| In the episode, they have joked Renho, one of the Cabinet ministers, and Ad Council Japan. AHHHHH..Now I understand from who the parody was from!! |

| Just.. lol. |
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant. |
| Is it sad that Gintama's trolled me so much that this seems like another joke from the producers to me? I know it's not, but still... xD |
| So, I'm guessing Gintama is losing popularity now and they had to draw extra attention to the show? |

| Does political satire even exist in Japan? Derp. |
 |
| Well well... they should be glad that Gintama makes a parody out of politicians... it gives them more publicity ^^ |
 |
| Other than making fun of politicians, what else was the content of the episode? OP was kind of vague. Also, sounded more like TV Tokyo just didn't want to lose business to AT-X since my understanding is they probably have different content standards. Would be nice to get all that clarified, though. Like I said, no offence to dtshyk, but the original post was way too vague. |

You cannot expect detailed explanation of such a delicate issue on business. But thanks to Takamatsu's tweets, we can guess what happened backstage. 1. TV Tokyo objected to the contents of the episode and made Sunrise revise the story many times. 2. TV Tokyo finally approved the revised edition and the episode was aired at last. 3. After the airing on TV Tokyo, something happened to TV Tokyo's mind and they asked AT-X not to air the episode. 4. AT-X said the cancellation was TV Tokyo's intention. |
| I realize of course they wouldn't explain it. I just get annoyed when there's not enough info for me to form an adequate opinion. I wanted to know what else was in the episode, since people seem so sure it was because of the political parodies but are not really explaining why they think it was that and not something else. I suppose I will download the episode and find out for myself. Thanks for the reply. ^^ Edit: Also according to Wikipedia (for whatever that's worth), AT-X is a subsidy of TV Tokyo, so that explains that part. |

| Update Nov 14th TV Tokyo replied to the inquiry of an online media that the airing of the episode was canceled because there was a description which can be associated with a specific person (presumably Renho). They refused to answer if there was a protest from the person. Source: Tanteifile.com |
| It's funny that this episode gets banned, but the Funeral ep with the penis jokes doesn't. LOL |
 |
| LOL Gintama ftw! Never give up on the dirty jokes! XD P.S - come back soon, life without Gintama anime is like Shinpachi without his glasses! |
