Yep, I will write second time about Gintama. You ask why? Well I think that even a ten posts wouldn't be sufficient to describe this M&A. This anime is surely long but it can be watched separately, because plot is divided in so called "arcs". I am really pleased due to the fact that Gintama was resumed and we can watch starting from last week new episodes. In fact forth series was canceled because of financial problems, but after the great success of the second film called Gintama The Movie : The Final Chapter : Be forever Yorozuya it was just a matter of time to see Gintoki once again :). Gintama owes its popularity to an unusual combination of jokes and light comedy with great fighting scenes, interesting plot, sometimes even squeezing tears endings.
And here some evidence that even the saddest story ever can turn out a trolling joke :) ->
Last time I wrote briefly about the main characters, so today I want to add my favorite list :
1. Katsura Koutaro- one of Joui's revolutionaries and Gintoki's old friend, person which you can never guess what he is thinking about. Normally he shows a worrying lack of intelligence but somehow you can fell that it is just some sort of acting, maybe his jokes and personality create for him a path to forget about his painful past.

2. Okita Sougo and Hijikata Toushiro- right I didn't have a chance to mention Shinsengumi- a police group protecting Edo and Shogunate. Actually, Shinsengumi existed and Okita, Hijikata, Kondo and Yamazaki are historical figures (that is why Shinsengumi appear in dozens of Japanese anime). You can check it here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinsengumi
Let's return to Sougo& Toshi combo. I love every episode in which Shinsengumi appears :). They are good friends but none of them want to say it, so Okita, the young and sadistic genius seeks ways to mess Hijikata's life. Toushiro has a reputation of ruthless samurai, but the reality is caring and sometimes too gullible.

3. Gintoki Sakata- well firstly I admit that in most of cases I don't like or admire main characters. I read a lot of manga where main character takes all the attention (even if rest of interesting ones are omitted), they can beat every opponent by themselves so rest of cast can just shed tears of joy that they have such a great "hero". Praise the Lord! in Gintama main charater- Gintoki has some limits and anime producing staff well know the limit where to stop and share some attention. For me it is easy way to not get bored of watching the same guy all the time. I also like Gintoki because he is imperfect and regardless being strong in anime is shown as some sort of a middle-aged life-loser.

It is all for today! See you soon (really soon ;) )
