oh my god this episode was just beautiful :'(

Otose was the old man's crush?what happened to her?

i mean she's still a great person for taking care of gintoki and co,but still she looks completely different,smoking and having a "tired of life" atitude

oh well,that's too bad ;(,but i know she's a great character :-)

5/5

Was shocking to find out that Otose was a kind heart girl when she was young, but i guess it makes sense since she allows Gintoki to live above her when he is always late with the rent.

For some reason I just can't take serious the drama in Gintama. But the "strawberry milk"-speech was nonetheless epic!

I love the references to other anime in Gintama (just remember Kino's Journey from this episode but there were also some others..) - makes it much more funny xD
It's the perfect anime to watch when you don't know what to watch (or just want to laugh) :D

If Bleach was a comedy rather than a serious show, I wonder if they would have referenced Gintama as much as Gintama references Bleach. I don't recall anything from watching Bleach that has any crossovers from Gintama, but this episode had a crossover with Ichigo, as did the first episode...well at the beginning before the show actually started

If your real name is ayano why doesnt it begin with battleship? I don't get that >.> is it some japanese pun that i need to understand the language to get?

I still found it funny because i put it down to kagura being random again.

LOL at that rapping...

This show is hilarious so far, can't wait to see what's in store for me :P i also hear that it can get really serious and when it does it' amazing :D NO SPOILS THOUGH

STRAWBERRY MILK!

The doctor's "uplifting march" made me laugh hard.

And I knew immediately when the old man said that Ayano owned a snack shop, he was talking about Gin's landlady.

mates this was a relatively touching episode but it wasn't that powerful.

There were references in this episode? I guess I didn't get a single one of them lol.

Eh.

Finally got a reaction out of me. I smirked when Gintoki slapped the old man. Good job taking a ridiculous amount of time to get even a mild reaction out of me.

Series Laughs: 0. Can’t wait until I get 57 episodes into this when this show finally becomes palatable. This truly is 5 of the 10 greatest anime ever.
