<Question from Cherry Blossom Colored Samurai from Kanagawa Prefecture>

Greetings, Sorachi-sensei.  I can’t seem to draw Gin-san’s dead fish eyes.  Please teach me how to draw them.

First, separate the eyebrows and eyes.  Add heavy eyelids.  You should only see about half of the pupils.

Then, shorten the distance between the eyebrows and eyes, and sharpen the eyelids…

…and you have serious Gin-san.

Plenty of racism was had on this episode of the podcast. We finally get to talk about the English dub of the Gintama movie.

Since I began writing weird stories like the screwdriver episode, I’ve been receiving letters from my readers asking me if I’m tired.  I’m not tired at all.  I’m just naturally weird.

sorachi-says:

Due to my busy schedule and inability to come up with a story that wouldn’t offend my editor’s fiancee, I was unable to finish the marriage proposal episode in time for the wedding reception. So I thought, “Good! I should leave it up in the air and pretend the plan never existed.” But on the day…

sorachi-says:

Thank you for purchasing Gintama Volume 20. One of my editors appears as Konishi in the 196th chapter in this volume. I actually drew that episode for Editor Onishi’s wedding reception because Yoshida, the editor who was organizing it, said to me, “Can you do something for him, Sorachi?”…

Gintama tells us that family isn’t always about genetics. More often, it is a product of chance meetings, shared laughter, and battles fought side-by-side. It is about falling under one roof, and it doesn’t matter if you’re an alien from the farthest end of the galaxy or the madao next door, family is family.

If family isn’t always a matter of genes, what makes a mother, then? Sometimes it means picking up every difficult stray that comes your way and showing that love isn’t about favors earned or deserved. It’s about being the center of gravity to a hard-luck town and protecting it at any cost. Tough job for any lady, then again, Otose’s survived a war and a half.

On this special day, we’d like to dedicate this post to the one and only Terada Ayano-friend, guardian, landlady, smokers of a thousand cigarettes and the living legend of Kabuki-cho. Happy Mother’s Day!

We break the news about the Gintama English dub cast. Really that is about all we talk about. That and some other news that we were late on. Honestly, we had a better segment planned but we decided to scrap it for another episode. That was a terrible idea.
