| I will be honest here. I do not think this is the best Gintama movie. I think "The last" was better with all elements of Gintama in a nice Original story. Still it was the almost perfect conclusion for the series. Gintama truly is a special anime, and i kinda "feared" this moment and was "hoping" also for it. It started as something to me weird and silly, then we grew with this characters that alot of shows dont do this for us. I was disapointed with some "plots" that stayed unresolved, or like some "ships" that didnt at least had some moment. Didnt feel as "finished" as FMA, with them with their partners and showing truly how their life went. The other hand is a good thing, was kinda sad knowing what happened, Spoiler: Years passed and they are all dead, but of course its Gintama, it was just Madao trolling. *End of Spoiler* So it kinda left with some finished bussiness as it should, at the same time, it left things "open" with our favourite trio being Forever Yorozuya. Which is the perfect ending for the series. And it left things open, specially the kind of format Gintama has, for future specials or movies, which i think Gintama can deliver with its formart. As i get older, i see the shows and series who left a marc on me, Gintama is truly one of those. It truly is special and the characters are like people we grew during our lifes, specially for people for years following the series. In a way, its kinda one of my life chapters also closing. Perfect conclusion for the series, i wish they could had touched some other things, like ships and such, but in the end, we got the perfect ending. Hope in the future we will see this trio in some way again. If not, i will be happy anyway too. One hell of a ride. |

| At last I was able to watch the end of Gintama today and... I just don't know what to say because I'm still coping with the fact that my favorite show (alonside Jojo) is now over. For one last time Gintama has managed to make me laugh to tears, especially with that Dragon Ball recap lmao But there were not only laughs, I'm not usually the one who cries when watching in company (I was watching with my best friend), but Takasugi's death really broke me and also the very end of the show (before Ginpachi-sensei). The last Ginpachi-sensei was hilarious! Takasugi asking "Am I dead? or alive?" was so freaking funny! lol DOES' and SPYAIR's songs were amazing as always! It was only missing an Otsu one lol This has been the most amazing ride I've had. This show is so important to me, it has made me feel emotions like no other. It has brought me joy in my lowest times. I'm sad and can't believe that I have to say goodbye to it and to all its wonderful characters. I still have a long way to go with the manga but it's not the same (and now I know how it ends, also). But just thank you, Gintama. Thank you, Sorachi-sensei. From the bottom of my heart. |

| To be able to make the viewers leave with the same impression we had since starting the series, you just gotta love Gintama for doing that. On a side note, I wish I had known about the prequel specials before watching this film :v |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| Literal perfection from start to finish GOATama 10/10 |
| First off I have to praise the opening recap, as it made far more sense of the semi-final's events than actually watching the semi-final provides. As for the conclusion to that story arc... well that's not so great. Aside from the climatic Utsuro fight it doesn't play to the franchise's strengths at all, with most of the content being generic battle shounen movie fare (i.e. the entire cast comes out of the woodwork to 'shine' in a giant arbitrary battle). Well executed, sure, but ultimately not what makes the franchise stand out above other battle shounen. Finally we come to 'Part 3', the epilogue; it's effectively a standard Gintama episode. Nothing in particular to either praise or complain about here. Overall I'd have to say this movie is notably worse than Yorozuya yo Eien Nare. Which is not to say it's bad or not worth watching, but it's just nowhere near the same level. Better off to consider that the actual finale to the series. |
| A great ending for an amazing anime! I hope the utsuroness in me don't last too long :) |
🐐 |
| Ah, it's classic Gintama that they started the movie with a recap (of the Semi-Final) added with parodying Dragon Ball, haha. The movie was excellent (cause I'm biased), even if it had any material cut or I feel that something's missing, I can just read the last five chapters of the manga or just don't think about it too much. I didn't mind that Takasugi got reborn(?), I was expecting that they were leaving that part vague, and "Teach Me, Ginpachi Sensei: The Final" answered that question. Love that the credits are referencing various Gintama EDs! Thank you, Gorilla-Sensei, for giving us Gintama. 10/10 | Also, "Zura janai, Katsura da!" |

| I kept putting off watching this, even though I finished the manga ages ago, somehow watching this would make it feel real... Gintama really is over... I have been re-watching random episodes over the years, I guess this empty feeling is finally a reason to start re-watching from the beginning in order? |

