Wow.
So, I just watched the onsen episode of the anime, and I have the following to say:
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.
It occurs to me that maybe -- just maybe -- Kadsuki and Jubei are gay. Watch the episode, maybe you'll see what I'm talking about. Or maybe I'm just seeing things that aren't there. (Hint: I just broke a world record for sarcasm.)
On a serious note, I like the new opening and ending songs. But I thank GOD for the Shido/Madoka picture -- which is gorgeous, and guaranteed to clear up any misconception anybody still has about her age -- because otherwise I think the gay of the Jubei/Kadsuki embrace or the final ending pose of Ban/Ginji would've made my head explode. O_o That is NOT a heterosexual guy friend look that Ban is giving Ginji there.
I've come to realize that looking for more slash pairings in GB is totally gratuituous. They are shoving the clue bricks down your THROAT. The gay couples are CANON here. Why do you need to pair Ginji with MAKUBEX when in the final moment of the ending song Ginji is smiling up at Ban, who is approximately half an inch from kissing him?
It's a rare anime when I have to say, "Where are all the straight people? Make them come back." Not that I'm not enjoying myself, mind you. >3
