Similar to the hot pot episode back in the first series, I liked the hot pot one more.

This is one of my favorite episodes of Gintama period. It was intense, funny, and concise. Pretty much perfect in execution.

Man, that whole episode was so fucking hilarious. It reminded me of the pot party episode from the first season xD

Well that was something... what a simple dinner has been turned to something like that. hahah that's awesome but this is gintama. They could do better than that. It's a tad boring.

These hot pots aren't the best type of episodes, but they are really fun overall. Although, this one had a distinct lack of Zura.

Not as good as the food wars in the first season, but I really enjoyed this one as well... eating crabs were never a serious business xDD. Inb4 Gintama.

This episode was a lot like Episode 25 of Gintama, with all that Death Note atmosphere. Not as good as 25 though.

4/5

I think I will never understand how Gintama made such episodes. It was about a crab and it was like an super dramatic action loaded episode, especially with all this nice music in the background :D

I had never eat a crab before but this made me want to eat one!

I found the first part, when the lights kept going out, to be quite funny. Half expected them to be telling the truth about the “gorilla” & have Kondou show up, LOL. The whole “war” thing was a bit over the top, but whatevs, still enjoyable.

Kinda funny at the beginnign but I don't like these episodes when they spent the whole episode on what each character might or not have plotted against each other.

That was boring and unfunny. I didn't like the original cooking pot episode as much as everyone else, though it was still good. This just sucked. Poor Shinpachi.

previews didn't lie... this was a sequel episode to my favorite one of the entire series, and it means something, because there so many runner-ups almost on the same level of 25.

It's amazing that my wish to watch a follow-up of it came true, even if it was pretty much impossible for it to reach the same amount of laughs, probably one of the reasons was that this time Yorozuya did it all by themselves without guests. But i still laughed hard for the entire runtime, starting with the useless wars for crabs meat and the god of them, or Shinpachi pointing out the absurdity of it all or keeping a -_- face when silent.

"Staff, is this a blackout or are you tired after 4 devas arc?" "No, this chapter is in the manga as well"

Kagura with that giant claws instead of arms in Shinpachi's imagination was sooooooooo amusing

so, we switched from nabe shogun to princess crabmeat... ok. But Gintoki, come on... did you still underestimate Kagura? Did you learn anything from episode 25?

Poor Shinpachi, he still lost all the good parts. Somewhat boring episode, I always found these fighting over the food episodes just ok.
