THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The poster with the footprint was cute :3

I love how Gintoki is described as a NEET samurai, that basically sums him up.

Otae being typical Otae at the end xD

OH MY GOD YES THE GENDERBEND ARC IS NEXT. YES I AM READY FOR THE EPICNESS. KAGUURA. MANSENGUMI. OH YES PLS.

This episode referenced far too many japanese celebrities/movies/bands. Many jokes were impossible to understand. Pretty weak episode if you are not in on 50% of the puns.
Not the episode's fault since it was designed for a japanese audience anyway

Too bad most of the parodies were beyond me :/

The things I understood were fun though.

Lol'd so much at "I can't come up with an ending" by Sorachi. So much troll

The "Love, Heartache, Resili. -ence and" part was funny too.

Are those 4 seriously the new 4 devas or was it a one ep thing? I knew there had to be a catch for Otae. She was being way too cute there. My heart skipped a bit from her cuteness but the end with how she scammed Katsuo was lol. RIP!

So nxt ep is the long awaited Genderbender arc I've heard about. Was that Gin being voiced by Paku Romi in the PV?

What was that music playing when Katsuo was talking about how he loved Kabuki? Is it part of the OST from the prev seasons or was it new?

That was a fun episode.

Loved the Mother/Earthbound Zero references. Some of the jokes did fly over my head though, but I still enjoyed myself.

Most of the stuff I didn't actually get so I found episode pretty boring :/

Katsuo was an idiot for not checking those boxes

Looks like we're gonna get a gender bender arc. Definitely looking forward to this.

Decent episode, especially the parts with Mother and Itoi. The second half was pretty good too.

Looking forward to this so-called Genderbend Arc.

Damn, Otae has the whole Kabuki district already in her grasp. So this will lead to a genderbend arc huh. Sounds good haha

I thought this episode was pretty good. I mean, not even nearly as good as the last one but it still entertained me.

For me this episode start a bit weak mainly cuz i dont know who shigewase....maybe shigesato is(apparently a screenwriter for earthbound/mother) , the first funny moment is when kagura said ''is the opening started yet?'',the manga is better in my view cuz anime ver cut some content.The first half was moderate with some funny moment e.g Sorachi cameo,poster moment ,etc..The second half was pretty good fot a few laugh , nice comeback by the diva candidate katsuo and FrenchBreadChin-man with a lot of funny moment.This week kinda decent but next week yes!!,Genderbending Arc started next week yeah!!!Ginko time to shine,cant wait for next week 9+1/10-1 hope next arc is 2-3 episode long

The Gorilla part with Sorachi not knowing the ending to Gintama was funny. But he obviously knows the ending, looking at the manga.

Paako is way better than Ginko though.

Lol Gintama's good point?
Uhhh budget-friendly? xD

I knew it!
Otae is the strongest!

There's always a person as hard-tsukkomi xD
I don't know what'll happen if there's none

Never trust Otae, not even once
I knew there's something wrong with her smile xD

Genderbender arc!!! It's here!!!!

Really loved the first half of the episode, even if most of it went over my head. But the core three never fail to make me laugh.

The second half was a bit of a miss. I really don't care all that much for Otae's character. A bit of a Mary Sue, in that she always has to came out on top in the end. Her stick got old a while back for me, but generally still ok half.

The poster with Sadaharu's footprint and the Yorozuya was cute.

"I can't come up with an ending." was pretty funny.

Otherwise the rest of the episode wasn't, but the genderbender arc should make up for it.

The first part was better. I really like Gintama's self-deprecating humor. And yeah, that gorilla mangaka better work on that ending; it's been going on for too long. :P
The second half was more annoying than funny tbh. Gin's matryoshka doll joke went for too long. Didn't know anything about the referenced Japanese celebrities either.

Next arc looks promising though, so I'm looking forward to it.

I almost fell for that sweet trap of her. How stupid I am x)

Dat self-mockery at the beginning... It was flowing from the screen...

Poor Kyuubei, it look like next week, she's the only one who doesn't gender bend :P
