These screenshots sum up the first half of this episode.
As any good Shounen Jump hero should know, the meaning of life for an anime character is: Friendship! Perseverence! Victory! Here we witness the first of the three.
But let’s start at the beginning.
The more I listen to the OP, the more I can imagine Konata doing a karaoke version of it a la Victory! Akumaizer 3. Nekketsu!
But let’s actually start at the beginning: Cupmen is the root of all evil.
It was a day of over-spend and over-exposure to worrying Bleach and Naruto cosplays. It was also a day of watching other people spending even more than me, and going starry-eyed over great cosplayers, some of whom are pictured below.
If you’re one of those guys, thank you for posing, and drop me an email if you’d like a better-quality photo of yourself!
Oh, and… the guy from the Yaoi stand, waving a yaoi paddle… What’s that about boys kissing other boys, and prettier than your boyfriend?
Left: If Kero-chan is this big, is Sakura friends with King Kong?
Right: They’re going to replace those bendy buses with a brand new design. [More]
Pictures are worth a thousand words, so we’re going to start with a picture of the universe. Planets and stars. Cats and dogs. That’s what the guys from the Yorozuka will be discussing with their special guest today.
Gin: Wait a minute. The one on the right isn’t the universe. Isn’t that Tsura?
Kagura: It’s the dark side of the universe aru.
Gin: Moving on, today, we have a special guest with us to discuss the latest episode of Gintama. He’s also going to show us how to go Bankai. Right, Kurosaki-san?
Guest: ….
Shinpachi: I’ve been trying to tell you for the last hour. Kurosaki-san is in the middle of filming some very important action scenes, so his manager phoned and said he couldn’t come.
Kagura: What! Gin-chan, I want a manager too aru.
Gin: Listen, Kagura, what would you rather have: a manager or a plate of sushi? They’re expensive, you know.
Kagura: You’re right. You can’t eat them can you? I want some ramen too aru.
