THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Lol, we get the adaptation of the video game one shot in this episode. Lmao, Gin saying that Bandai Namco worked hard for this anime that doesn’t have any special moves. This episode really changed up the chapter’s content so that it could match up with Gintama Rumble that comes out in January. The manga advertised Gintama Sugoroku instead. Lol, this episode was really blunt when it came to the characters trashing on the Gintama franchise. Sometimes I wonder if Gintama’s trying to promote their game, or if it’s the other way around! XD

Lol, Gintoki, Kagura and Tama are trying to edit the game before release. Lol, they changed the title to put it part of the Tales of series. Lmao, they’re just riding on Lloyd and Cress’ popularity. Lol, S or M and they’re only choosing M. Lol, Shinpachi’s glasses is an NPC. Madao as a monster, I’m dead! There’s more corpses in the party than active members. Tales of Super Madao Bros, lol. Ah man, moments like these are stuff that only Gintama can give me XD

And we get a bit of the first chapter of the Guardian Spirits arc adapted in this episode. Shinpchi’s new glasses are a nightmare. Everyone’s got a stand spirit behind their backs. Gin’s spirit, lol it’s more than just a “Silver Soul”. Lol, the spirit does everything for Gin. It’s just a spirit of an eraser! And Kagura’s spirit is just a drunk Pikachu, lmao. The spirit is the one saying “aru”! Lol, the Kabuki-cho festival looks like a nightmare.

Easily the best episode from this season. And the 8-bit OST remix in the first half was awesome! Also, this is already one of my personal favorite episodes from Gintama. Next episode should be a blast!

So...basically they could pull off Guardian Spirit in 1 and 1/4 Episodes?(wtf they could have easily fit this into the end of the Idol arc and then we could have got the Photo one shot) I don't get why BNP/Sunrise decided to do this...they had the resources to do it(unless we are getting a 10 minute special for the Photo one shot in one of the mangas/BD dvd's)

They might've been able to fit the beginning of the Guardian Spirits arc at the end of the HDZ48 arc, but I don't think chapter 430 and 487 can fit in one episode. Chapter 430's adaptation took 2/3 of an episode and chapter 487 is really dialogue-heavy. I think BNP skipped on chapter 487 is because it was originally supposed to be a prologue to the Afro arc. Since it's too late, they decided to skip it. I'm still hoping for an OVA or something.

That was freaking glorious shit, hilarious episode all round, I was laughing so much. They saved the best for last I see. XDD

All those shots on Bandai Namco, Gintoki gives no shit. XD
I love how they brought in the Tale of series and used that, NEET status effect OP. XD

The guardian spirit stuff was also so damn funny, the truth of Gintama's eccentricities all revealed. XDD

The song's name is 'Do You Want To Be A Sugar Doll Too!' by Audio Highs.

Honestly Gintama has been reusing a lot of soundtracks from previous seasons in the Rakuyou and Slip Arc, it's just getting repetitive at this point. It's not that they are bad, just have been almost severely abused.

The first half was a pleasant surprise since they managed to degrade one of the soundtracks to 8-bit. NEET virus might just be the best/worst status effect in a game.

Since they made a lot of Tales reference it was totally relatable to me. It was a really fun first half and one of the best this season TBH.

Second half just gave me vibes of the Soba Shop owner arc. Also Gin's guardian spirit is badass.

Gintama only records new OST every every 50 episodes or so. I guess BNP thought that it was unnecessary to make more music for Gintama Rakuyou-hen and Porori-hen when they just released an OST soundtrack featuring all the new music made for Gintama 2015.They'll probably make a new soundtrack for the final season of Gintama though.

Those new glasses sure are making Shinpachi see some weird shit. It's funny how the guardian spirits are the reason for some of these character quirks, like Kagura's "aru" and Gintoki's pooping.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Well I guess this is just like I predicted with episode 12 of porori hen (episode 340) to promote the Gintama rumble game which is an adaptation of Chapter 430 that was used to promote the then released Gintama Sugoroku .And have the game protagonist changed from sugoroku and Sugomi to Rumble and Rumbee to fit in the anime adaptation,Guess this episode is just promoting a shovelware game since every jump game is shovel ware.


Still I wonder if the next episode will give a sneak peek to the adaptation of Chapter 487 before they begin to silver soul and air it after the new years eve celebration special in tv tokyo or not or at least make it an OVA and was it turned into a jump festa short yet?

"I didn't like how it was directed" that's not enough for a "Discussion Board", the animation is the same as a regular Gintama episode( a good animated Comedy episode is something like Episode 294 and 295, or 237 and 238)

it was static background in second half and overuse joke in first half. I didnt enjoy when they tried to use many kind of joke to first half episode. Like from game franchise, s m thing, parody of tales, mario, and company itself. For second half, it felt strange when they use static background and less animation too much.
I found it funny episode but i cant enjoy as a whole.

It's called "Do you want to be a sugar doll too!" it was on the 3rd OST of the anime and played during that Ghost House arc. I guess they put this song when we have JoJo-like parodies.

the game looks like total dogshit but this ep was fun at least so something good came from it.

The 2nd half of the episode was way better though, I'm already loving this guardian spirits part.

gintoki's guardian made so much sense :)) i was laughing seeing it and thinking back to all those bloody fights he had and how he miraculously survived from time to time.

omg his screams when he was stuck in the toilet :))) he half died cause of the trauma of having no toilet paper and walked the dog lmao.
i was looking forward to see kagura's guardian i thought it'd be 10 times bigger than gintoki's. oh well, that's gintama surprise. that huge thing being actually a vengeance spirit was another twist. poor gintoki has been having constipation his whole life cause of this :)))

so i was listening to gintama 2015 OST and i just realized something. no body knows about gintoki's back except for katsura and takasugi. no one knows what he went through. the only person whom he ever mentioned this to was hijikata. wow.

The game segment was comedy gold. I would definitely buy that game, it was a glorious piece of clusterfuck. It seems that the CEO approved the game too. Hasegawa got the short end of the stick, as always.

NEET is scary.

Guardian Spirit segment was promising, particularly as Gintoki's guardian made its appearance. Sugita did a fine job conveying the terror of having no toilet paper. Shinpachi's expression as he laid his eyes on the guardian spirit was sublime as well.

it won't be no.1 and it really doesn't matrer..but i really hope it becomes our number 1 between gintama seasons.. it can be no.2 tho, depends on the story, and how the studio will pace it, and it's animation..i mean gintama° was no2. Until kimino nawa was released, and still is no.2 i think in top tv series.

That's because gintama° was something amazing indeed it made my love for gintama hit a higher level...

What I'm afraid of that half of gintama fanbase are not fans of action and that may lower the rate a bit

Also worried about the budget and animation quality...we are talking about 25 episodes full of fighting....

Usually a change in artstyle for a anime happens because the certain art director on that episode(like for example Gurren Lagann Episode 4, or Yu Yu Hakusho Episode 66) and that directors choice or style of how he draws them, and for SS arc, I hope there is a 3 month break inbetween Episodes 12 and 13 of the SS arc(a Split Cour)
