The Kintoki and Obiwan arcs were awesome. Sadaharu is one tough dog. Pretty touching episode too. Back to reading the manga again.

That was a nice ending! Much better than original show had. It seems they've learned something.

I so felt the reference to Grave of the Fireflies.


Looking forward to more Yorozuya, hopefully already in fall or winter season! Pls?

This episode was making me tear up. Seeing the dog lie still with the flies buzzing around made me think the worst, but I'm happy it ended well. Gintoki always comes through, and Sadaharu taking care of it all episode long was sweet.

Really gonna miss Gintama now, considering I marathon'd about 160 episodes over the last 12 days or so. There's still the film to watch but then I'll be waiting for the inevitable (or so I hope) new season.

omfg... Shinsengumi going crazy over a puppy LOL. Sougo tho ;v; He was so nice, he couldn't leave Sadaharu alone.
Zura on standby LMAOOOOO. It was so expected, but still so hilarious. Frick.

But wtf? Sadaharu was left in that cage?
Gin-chan was able to open the stray's cage though.

For those who think Sadaharu has left Yorozuya because he was in a cage or it wasn't a good ending because he was in a cage, you gotta remember that they were in an animal hospital! The other dog was taken out of the hospital because the family probably had enough money to do so but Sadaharu was malnourished and, as usual, our favorite trio doesn't have enough to take Sadaharu so he's gotta stay there for abit, logically. Just gotta use your common sense guys x)

Cute episode focusing on Sadaharu,it was so adorable when he started taking care of the little puppy.

Glad the little puppy was adopted/found a home ;___;

As for this season same as the previous two Gintama 7/10.
[size=50]Maybe Gintama° will finally be an 8/10,but for now I'll watch the movie sequel to this.

Oh shit fuck, I really thought they were going for the ''dead dog drama'' thing. Pffffiou, day is saved. I was sweating when it was looking like he wasn't breathing anymore D:
We knew that Sadaharu wouldn't die, but the other cute dog, I wasn't so sure.

It was a cute, but so damn moody last episode. Welp, up to the movie, now! Or before the OVA! MORE GINTAMA, PLS.

Well, at least they confronted the fact that Zura was inexplicably missing throughout the SagaSaga arc.

This episode is the most heartwarming episode in these 13 episodes, plus, it's about Sadaharu!

Honestly, although this season was very short in comparison to the rest, I think it's my favorite. I honestly loved all the arcs and the episodes. Sadaharu's episode had me crying like I haven't in a long time. Thank you Gintama <3

Was this really only a single episode. Somehow it felt much more than this. I really expected the last episode to be full of gags and random rumbling about season ending again and yet the last ep was this greatness.

Generally this whole season was full of great arc. I mean I at least thought that when the show started the parody of starwars it will be the gag arc (which I also like very much) but no it was another greatness over greatness.

I usually don't like to give ten to two different seasons of the same series and simply give it to the original first season but I simply can't not do that in this case.

Brilliant way to end the third season with a very touching Sadaharu themed episode. Sake was literally running out from my eyes for a second because I thought the small puppy died :( I'm very HAPPY that it ended on a positive note, seeing Sadaharu crying almost broke my heart. Take a bow Gintoki.

Gintoki is a real bro and perhaps the best father figure in any anime or fiction even, the effort he putted in to take care of Sadaharu, Kagura and Shinpachi speaks for itself. The amount of respect I have for Gintoki is insurmountable, and that is why he is my favourite anime character of all time.

While this season wasn't as great as the last two, I enjoyed this one alot as well. Gintama is a fantastic series that keeps on delivering every single seasons.

8/10 for Enchousen.

Oh my God.. this is was the last episode so I thought to myself what's Gintama gonna do to make this show memorable. Then they went on and delivered this masterpiece of an episode.

When Sadaharu was struggling to find ways to get fish and feed the puppy I just cried man. It reminded me so much of The Grave of the Fireflies. Another awesome movie right there I might add. When the siblings made camp out in the woods and the older brother was trying really hard to find whatever that is edible to feed himself and his little sister. His frail, cute, and God-sent little sister... What happened to Sadaharu and that puppy in this episode was very similar to that. Maybe they got the idea from it, I don't know. I'm just so damn happy that puppy survived and found home.

Thanks Gintama. Now I'll go help myself with the next season.

