| Yep i gave it a 9/10 for being only 12 episodes, should've had more! |
| Good start, decent middle part, painfully mediocre and generic-shounen last episodes. Weak 6/10. |
Use your brain before using your keyboard!  |
| So it ends...for now. I can't wait for the next arc to be animted. |
 |
| Awesome season yet again. To all the crybabies that omg no comedy omg this season is shit 1/10, you have to realize the guy has been writing the manga for about 14 years now and wants to end it. And he knows if he just ends it with all the loose ends it will be a shit ending to a great manga. Do I miss the comedy? Ofcourse I do. Do I mind that this season wasn't that focused on comedy? Not really as it ties up a lot of loose ends. |

HaXXspetten said: Disappointing season in general. Pretty much just one season-long serious arc and nothing else, I.E: everything I don't want to see from Gintama I agree!! I used to love Gintama, season 1 was the best imo, so many very different episodes, loads of comedy. I am fine with the occasional serious arc but this was just too much. Went from a 10/10 score for season 1 to 9, 8 and now a 7. I too hope there will be some more comedy stuff in seasons in the future... I agree that I can't believe how this is ranked way above season 1 most of all... |

| Sure this season has flaws, and yeah we all did missed Gintama's classic gags BUT I can't deny that this is one of my favorite serious arc, It has the best action, fights, and drama for me We get to see some of the greatest moments of gintama, -Joui 4 reunion, each members have their shining moments, and finally a Serious Katsura fight! - BAD ASS FIGHTS! Umi vs Kamui, Kamui vs Kagura, Umi vs Utsuro, Kamui vs Gintoki, Kamui vs Yorozuya+Abuto -Kagura's story: Umi's backstory with Kouka and Kamui's Redemption. -Oboro's tragic past. so despite it's minor flaws, Gintama will always be a 10/10 to me. Now onwards here we go!  To our last fight! No shit! I'm not crying you! |

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Gintama too but I won't automatically give it a pass no matter what just because it's been great in the past And regarding the score, well it's obviously explainable with the crazy sequel effect and 1/5 rule of the first season combined so that's perfectly logical. Not much point complaining about that |

A 8-9 of 10 Rating for this Season is well deserved. It has nothing to do with giving it the score jst because of fanboying. i don't really get the "flaw", which seems to be it isn't the old gintama in this season. for me this is bs because it s the same gintama it always have been. it delivered great fights, backstory of one of the mc and side characters who are important for what to come and the reunion of the j4. |

| after seeing where this went, I'm glad there's gonna be reruns, it's the smart thing to do. it reassures us that the anime isn't wrapped up yet, and it's giving the manga (and itself) time to really polish everything. |

| the rating will fall, that is for sure and it should. this season was good as well, but 2015 just shits on it with all the greatness it had to deliver. |
| Almost everyone here is criticizing this show for going complete serious mode. I dislike this mentality of Gintama fans. Gintama is also a shounen so it shouldn't be surprising if it has some big serious arcs dedicated to develop the characters and plot. Giving it a lower score because there was no "comedy" is not a fair criticism. However, if Rakyou arc was actually bad, then the scores can be agreeable. I am not up to date with this season but I have heard many people say this arc was too "shounen" and "cliched". And those are the same people who praise SA so maybe the quality really dipped? Here's hoping the final arc turns out be a great conclusion with good mix of comedy and action. |

