It's good to see Gintama back :)

Also surprising to see the series in HD and widescreen this time around :)

Love the animation and higher quality sound effects.

Seems it's still being produce by Sunrise under the name "Bandai Namco Pictures"(they changed it to this one a few years ago if i remember correctly).

But why is there a credit with White Fox and ufotable?

Love the parodies as always! I didn't get the Psycho-Pass part, but it seems it's about the movie making more money than their movie.

It was great at the beginning, but it slowed down a bit towards the end. Glad to see Sugita hype as hell as Gintama, same with Rie Kugimiya and
Sakaguchi, Daisuke as Kagura and Shinpachi.

I can't wait see Hijikata, Tsukuyo and the others!!!

Once again, Gintama is back :)

Even when a Gintama ep isnt even that funny, it never fails to put a smile on your face. And make you forget about real life issues with all these random absurd stories :).

Okay, I decided to let some episodes pile up so I can watch them in bulks, but I couldn't wait to watch episode 1... only to get slightly disappointed.

I hate to admit that for an anime I've just written a collab post about and really looked forward to seeing, I didn't get to laugh a lot from this episode. Uhuh, well of course, the comedy isn't the only point in this show. (Don't get me wrong, I love Gintama.) The introduction was pretty great and funny because it's a parody of a real life historical event in Japan. But the plot of the rest of this episode, which I suspect will run a little longer in episode 2, isn't exactly good. I got the impression that it was trying to reuse its time travel tactics that we've already seen used pretty well in the second movie, which wasn't not too long ago, too. So the effect to me is that they were reusing the same thing. I had high expectations, so this really was disappointing to me. The funny thing I realized is that that was an excuse to minimize the animation here. (In this case, Gintama is still a brilliant work.)

Also, BN Pictures? That logo seems half-baked, but I'd really miss seeing Sunrise in its place. :(

parodies from gintama'. in gintama' they start in tim skip. now in gintama2015, they start with time stop.

lol I don't know what you guys are talking about. I had a great laugh from this. It's so great to relive Gintama again, and if the rumors about this being a lengthy season this time round, then it's also a great time to be a Gintama fan.

The opening scene was awesome. I didn't know it was based on a real life event. I thought it was just to mock how long-running shounen series keeps on going without end or apologies.

The time-travel plot might seem pretty generic at face-value, but I felt it was yet another mockery of the endless amount of wannabe time-travel movies we've been getting like "Project Almanac", which coincidentally was released not too long ago and had to deal with preventing people from dying or disappearing through time-travel. I thought it was pretty clever how Gintama likes to take something serious and turn it into something ridiculously stupid. xD That's the way I love my Gintama, by pointing out the stupid in everything.

PSYCHO-PASS.

An interesting concept to start off with, although I doubt it can beat the first two episodes of Gintama'

Poor Gengai, that booger must've hurt.

Let's hope this gets at least 50 episodes this time around. Enchousen was way too short.

3 episodes released, rank three on the top anime page here at MAL.

Wat.

Thanks for reminding me why I never listen to ratings on MAL.


Also, I'm not saying Gintama is bad by any means, I'm poking at MAL to disallow voting for animes that haven't finished airing.

that'd be retarded and only work to discourage people picking up certain shows while airing as well as track a show getting better or not, like world trigger for example started witha score around 6.50 but over the past 2 seasons its gone up to a 7.00+ because of its notable improvement as the series goes along, that score increase can motivate people to give a watch but if they were disabled this would never be a possibility

Just because the anime as a whole has released 269 episodes, doesn't mean this season is gonna be worth to be rank 3 after 3 episodes.
It could get worse, but because 6000+ people has rated a 9-10, it just won't go down no matter how bad the anime becomes.
Unless people change their rating, don't think that happens all that often.

You have a point, but it also makes people give terrible ratings to anime that don't deserve terrible ratings, simply because they can, while they can do that after it's aired aswell, the chances are not as high of it happening.

Himegoto is one example, people gave it terrible scores because of it being a trap anime (I believe, doubt it'd score a 6 otherwise, it's not that bad), be it they knew it was and just instantly scored a 1 on it, or they didn't know and found out after the first episode, and gave it a terrible score because of it.

but so far all 4 episodes have been on on point and show no signs of stopping, people are rating the series as a whole cause these seasons arent new series, they are long established works with big followings , theres no reason for any of us to rate it lower than any season before it

4 episodes have been on point, good start. ;>
I repeat, I don't hate gintama at all, it's good.
All I'm saying is, a season having released 3 episodes so far being ranked #3 on the top anime page is, in my opinion, stupid.

Lucky Star's first ~4 episodes are pretty well known to be bad, until they changed some staff member (too lazy to look it up) after which the anime got a lot better.
That's the same thing but in reverse, doubt they'll change a staff member but I'm just saying, you can't judge an anime (or anything for that matter, season in this case) after a few episodes.

Same goes for every anime, it could become better, or worse as it goes along.
A lot of anime that started out good but became worse later on.

I'm not saying this is gonna happen to gintama, certainly not, just saying that just because some anime has been airing for a long time, doesn't mean it can't suddenly become bad.

Ah, just thought of a decent example, hoping I get my point across.

Bleach.
Started out good ( personally, I liked the first ~100 episodes) but eventually became a huge mess.

Gintama just got back and we get a public apology right off the bat hahaha. I don't know why but I just finished the previous season a few days ago and now I'm watching this after it's finished airing but I feel like I've been waiting for this for so long.

Anyway I noticed that it's not Sunrise studio anymore? It's now Bandai Namco? ok...

This first episode was awesome and hilarious. I was grinning from ear to ear the whole time!

There is nothing more sophomoric, childish, elementary school yard lame than a booger joke.

Anyone watcher that is watching/catching up to Gintama right now, I recommend to watch the 2015 anime in this order

1:Watch Episodes 266-293

2:Read Chapter 487( it's a unanimated manga chapter)

3:Watch Episodes 294-299

4:Watch Episodes 329-341(Porori)

5:Watch 2014, 2015 Jump Festa, and Love Potion OVA's

6:Watch Episodes 300-328

7:Watch Episodes 342-till the series ends

Basically(if you're confused why I'm listing it like this), the anime studio ran out of timeslots for the 2015 Gintama, so they had to skip a lot of Comedy Chapters(so they can adapt the Serious arcs), but then in 2016 and 2017...they decided to adapt most of the skipped comedy chapters as OVA's or in Porori-hen
