| This episode reminded me how cute Sadaharu is <3 Too bad the series didn't have more episodic comedy goodness like this :< |
 |
okaneman said: Yeah but that's because they only animated the serious arcs, they completely skipped over the chapters that were between these serious arcs. Although I do hope that they'll eventually animate those chapters, some of them are just pure comedy gold! Hopefully a 4th season will be announced, a full one at that, no more reruns between arcs!Well the anime catches up very quickly to manga's chapter even with that reruns.. Gintama manga now on 438, and the anime stops at chap 410, so we need to wait for a while then. |
| Cute episode. So it this is the end T__T. Hope Gintama will return soon. |
| Beautiful, just beautiful x3 I still managed not to cry, but I admit this episode really hit me <3 It was so sweet and heart-warming, but also sad :3 Sadaharu really resembles his owners :3 Glad Zura also appeared, I missed him xD Enchousen had many of these, it was as perfect as always <3 I'll really miss it (despite currently rewatching Gintama xD). And after every Gintama season, the temptation to read the manga is stronger and becomes so hard to resist xD I'll surely end up reading it eventually xD Now waiting for the movie and for another Gintama season in the future :3 |
| Well I love Gintama as much as always, but I am little disappointed that we only got 13 new episodes this season. I know they announced it would be about half reruns, but I don't think this season deserves the #1 spot on MAL. It's gonna be a long (9 month-ish) wait until the movie gets subbed in high quality :(. I'm gonna miss Gintama! |
 |
| It was great and all - but I have one complaint. They forced in way too many serious arcs in a row. Gintama doesn't flourish in this fashion, it only has such good dramatic serious touching and sad stuff possible BECAUSE of the fact you get breaks inbetween. Even a short episode break (like Sadaharu's episode) being mixed in would have made it feel better, but I just couldn't give a shit during the final arc after having just finished the previous one. It kinda ruined it somewhat for me because I was already having feels from the prior arc and then the next episode kicks right into another serious one. Also, all the arcs were far from filled with comedy, which is fine on occasion, but again there were too many STRICTLY SERIOUS arcs in a row here. The only time they tried lightening up the mood was for like a third of the first episode of the obi one arc, and that stopped very suddenly. Otherwise it was great, sad to see it end. However them RUSHING through the serious arcs to catch up with the manga and skipping some comedy arcs makes me wonder if the film really will be the finale of the franchise. There's no other real reason for them to have tried so hard to squeeze in every serious arc possible into these 13 episodes other than that as far as I can think of anyway. Many people have been guessing the Gintama manga would come to a close this year as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if the new film will really be the end of the entire franchise as a whole. I know the title is a parody - but this does NOT mean the movie is going to be a joke, nor does it mean that the title isn't applicable. Actually, the fact it's an obvious parody title makes it seem more like it may be legit and that the 'troll' in this situation is tricking people into assuming it's going to be another 'troll', while really being what it says it is. Gintama does have to end some day, and with where it's at currently I wouldn't be surprised if that some day was very soon. |

| Finally they showed Katsura's whereabout, he's still on standby.XD It was good episode even though ts a story about dog. Just to show that Soraich can make story with any character good. Gin-san once again act like a bastard but the truth is he is the one who understand people,animals and alien the most. Its sad that the anime has to end again but it can't be helped, the manga is quite close to the anime. I'm sure the movie being the ending is just another trolling no matter what they say to convince us otherwise. |
 |
| I TEARED UP A LITTLE BC OF DOGS. DOGOOOGOOGOSO. Sorachi, i bow down to you. The anime ended....again T_T Hope it comes back...It's Gintama we're talking about anyways lolool. Now i have to live off of re-runs to fulfill my Gintama desires until it's back. >w> and the manga too. Can I just stay in a corner until the movie comes out? I already miss Gintama. ;A; bebe come baaaacckckckck. Katsura I missed you and turns out you were on standby again lawls. As always, Gintama is just perfect in all it's glorious ways. c': |

Where, who, and why? Sure the Ikkoku Keisei arc did set up the finale for the future but otherwise it seems like it's business as usual in Gintama. Did Sorachi or someone hint at such a thing? Other than the movie I mean. I do worry about the movie really might be the end of the series, but...even IF the manga ended this year, that's still a year's worth of material that Sunrise would be throwing away, especially when I heard they've already animated some of the future episodes already (I can't confirm this though). Gintama is too popular to throw away like that. Anyway, I feel pretty confident this is in line with their usual trolling and actually mean saying good bye, for -now-. Or has some people suggested, the "final chapter" is, on top of being a parody, eluding to saying good bye to Gintoki's past and how he wants to be part of Yorozuya forever. |
| another great season even it was a short one 10/10. |
 |
| Damn Gintama, almost made me cry again. Sadaharu, you poor little thing. This episode was awesome and so was the season, even though it was a short one, but excellent nevertheless! 10/10 of course. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| That was a great episode. |
| I'm a bit sad but I'm sure Gintama will return. This Enchousen series was great as expected. However, it would've been nice if there were more random episodes. Still... |
 |
| awesome episode glad to see ZURA again...i hope it returns but i doubt it be anytime soon and i hope the manga isn't ending anytime soon anyway enjoyed all these serious arc can't wait for the movie & obviously 10/10 <3 Gintama |

