I was listening to onyanko club during as well, a rather catchy song.

It's now some hours after I read it, but I'm still listening to it XD

I like it too, despite never having read Gintama. Guess I'm in the minority *shrugs*

*Joins minority* :3

All in all, an interesting and very shonen-like one shot. I would love seeing it getting serialised.
I haven't read Gintama but watched some episodes of the anime and I still like it. If Bankara has the same structure as Gintama, what's wrong with that while people like it...? ô.o
The amount of words didn't bother me at all, the whole awesomeness distracted me, I guess XD
Bench was good as well (while I neither read Naruto nor am I interested in sports manga), but this piece combined so many things that I like it better XD I liked the idea with the quotes a lot, too!

It was funny and yet meaningful simultaneously. Good stuff.

I liked this oneshot, and yes it is because I am a gintama fan, but i liked that structure. As expected from Mr. Sorachi ^^

Didn't like this at all.
Bored me, and the art was...eh.

I don't think I would enjoy Gintama either.

Of course some individuals are going to like it, but the majority of people that do are fans of Gintama. Stop being so straightforward, and learn to think.


Maybe you should learn to think? Fandom just ensures that they will check a certain work because it is of an author who's former work they liked. Hell, I have seen more fans being more critical because they are fans then less critical.

People like something you don't. Live with it.


Yeah, and you would be surprised how many people will say they liked their work, even if they didn't, only because they read the authors previous work and they liked it. Also noone here bashed on it, so the rest of your comment is just based on past experiences of different work, which in this case doesn't mean jack shit. Once again, learn to think.

Also, ReaperEXE, your post made absolutely no sense so i can't reply to it.


Don't like it? fine, we heard it, the question is why you're still around trolling. If people liked it, you're not going to convince anybody that it was bad and that they didn't enjoy it, just go read/watch something else.

Thanks for the Dragon Quest thingy clearup, that's what I came here for =P

I've only like, 60 episodes into Gintama, but so far, I like this one shot better. Gintama's so massive that it tends to spiral out all over the place with tons of random characters popping in and then back out (which is true for all long series, this is not meant as a complaint about Gintama) A one shot has more focus and having a confined setting of just the school definitely helped too.

Plus, it's more serious. Like most of this manga would make a really interesting moral debate, but then there are all these hilarious one liners thrown in. (Yes, there were running gags too, but I didn't like them quite as much.) Great mixture of everything.

I hated this. It started off decently interesting and I liked the idea of cyberization but there was wayyyyyy too much dialogue, walls of text in every page, which quickly lost my interest and I just skimmed through the end. The plot's a mess and the storytelling was bland, it was just bancho this and that. And wtf, what's wrong with this school? There's these dangerous cyber gangs running around everywhere with machine body parts that could kill people? Also, I could not care about the characters at all, they were all so uninteresting. The little violence shown in this one shot was lackluster and ultimately senseless and stupid. Oh yeah, and once again, THE WALLS OF TEXT. That's the biggest thing that killed it for me. Gintama beats this down the water. 1/10

Started out great then got boring for me afterward.

The Cybernization things was kinda cool but modifying my whole body would just feel weird.

That was AWESOME! I want it to be serialized, because the plot was great and also the characters!

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

I guess that was okay, especially since I did not have any expectations coming into this one-shot.

The story was rather dismal in my opinion with the setting feeling very uninspired.

Since people are comparing the style of humour to "Gintama", which I have yet to read or watch, I don't suppose I will be a huge fan of that.

The whole Captain Marvel / Shazam power-up reference was neat.

That was great! I wouldn't mind if this was a series though. I did like 13 more than this.

5/5
