Gintama Anime

Currently watching this. So silly. Watching it for the voice/seiyuu (Kazuya Nakai) of Imayoshi in Kuroko no Basuke (Kuroko's Basketball).  Imayoshi (captain of the Touou Gakuen Basketball team) has a Very sexy dialect accent to his Very sexy & intimidating voice. What accent is it? Okinawa? Sounds like the characters from the anime Barakamon.

In Gintama, the seiyuu has lost the Imayoshi accent but his voice is still sexy. Unfortunately, his voice doesn't fit the role. The drawing and his voice don't match. He voices Hijikata Toshizo of the Shinsengumi.

Another unfortunate point about Gintama, is the drawing. Not attractive. No bishounen & no pretty girls. It's just silly humor that is sometimes so inane that I have to skip forwards.

Certain segments are good. Example at the end of Ep 5. Classroom with Gin-san & Hijikata (Imayoshi) over Gin-san smoking a cigarette while teaching when it's actually really, a lolly.  I giggled.

So hard to find good anime these days. Gintama is not it. Kuroko's Basketball... I watched it & re-watched it already.  So I watched the whole thing twice.  Waiting for next year March 2015 for Season 3.  -.- Long wait.

Wonder if the seiyuu for Imayoshi really speaks that dialect accent? Coz he sounds very natural. Is Nakai an Okinawan surname?

I saw Google images of Gin-san & Hijikata yaoi together... Curious & watching the Gintama anime to see any aspects that suggest so. 

In Ep 5, they meet each other for the first time. Hijikata tries to kill Gin-san with his sword. Gin-san dodges. Nothing yaoi there.

The moment I heard Katsura's/Zura's voice in Gintama, I knew it was Ishida Akira.  Sexy in a deep, heavy way. This time,  at one point he sounds a little like the seiyuu... Shiozawa Kaneto who died many years ago (voiced the sexy & cold hard-voiced blond Iason Mink in the yaoi anime Ai no Kusabi).

Can't believe Gintama can run into so many episodes when it's so silly.  200 over episodes. Just nuts. (brings to mind Naruto).

Had to skip the entire Ep 5. If it continues this way, I'm going to have to stop watching completely, Imayoshi's voice or not. I'll just have to search for more of his voice in other anime. Or ... re-watch his parts in Kuroko's Basketball.
