The image after "Drinks, BRUGS, and Rock'n Roll" is broken.

My god I did not have nearly enough drink to dull the pain of this show. Laughing

I watched this whole thing, and I have no idea why. The premise isn't bad, better production values and crazy action sequences would've helped, but it had none of that... I guess I just wanted some filler to kill time. But if anyone else is thinking the same, that time is better spent doing anything else.

From what I've heard, Gibiate is less a sincere but overly ambitious misfire and more a cynical cash grab by a marketing guy using industry connections and famous names to try and sell something with no creative vision behind it.

But like most things, it all depends on what the viewer wants to believe.

I remember asking myself, “what does time traveling samurais and ninjas have to do with the story?” Never thought the answer would be because the main character wished for it. Confused

It's also pretty criminal that we didn't get to see Sensui and Kenroku smooch. Not even ONCE.

Okay. I'm officially done with you guys. Why don't you review a yaoi or shounen ai if you want gay stuff? I'm sick of reading these and seeing the same demands or hopes for something gay to happen, even when the situation didn't call for one. THAT'S ALL YOU LOOK FOR!!! Mad
