I liked the conclusion to the Hard-boiled detective story.
And I laughed so hard when the Granny and the rest of the family started coming down the moving floor XD

Loved the last few minutes of the episode, Hijikata corpse 4021 XD

"Harley...Davidson!!!"

The conclusion really made up for that last episode. The family on the moving floor bit was hilarious as well as that wine scene. I suspected that bar keep was the Fox.

LMAO, at Okita counting Hijikata corpses in his sleep.

Did Gintama run out of money or something? This episode was 75% stills and repeated animation.

I think [maybe] they were saving money for the next arc (eps 86-87) which
was very well animated...and really sad :(

Agree!

At least this episode wasn't as bad as 84.

The family on the moving floor... that was good stuff.

YAY! Shinsengumi arc up next!! Even the preview was good. I read it in the manga so long ago, it'll be really nice to see it in anime. ^^

Actually I quite liked 85, 84 though...

And it gets better, much better, right from 86. 101-105 are just amazing, so nothing happened, it was just these episodes.

I think the granny family thing on the conveyor belt is the funniest thing I've seen in this show, and this show has thrown a lot of funny shit at me so far. I had tears rolling down my cheeks, and by the time the grandad goes "I love you dear..." I had trouble breathing.

The only flaw of this episode was the fox dude being alive at the end, I hate when authors completely miss the point of their own tales and rob them of meaning. But hey, this is Gintama we're talking about. Meaning? Fuzagenna!!!

Hmm that preview with the touching guitar rhyme looks good.

So Haji is a boy that looks girlish, but if you notice "his" clothes and compare to others "he" has boobs o_o

The scene with the family on the conveyor belt was hilarious. The rest of it wasn't great, but that scene made it worthwhile.

I think the ending made up for what was a pretty lackluster arc, at least by Gintama standards. I hope the Fox returns, he was a cool guy! The reveal of his true identity was a nice touch :3

Next up - OKITA EPISODE! That's gonna be really interesting cos I don't think we've heard ANYTHING about this guy's past...

Compared to the previous episode, this one was alot better. Loved the ending and I had tears in my eyes of laughter when the family came down the moving floor. I think that has to be my favorite scene in gintama so far xD

That conclusion was great, even if it was really obvious that the old man was the thief since the last episode.

The trap were so funny. What the fuck, a museum putting a family as a trap xD

Next episode, it's finaly one on my favorite Shinsengumi member, Sougo!! :D

Kagura with the Harley Davidson! lol You really never know what there gonna do next on this show, kinda surprising though.

And dat vomit waterfall scene was so funny.

"Screw this! I demand a refund for all that energy i just spent!" Gin.. XD

First is the grandma that they didn't know, second came the grandpa who say goodbye to grandma, third comes the father who talk about taking over inheritance, and finally his child came up and that is where they carry the whole family... Oh god. I died laughing at this part.

Kagura saved them somehow lol.

What a nice ending, really loved it. :3 That old man fox Master was a friggin hard boiled character!
