THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I just wasn't feeling this episode, after 13-20 amazing eps in a row.

Part A was a decent side story, though it felt kind of alittle out of place... The new footage was nice, even though it was mostly setting, and the punchline was easily the best part of this episode.

Part B was almost completely lacking in humour, except for the poses in the middle... The emotion was there, I just wasn't picking it up...

Also, shouldn't this ep have been before the previous one? As that was at the end of summer vacation, and this was originally at the start, and there was even a reference to it in the previous episode... Nice planning.

If I'm not mistaken, no ep next week.

EDIT: I think theres a new ed next ep, will be glad to see this one go... Qwai should do a good job.

The first part was awesome and i liked it even before the Gundam punchline.
The second part was funny, but i didn't enjoy it as much.

I think that's it for this year.

A part was funny even just listening to the narrator of gundam talk with piccolo XD
The voice part sort of gave me an idea of what the punchline would be but it still made me laugh hard


B part made me actually cry when Kagura was crying in the rain by herself and everyone came to the radio exercise.


Grats to Gundam for its 30th anniversary!

I enjoyed the whole episode.Yes,i did ;]

Part A:I thought they were finally going to tell us about Gintoki's past but when the scene showed a Gundam,i LOLED ^-^It was a huge let down but the humor covered it up ;)

Part B:It was a touching episode and i almost cried^^Gintoki is being an adult again just like the episode where he bought Kagura an umbrella :)Love it when Kagura blushed.She's cute ^-^I want to see the boy being healthy again :( It was a horrible ending :((

Will there be an episode next week?

I loved the first part. Hahaha Gundam XD
What's with Gintama making me cry lately?! It was really touching, Kagura was really cute especially when she blushed. And when she started crying and Gintoki became an adult, it was adorable. ^.^

LOL at the first part. Was expecting something awesomeness their but a different kind of awesomeness was put at the end XDDD

Second part was very emotional and not much comedy there.

Next episode will be a new arc. LOL this will be funny XDDD

A very heartwarming episode. Well, the second half at least. I love a bit of dramatic Gintama every now and then. It was also hilarious when the main characters were instructing the exercise. Katsura's and Sa-chan's were the best.

"Smack me! Ahhh! Smack me all you want!"

Also, was this episode supposed to have bold pink subtitles?

so A part is very funny for me,even before the expected punchline



ah thanks I haven't watched Gundam.

The first part was kinda cool with a funny ending.

The second part was....well I guess you have to be in the mood for it, but I found it pretty touching. Kagura <3

The exercises were hilarious especially sachan.

Wow... 189 episodes later i realize, that The Amanto's represent Western Civilization and the Anti-Foreigners represent the Samurais.

A few episodes back they introduced guns into the battles... Wow i keep forgetting this is a very loosely based history lesson. Pretty interesting. Sort of feel stupid not realizing it, but how can you when their space ships and bodies look weird.

Kagura's alligator tears hit me hard. That story is used a million times over, but it always get to me every time no matter what anime its in. It doesn't help that Tsungimiya is at the helm of said emo story. Thats why i love this show so much, you can laugh your hardest in one episode, and cry your hardest the next.

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

I liked the second part, nice to see Kagura getting a friend :) I lolled at the training with all the people (gin, otae etc) and the end with all of them training was really nice of them ^^

Anime fans generally don't like depressing things, but the second part with Kagura I believe was one of the greatest episodes I've seen with her! It showed a completely different side that you generally don't get to see, and it also revealed the more adult side of Gintoki.

All in all, a very awesome episode :)

The first part got me trolled. xD
I was like "Whoa! White Devil Gintoki
but when it showed the laser sword, I was like "Wait. What?" but when it revealed it was Gundam, I died. xD

The second part was also good. Serious moments but still can managed to crack up some funny scenes. Kagura blushing is <3!

Remember when Kagura told the boy that it wouldn't stop raining till he came back? Well, at the end, Kagura said that it had stopped raining. I'm guessing that he survived.

The first part was awesome because it talked about the Amanto war! (with a funny twist)

The second part was awesome because it focused on Kagura and featured hilarious cameos by the regulars! (Best were Katsura and Sachan)

All in all, awesome episode!

I agree with you on part B. It was a cute an emotional part.
more Kaguraness! :)

Part A I actually thought it would be a serious episode, lmao, and they came up with that robot. I didn't know what it was about, but the subtitles/notes made it clear.

This has to be one of my favorite Gintama episodes.
The 1st part was hilarious.I expected the person being talked about to turn out not being Gintoki,but I didn't see that one coming.
The 2nd part-which I liked more-was very emotional and one of the most beautiful I have seen in Gintama.I just loved everything about it,mostly seeing that side of Kagura and Gintoki and the rest training with her at the end,it was very sweet :) and it was just very well done,how the time passed while they were training,it was done very nicely.
