YORERU said: Mozart was also known to be very much into talking about poop (somehow???) so him yelling "poop! poop!" just cracked me up XD This anime... insane AND historically accurate!! Amazing Would love to know more insight into other historical eastereggs, the only other one (other than Ode to Joy) I can think of is Dvořák talking like station amplifier because of his Humoresque sounding like a train, thus being a base for alot (at least then) humorous sentences about struggles at public wagon toilet. |
| this episode felt short, lol It would have been so funny if Jiji didn't turn into Evil Eye at the end because he secretly learned to control him or something lol |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| In the immortal words of Cartman, "man that sh.t was trippy". Scenery, action, everything being grey... It worked. Hopefully the nth cliffhanger of the series will have its end fast during the next episode after watching the interesting previews. |
(save your time and don't try to comfort when i rant on casual discussion or forum games, feel free to ignore me, i won't take it personally) |
| That "powerup" didn't make a lick of sense at all, except vaguely metaphorically. But whatever, now we have a stronger Okrun who somehow can take on Evil Eye after one night of an exhausting rhythmic dancing session. Rule of cool overshadowed all internal logic here and that's somewhat annoying, but the upcoming fight will hopefully be good enough to make up for this random use of a deus ex machina. If they really wanted to stretch this "music rhythm fight" logic to something workable as a powerup, why use the tempo of European classical music, which is 4-note based and the same foundation as metal-rock and Jpop-rock styles of music, and not go for musical styles that have more complex half- and inter-tones like Arabic, Persian, Indian, African genres? Those regions have multiple musical styles that fit 5, 7, 8, 10, 12 beats into the same audial space that Western 4-beat tempos use. That'd give Granny and Ballerina-lady's jumping way more edge over Evil Eye, no? Well whatever. I thought the series would get more meta about this if it was going to use the old shounen crutch of a BS not-fully-explained not-fully-logical powerup trope. A little disappointing there from a narrative and worldbuilding conceptual standpoint. |

| Lots of sakuga features in this music centered episode. With opera singers, classical music being thrown around left and right and a wonderful display of rhythm and performance, bth Aira and Ken were able to overcome everything (twice even). Was there something Aira realized after all of it? I'm not sure but she surely was the MVP right there. And now it's time for the rematch between Evil Eye and Ken. Will that practice be enough? |

| @RygiXiva Here are the music trivia. |
| I just felt that they gave their all to make a mediocre material (this particular musical debacle) look like a visual masterpiece in this episode, and I have all the respect for it. |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| Peak! What an episode! Effortless training arc mode activated, random villains appear. Purpose: 0 Goal: 0 Execution: Flawless That next episode preview though... As the saying goes: "The worst is yet to come" |
 |
| Ode to joy lol I should have expected that. Anyway, looks like we have a duel next episode! |
 |
| what in gods name was that |
| 🌈 i just want gintama back |
| poop the animation in when Okarun was running towards the musicians as he was being attacked by the mob was incredibly satisfying |
| Fairly disappointing use of runtime...an uninteresting fight with some purposeless ghosts...just felt like filler, really. I'll be glad when we finally move past this Evil Eye stuff. |
| Damn you gotta give it to Saru Science. The directing, storyboarding and the music is so brilliantly done. What a creative musical! |
| meh not best episode in series imo |
   |
| i'll be real during the fight I was thinking it might be one of my least favorite episodes of anime like it was BAD but stewing on it they just decided to go hard with it unapologetically and that's awesome like and then the way they ended it just sets next episode up for greatness so yah I can't hate |

| In case to those people who are wondering on who the Ghost Conductor is, and to some who confuse him as the American conductor Leonard Bernstein. The Conductor is the Austrian born Conductor Herbert Von Karajan. One those considered as 20th century’s best conductor. He likes to play his Symphonies in faster tempo and more booming sound than his contemporaries.  |

| With the ending of last ep I didn't think the fight would go like this but it was certainly fun for sure and it seems like Okarun has definitely learned something from it. Although knowing the strength of evil eye I'm not really sure how much of a difference its going to make yet, should be a solid battle from what we've seen so far though. |

| @MiaAyende facts right here. irrelevant villains |
|
| I'm confused... I thought white-wig was Bach, and it was confirmed by him playing Bach's Little fugue in G minor, but when he's defeated he transformed into a portrait of Handel?? Lol |
 |
| wait was that him literally facing the music |
| 🌈 i just want gintama back |
| A bit of the old ultra violence. It was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh. |
| I'm not convinced that this is a good plan, but I guess this has to work now. Fight was very Dandadan-like haha |
