Damn Gintama, almost made me cry again. Sadaharu, you poor little thing. This episode was awesome and so was the season, even though it was a short one, but excellent nevertheless! 10/10 of course.

I'm a bit sad but I'm sure Gintama will return. This Enchousen series was great as expected. However, it would've been nice if there were more random episodes. Still...

However them RUSHING through the serious arcs to catch up with the manga and skipping some comedy arcs makes me wonder if the film really will be the finale of the franchise. There's no other real reason for them to have tried so hard to squeeze in every serious arc possible into these 13 episodes other than that as far as I can think of anyway. Many people have been guessing the Gintama manga would come to a close this year as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if the new film will really be the end of the entire franchise as a whole. I know the title is a parody - but this does NOT mean the movie is going to be a joke, nor does it mean that the title isn't applicable. Actually, the fact it's an obvious parody title makes it seem more like it may be legit and that the 'troll' in this situation is tricking people into assuming it's going to be another 'troll', while really being what it says it is. Gintama does have to end some day, and with where it's at currently I wouldn't be surprised if that some day was very soon.


Wait people are saying that they think the manga will end this year? Where, who, and why? Sure the Ikkoku Keisei arc did set up the finale for the future but otherwise it seems like it's business as usual in Gintama. Did Sorachi or someone hint at such a thing? Other than the movie I mean.

I do worry about the movie really might be the end of the series, but...even IF the manga ended this year, that's still a year's worth of material that Sunrise would be throwing away, especially when I heard they've already animated some of the future episodes already (I can't confirm this though). Gintama is too popular to throw away like that.
Anyway, I feel pretty confident this is in line with their usual trolling and actually mean saying good bye, for -now-. Or has some people suggested, the "final chapter" is, on top of being a parody, eluding to saying good bye to Gintoki's past and how he wants to be part of Yorozuya forever.


If its gintama assume you're being trolled until you absolutely 120% proven otherwise and if that happens... Ill start reading sket dance ( ._.)

I'm giving this show a 9/10.

I love the serious arcs, but the blend with the comedic episodes is what makes Gintama a masterpiece anime altogether. Which sadly this season was lacking (I don't include re-runs, since I skipped them).

And if they do plan to make a season four, hopefully it will be in two years time. I reckon thats the best time to continue the anime. Long wait, but it will definitely be worth it.

I can't believe I'm the only one missing Sa-chan... and that sadist mode, which I only saw in the DragonBleaPiece filler episode.

Anyways, it was a great run. Till next time (this fall, hopefully) :D

BTW, awesome episode, as always.

It would be nice episode. But maybe because i was watching gintama in one run (i mean 13 episodes in 3 days :D) this one was worse, no that's wrong. I should say: less great then other episodes this season.

But this season was one of the best, especially second arc. I liked that Shinpachi was more likeable and he isn't such wuss anymore. He also appeared to be strong swordsman, which wasn't so visible before. And Tsukuyo x Gin vibe was great too

Too bad we have to probably wait another year for next season.

I wish this season had random episodes than the serious arcs as awesome as they were. Also not enough Katsura and Hasegawa:(

Really Gintama like ending for this season, damn, only Gintama can make a story about 2 dogs so serious and touching imo :)

I'm willing to wait 9 months or a year but they do have to announce a new season at some point, guess I'll re-watch some old episodes/arcs or read the manga version of these arcs. 10/10, I loved every episode and I really liked the more serious tone for a change.

Ohhh, so that's where Katsura was. I find it unbelievable that this would be the end of the Gintama series. I really do hope a new season will be announced... at the end of the movie, maybe? I have my hopes up.

I don't get why they only aired the main story arcs and not all the in between arc chapters. There where some hilarious chapters that they skipped. Pretty stupid to only air the arcs if you ask me. They should have done the same thing they did with Gintama'. I don't know why they are taking this direction with the series. I'd understand breaking so that the manga has a chance to turn out more chapters. But going back only to animate main arcs and padding everything with re-runs is kinda retarded. Why not pad it with the padding that's already written in the manga. I guess they had a really low budget this season, and/or felt like cutting corners and only animating arcs.

Sadaharuuuuu >3<

That was a really touching and adorable episode. I was wondering when Sadaharu was getting his own episode again, this cant be the last sadaharu ep! D:<

I think when they made this episode the creators werent sure themselves if they were gonna continue the anime that's Gintoki and the crew were bantering about whether or not the anime would continue. Usually they would just joke that the anime will end, period.

I think there is a good chance it's not over yet. It's not like Gintama's been running on steam or has been declining in quality. The anime crew might just need a breather or the manga just needs some time to accumulate material or the producers just need some money. Whatever it is I'm sure Gintama is good enough to always have a chance to add more animation.

I'm excited to see the movie :). I've been looking forward to know about Gintoki's past with their teacher and in the war era since forever!

For once Gintama ended off with a proper episode! While it wasn't a too huge bang to end everything it sure was nice and slightly emotional! In general this third season of Gintama while way smaller was way better than anything we've seen before!

I really enjoyed this whole thing and I must say because it's that short they had less time to fuck things up and even with this good ending ontop of it I'll give this a 9/10!

Lets see what the new movie of Gintama will bring us, and perhaps in the future a new season?

That was a nice ending! Much better than original show had. It seems they've learned something.

I so felt the reference to Grave of the Fireflies.


Looking forward to more Yorozuya, hopefully already in fall or winter season! Pls?

This episode was making me tear up. Seeing the dog lie still with the flies buzzing around made me think the worst, but I'm happy it ended well. Gintoki always comes through, and Sadaharu taking care of it all episode long was sweet.

Really gonna miss Gintama now, considering I marathon'd about 160 episodes over the last 12 days or so. There's still the film to watch but then I'll be waiting for the inevitable (or so I hope) new season.
