A: Dat Ass

Holu fuck, what a depressing episode for Madao. The monologue just held a ton of emotion; I love episodes like these.
It definitely rivals that one episode where Madao was a project and wouldn't grow.

The lifeline reminds me of the first Millionare winner, John Carpenter, where he called his father that he's about to win a million.

Good enough episode.

Looking at the next episode preview, it's a bit weird they aren't starting the Kintama arc straight away. I wonder what is the reason for that.

Isn't it obvious?


At least that's the most likely case.

And there I was hoping they intend to end the season with a bang instead of a bunch of episodic stories. (I'm still holding out some hope.!)

I was hoping too, but this season should end at ep 252 and there's no way it'll be covered in 3 eps.

They probably don't even have enough of the budget left to animate it anyway.

Oh Madao :')

And I hope Gintama doesn't have another break :I

Do you guys think it's possible for Gintama anime to end altogether? Sure hope not.. life would be terrible then.

I really liked this episode. It blended perfect Madao comedy with a pretty touching story.

Otoshidama episode is next week. I'm really excited for when they do the Kintama arc though.

I actually thought this was a really touching episode. I was expecting it to be extremely random and just all comedy.
The whole story with that girl was really nice. I enjoyed it!

Slumdog Millionaire Gintama version. Complete with memory flashbacks on where Madao had heard all the answers before. This weeks episode had a good mix of comedy and serious bits.
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to give out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Doesn't really -sound- like it, but since it's Gintama, who the hell knows xD *doesn't follow the manga*

P.S. I liked the creative censorship during the scene of Hasegawa-san walking through garbage. Did the mosaic-ed male organs become too much for the time slot? lolz

For some reason, I find these Madao episodes very depressing, I just feel so bad for him.

All throughout the question montage I was hanging for the punchline, and it didn't disappoint.

And is Gintama really ending this season? Though I can see why it would seeing as the anime seems to be catching up with the manga real fast, and with the way some people are putting it, this Kintoki arc sounds epic so I hope that they do animate it some time.

They really need to stop making him so pitiful. He looks badass in every OP, is badass in most of the times he needs to be serious, and the reason he was unemployed was because he was such a badass. They should start letting him see the light of day. Seriously..

I'm sure at the end of the series when ever that may be he will find some luck in life and end in a happy note, getting back to get with his wife and such. Gintama always ends in either a touching moment or slap stick comedy. Since Madao has always ended up in slap stick comedy his final arc surely will end on a touching moment of the Madao finally getting his life back on track.
