| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- -That was perhaps one of the best, most heartfelt Madao episodes that I've ever seen in Gintama. I really get depressed with Hasegawa-san episodes because you know he's going to get screwed by the end. -Oh yeah, Naruto played the Daigorou kid today. I wasn't sure that it was him until he started screaming and I then I was like "now just add a -dattebayo." -The ending sting that showed that it had been written by his mom was the best. |

| Awesome madao episode. Best episode ever. |

I loved this episode, just because it shows the seldom seen sentimental side of Gintama. |

| Poor mado :( And i'm glsd to see Naruto VC in Gintama.It means Gintama is finally getting attention from people :D |
| It's actually one of the Madao episodes that I actually liked. :) |
| My brain: Yorozuya Gin-chan -> Yozakura Quartet = Yorozuya Quartet (this is how much Gintama has affected me). |
| That was Naruto's voice? Wow. I recognized the voice when it was in an episode of Major, but not this time. Good. (I hate her voice normally) I, too, enjoyed this episode. It was a pleasant surprise because I wasn't expected to enjoy it at all from the preview last week. |
Grimmm said: I, too, enjoyed this episode. It was a pleasant surprise because I wasn't expected to enjoy it at all from the preview last week. ditto for me. this episode will be one of the memorable ones i would remember for gintama |
| Hasegawa is the coolest man ever! The episode made me cry yet laugh because of that kids voice part being Naruto Rofl.Nooo come back Madao!!! (Sasuke) .. hahah. This might have been a parody of Naruto lol |
[right] |
| Normally those Madao-episodes are totally depressing, but this one even had a happy ending with Daigoro's family being reunited. I liked the summer research setting - it allowed for humour. |
| First parts was really funny with the comments of the kid's teacher XD Then a very touching one from Madao which was really sad and was all good at the end. Then the credits will just make you ROFL again XD I find this part in the manga funnier though... |
| This is a signature. |
| Genius episode. Loved it in the manga and the anime version was just as good. |
 |
| One of the best one episode story ever. I thought it wasn't going to be that good because of the beginningl, but it was just awesome. It was hilarious yet very heart warming. WHOO Naruto in Gintama, that's just plain awesome XD |

| This episode was hilarious yo. Idk why everyone is saying it was so heartfelt :P and the ending was Gintama-like haha. |
 |
| Good ep as expected, the story was made cleverly with all the tsukkomi by the teacher in the first half but then letting the story flow in the second half. When Gintama ends I hope Madao finishes with a good life, he's just too nice when it matters. I'm liking the ep lineup lately, nother tearjerker/warm story next week！！！ |
 |
| I was telling my friend how sad this episode of Gintama was and how it was making me really teary, but just after that the ending came up and it had me laughing so hard I forgot why I was so sad before. I forgot how good Gintama is at pulling off episodes like this. |
     |
| Wow, I think may have been the first time I actually cried at an episode of Gintama. :< |
 |
| Fantastic episode. Why is there a condor in Edo!? |
| Gods, I just love this show. I usually groan at every appearance of madao but this ep made me like him if only a little bit. |
| Why is there a flashback arc in your journal! i <3 this show |
 |
| teacher's comments kept me through the most part of journal madao = awesome at getting owned! gj madao u did something good for urself and for a family end credits OWNED! |
 True or False Anime + Manga = Chuck Norris / Chuck Norris |
| Haha that was such a great story. It just became my favorite Hasegawa episode. |
 |
| The teacher's comments were hilarious in the first part of the story, but the second part was pretty touching. The credits were funny too, 'written and directed by Mom' XD |
    |
| A personal favorite of mine. The best stand alone episode of the whole series IMO. |
| awesome episode with madao on it. XD he looked really cool here |
    |
| it was weird at the the beginning, sad at the middle (though the teacher's interrupting comments gets me to laugh in between that sadness, LOL) till the end credits rolled and became very funny! I should have expected that twist but I guess I was lost in my emotion from the last park scene when the credits rolled! ROTFLMAO! I had to post as this became one of my favorite Gintama epeisodes! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Fantastic episode. Loved it. :3 |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I usually don't like Madao episodes much but this was awesome and sad, poor Hasegawa-san... The ending killed me XD haha And that was Naruto's seiyu?? Wow i didn't realize that ^_^ |
| To me, that was just...excellent. Gintama really deserves it rating on this site. |
| "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." Oogway |
| That was just heartwarming at the same time hilarious. The first half with the teacher's comments about his student were funny esp. "Why is there a flashback in your journal?" LMAO And then it started to get serious and and respected Madao as he should be. But when the credits showed "Written and Directed by Mom." I died. ROFL This is why Gintama is just awesome. |
| Actually really touching episode indeed... just gotta love HASEGAWA-SAN, that's right, he's no madao, he's an awesome selfless samurai !! ''OI your mother wrote it!? Make your own homework !'' Hahahhaha damn though man, that REALLY cracked me up :p |
| Lol @ Wakers Wark. I like how the kids story makes the first kid's story look so silly, haha. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| LOL morning glory = hazegawa water = sake best observation project =D |
| "Directed & Written By: Mom" lmao. Brilliant episode xD |
 |
| That was just brilliant! Best episode of Gintama. |
 |
| " I give IT lots of sake but IT wont move or work" " Why IT'S using rope to make a swing.. " So pathetic and sad that it becomes awesome and hilarious. Poor madao indeed. " When will Madao sprout" |
| great piece of work for a madao ep, his character rating went up so much from it :D and lol @ his mom writing it in the end XD |
| So beautiful and heartfelt. I love Hasegawa-san so much no matter anything <3. Naruto-kun! Wasn't too sure, but when he started yelling, it was painfully obvious lawlz. Ij could just imagine the dattebayo because it's Naruto's kind of story too :). Loved this episode soo much. The gag at the end made it funny, but that story was brilliant. Gintama never fails to impress me, fillers oe otherwise. 5/5 - LOVE. |
| Definitely the best episode of Gintama. |
| Anyone know the OST at 20:40 its so amazing. By the way this was an amazing episode |
 |
| Wow, what an episode. First time I really feel as if Madao is good at something... I guess even he is not a hopeless guy.. Go Madao! Although I feel it's kinda sad that he is apart from the boy.. And of course after the touching part there's the funny unexpected end (that the mom was the one who wrote it?!) |
 |
| Madao episodes are always some of the best and this was no exception xD I love how the kid treat Hasegawa-san like he's some plant or a stray dog, even to the extent of putting him in a doghouse The ending was quite heartbreaking but of course in true Gintama fashion they end it all on a joke, which was nice cos i prefer to laugh than to cry :) |

| Yeah, I'd agree this is probably the best one episode story so far. Some funny stuff, but it was pretty sad and touching as well. |