| HUNTER X HUNTER HAS RETURNED!!!!!!! |
| was putting this off for around 6 weeks and now its finally over, just find it insane how thats really it. personally the greatest story i have ever seen in any media form. only complaint is that they never adapted the Ginpachi LN spinoff, that is the only way this series could be better. 10/10 |
 |
| Pure Gintama just! There is no need to look for excuses or ideas, it has always been like that, and even in the end it has been faithful 100/10 |
| Gintama is a series that I have been watching for some years now, and I never truly binged it, I just went on with it and it felt right. It was therapeutic watching the occasional episode of Gintama after a long day or between other shows. That is, until I reached the fourth season, that is arguably Gintama at its peak, while also starting the whole Utsuro/Shoyo chapter (which was a much teased main plot, finally developing somewhat). Well, I couldnt contain myself anymore and basically marathoned all subsequent content left until I reached this very movie. Gintama was a journey of many things, not just of comedy or action, but truly of many emotions and feelings. However, I believe it started losing that special thing it had sometime after that amazing fourth season. It never stopped being great, though, just not as memorable. The fact that I binge-watched the rest of the not-as-great seasons, may have had a saturation effect on my enjoyment of Gintama, and because of that, I did not "feel" this movie as much as some other arcs of the TV seasons, or as I thought I would. Nevertheless, "Gintama: The Final" was a fantastic ending and a very entertaining movie, with plenty of action, funny Gintama moments, and truly a deserving conclusion of a very special "comedy" show. And so, I had to leave a final comment on the Gintama forums, and to some extent, say my goodbyes to a journey that at some point, somewhere along the road, became more than a comedy and became something special. 8/10 for a very good movie and finale, and 9/10 to that which is Gintama as whole, a franchise that has a very special place in my heart. |

| Can’t believe my Gintama adventures have to come to an end. I honestly don’t even know how I even started watching this show back 2017 but I’m glad that I did. I love you Peentama. Don’t think any anime will capture all the feelings it gave me. Definitely in my top 5 anime |

| After a month journey, I'm surprised that Gintama has ended :( What a blast and a great conclusion for the whole series. This movie has a slightly bit off but I liked Yorozuya yo Eien Nare more, still it was a great movie. 9.8/10 = 10/10 score |

| Can't believe it's the end. No need to be empty now. I am also glad they all graduated! |
| A decent "goodbye letter" movie, far from being good compared to the early episodes, but a welcomed one nonetheless. |
 |
| The movie ended at 8 min 10 secs wth xd When the fight breaks out and the song starts playing and the townspeople barge in with Shinsengumi, Karuga, and Shinpachi, looking at them the awestruck face on Gintoki’s face, this is just too perfect. Another perfect moment is when Sadaharu farts Gintoki out and the song plays again, this is just Gintala-like lmao. Also, they really be fighting everywhere ;v  My kokoro itai for Takasugi and Gintoki T-T It was a good ending. Loved watching it. 10/10 <3 Ngl I'm hoping they'd say "aye fooled yall" and release a new chapter ;v |
 |
| I was feeling really sad about Tama being left alone but ofc this show had to troll the viewer until the very end, no other show manages to be so dumb, serious and funny like this. The journey is finally over. |
| I gave it 10. Simply as an honour for whole series. Also that DBZ at the beggining bought me. :D |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| This was a pretty satisfying way to say goodbye to the series. I was always more of a comedic Gintama fan rather than the serious arcs but still could feel the epicness. The fight of Gintoki and Takasugi/Utsuro was confusing. I had to rewind it and read the wiki and still am not sure if I get it fully but oh well. I like how every character got a bit of airtime. I liked the part where they reunite with Tama and the world reverts back to Edo - obviously it wouldn't be Gintama-style to end on a sad/nostalgic note! I was not to big on Gintama initially but now after 7 years and all the releases I will definitely think fondly of it. I will prebably re-watch the whole series at some point. |
| And with that it's really over.... what a long journey it has been. I'm very glad I've watched all of Gintama. I remember when I first started with the series.. and actually put it on-hold for a while because I struggled with the first 15-20~(?) episodes, I didn't enjoy them that much. But I stuck with it.. and I'm so glad I did. This masterpiece of a series, it will always be one of my favorites. There's no show more funny than Gintama, nothing comes close. But all of it has been amazing, not just the humor. The characters, the fights, the voice acting, the story, the animation (although it definitely worsened in the later seasons), the music and everything else.. it has all been fatastic. I will admit that I did hope for some sweet Gintoki x Tsukuyo ending.. or at least a few nice moments between them in the movie, but no big deal.. Anyway.. what a wild, hilarious and wonderful ride it has been. I'm grateful. |

