Uhuhuwahaha!!!
The (seemingly) eternal 2 week wait for this episode was worth it!! As always!!! T.T

A new opening sequence with a great song... my mouth started watering the first few seconds~
I have to say, the opening and closing animations were not spectacular, but maybe I'm just spoiled because the last one was absolutely fantastic.

Gintama returns in full-swing with a host club! What a dillema! And Gin-chan being so swave... how nauseatingly wonderful!! ehehehehe This episode had so many great moments, as usual!

GINTAMA... I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR LEVELED-UP RETURN!!!! I'M WAITING FOR YOU... KINTAMA!!!!!?!!

For the rest of you waiting with me... GO READ GINTAMA NOW!! (start at 372 where the anime left off)
And everyone else, GO WATCH GINTAMA!! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!!

Don't know why but I absolutely loved the new opening, the song was very good and visually it was so well chosen. I kept feeling shivers down my spine during the first time I watched it! It worked wonderfully in so many ways. I've watched it like 10 times already and can't get enough. Maybe it's just me but one of the best OPs Gintama's ever had. The ending was simple but pleasant.

Sougo's bits were hilarious in this episode. I couldn't stop laughing when he was telling 2 girls at the same time "You alone are special.".

I'm surprised Gin-san brought Madao along (in a cardboard suit!!) I guess he still feels responsible... XDD maybe it took 20 minutes to get him there and they couldn't find his kimono

SOUGO AND HIJI IN SUITSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS NOSEBLEEEEED

I about died when they talked about Sorachi's drawing skills and Sakaguchi Daisuke's name came up... 4th wall? what is that even??! XD

God, this show, I can't. most epic anime everrrrrr

I love Gintama so much! The opening is great. The ending gathered all the important characters from previous arcs. That seemed ominous. Watch out for episode 243 (Gintama' 42) in 2 weeks time. I have reasons to believe It might have a small '10' hidden in the episode title. I hope you do get what that would imply. T_T

For time time being, let's just do it! "Girls like Vegeta, guys like Piccolo." Absolutely fantastic episode :D

Bwahahaa, so funny episode. Can't really wait for the next one. It's actually funny to see Madao in a cardboardbox suit, which even suits him.

So, next episode sounds already good. :D Girls like Vegeta, guys like Piccolo. Lol.

Excuse me while I just resist the urge to hug my monitor because sometimes this anime is just so fucking flawless.

Best hosts ever? Best hosts ever.

And awesome seyuus.

And I can never look at Madao and Gin standing next to each other the same way again.

I just loved the Kondo scenes in this episode.

Harley Gorillason
Hostalker (Host car)
"You have to feed him a banana each day and if he's acting slow give him one to hold"
And finally the look on his face when he's presenting himself as host.

Just unbearably funny.

Good opening and the ending...just seeing all those characters made me feel so nostalgic ;). From the looks of it, after this arc (which should finish next episode), would be another serious Shinsengumi arc (I believe that we haven't had one since the Itou arc which was way back in episode 101-105?) Oh and btw, hilarious episode as always (including reference to Shinpachi's seiyuu and *8th place glasses*). For some reason, it seems like Gintama' has been pulling out all the stops with back to back to back arcs which are really great so far (Shogun, harem and now host club).

Love the new opening! And I think I spy little Hiji in it. And new characters for a new arc? :D

Anyway, the episode was hilarious, as expected XD I swear, I seriously couldn't bear the sight of seeing Gin blush. It was too damn adorable ;u; And of course he had to ruin the moment with Hostcar ISAO going VROOM!! lol

I haven't seen the ep yet, but the new opening is pretty awesome, I really like the part with Takasugi and Kamui it looked really cool, (like standing on top of the world together).
And I can't wait for the next arc (haven't read the manga) but it seems like the main villain will be something to look forward to.

I LOVE this episode, it's so funny to see them all trying to swoo girls~~ Gin-san actually did have a heart-throbbing moment untill Kondo came and totally ruined the mood :P

I just knéw the Shinsengumi (especially Hijikata) would come and be included, they're too handsome to ignore haha xD I loved his Dante reference too :D

Ahww I wanna see them in full action with Madame, I'm sure she'll be swayed by one of our lovely hosts XD