Man, this episode left a really bad taste in my mouth. Yeah, everything ended well, but cmon Gintoki, did you really have to be such a massive asshole about it (the shiteating grin didn't help either)? Making Sadaharu nearly starve to death and think that his little friend died just to teach him a lesson? That's low, man.

Overall i think the season is fine but I liked the first two seasons better.
I like Stand alone episodes more than Arcs in Gintama, they deliver a better comedy imo.

Welp. I just finished Enchousen in a day. This is probably the most fun I've had watching Gintama, not necessarily just the comedy or action, but overall which really says something. I think it's safe to say at this point Gintama has proudly earned a spot in my favorites. 10/10.

LOL Zura's appearance😂 Indeed I was expecting his appearance during that arc but he didnt even make as much as a second in that whole arc and that was surprising!

Nice to see an episode on Sadaharu. Seems like he did learn something and hopefully appreciate his family more :D


Ahh it's the end of the Enchousen season. It's so short and yet so good! Now going on to the next one...damn I dont want to catch up until the latest one available because the wait is going to be all the more torturous TT_____TT

i cried inside when katsura admitted how he deserved to be in that arc, since it had something to do with "shoyo sensei"
seriously.. :/ my only qualm about gintama is this, it even make katsura admit how badly he wants and deserves to be some serious arcs, but most of the time its like sorachi forgets about him.. sigh ._.
its pretty cruel considering the truth about katsura's feelings.. itd be fine if he had no relation with shoyo or if he wasnt part of the shoyo 3...

during my first watch i was too distracted by the newness of it all to notice this, but on my rewatch seeing katsura left out like this, just really sucks ._. benizakura showed part of just how much he values shoyo, that its practically the same as takasugi's. then while katsura is on stand by that last arc, it shows how he was there with the decapitated head of shoyo, with the 3 of them, but its only gintoki and takasugi that gets a role in the arc.

then we see how in ways, he was much closer to gintoki than takasugi in the past as well, again another reason why he deserves to be there when gin is in trouble.

i just wish sorachi didnt create ties between katsura and all these main plots, if he was just going to be used as a gag character and discarded for serious arcs :/

even kondo, a person much further away from main plot and more gag role, has more screen time and involvement in arcs... idk, maybe sorachi is worried katsura might overshine the MC or something, it just makes no sense

i know this was a heartwarming ep with comedy but seriously... this part really killed me about katsura, i wouldve posted this sooner had i found out this thread during my first watch, ages ago xD


aside from this, this episode was beautiful and one my favorite gintama eps, the feels were really good

Good god that episode made me feel too many feels....ugh....I about cried...

Anyway, good season....I would have liked to see more funny episodes rather than serious arcs. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the serious arcs in this anime, but it's the funny episodes that got me to love this anime in the first place.

9/10

Ready to watch the movie, and then continue on with this wonderful anime.

So with that episode about Sadaharu the season ends. I'm so amazed, it's the third season and there's absolute no qualitiy drop. It got even better.

The arcs in Enchousen were awesome and I really loved them, especially because compared to the last 2 seasons these arcs had a more serious note. Also we heard and saw even if it was just a little bit more of Gintokis past (his sensei). I'm curious how much more they will show in the movie.

All these ideas they have are so different and unique from what you see in any other anime. The mix of comedy, action, sadness is just perfect. So this season also gets an easy 10/10! :)

Enjoyed this ep - some very sweet, touching moments, but mixed with plenty of laughs, too. Hijikata & his mayonnaise - bleaagghh, lolol. Sacchan - wtf? Hahahaha.
Zura (sorry - I mean Katsura), still hiding for kick the can - that was freaking hilarious! I love how this show always makes fun of itself! It knows the things fans are going to question, & calls itself out on them.
Overall, this was a wonderful season. The 3 arcs were top-notch, especially the Courtesan arc, which is my favorite to-date.
Gintoki Sakata has also solidified himself as my favorite anime character of all.
Time now for the movie & maybe catch up on some OVAs!
I will be heartbroken when this show really does end.

What the fuck, Gintama. I expected a funny episode after the preview last time and this is what I get? I wasn't ready for this at all. Sadaharu better come back. I'll be pretty sad and upset if that's how they get rid of that character. This was a touching episode. Glad the puppy made it out alive. And thus concludes Gintama': Enchousen. Now it's time for the movie that "ends" Gintama.

FFS Gintama, you can't do me like that.
That was heartbreaking until the end, I knew Gin would never be able to harm Sadaharu or the puppy but I really did have doubts there ...

Fantastic season though!