| I love Gintama as a franchise a ton, but sadly the final movie that I just saw in theatres ended a beloved franchise for me with a whimper. It had its great moments and emotional punches at times (surrounding Gintoki and Takasugi), but mostly felt like a movie that didn't capture the spirit of what made Gintama to be a special series in the first place and felt a bit repetitive and redundant by the end given what all was showcased in Silver Soul's anime seasons. Plus, the visuals were a let down too for the big screen standards. And I didn't get enough of the characters and their fun interactions with each other in this movie except a few times. It's such a shame since this franchise was incredible for 300+ episodes. But the slip from Rakuyo onwards was apparent and the ending while not an awful movie, was a really disappointing one as a whole. I'll still miss this franchise a ton though, and will cherish it a lot. It's just not a 10/10 franchise for me or a top-tier favorite level anymore. But I'm still grateful to the series for all the great memories it's given me, when I saw it 3 whole times. 4/10 overall for the movie, 9/10 for the entire franchise. |
| They did takasugi's death the justice it deserved. Its weird that the silver soul arc is maybe the messiest part of the series but the epilogue to it is probably my fav part of the whole show with this finale being a big part of that. Just a stellar ending and one that shocks me with how good it was given how rare it is for a long runner to end well let alone at a peak |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Finally got around to watching the Semi-Final eps yesterday and this Final movie today. I cried when Takasugi died, the scene was so beautiful. It was a long journey and Gintama is officially over... I'm gonna miss the silly trio so much! |
 Watched it in theatres today, it was a limited run I brought my bf who knows nothing of the show and he said this movie sold him on it. the theatre was so active crying, laughing, every emotion possible Been watching this show for 10 years such a strange feeling knowing it's done |
 |
| I left my theater with a complex set of emotions I really can't begin to describe. The DBZ styled recap was glorious with so many references and the little One Piece segment was awesome too. The segment where they put together Gin-san was hilarious and the fight against Utsuro was awesome albeit a little confusing at first but done in a very cool manner. Takasugi's passing and reincarnation were very emotional but to be honest the really emotional part for me was the final part where Gintama was trying to give us a farewell in their own way. I laughed so much at everyone's antics but I was also filled with such emotion that they were really saying Goodbye for good this time. When the ED played, all I could do was grin. The conclusion to Ginpachi sensei was glorious as well. At the end of the day, I really don't know what to say. I'm at a loss for words but I'll try to leave something here just so it's put in writing somewhere. Gintama has given me so many things, I don't even know where to begin in order to give something back. I've laughed and cried with Yorozuya and everyone that this end makes them feel like dear friends who are leaving me behind to goto a place where I will never see them again. It's stupid, I know I can always rewatch the show but the fact that it's over leaves me with a poignance that I cannot describe, it's something I can never get back but I truly am glad that it happened, that this was an experience I had in my life. It's a stupid, wacky and weird story but it's fun, compelling and most importantly it's full of a heart that has touched me in so many ways. For as long as I live, I will never forget everything this story, these characters and the way of life they have imparted to me. As long as breath remains in this life of mine, know that I will carry the spirit of the Samurai in my soul that has been colored a lustrous silver. Thank You Sorachi- sensei, for all your years of hardwork. Must've been hard to stop playing Sekiro and write Gintama but I really am grateful. Thank You Sunrise/BNP for this incredible anime adaptation that carried the glorious spirit of the manga. Thank You for everything Gintama, it's been a long journey, one that I am glad that I was part of. I will live my life the way I always do but I'll make sure to do it with a shining silver soul. Yorozuya Forever / 10. |

| Came back from the theaters, it was amazing as always. However, there are small things that piled up a bit which make the movie barely missing a 10/10 for me tho... still a really strong end overall. EDIT: you know what? Nah, imma give it a 10. I wish I could give it a 9.5 tho. |
 |
| A good end for Silver Ball.. The last Ginpachi sensei at the end was hilarious. Though I forgot who the Soul Reaper was in the semi final lol. Thank you mr gorilla for the great work. |
| I'm speechless and filled with bittersweet laughs and cries, these feeling I have right now are undesirable and can't thanks Gorilla enough for making this masterpiece. FOREVER YOROZUYA |
| A perfect ending... Gintama is eternal. Thank you Hideaki Sorachi, for this masterpiece. |

| Kinda corny, stupid and overly sentimental + top tier production. That's Gintama for you. Great ending |
ZevvenJan 7, 2022 4:35 AM
| I hate everyone equally |
| Yorozuya forever, goodbye Gintama, a masterpiece worthy of a 10 |
| Damn... I have no words for this ending, I started watching Gintama around 3 years ago, and it's the first time I get to finish a fairly long series, with an amazing finale, couldn't be more satisfied with all the comedy, sadness and action scenes!! Also here I leave my favorite serious arcs: Favorite Comedy arcs: Fav OPs: Fav EDs: With nothing more to say I hope there's new stuff from Gorilla sensei soon! Perhaps a Gintama Shippuden or new generations. Was a good ride!! |
| The journey is finally over, what a ride it has been. It may have not kept up it's incredible quality ALL the way through it's 367 episodes and movies (as much as that saddens me to say), things were slightly never the same after season four ended as the balance between serious and comedy began to shift towards more frequent dramatic arcs. IMO, Peak Gintama was 90% comedy/parody with some tonal shifts sprinkled in there (Season 1-4). It made for some incredible viewing that way and the impact was that much stronger when we did see shit hit the fan. I'll never forget Gintoki's first scene of absolute rage (episode 210 IIRC?), that was one of the greatest moments in anime ever for me. A little ironic that Gintama became what they liked to parody at the end, but that's the price you pay when you add in these little backstories and mysteries a little at a time, there must be a climax eventually... Not as good as early Gintama, but still very entertaining and emotional in it's own way. A top five series for me and I'll miss it greatly. |
| What a ride i'm glad i lived to see the ending or is it the ending?! :D |
| I love Gintama! I was wondering how they were going to top off Forever Yorozuya opening scene. They didn't disappoint. What a masterpiece <3 |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
