THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Although based from stupidity, it HAS to be the second saddest episode to date. Love how Gintama appeals to a variety of emotions, and is perfect in almost every genre.

Dude, that actually made my eyes tear up.

Stupidest arc, and yet very intense emotions, through the whole thing.

WOW. Something has GOT to be wrong with me. I never even ONCE got teary-eyed in ANY of the Gintama episodes I've seen so far. And there i was, sobbing uncontrollably watching this episode... I seriously can't believe it. Maybe it's lack of sleep..? xD Whatever the reason, I did very much enjoyed this little.. mini arc thing :)

Hm... For some reason this particular wasn't very sad, funny, or memorable in any way for me...

I guess it should have stuck me as sad though. Next time I watch this episode, I'll be sure to pay better attention. o_o

Man, that was sad.. The logic behind those "Just die already" was very emotional to think

of.. I wanted to cry but tears won't come out :(

Anyway, Zura + Suzanne = Pwnage!!

Sad episode. Gotta say part of what makes this show so great is that (even amidst all the humor) it has some really touching/emotional moments (even in random two-episode arcs).

HAHAA. I was watching this episode and my mom comes in the room and sees, "Die! Die!". I was all *sad face* and there was sad music and she was like "Okaay." xD
Not a line you'd expect to be sad :)

Well, eh. Didn't like the arc much. Really not a fan of pet-owner relationships. That's just me though. And I thought they dragged on the whole "Die first!" thing for too long. It was all sad at first but then I was screaming "DIE!" too by the end. So yeah xD

4/5

I thought it was a pretty crappy arc to be honest. The drama just fell flat for me.

Agreed. I was crying and trying to smile at the same time during the episode. Can't believe an episode like... this... made me cry so much!

I didn't even realize that part, so I had to go watch that part again, it was hilarious.

And yup, that ending made me teary eyed.

This was a rather odd arc, but I liked it. I have to give it to Gintama, it so hard to put into a genre. It's not a comedy, its not a drama, nor is it Science Fiction. It's Gintama, and I love it because of that.

The meaning behind "Die already" was quite touching, and really does make sense...

I like how Gintama can pull up such a stupid story and yet do good and touching drama.

The way they introduced the new parasite and seemed to be preparing an epic battle to finally land on a blown-up doll xD

Kagura was epic again in that episode. Gin-san always come at the good moment :P

That old man was inspiring. Wanting to be the last to die so they would not have to cry :')

It's impressive how Gintama can you make you feel so sad for a dog that wants to destroy the planet and a man that tells everyone to die.
