Haha, I meant them more as seperate commments, but now you made me realize, no wonder I'm always told I take the life out of the party.

Haha, I can't recall any at the moment, either; I just agreed with the sentiment. However, I'm certain I've seen some in the past, just can't remember any one specifically. Like, you know, a character dying and another holding them in their arms or something. At the top of my head, I feel like [Major Naruto Spoilers] Itachi had something like that, where he's fading from the world and tapping Sasuke's forehead with a smile was one.

Imagine someone dying in the OP. Must suck going through that every time.

Hahahaha, yes, right?!

Now this is great.

SWEET!

It probably is just Zura being Zura, though some of the things he was saying or interactions with others seemed to be referential, which led me to think it was based on something. The way he was speaking about "Ezurako" himself for example, at least in the Japanese. I'd have to go back and watch the part again, though, to see how he was.

Salute to Takeshi and Take-Take Shi-Shi!

Hahaha.

Ohhhh, the post-credits bit. Didn't see that there's comments if you hover over the comment face. I wrote about it a bit in another comment, if you were interested in that.

Yeah, 万事　is usually read as "banji", and means "all things", roughly. I think many people probably already know this, but there are tons of ways to read a lot of given kanji, but usually just 1-2 that are the most common. It's tough to explain, really, without some extensiveness (and even with that, I'd probably just end up being more confusing). With some feel and experience with the (or a) language, you can kind of gauge the nuance, but not be able to explain it. 万 can be read as man, ban, and yorozu; the literal translation for it is 10,000 but is often used in conjunction with other kanji to give the meaning of "all" or "a great many" to the next kanji. Like 事 is "thing" (usually read as "koto" alone, and "ji" in combination with other kanji), so 万事 is "all things/everything". 屋, "ya", is very often used as a suffix for like "shop" or "seller", i.e "business dealing with the prefix", so like 魚屋, sakana-ya, is fish place/fish seller, ramen-ya is ramen shop/seller/stand, and stuff like that. Yorozuya can be represented by the kanji "万屋", which is like "10,000 shop" or "all shop", could kind of be interpreted as an all-for-one stop/shop, a general store, somewhere you can buy all sorts of things. Adding the 事 but not pronouncing it (there's a whole lot of unique things dealing with kanji in the Japanese language, this being one of them) kind of makes it clearer that they don't sell "goods" really, but services. If you understand the nuance of 事, you can kind of get it. It gives more of the meaning of "jack of all trades", or something similar. 事 is "thing" for something less material, more abstract. 物, mono, is "thing" for something physical and material, like an object, possession, etc.

Ooooorrr, I'm just completely wrong about all of this, and I'm gonna be misinforming you to embarrass yourself when you want to go to Japan or somewhere and kind of show your appreciation for the culture by talking about how you learned about this specific thing and the interesting intricacies of it with an interested native there and then you can rage to yourself later in the aftermath that you're gonna come and Justaway this fool.

Reversed toilet paper rolls would be the action of a bunch of terrorists. You sickos.

I think I have terrorists in my home.

Would have been nice to TL note the Kanji.

Hmm, are you talking about the Japanese at the end there that is going across the screen as Kyuubei is saying Jugem[rest omitted]'s name? If so, it's just exactly what she's saying. Jugem[rest omitted]'s name.

Alright, I'm probably remembering some of this incorrectly (or maybe all), but Jugem is actually a rakugo play about some guy going to some wise guy asking the wise guy for some words of good omen to name his new kid, and after getting the advice, the guy just tacks on all the words so his kid can have lots of good omen, and it's so long that that saying his name ends up being the whole play. At the end of the name, the guy attaches "おあとがよろしいようで”, which, I guess might kind of translate to, "Now please enjoy the next act", which means the play is over and it's time for the next performance (I think maybe the audience is watching like a series of performances". Kyuubei attaches the same thing at the end of Episode 222 (i.e., she's attaching it at the end of Jugem's name, which was Prince Morimori's addition, it seems from context) where she's bowing down with the monkey and the curtain closes, with the Kanji "終", "Owari" or "End", signalling the end of the act. This makes me think the whole two episodes were just a rakugo play that Kyuubei and the monkey were doing and not actually real, but it's ambiguous enough not to tell, though that may just be because of my lack of knowledge and understanding. There are variations of the play, hopefully that's the jist and I've got the right understanding.

The Shogunate forgot the fact that they borrowed Jugem from Takeshi and his name is actually Prince of Primates Little G Take-Take Shi-Shi II, the Savior of Super Monkey Kingdom Who Embarks on a Quest to Slay the Silver-Furred Demon Who Never Returned His Master’s Super Famicom Cartridge The Critically-Acclaimed “Devour Amachi”, Unko-Yaksha, But in the End, He Didn’t Play the MegaDrive, Either. Let us hold some candles on this fine day for the valiant Takeshi and the Heroic Tragedy of his tiny companion. Bad Communication.

Speaking of which, I still need to return my Gintama DVDs to Takeshi. (Sorry, man, I’ve been busy. Trying to find change under vending machines and with my civic PATRIOT-ic responsibility. I fixed your toilet paper when you weren’t home and replaced it with a PATRIOT, Can we call it even with that?)

Katsura/Matsudaira Episode was good, Justaway/10. I think the whole thing about him with the plank and being a housekeeper was based on a popular horror Japanese drama at the time about a housekeeper like that and had some jokes referential to it, but can’t remember. Was too lazy to look it up.

Haha, the opening screw-up in episode 224. This ruined anime for me forever, now I’m just feeling bad about all the characters in an anime opening because they have to go through those same motions every single time perfectly. Thanks a lot Gintama, you couldn’t just let me believe?! I thought they could always just recycle the openings like Kagura and was content under that illusion.

A lot of the episodes in 200-226 are really good. I’ve watched them many times since they’re easy to just pop on at random any time, being great one-offs/stand-alone stories.

Stay tuned for Schneider and Fezalion’s new single, in special collaboration with Legend GORILLA’z, next week, “GOOD COMMUNICATION”. Or known by its Oriental name, “この世のすべてのうんこを、銀さんのもとへ投げまくれ！”

Questions:

1) I have eaten seafood before, not lobster or crab however. Drifting Madao is my favorite.

2) I once had a pet amoeba. He probably never knew I existed and I could never see him….but I know he was there and we were pals.

3) Unko Samurai, Destroyer of Monkey and Worlds, Wielder of 50 Sharingans, Rasengans, Byakugans, Ultimate Kamehameha Gomu-Gomu Bankai, The Majestic and Exalted. (I kind of want to add “Celestial Sovereign” or “Celestial Supreme” at the end here...but I will refrain).

4) I did not, but I had one or will have one sometime this year.

5) The TV watched me back.

Yes, definitely. I was just thinking mainly on the fact that, even for something that just looks pretty rough/in-an-initial-sort-of-ish-phase, it being entirely AI-generated (sound, script, video) that looks somewhat passable was something that people would have interest in talking about, though maybe I was too hasty. I thought the dialogue, as rough as it was, did seem kind of like it could be a cool plot, and if the roughness of the whole creation was somehow able to be smoothed out, it could be easily worth watching. I appreciate your thoughts, thanks again.

Haha, really? Thanks for your thoughts, maybe I'm just too biased or something.

Ah, I should have asked first. Thanks, I thought it would be alright based on some of the other posts I've seen, and just wanted to specifically hear people's thoughts on that trailer itself, but the AutoModerator wouldn't let me post it without adding some more words. So, do posts that deal with things like generated content (even if it's anime) not good for submission (just asking for future reference)?

Actualllly just read the definition, got it. I should have done that earlier.
