THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So it begins, the 1st episode of Shogun Assassination Arc.

Those busha scenes tho, some scenes were fun but the last part stole the spotlight, Shogun sama's head!!!!

Amazing animation change on the OP and some on the ED. Hype for next episode!! Okita vs Kamui!!

Shogun Assassination Arc begins! Half of what they showed in the PV has shown. Yes, a little more comedy... savor it!!! Shadow juice squirt! Takasugi and Kamui appears! Lol at Yorozuya being the double. Zenzo got the Shogun's head! People who didn't read the manga are like wtf right now! Two chapters adapted so far. Also, some badass changes has been made to the OP (Hell, even the eye-catches changed after 9 years, lol!). Next week: Kamui vs. Sougo

GOOD, GOOD, THEY CHANGED THE OPENING A BIT.

KAMUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
TAKASUGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Lol @ Yorozuya trio being the doubles.

Wow, they really ended it on THAT bit, huh.... anime-only fans are in for one hell of a ride. Well so are the manga readers but to a lesser extent...

OMFG NEXT EPISODE SOUGO VS KAMUI. This'll be great.

Man I love how the mood has completely changed this arc yet the good ol' Gintama comedy is still there.

Man, this is so hype. Earliest I ever bothered to watch an episode of Gintama.

The fact that all 3 of Yorozuya are inside the carriage being Shogun doubles and trolling Toshi & Gorilla was just hilarious.

Oh shit, Zenzo... what'd you do...

Very strong start.

Classic Gintama humor was great as always. Kondo/Hijikata shitting their pants was hilarious!

Ending was extremely unexpected. Did he seriously just die? WTF!!

That preview was orgasmic. Sougo hype! My body was never ready for this arc.

That OP doesn't match at all lol. Serious AF images but cheerful song...
Visuals look great tho. And most of the trailer was adapted in this ep so lots of stuff I'm looking forward to now.

Glad that there's still quite a lot of comedy. So many fun moments like

The fake short Shogun.

Hijikata saying "Who the hell let out Toshi juice?" XD

Gin's "Done from Kingdom bring me Terraformars" lol

Hijikata and Kondo almost getting threatened and Gin getting skewered...as usual LMAO

The 2 scenes that shocked me so much were F***N NOBUNOBU GOT REKT O_o I thoughts he'd be something. I ROFL'd SO HARD. Based Kamui and Shinsui.

And ofc the last scene. DAMN! But I still trust Zenzou. Gin seemed to trust him too. There's no way he killed him straight out from the 1st ep of the arc like that! But then how?! What does that scene imply???

And PV Okita vs Kamui HYPU!!!

I thought that they will use another OP for the Shogun arc because it doesn't fit at all.

More spotlight on Zenzo. A BADASS

They should probably keep the same ED though, right? Just because it's a tradition to play the ED with a recap of the arc at the end.

I love how the direction has gotten even more creative visually. The last sequence with the Shogun's head in the air and the blur was perfect. And the soundtrack is fucking amazing. Loved hearing the Kamui theme too.

Yea surprised they didn't change the opening, but at least they added some new scenes to make it more bad ass and fit the arc.

Sougo is about to get rekt next week.

Gintoki reading Kingdom and Terra Formars in Shogun's cabine, he knows what good series are.

Lil Sarutobi is cute.

Also anyone noticed the ED changes, below is for manga readers only.

Shadow juice squirt!

Comedy was top notch, but the seriousness definitely overshadowed it. Damn, Shogun died already... Some serious fights ahead, as two really shady characters make their appearance.

How fucking dare you Gintama leave me with that damn ending, I'm going to just Kill Myself, I mean like WTF.

IT'S ONLY THE FIRST GODDAMN EPISODE OF THE SHOGUN ASSASSINATION "ARC" AND THIS NIGGA DEAD IN THE FIRST EPISODE!?!?! SHOULD BE CALLED THE SHOGUN ASSASSINATION EPISODE THEN CALL THE ARC "SHOGUN REDEMPTION ARC'.


Other than that comedy was good as always, OP, ED and Preview were hype.
"There comes a time.... when a real man must stay and fight.... When a true friend's dream... is laughed at by someone.... Luffy is not dead, he's going to be the Pirate King someday I know he will!!!..... and that is one thing I will never let you laugh at! NEVER!" ~Usopp

5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

1. That modified OP was fucking insane. Orgasmed harder than Yorozuya did in the latest Jump Festa.

2. Sacchan looked hot af in the supermarket.

3. Kamui king hitting Nobu Nobu was priceless. So random. So epic. And then his conversing with Takasugi was even better. BrOTP.

3. I thought it'd be a serious atmosphere the entire 24 minutes, but the comedy was freaking hilarious. So this arc also started off the traditional.

4. Damn you Gintoki, I'm halfway through Kingdom, should've waited!

5. So glad the two things I was spoiled on happened this episode (the panel of Zenzo beheading the Shogun & Okita fighting Kamui). Now I have no clue what's going to happen.

6. Why in the bluest of all hell is Shouyou Sensei in the villain sequence of the ED?! My God.

People on this thread jumping to conclusions too fast, just w8 for the next episode.

Anyway as a manga reader i pretty much know what was going to happen and what will happen in next episodes but I have to say that today's episode was brilliant, i really loved it. I am so hyped for this arc because Gintama never disappoints with its adaptation. Just wait people u are in for the most epic arc yet.

That his head would roll was hinted a lot coming to the last scene of this episode. Watch the previous 299 episodes and you'd have probably seen it coming.

Personally I would prefer that they return for the comedic episodes for a while after this arc, there is still a lots of them left that should be animated xf
