I like it too, despite never having read Gintama. Guess I'm in the minority *shrugs* It makes me want to go pick up Gintama though, since 2chers have been calling this a rehash of Gintama so if I like this I guess I'll like Gintama :)



Anyway, I thought it was better than Bench, but one big peeve I had with it was how damn long it was. Not the page length, but how he was cramming so much into that 50 pages that it became sooo wordy. I was going to read it raw but I saw how many words there were and decided to wait for a scanlation...





Hmm I didn't really see the rehash of gintama. It was more using an existing delinquent genre and adding a cyber twist.

But if you liked it you will definitely like gintama, he has the same sense of humour, nice artwork too. The story itself may have been different, but it definitely follows the same structure as Gintama.



Changes to "normal" life, with main character being a legend from the past generation? Check

Strong female lead? Check (though the connection this time isn't too much)

Shinpachi like character (not sure how to describe this)? Check

Have some sort of past war? Check

Same style of comedy? Check

Extremely wordy? Check (I'd actually say Gintama is wordier, but this was still a very long read).



Theres probably more similarities too... Anyway, if the formula works great, why not keep using it?



Like Gintama, the form of humour would work much better in anime form, but it was still a great read. Hopefully some studio picks up these one shots, and makes a 6 ep OVA with 1 episode per one shot or something.

Got bored after few pages.  Not gonna pick this up (if it is published)

Sorachi is so much better than Kishimoto. This definitely has potential to be a serialisation, the overall tone was more serious than Gintama and I loved the idea of cyber punks :P

as expected from sorachi-sensei !

That was a really long read (to me anyway :P ), but worth it, I liked it. It was way better than Kishimoto's Bench (which was pretty lame IMO), but that's to be expected from a great mangaka as Sorachi

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

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

This was really bad. You people are just being fanboyish because of Gintama. Sigh.



The quoted statement is wrong. I never watched or read Gintama yet I like it.



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.



Yeah, a troll !



Seriously guys, don't feed the troll, you're giving him what he wants, that's just another hater/attention whore.
