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!!!

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.

Ohhh, so that's where Katsura was. I find it unbelievable that this would be the end of the Gintama series. I really do hope a new season will be announced... at the end of the movie, maybe? I have my hopes up.

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.

Sadaharuuuuu >3<

That was a really touching and adorable episode. I was wondering when Sadaharu was getting his own episode again, this cant be the last sadaharu ep! D:<

I think when they made this episode the creators werent sure themselves if they were gonna continue the anime that's Gintoki and the crew were bantering about whether or not the anime would continue. Usually they would just joke that the anime will end, period.

I think there is a good chance it's not over yet. It's not like Gintama's been running on steam or has been declining in quality. The anime crew might just need a breather or the manga just needs some time to accumulate material or the producers just need some money. Whatever it is I'm sure Gintama is good enough to always have a chance to add more animation.

I'm excited to see the movie :). I've been looking forward to know about Gintoki's past with their teacher and in the war era since forever!

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?

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.

But wtf? Sadaharu was left in that cage?

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!

Onto the Movie!

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.
