Talk:Gintama

message: Under the "Themes and style" heading, I was wondering if it should be noted that the Amanto are basically a parallel for westerners, as well as the events and anti-foreigner sentiment present in Japan during that period in real life? 184.147.93.162 (talk) 20:04, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, while the Amanto influence is much more widespread in Gintama, I personally believe it's still inspired by the events in real life Japan, as delineated on the WP pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakumatsu and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boshin_War.  It was partly due to increasing foreign pressure to either open Japan's borders or be attacked and forced to go to war that led to the end of the Edo era and the beginning of the Meiji era.  There are differences, of course, as in Gintama the Edo era never ended, but the initial events seem essentially the same.  The differences after initial events are clearly due to a divergent timeline created by the Amanto invading instead of the Americans..  I'm not sure if all that's enough, though.  184.147.93.162 (talk) 15:38, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
