Yeah Gintama is fucking awesome. I think a big factor in this is how amazingly paced the arcs are in the anime minus the final one. Despite all of the shit that happens in these serious arcs, they never really crack more than 8-12 episodes. I'm way more invested in the crazy shit that happens in these short arcs than I've ever been in a long arc that overstays its welcome.
The One Piece colored mangas are extremely good and probably the highest quality scans of the series, they actually go pretty far stopping at around Chapter 1016. Good luck finding them though, there's a release on Nyaa but they use the Viz translations (Zoro -> Zolo, etc.).
I just don't like having to watch a whiny little bitch of a protagonist going around lecturing people on how to live their lives and being always morally right despite being a hothead who picks fights with nearly everyone. If they removed him completely, my opinion of the show would shoot right up. The side characters were actually pretty interesting.
Yeah, too many shonen gets bogged down in power levels and infinite plot lines. Gintama keeps the arcs short enough that they don't outstay their welcome and a lot of times what you think is going to be a short gig turns into an epic showdown. Still fucking weird every time to be reminded Amanto exist when 90% of the time it's everyone is human in anachronistic modern Tokyo.
Yeah it gets touched on a bit later kind of but for the most part yeah the most you're getting with the Amanto is like Kagura and that barely fucking counts.
I've read the manga and did enjoy it. Does the anime deviate a lot from it ?
The manga makes Tanabe a lot different as she’s comedic and a bit annoying. The series is hard sci-fi, but really leans into Space Travel is a such a commodity it’s boring. It makes it a lot better when Hachimaki goes to be a big boy astronaut. The co-workers are expanded upon and Fee’s melodrama with her son is dropped. The fucking Indian guy and bald manager get very good character moments.
Holy shit they doubled the cost? I don't think this is just for the FUNi subscribers, either, it's for everyone? How do we know Aniplex hasn't bought out Crunchyroll?
Wasn't an anime adaption of Omnicient Reader's Viewpoint announced recently? I doubt they could change it, considering the amount of Korean historical figures that pop up.
You don't understand. Keeping voice actors/actresses like Jamie Marchi and Monica Rial fat and happy in this economy bankrupts businesses. No one can afford D-list actors any more so of course customers have to pay more. That or the industry moves to AI generated voice acting.Holy shit they doubled the cost?

Get fucked.
