Synopsis

As the war temporarily calms down and Edo rebuilds, Gintoki finds Shinpachi—who is still unaware of his return—on a bridge. However, as a fight quickly breaks out between the Yorozuya and the Tenshouin Naraku, suspicion grows, forcing Gintoki to use what is nearest—a loincloth—to mask his identity. Saved for the time being, Gintoki enters the Yorozuya office, but unbeknownst to him, someone else is already waiting there...

Meanwhile, Kondou departs Earth to marry Princess Bubbles in an attempt to improve diplomatic relations. After boarding the Gorilla Amanto mother ship, he realizes that he doesn't speak their language. Confused, Kondou tries conversing with them, only to inadvertently gain their support. However, someone associated with the princess crashes the ongoing ceremony. Will the wedding continue, or has Kondou just been saved from becoming the next Gorilla Prince?

Gintama: The Semi Final continues the story just at the bridge scene where Gintoki meets Shinpachi. It was more like the calm before the storm as these episodes provide very little to no progress in the plot. So if you want to experience the same old journey of Gintoki and the others, you have come to the right place.

Both the episodes cover different stories, and both are just filled with humour. While one shows the "So-called" reunion of the Yorozuya, the other one shows epic adventure of Kondo Isao of how he deals with his marriage. The ending message was really painful for any Gintama ...

Mixed Feelings
Between the nosedive Gintama took during the Silver Soul Arc, and the fact that on the (very legal) website where I watch anime, the Semi-Final is the lowest ranked instance of Gintama, even including the most minor entries (although it's still at 4.1/5), the only thing driving me to watch this is sheer completionist spirit. And honestly it was a somewhat positive experience.

It's not quite as bad as the latter half of the Silver Soul Arc, if only because Kondo's second wedding was good fun.

I still despise that epilogue. Having a 2 years time skip where things don't really make sense anymore, so close to ...

This is a very tough rating.

On one hand the second episode, Kondos gorilla marriage, is a nice episode. An 8/10 on its own

But the first episode, Im giving it a 2/10. It would be a 0/10 but it had some really nice comedy.

The Semi-Final should have been part of the Silver Soul Arc, and Kondos marriage should've been part of Farewell Shinsengumi or some other place as it did not make sense to put it here.

The OP is same OP, it was not bad.
