to 3 branches of Buddhist sutras.)
New Gintama! Now I really need to catch up.
YES, YES YOU DO!!! If the first ep is any indication, Gintama' is going to be EPIC~~~~! (it has to be, really, because they're going to do Kabuki-chou arc, which is made of awesome!)
