clowdywings's review against another edition

4.0

This had a lot of swordfights. It’s a little jerky (especially in one spot) but I think it’s pretty interesting. Tbh, this is what I was expecting Gin-Tama to be.

The art is so old. It’s pretty crazy. It feels like it’s from the early 80s, most likely because of the hairstyles and eyeliner of characters. It is a little busy on the eyes (too much contrast?).

Interesting but strange. I’m gonna have to think about this one for a while.

June 17, 2017 Edit:
I just watched the absolutely beautiful first movie of the movie trilogy adaptation and that made me want to finally finish this series once and for all so I'm re-reading all the volumes I've read before and continuing with it for that purpose. At the moment I think the movie is better than the manga (*gasp*) and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes this manga and anime. It's visually stunning and the plot is a mismatch of a few of the manga arcs woven together pretty wonderfully! And the fighting is beyond amazing; raw and mesmerizing! (Whoops, is this becoming more a review of the movie? lol)

Original
I need to continue on with this manga series eventually. I liked this volume, but I just wasn't captured enough by the plot to go past volume five or so. Will do so eventually!

Not for me. I think I could have liked this more if I was more up on history (or enjoyed being up on history). This also might be related to the fact that I am listening to a book that is fairly bloody (as is Rurouni) and it's just too much blood for me. Regardless, I don't think I will continue with this series, but it's definitely give out-able, especially to boys.
