-Oh damn, the opening sequence was driving me nuts. I was laughing soooooo hard. I mean, wow, Gintama has made me laugh hard before but that just left me on the floor gasping for breath because I couldn't stop laughing.

"THE LAND OF THE SAMURAI! OUR COUNTRY WAS CALLED THAT A LONG TIME AGO!"
"That's not what I meant by read the manga!"

I probably watched it like 4 times before I was done laughing. I was even singing "Ai wo Torimodose" with it even though it wasn't actually the real song.

-And as for the $5 OP song looking like something from adult swim's Home Movies, well that's just a new level of comedy that no other anime/manga will ever reach

-Kondo cosplaying as Kagura is a vile image that shall never leave my mind but thank you Kondo. Thank you for bringing up what I was questioning last week about "why the hell is Takasugi 4th?" He's hasn't seriously done anything. And you know what, same with Kagura's brother. I mena, he just showed up and he's 7th. How do these polls work? :P

-Loved Sadaharu beating the crap out of Elizabeth.

-I seriously went OH CRAP when I saw the girls walking toward Tsukuyo but I didn't expect them to become "Vacuum."

Hokuto no Ken parody + OP made in Paint + Sadaharu + Cosplayers + Lots of laughter = 5/5 A perfect example of a flawless anime episode.

what made this episode even better was that when I was in Japan over the summer, I picked up an issue of jump and this chapter of Gintama was in it! its amazing, it only took about 4 months to go from manga to anime!

ps. I effing love this show!

Yeah, that's the best OP I've ever seen XD I was laughing every second of witnessing it XD

Sadaharu punching Elizabeth was more funnier here in the anime than in the manga.

Every second of this episode was just LOLZ!!!! The reason why Gintama is the best...
This is a signature.

Wow, character popularity arc is made of total comedy.
Did cute little Sadaharu kill Elisabeth in the end? - Hopefully.
Perfume is completely harmless - don't know why they named those bloodthirsty monsters in female disguise after them.

Finally caught up to date with Gintama and lets see If I'm able to post here with each weekly episode release.

Wonderfully hilarious episode, I think we could all agree Sadaharu beating Elizabeth to a pulp wasn't near as frightening as Kondo's cross dressing.

More Kyubei screen time put a smile on my face these past two episodes, look forward to the next.

OMFG... one of the best Opening Themes in the entire history of anime!!

Goddamnit i was crying 1/2 way through the opening credits. "I just saw two mascots in a bloody battle for supremacy." HAHAHAHAHAHAH Saddaharu owning Elizabeth, didn't expect that one to happen at all.

YAKUZA trick! I wouldn't laugh so hard if i havent been playing Yakuza 3 on the PS3. Tsukyo sama ripping that rank off her head was so priceless. She's so awesome, trying to share the 9th rank with the other btches. She is definitely awesome beyond words. Tama-sama going to appear!!

It is a real shame there isn't that many posts in gintama... really should be more popular than it is. When is

"What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us.

The Cosplayers stating why Kamui and Takasugi are in the top 10 is just hilarious.

And what nearly killed me is Sadaharu pwning Elizabeth with some bloodshed. ROFLMAO

Also, Tsukuyo in another clothes <3

This may just be the funniest, most self aware arc i've ever seen in anything ever! The Microsoft Paint OP was hilarious and having all our favorite characters team up against eachother? It's too good for words to describe xD

I'm also happy that they didn't drag the two best and meanest villains into the fray for a quick laugh because that would seriously devalue their menacing presence. (or lack thereof) That's the power these two have, Kamui and Takasugi: They don't even need to appear very often to let us know that they're out there, ready to go in for the kill at any moment!

...What the hell happened to you Hasegawa-san?! That guy (like Yamazaki) can never catch a break xD

Can't say I was all that surprised about Hasagawa's fate. The dude has it so bad. Really funny arc so far. Favorite moment of the episode being Sadaharu punching out Elizabeth.

What a crazy arc... R.I.P Hasegawa, I don't know why you were eliminated, but you were destined to end up in such a position, as a madao :/

Tae way to get higher was sneakily hilarious. With Kagura on their side, the Diamond Perfume will know no limits.

Kondo and Hasegawa were really pathetic, going to the point of cosplaying x)
Also, Sadaharu was really slaughtering Elizabeth. I hope she's fine :O

I never though that a MSPaint animation could be so amazing. But once again Gintama has proved me wrong.

Also, Sadaharu punching Lizzie made my day.
