-Two more left, it's almost over. (So much so that the sponsors just gave up on the sponsor screen)

-"It's like going through Frieza's forms but being let down when you get to the final one!"

-Once Saruto Claus showed up I knew things were going to get insane but before that, I was lol'ing at Gin and Umi Bouzu's dialogue. I'm really going to miss these long stretches of hilarious dialogue that they put in.

-And a One Piece reference at the very end. "King Santa ni naru."

Isn't there just one more left? Anyway...

The big 200! And what a fantastic episode it was! I can't believe they mentioned Enya. I looooove Enya! Was that a possible reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey with the monolith on the moon as well? Plus the second scene in the next episode preview looked like a possible parody of Apocalypse Now.

I think this episode was one of my favourites throughout the entire series. It embodies everything that is Gintama. It's going to be so sad to see the series end.

The big 1 on the end of the episode is making me sad... :(
So..
The ep was great :D
The battle for the title of the Santa King is hilarious...
I loved the idea of making the stalkers into Santas xD

No. I refuse to believe it. :'(




Aahaha, but Kagura's face when there were two Santas was priceless.

Really epic episode.

Gori San firing a bazooka and then calling himself Money Claus. That kinda reminded me of Luffy :P

Typical Gintama. Awesome as ever!

OMG!! I'm sooo sad!! The ep was AMAZING but Toshiro wasn't there which means that he won't appear in the last ep T_T

Anyways hahahahhaha the whole ep was hilarious!! Their dinner was so pathetic and Shinpachi trying so hard just made it worse! XD "Kagura lucky! U got the chocolate!" A miniature piece of cake Hahahahha

Aweee see it's moments like this when I adore Gin-san. Playing the adult once in a while ^.^ hahahaha. They think they are against the real santa, SOO FUNNY!! XD

Do people honestly think that Sunrise will drop Gintama? Gintama might not have the best number of viewers when it airs, but it has huge sales nrs. Sunrise will stick with it until it's done or no long gives any profit, i am 90% sure that it's just another troll.

anyway, a nice episode, sure, it wasn't as great as the last few, but still very funny.

This episode is awesome. But wtf, Christmas in march? :P

Shinpachi trying to make the party fun was funny.The Death-Note joke between Kagura's dad and Gintoki was hilarious. So was the Frieza reference. And Kondou's "I'm the Santa who wants Otae-san to make me happy" =D

"It's already rotten, you natto-santa!"

Ah, just watched the end and Shinpachi agreed on the 'march issue' :P

This episode is pure win =D

Hm, well don't lose all hope. Perhaps April 1st will come around, then Gintama will air the usual and be like 'Hey, April fools! We'll be continuing the show like usual, so please enjoy!' or something like that..

But then again, maybe It's best If we weren't too optimistic about this.

Firstly, after episode 201 airs, the manga won't even be 10 chapters ahead.

Secondly, Gintama is changing timeslots after episode 201. Changing from Thursdays to Mondays, so there goes April 1st, as it will be April 5th. Its meant to be "best" episodes, but apparently Sunrise says that they are "Not just your average reruns"

Source: http://community.livejournal.com/gintama/884690.html?thread=7570898#t7570898

From just that its impossible to tell whether the reruns will have alot of changes, but hopefully they do. If there is alot of changes, then the main concern would be whether or not they will get subbed on CR.

Well, the reason here is because this part was released in the manga during Christmas. It then got animated this march :D

Sigh, if Gintama will really end, I'm going to be sulking in despair. Only the manga can entertain me now -__-

It means that it won't be animating new manga chapters for awhile. Whether or not these reruns will count as new eps or not (ie whether it ends or not), is another story.

It's from here: http://mangahelpers.com/m/matsuri-shonen-jump-2010
All SJ series has a 4-koma Christmas special.

Gintamas's has a little much text for a 4-koma. : http://mangahelpers.com/s/cxcscans/readonline/68250/5

Also the hole episode made by only one manga chapter. Sorachi can product incredible amount of text. Respect for the translators.