g-man01 said: so someone explain to me why gintama ended?? Because, there are not more episodes. No more episodes=end. |
 |
| I'm giving this show a 9/10. I love the serious arcs, but the blend with the comedic episodes is what makes Gintama a masterpiece anime altogether. Which sadly this season was lacking (I don't include re-runs, since I skipped them). And if they do plan to make a season four, hopefully it will be in two years time. I reckon thats the best time to continue the anime. Long wait, but it will definitely be worth it. |
 |
| Thought it was gintama trolling again. :( #1 again huh? :D |
| Man for a Sadaharu episode, that ending was very touching and sad. Gintama never ceases to amaze me 10/10 |
 |
| Touching episode, Sadaharu learned a valuable lesson, back to the manga :D Arumaru said: Thought it was gintama trolling again. :( #1 again huh? :D No no ... #1 AND #2, cant wait for the haters to start a new thread bashing Gintama. Their hate feeds my soul nomnomnom =) |

| I can't believe I'm the only one missing Sa-chan... and that sadist mode, which I only saw in the DragonBleaPiece filler episode. Anyways, it was a great run. Till next time (this fall, hopefully) :D BTW, awesome episode, as always. |
| The big brown fox jumps over the lazy dog |
| ZURA ILL BE ON STANDBY FOR YOU FOREVER!!! |

| It finally ended </3 Can't really say much except the score is Gintama/10 |

| Just 13 episodes plus fillers? I was expecting a longer season. Anyway, love the last episode! I <3 sadaharu!! |

| Good thing I was alone or else people would see me with tears falling down my face. ;-; I think this is a great episode for the Gintama season to end. |
 |
| Very touching episode. Love the way Sadaharu starts caring and taking care of the little puppy dog. Gintoki is awesome as always. Great season of the anime Gintama. A well deserved 10/10! Can't wait for more! |
 |
| I hope it comes back Gintama's ended so many time's I'm not sure if I can take this seriously. really nice episode though 10/10 |
 |
| It would be nice episode. But maybe because i was watching gintama in one run (i mean 13 episodes in 3 days :D) this one was worse, no that's wrong. I should say: less great then other episodes this season. But this season was one of the best, especially second arc. I liked that Shinpachi was more likeable and he isn't such wuss anymore. He also appeared to be strong swordsman, which wasn't so visible before. And Tsukuyo x Gin vibe was great too Too bad we have to probably wait another year for next season. |

| Sad episode to finish it off, finally Sadaharu gets hes ep! I wish this season had random episodes than the serious arcs as awesome as they were. Also not enough Katsura and Hasegawa:( The MOVIE!! I am sure they will announce another season after the movie at least. Gintama FOREVER!!! 10/10 |
| Really Gintama like ending for this season, damn, only Gintama can make a story about 2 dogs so serious and touching imo :) I'm willing to wait 9 months or a year but they do have to announce a new season at some point, guess I'll re-watch some old episodes/arcs or read the manga version of these arcs. 10/10, I loved every episode and I really liked the more serious tone for a change. |
| Interesting way to end another series xD Oh well another fully enjoyable gintama series.. 10/10 for sure ^^ |
 |
| through this season i found myself crying all the time. so many touching scenes... i guess i really adore this anime. overall another masterpiece season (although very short) <3 i really hope new series will be out soon because i can't live without Gintama. and i seriously mean it. :( |
| 私の力はあなたの理解を超えています |
| So cute, i love dogs... |
 |
| is this realy the episode 13? sadaharu with the puppy? i still remeber this scene from past gintama episode!? |
     |
| Don't be stupid, Gintama had better not end with Sadaharu in a cage!!!!! |
| Hilarious and touching at the same time. Only Gintama can do that for me lately. |
 |
| A really nice way to end the season. Can't wait for the movie.. |
| Don't know what to do next after watching gintama T_T .... 10/10 |
 |
| Watching this seasons Gintama reminded me of how great Gintama is. And I hope they would still continue after the movie. |
| So much packed in a few episodes. I want more! |
 |
| I don't get why they only aired the main story arcs and not all the in between arc chapters. There where some hilarious chapters that they skipped. Pretty stupid to only air the arcs if you ask me. They should have done the same thing they did with Gintama'. I don't know why they are taking this direction with the series. I'd understand breaking so that the manga has a chance to turn out more chapters. But going back only to animate main arcs and padding everything with re-runs is kinda retarded. Why not pad it with the padding that's already written in the manga. I guess they had a really low budget this season, and/or felt like cutting corners and only animating arcs. |
 |
| For once Gintama ended off with a proper episode! While it wasn't a too huge bang to end everything it sure was nice and slightly emotional! In general this third season of Gintama while way smaller was way better than anything we've seen before! I really enjoyed this whole thing and I must say because it's that short they had less time to fuck things up and even with this good ending ontop of it I'll give this a 9/10! Lets see what the new movie of Gintama will bring us, and perhaps in the future a new season? |
