According to AT-X channel, the airing of Gintama' episode 232 on the channel was canceled in response to the request by TV Tokyo, one of the producers of the anime. The episode was aired on TV Tokyo on October 31st.

Director Takamatsu Shinji tweeted that the episode was repeatedly rejected by TV Tokyo due to the inappropriate contents of the episode and the program data of the episode was submitted to the TV channel on the airing day. Takamatsu said "If Gintama anime cannot remain to be 'Gintama', we should rather stop airing it on TV than air something not 'Gintama'. I believe such a day won't come."

In the episode, they have joked Renho, one of the Cabinet ministers, and Ad Council Japan.

Sources: AT-X, Takamatsu's tweet

Update Nov 14th
TV Tokyo replied to the inquiry of an online media that the airing of the episode was canceled because there was a description which can be associated with a specific person. They refused to answer if there was a protest from the person.

Update Nov 18th
Takamatsu Shinji tweeted that TV Tokyo decided to cancel the airing on its own and nobody has protested against the contents.

If this was in America it would be business as usual. US Politicians are ridiculed everyday in late night TV such as Letterman, Craig Ferguson and Leno.

A little harsh Japan, you need humor to survive in this cruel world.

I saw "inappropriate" and stopped reading to see how it could more "inappropriate" than usual and thought that maybe some of the sexual stuff at the end was the cause only to find out it was making fun of a politician ?!

Someone can't take a joke.

Didn't they do nothing but joke about Renho for like 80% of the episode on Ep 230? Wonder why they bring this up now.

Honestly though, the portrayal isn't very flattering. I thought that Renho was a dude the whole time until I looked her up on Wikipedia afterwards

Inappropriate content, my ass. It's only "inappropriate" if you don't like it. Flip the channel or cover your eyes. End of story.

I wanna read Hideaki Sorachi-sensei's thoughts on this.

That includes the first series with 201 eps.

Current series (Gintama') has already aired 32 eps as of now and ep 31 is the episode this topic is referring to.

It might be me but, what i got from first post is that the episode was repeatedly rejected by TV Tokyo but was aired on 31th October yet banned on AT-X due to a request by TV Tokyo.
Topic title says something else though.
