This episode really had a different feel to it by the end. I like the direction this anime is going.

Hijikata Toshiro vs Sakata Gintoki, it was short but still great. I'd like to see them team up in the future.

Pretty decent episode although I thought the show would be rather a bit more interesting and random which currently has not been the case.

Hijikata is great!
Gintoki is amazing as well. His speeches are vastly different from what is usually idealized and they make a lot of sense.

So funny trying to decide who would go and then poor Gin got chosen and didn't like it lol. Bless.

He went all Bleach on them with the disappearing and leaving a coat behind and then attacking from another angle lol.

Gin and Hijikata fighting was awesome! both are so hot <3

They make me laugh, everyone in this show does.

Meh.

Honestly had trouble staying awake this time. At least the anime has value doing that.



Series Laughs: 0. Can’t wait until I get 57 episodes into this when this show finally becomes palatable. This truly is 5 of the 10 greatest anime ever.

I read somewhere that these episodes are the hardest to get through in the series before it really "picks up."

Frankly, that blows my mind, because these episodes are fantastic.

The comedy translates very well and I find myself laughing out loud at LEAST once an episode at a smartly-played gag or reference, this episode included (the Johnny bit got me this time).

The serious moments hardly ever feel forced as of yet and are completely justified, and the balance between comedy and drama is maneuvered very well.

I'm starting to feel like this show is my next binge watch.
