Yay, I can always use more anime fen on my flist! (Especially Gintama fen - there's not enough of us!) So please, friend away ^^ (Hee, were you the one who just left the lovely review on Pandemonium?)
And yes - Gintama is one of the only series that I hands-down prefer the anime over the manga. It's so much prettier (Sorachi is a mad but brilliant writer, but an artist less so...), and a lot of the gags make more sense animated. I think of the Gintama manga as the storyboard for the anime, really. Which is why I am so very excited to be getting to see Kabuki-chou animated (also Sugita is indeed <333!)
(And yeah, I love Gintama, but One Piece is my ~~FAVORITE MANGA OF ALL TIME~~ and I pretty much worship Odacchi for his storytelling and artistic skills, so, erm, yeah....I went a long while without reading it but just caught up now so there's definitely more OP squee to come...)
