Put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for which one they like the most!

Wasn't expecting any of these, to be honest, but I like this selection👌 (especially the last one)

In a pool full of bombshells Gin-san still can’t let go of Otae’s small chest.

Yagyu Arc: The arc that got me

Upon the recommendation of a friend, I started watching Gintama anime. Tbh, I just got on the series because my friend told me Oguri Shun would be playing the role of Sakata Gintoki in the live action adaptation of Gintama. Curious, I started watching the anime first so I know how well OguShun portrays Gin-san. And I wasn't disappointed one bit.

As I watched, season 1 were mostly gags and trolls with a little bit of serious stuff sandwiched in between. I already noticed Tae and Sacchan being there from the beginning and I wasn't really very much into shipping Gintoki with her or with anyone in particular because of the theme of the anime.

However, things turned around came Season 2. When Yagyu arc rolled, I started noticing things in a different light. Especially the dynamics between Gintoki and Tae. I was drawn and later got into the GinTae ship with their sustained relationship. Their relationship dynamics were cleverly interwoven in the background of the main story, not really in the spotlight. In that clever and subtle story-telling of Sorachi, you don't question GinTae's rapport because Sorachi gradually built and established them and don't tell me it's all because she's Shinpachi's sister, how about Kagura calling her Anego then? Just like how Sorachi-sensei gradually established their rapport, they gradually grew on me as well. Especially in the Yagyu Arc when Gintoki was very serious about Tae's well-being.

Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone’s hand is the beginning of a journey. At other times, it is allowing another to take yours.
