This would have been a far better ending for last season if they just added these 4 extra episodes to it... It's a shame that the last season ended that lame! The second part of this episode was very funny and filled with references which was pretty funny to see :D Lets see what the other episodes have to offer!

That was beautiful. When Kagura, Shinpachi, and Otae arrived to the rooftop and apologized to Gintoki...tears started falling ;_; Really enjoyed this arc.

When Mantama started, I was like "wtf is going on, the arc ended so suddenly?!?!" But it turns out that it was some imaginary world where Kintoki was the mc. That was hilarious, though I only recognized a few, there were a lot of parodies in that Mantama OP. And all those euphemisms they used, too funny. Gintoki is such a sadist crushing Kintoki's world like that, but Kintoki deserved it :P

Pretty good ending to this arc. I loved the Gintoki ver. of the OP :-) Only thing is, it's been four episodes but the Shinsengumi haven't shown up in the new season yet ;v;

Shinpachi and Kagura pissed me off. Lost a bit of love for them this arc. Didn't even apologise to Gin for what they did. (Regained already from what I've read of the manga) Well, whatever. A great arc anyway.

That twist was just so great. ''Oh, you thought I was your cute childhood friend who made a promise with you and will become your wife or something? Nope.''
Gintama crew is like those inseparable friends there was in every school you went. Except, Gintama crew is way cooler than those friends, or you, or me...

In any case, it's nice to see the gang back together! :D
Hyped to see the coming arcs.

Great arc! I don't know if they can top this, this arc is one of my favourites! Mantama was hilarious, so cliché and also the scene where Gin crushed Kin's kintama xD
This arc was so good! Very touching also with its morals. One of my favourite arcs without a doubt!

Simply put it's the flaws and imperfections of someone that are unique to him and make him individual and complete - even human in the first place. That's just how humans are - constantly struggling towards progression. Beautiful message in this one.

Amazing episode and perfect ending for this arc. All these twists especially with Mantama. That got me good. I mean how often do you so so much OP's in an single episode? :D

The second half of this episode I was almost only laughing, so good what they did there.

Finally Gintama is back. It's crazy how much more I like the OP with Gintoki in it :P

The ending credits makes my heart melt. No more golden haired doofus, there's the Gintoki we know.

That is a very good arc. It solidified my love for Gin and his bond with the other characters.

Awwww - the scene on the roof with the group hug was so sweet - just when Gin thought he was alone, they were there for him. #feels

I knew from the timing that something was up with that next show, but was all WTF until they showed the title Mantama, then I burst out laughing!

Great arc, glad all is back right with our silver Gintama world! Cracked up when Gin ducked under Sacchan in the opening instead of catching her. LOL

A great ending for a very good arc, that Mantama special though is priceless.

As for the arc in general well it can be summed up through this quote by Gin-san or Mr. Michael McDoesn'tExist: (History has yet to tell who really said it)

"This blonde little shit strolled into my show, took my OPs, EDs, and friends, and is trying to impress me like I'm his alcoholic brother."

So in the end Tama gave Kintoki an wake-up call showing that even the "golden god" is an imperfect creature... After all, even without noticing, his soul was being altered to silver by other two imperfect creatures, Shinpachi and Kagura, while the whole farce was going on. Is like Gintoki said, his past may be an farce, but his present was real. He was antagonising Gintoki and crew for being dependent, imperfect creatures but in the end he only survived because of the mercy of these two, who saw in him an imperfect creature worth of saving. Not so much an perfect golden creature who doesn't depend on others now, right?

Although this arc doesn't enter my list of absolute favourites, the message is pretty cool, and the story itself is very important to show both Sorachi level of creativity for writing a story with such an crazy concept yet so beautful, and his courage, to literally destroy the 4th wall and built an entire storyline where the anime/manga itself was at stake...

And of course the best part of the arc was Tama, everything involving her and Gintoki (not forgeting Sadaharu) was sweet...

A perfect end to one of my top five favorite arcs in Gintama. This was not only a brilliant start to the new season but a wonderful encapsulation of what makes Gintama so great, from its complex and emotionally driven characters to its badass fantastically animated and choreographed action scenes. In the end, they all really do make the perfect main character, and I think that's beautiful.

Perfect ending to an amazing arc. Love all of the characters in Gintama and they all make the perfect main character. When Manatama started I was all wtf but it was hilarious. Glad everything is back to normal and the altered OP with Gin-chan in it is so much better.

The creativity of this show doesn't stop to amaze me.
When you think there is noting new to be surprised by, you are getting Mantama.

Definitely one of the best arcs, and its awesome that Tama got some screen time at last.

That was some insane animation and effects when Gin and Kin clashed.
Gin's words were amazing: ''The maincharacter in Gintama is every last idiot alive in this show!''. Just wonderful..
