I was truly going to leave the previous gender-bending slash fic excerpt entry alone, but one of the characters featured in that fic is, shall we say, less than pleased with his role in it. And so I'm kind of obliged to post his complaints. But reading them might kill any potential of that fic ever being taken seriously if I ever get around to writing more of it...

( Here be the DVD style comments then. )

Anyway, I'm done with this. Hopefully my next post will be something different.

(As always, thanks to fushigichan for the translation of the episode.)

( In which I repeat myself a lot. Spoilers for Mebius 18. )


In short, this episode is just so awesome, although I fear I may be the only person to think so. (My preferences usually differ from others' ^^;;) I also didn't intend for this review to be long, although, as it is, I'm quite sure I still have left something out...

EDIT: Spoilers for the final episode of this arc (episode 214) in the comments. I could only hope anyone I don't know isn't around to read the comments now...



Been reading around for Gintama ep 211 reviews, opinions, discussions. And yes, it generates a lot of discussions, all right, but now it generates a lot of things I don't like too. I cringe at being confrontational, so I'm just going to rant in my own space.

ETA:
22. I don't know why I still keep adding to this entry, really. But I'm going to admit that most of my frustration seemed to stem from having too much expectation of my fellow audience. (Yeah, I haven't missed the irony of Rant #5. People don't want to hear me whine either.) And this is episode 211 already, not episode 20, so people should be familiar with the series and the characters (well, at least the major characters) by now. It's not that it really matters one way or another to me whether someone is able to predict stuff, but can you at least not un-predict it? Like saying something that would never happen in this series will happen and vice-versa? But then again, you tell me this stuff is subjective. You run into people who don't agree with each other what constitutes a canon material all the time. Oh well, I don't let this get to me anymore, hopefully.

23. Let this be the end of it. I'm sure I'm in Gintama for the good time, not for something that would upset me. Clinging to this entry would not make things better. I would go change the review entry from the ground up, too, since I think I might have revealed a little too much of private moments and my unstable emotion, but I don't think I want to make things worse. So I am going to walk away, calm down, and lurk, since I think I'm only good for that at this moment...