John_2001 said: I think this is a matter of perspective honestly. I agree that judging an anime for its genre is generally pretty stupid. For example people hating on ecchi anime for having sexual content in them just makes me roll my eyes, I mean what did you expect really? That's like the whole intention. But in that case the general counterargument is "why are you even watching the show in the first place then?"Almost everyone here is criticizing this show for going complete serious mode. I dislike this mentality of Gintama fans. Gintama is also a shounen so it shouldn't be surprising if it has some big serious arcs dedicated to develop the characters and plot. Giving it a lower score because there was no "comedy" is not a fair criticism. In Gintama's case, you could make a similar argument that this is indeed a shounen in the end and thus arcs like these should be par for the ride and thus critizing it for them is also senseless. But the difference between this and the aformentioned ecchi example is that Gintama does actually have something else really significant going for it beyond the shounen aspects, namely the comedy. You can in fact watch this anime for some other reason than its shounen themes without forcing yourself because there are two main genres here. So saying something like "why are you watching this for the comedy rather than the shounen arcs" isn't anymore valid than saying "why are you watching this for the shounen arcs rather than the comedy". They're both just as relevant to what makes Gintama what it is, and watching it for either is just as good of a reason as the other. It just so happens that unfortunately not everyone can be a fan of both sides, and then you can't help but find it disappointing whenever the series starts heavily tilting towards the side which you're less interested in, not because you can't understand why but simply because you know you would've enjoyed the current content so much more if it had swung the other direction So it's not like I'm blaming the author for writing the story this way; after all he has to cater to both sides of the somewhat split target audience which the series has. But I can't just pretend I like the serious parts just because they're "supposed to be there" either since that's never been what I've been watching this anime for. I mean at least to me the comedy parts are what makes Gintama so much better than (and different from) stuff like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail etcetera so whenever it doesn't take advantage of that strength I can't help but be disappointed by it |

| Decent arc, IMO Kamui should've died making his peace with his family and Umibozu sorta looked like he wouldn't live through being sliced up from Utsuro. Utsuro's backstory is alright, not that impactful though and the concept of final villain Utsuro being Gintoki's teacher and an immortal was introduced a bit late (Altana was introduced early, but you'd forget about it the next episode). Oboro's backstory was alright, but he wasn't as badass or menacing this arc perhaps because you get his semi tragic backstory and he was already pretty scratched up from previous fights. Also in general I think this arc had a little too much speech and flashbacks that sorta dampen the action. I did like the reunion of the Joui four in this arc though. |

HaXXspetten said: Disappointing season in general. Pretty much just one season-long serious arc and nothing else, I.E: everything I don't want to see from Gintama If it had been an arc on the same level as Shogun Assassination or Farewell Shinsengumi I could maybe have forgiven it but it most definitely was not... so this just felt bland from start to finish. In general I pretty much only care about the comedy in this show so seeing arcs like this just bores me. I know that the series supposedly gets more serious now based on the manga but I really hope the rest of Gintama's future isn't going to be like this season was or I'll be really disappointed. It always feels so wasteful when you have perhaps the best comedy anime ever and instead just replace that with an average shounen action drama every so often I'd still say this was probably better than Enchousen but other than that this was definitely the weakest Gintama season to date. This currently being at 9.28 and above both the 2011 and 2015 seasons is a joke if you ask me (not a very funny joke though, kinda like this season hue hue), though I'm sure that'll drop pretty quickly if I know MAL correctly Still 6/10 overall I guess, but considering that this is Gintama we're talking about... I can't help but expect more from it. It can do so much better than this It's not all about the comedy man, you should know this by now. Plus, while it was sparce compared to previous seasons, there was still comedy. |
 |
| Still really loved it, however... its going to break my heart but for the first time, i cant give this season a 10/10 :( Not because it turned serious and all that, i loved the other serious arc and this one .. Kagura's and Utsuro's past were great, the motherfucking reunion of the Joui and all that but there has been some stuff that annoyed me and stops me from giving this a 10/10. still, a 9/10 is still great tho. |
 |
| While not the strongest season, it's still up there. Time to wait for the next season, whenever that comes. OguriGin-chan was the best part of this episode! Too bad it was cut from the Crunchyroll ver. //The big announcement turned out to be just a rerun and it kinda previewed the live action movie-ish..  9/10 |
| well quite a dilemma so utsuro was the reason for Samurai's downfall but also made samurai to fight those who were responsible for the downfall |

Curian said: Yes, but you gotta rate it as a season, not just because of previous stuff. Since Gintama likes to take breaks, you gotta review it and rate it as it airs, not as a whole. And because of this season being weaker in terms of everything, this is why people are rating it as so. While the previous seasons did give background and development, this season lacked in every other aspect. It paled in comparison. Tyrel said: It is fair criticism.

If he would've died then whats the use of kagura's goal? She always wanted to fix her family and get kamui back ever since Yoshiwara, and after what she and her family have gone through, fighting to hell and back only for kamui to have died, then shit thats devastating. |
