That episode made me cry, I wasnāt expecting out given how silly that arc started off. I kept metronoming between laughing my ass off and fighting back tears.
Itās a two episode arc the scene from that screenshot is in the next episode. The show is pretty episodic so while there is an overarching plot you can just jump in on those episodes and be fine.
I love Gintama. Iām rewatching without subs to help my Japanese learning by immersion and thereās so many gags Iāve completely forgotten. Itās nice because I get taken by surprise again
Damn that's awesome! Knowing the amount and the speed of speech in Gintama, your level must be really high! I'm stuck with something easier and slower for nowš
Hahahahaha not at all. Iām barely picking anything up but I was watching Doraemon and I was only getting the same 30% of the words so I just decided that if I powered through Gintama I might end up picking up more. Iām about 30-40 episodes in because I skipped around and boy has it not made any difference.
Itās great because his Japanese is more basic, he randomly breaks into English which gives me more context, and he speaks a bit slower. Iām usually able to understand 15-40% of it and Iāve noticed a lot of the words Iāve learned from Anki show up so it reinforces the learning. Theyāre both comedians so the bits Iām able to pick up usually crack me up.
Great episode, its dubbed now, up to 150 with 150-200 finished. Gintama suprisingly works well with a dub, imo the sub didnt get good til around episode 80 for me while the dub gets good earlier by around episode 30, with some decent episodes before it. The localization helps and gintama is a better show when you dont have to look at the screen 24/7 imo, very dialouge heavy, almost feels like watching a podcast. 100-150 were all really solid for dubs, felt like theybhit their stride.

If only it was one man that was responsible and not the majority of an entire culture.

There's a whole line of auxilliary backup old men waiting in the wings. Thinking it's just one man is dangerously naive.

This skirt, and the sad radio segment about a dog with a twist (from the insomnia episode), are two of my favorites from the whole show.

I actually recommend this podcast. I found it when I first started learning Japanese by using Google Translate to look up āPokemon podcastā and clicked the first result. I liked it even though I didnāt understand anything so I watched another episode and thatās where I found out that not only is it not a Pokemon podcast (they only did one PokĆ©mon episode), itās called the Badonkadonk podcast and the dude is from the US and starts every episode off by saying Daaaaayyyuummmmm thatās a badonkadonk! before continuing the podcast in mostly Japanese. Over time the intro has turned into him referencing some pop culture references but replacing words or actions with badonkadonk and the woman tries to guess the reference.
Itās great because his Japanese is more basic, he randomly breaks into English which gives me more context, and he speaks a bit slower.
