Plot threads involving Utsuro's identity, origin and abilities had to be resolved. In all fairness, Rakuyo is more a transition to the final arc. One bleak event after the another, culminating in the introduction of Utsuro, shown to be the strongest antagonist till date. Gintama basically sacrificed a part of itself to set up the drama.įS was oppressive in its atmosphere. Alongside the Shogun, it was the death of Gintama's comedy, a death more hard-hitting than most characters'. He ratcheted the intensity higher and higher with each chapter, a near-miraculous feat. Konosuba, the current comedy favourite can't really function without its comedy at all.Īnd yet Sorachi pulled it off with aplomb.
Hayate (the manga) has gone to shit in its final arc. And it is especially hard in a universe without any flashy techniques to aid the transition, like Negima or KHR. Forcing an audience to believe that characters surviving comic explosions can die at the hands of random mooks is a massive leap. Shifting tones from comedic to tension-filled is hard for any creator. But Gintama's standard of comparison is itself, and this season pales in comparison to the others.
#STREAM GINTAMA SEASON 1 SERIES#
It stands head-and-shoulders above other battle series (shounen isn't really a genre, nor is it the only one utilizing plot armour).
But the reviews don't address the elephant in the room, a point which I'm coming to. Gintama was my first 10, my only 10, and my absolute no 1 when it comes to anime currently. Most of the current reviews are 10/10s claiming Gintama to be the best thing since sliced bread.Īnd I agree completely. Trolls need triggered people to feed on, after all.
They just view haters as just being pitiable more of a "your loss" viewpoint rather than a "fuck you" one. Maybe it's due to the non-confrontational fanbase. Still, Erased and Re Zero received significant backlash on their sudden rise. I'm perfectly aware that ratings on this site are dogshit, with trolls and boosters running rampant in equal measure. Ridiculous one franchise having so many entries in the top list is are made, and then the matter is dropped. I wonder when it became natural for Gintama to have a score of 9 or above.Įvery time a new season is announced, a few one-liners of "X being displaced from the top 10", or some acerbic remarks about how I say this beforehand, since otherwise you might waste *our* time going directly to my profile on seeing the score and flaming me for 'fishing'. But make no mistake, 6 is what I think it deserves. More troublingly, it's lengthy as fuck.ĮDIT: If you take the time to read, I've explicitly mentioned I'll be scoring this a 9 like the disgusting fanboy I am. Long-held grudges, political infighting, and the Tendoushuu's sinister overarching plan finally culminate into a massive, decisive battle on Rakuyou. Hitching a ride on Sakamoto's space ship, the Yorozuya and Katsura set out for Rakuyou, Kagura's home planet, where the various factions have gathered and tensions are brewing. Nobume also makes a stunning revelation regarding the Tendoushuu, a secret organization pulling the strings of numerous factions, and their leader Utsuro, the shadowy figure with an uncanny resemblance to Gintoki's former teacher. The Kiheitai present Gintoki with a job: find Takasugi, who has been missing since his ship was ambushed in a Harusame raid. The Yorozuya is soon approached by Nobume Imai and two members of the Kiheitai, who explain that the Harusame pirates have turned against 7th Division Captain Kamui and their former ally Takasugi. After joining the resistance against the bakufu, Gintoki and the gang are in hiding, along with Katsura and his Joui rebels.
