Synopsis

While Gintoki Sakata was away, the Yorozuya found themselves a new leader: Kintoki, Gintoki's golden-haired doppelganger. In order to regain his former position, Gintoki will need the help of those around him, a troubling feat when no one can remember him! Between Kintoki and Gintoki, who will claim the throne as the main character?

In addition, Yorozuya make a trip back down to red-light district of Yoshiwara to aid an elderly courtesan in her search for her long-lost lover. Although the district is no longer in chains beneath the earth's surface, the trio soon learn of the tragic backstories of Yoshiwara's inhabitants that still haunt them. With flashback after flashback, this quest has Yorozuya witnessing everlasting love and protecting it as best they can with their hearts and souls.

Title: Gintama: The Ultimate Anime That Redefines Shonen and Comedy
Score: 10/10
Review:
Gintama is a masterpiece that deserves its place at the pinnacle of anime. Created by Hideaki Sorachi, this series (and its multiple seasons, OVAs, and films) is a genre-defying rollercoaster that blends gut-busting comedy, heart-pounding action, and tear-jerking drama in a way no other anime can match. After watching all 367 episodes, Gintama: The Final movie, and revisiting arcs like Benizakura and Silver Soul, I can confidently say this is the most rewatchable, versatile, and emotionally resonant anime I’ve ever experienced.Story (9/10): Gintama’s premise—an alternate Edo Japan invaded by aliens, centered on the slacker samurai ...

This is, in my opinion, the best Gintama offered up until now. There are 3 arcs and a standalone episode.

The first arc is surprisingly deep, with a very fun premise and a meaningful advancement on the core themes of this anime.

The second arc sees some of the pieces that were established so early on finally start to take their place in preparation for the last stretch within a very well-developed narrative within the arc and a touching conclusion.

The third arc is plain fun. It manages light-hearted jokes, well choreographed fights and reaching for seemingly forgotten aspects of the overall story.

If you've been liking Gintama, ...
