Silver Balls VS Detergent

VS Three O'clock & Strawberry VS Takachin & Gin-san & the Jugem monkey
(The last two are all anime voice actor references, so blocked to keep up illusion.)

(Me: Several have already answered Today's Writer's Block for me, so I'm not answering it.
Gin: They have not answered for you. You just happen to like what they wrote.
Me: I don't like what they wrote. It's simply what I would have written as my answer.
Gin: That's nonsense right there.)


Part of my very long author's note that I just have to put somewhere before September 26. Every series mentioned by name is tagged, even if it is just one line (and/or in a censored form). Most of the mentions are just voice actor references, though. )

Still in dialog (but not necessarily in character), spoilers for Gintama episodes 225-226 (and mentions of 107-108 (I think?), 110). )

Killer note, silver balls, all in all, not amount to much.

Plot (or lack thereof) of Gintama )

Not really a review, but just some of my impressions of the volumes of manga I picked up this week. Assume spoilers on all these, though sometimes I'm scarce on the details.

Death Note V 12 (Final Volume): Predictable, but that's not my complaint. )
Gintama V 36
Honestly, this has to be my least favorite Gintama volume to date. But since this is Gintama, I powered through anyway. (I'll take a so-so volume of Gintama over many other series.) So take it as a warning that most of the comments are not positive.

Boring wall of text not exactly summarizing what happen in this volume ) Manga match up with anime )
Natsume Yuujincho V 7
Well, after the two series above, I'm glad at least Natsume (the character) is being good old Natsume. But I have to admit I've read better volumes of this series. I don't hate the new character, but I think the series might be better off without him. ) Other neat stuff )
Bakuman V 1
In a nutshell, this is a manga about two teenagers writing manga to sell to Shueisha (JUMP, specifically) since they were aiming to get their manga animated. Come this way if that description makes the cut )

Babbling. )
