what do you like about gintama? (asking as a longtime gintama enjoyer and also a longtime enjoyer of your art)
i don't think i'm THAT far in with gintama, considering how long it ran for, so I'm still learning what gintama is about. but i think the core of gintama is compassion, and that's what draws me to it... the point of every arc is to be there for those around you who are struggling because sometimes that is more than enough. it's all poopoo peepee jokes and ngl i'm a big fan of poopoo peepee jokes, but i love that there's an underlying warmth to the entire story and all the characters. the author really seems to like "people", if you know what i mean? like you can tell he's very well-adjusted lmao i also actually really do find gintama funny, more so because i now have a few years of anime viewing experience so i understand, not all, but many of the references that are being made. also... gintama has a very distinct way of portraying its male characters. they may look average on the outside but there is this very ojisan quality to them and i am so obsessed with this (i'm a big fan of kondou)... not to mention all the women in this show are equally goofy and we're really about that equality here...... oh and another thing is, the voice acting cast in gintama is superb, they sometimes laugh at their own lines and it's literally chef's kiss. i thought i didn't enjoy japanese comedy genre animes but gintama proved me wrong 🙆♀️
