OMG, so sad. Cried a little (a lot) for switch.. I would probably react the same way if my younger bro died too. I feel for him. After seeing that episode I jsut cant get into the mindset where I see Switch kun as this funny, know-it-all, hacker, genius that has no problems in life in a fun carefree anime...I dont believe that he's gotten over the fact that the real switch passed away and I think hes been punishing himself since then. If you watch the last few seconds of the anime ep. you can see that he isnt really smiling when he looks back at his friends, or at least not like he does in the current anime opening on that hill. He'll need to finally let go for that to happen and im guessing Mr. Epic Goggles (Bossun) will be there for him at that time. So itll probably get really dramatic again at some point in this anime series. Not that I mind these episode. It nice for an anime to have variety in it, right?

This episode is one of the best they've done (and probably the best among them all). The story is told well and it was able to stir up emotions in me. (Yes, it was sad and depressing, up to the point when I wanted to cry).

Sket Dance, I'm loving it more. <3

my oh my for these past two episodes, I felt like I wasnt watching set dance at all! but good stuff nonetheless. also, I hope they dont troll us with this, but I feel that all 3 main characters have their own story to tell and that's what has made them the way they are now :)

Good ep! (though a bit cliched at times)

I wouldn't expect that after all that has happened he would stop speaking by his own choice (I thought it would be a bit more psychological, i.e. him finding himself unable to speak because of the guilt he has to bear).

This episode was sad, but since last episode I was thinking something awful must of happened for Current Switch to look like his little brother, and I was sadly right : (

I never thought they'd kill of his little brother. It was a good episode though.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

i knew someone was gonna die from episode 24 but i never saw it coming that in fact it would be switch himself! :O but i loved it soo much i mean these moments are sad but its things like this that make me love anime, the fact that they are not afraid to show life is a bitch sometimes and is not always happy endings

omfreaking god that was an awesome plot twist
I guess Sket Dance really do have some serious arcs from time to time
I really teared up when Kazuyoshi cried on his bed omg T___T
I felt sorry for both Switch and Kazuyoshi (more towards Kazuyoshi because it the root of Switch's death is his jealousy)

hmm great stuff and character development ;D That's some heavy arc there~ I thought the little brother was Usui when he was young when I first saw him, but I was wrong. So that's what happened~

And the voice acting done by Tomokazu Sugita and Kakihara Tetsuya (the little brother) is very... how do I put it.. brotherly-like too :D It's like both of their voices are meant for brother characters xD Probably I'm playing too much BlazBlue but still :p

The episode was really awesome, it was really sad and not in the SKET Dance style, but I really loved it <3 I was really surprised that someone like Switch had that kind of past, now I love him even more, he's definitely my favourite character in the anime (Soujirou and Date are next to him xD)...
And yeah, I even raised the score because of the last 2 episodes xD

Dear christ I cannot believe an episode of SKET Dance made me cry so much.

These 2 episodes were probably the best in the entire series. I'm never gonna be able to look at Switch again without getting depressed. Man...way to upset me today, SKET...

5/5

And like some people I also thought the older brother died and the younger used his voice as a memento of sorts. Who knew..

Oh my god I wanna cry! ;____;

That was so sad....V____V

Its amazing how this funny, silly, and crazy shounen anime was able to make such a deep and sad and emotional episode! ;___;

THIS SHOW IS AMAZING!!!!!!! V____V

and damn....*tears*
THIS WAS SO SAD!!! T______T


and thinking about the whole show overall, I think its wonderful that "Switch" is able to smile and have fun with Bossun and Onihime after all he has been through.. ;-;

After the episode was over, I literally sat here in my chair saying "wow.." over and over. I haven't started the manga yet (which I should) so I didn't see this coming. I was completely mind blown to say the least and Switch is my favorite character in the show too so that added a lot more "Oh my God" to the reaction. I was simply speechless.

Sad episode, I don't believe any "Gintama" episodes are sad and depressing as this episode origin of how Switch got his nickname. What frustrate me, is how he freaked out his mother and would be girlfriend.

I find the stalker boyfriend to be the biggest douche here, because there is another prettier girl, he wants to ditch her, not that I am defending the crazy girl either. I know Switch is blaming himself for his brother's death, but its life and there's no "what ifs". ARRHH, now I want Switch to act like his old self, instead of how he is regularly...

The origin arcs of the main 3.. the most depressing is Switch > Hime > Bossuan.

Why wasn't I moved by that?
Is it because the background music was rather weak?
Or was it because the episode felt rushed.
Still that futile confession was pretty sad, but not enough to stir my heart.

I couldn't get it out of the back of my head that switch was just making up his "story", so I didn't really enjoy it as much as I should have. I don't know about being all about comedy then suddenly switching to heavy drama, that just makes me think that the heavy drama is actually a long drawn out joke/troll.
