| This is probably my favorite arc they hadn't animated yet, so I'm super excited to see the rest of it. Katsura is one of the most consistently funny characters in Gintama and one of my favorites to, so arcs about him are always welcome. Plus, happy to see more Ikumatsu! |

Her husband dying wasnt supposed to be that long ago before the series if i recall her episode correctly. the animation is alot more slapsticky and cartoony this time, its going for off model movement intentionally so it looks weird in contrast to how it looks. In terms of actual movement its way better looking than the past couple seasons. Better than some of the previous seasons episodes. Obviously it doesn't reach heights like 304, 305, 308, 314, 316, 320, or 328. |

When I watch the first episode of Gintama°, I thought that the animation is a bit different from previous seasons. But there was a studio change so, it was normal. But in Gintama. it became stranger. Eventually now, it is even stranger and this started to piss me off. I hope that last arc would not be like this. I missed sunrise :'( |

| LOL! Gintama is on a roll! After the Kagura boyfriend arc we got a Katsura arc! so they are adapting the missed chapters in random order! You know that whenever Katsura and Gin works together it's gonna be one part disaster and one part hilarious! and Jesus christ! Gin loves to tease Katsura with Ikumatsu XD I cracked up everytime he irritates Katsura with lewd comments! |
| I missed ya, katsura. |
Yorozuyaaa said: same people are on it, i didn't compare 2011 and 2015 gintama really, but 2017 anime was much better than 2015. The animation is really fluid. And S.A arc and F.S arc were pretty good.i did compare 2012 anime with 2015 tho, and it didn't seem much different..Salamak said: i don't understand what you're saying about animation, can you explain more? it's been annoying me from the start of this season. and now i'm worried that the last arc's animation would also be like this :\ Yes, I am also worried about that.

Yorozuyaaa said: so i asked some who actually knew about this stuff (sakaki on twitter) and he said that animation actually has improved. He said that in previous seasons, most of the time it was still images and talking heads.and that it's actually has more motion now.i also asked about the end of gintama° and gintama 2017 anime fight scenes, and he said gintama° were zumed in images for most of the part, but when there is animation, it kinda gets sloppy. So you see some weird images if you pause the video midway.and that overall, gintama's animation has always been below average, but as a long running show, the animation is somewhere in the middle. And in the end story matters more, and gintama is a well written show for the most part. So let's not be picky and enjoy our show ;)Salamak said: i don't understand what you're saying about animation, can you explain more? it's been annoying me from the start of this season. and now i'm worried that the last arc's animation would also be like this :\ Yes, I am also worried about that.

Yorozuyaaa said: Old artstyle was to detailed so it made most of the episodes look stiffSenpaiJay98 said: Sunrise and BNP are the same staff Really? That's surprising. So, this change in art is intentional? Bad decision imo. I would prefer the old style. But Gintama is Gintama. I am so glad since we can watch it every week. |

It is obivious that last seasons are better in terms of quality. I am just anxisious because of the changes in character designs. But you are right, let s not be picky :) character design? how is it different?.. kagura's a bit different i guess but i didn't see any change in others?.. |

I'm just trying to unlock the mystery of how this show got 12th place with only 30,000 ratings lol. What, is Gintama that under-watched? With 30k people hypothetically watching it now, and another 70k hypothetically watching it later (going by the grading statistics, give or take a few), that means that it's scoring high with fewer numbers because it's unprecedentedly low in views. Yet it makes top 12 on episode 3. This is an interesting study. *shakes vial* |

Xeno_Wrath33x said: So you started from the Rakuyou seasonman this makes no sense fucking sense that's like starting One Piece on the New World or Berserk on the Fantasia arc, if you criticize something then watch it from the startSenpaiJay98 said: Nope, if you actually did watch more than 1%-5% of the series, then you would know why it's not like any other shounen in jUMP, and the sequels are rated higher since the fans or manga readers know the source material and studio will deliver...and they do Based on my observations (of season 5) as far as the studio goes: Pros: -Excellent use of backstories -Cool battles -Fitting dialogue Cons: -Inconsistent animation (rushed, not for comedic effect) -Generic alien designs -Most of the cast is forgettable or obnoxious -Repetitive and predictable comedy (600 or 300 yen doesn't matter!!1111!11!) -Reused models for henchies (balding on the head with a topknot pulled back) A lot of it is better than most Shounen JUMP, but I'd still say that most of it is average, meaning 6 or 7 and most certainly not a 10. Also, this is the only anime that Namco Bandai Entertainment produces that's popular in any sense, of course they'll try to milk it. |

Xeno_Wrath33x said: Nope, you haven't gotten a "feel for it" and you literally skipped so much character introductions, the gags that come from the characters, characterisation, and Serious arcs(Benizakura, Shinseguemi Crisis, Yoshiwara in Flames, Red Spider, Kabuki 4 Devas, Thorny,Courestan of a Nation, Reaper, Shogun Assassination, Farewell Shinseguemi)SenpaiJay98 said: Then you make no sense, skip Episodes 1 and 2(It's a 1 hour special for manga readers back in 2005) and start on Episode 3, and start from there, remember starting something 300 Episodes in(with a chronological order) is just retarded to do Nahhhhhh, getting the feel for a show this long is good enough.

Xeno_Wrath33x said: Of fucking course...it's because you started 340 Episodes in(this is like starting Berserk in the Fantasia arc and saying "that Black Swordsman guy is bland" or that Loli Witch is "boring") You don't know that unless you start from Episode 3, because they introduce the characters there and you see their pastand relationships during arcs or certain episodes throughtout the series that connects you with themSenpaiJay98 said: Nope, you haven't gotten a "feel for it" and you literally skipped so much character introductions, the gags that come from the characters, characterisation, and Serious arcs(Benizakura, Shinseguemi Crisis, Yoshiwara in Flames, Red Spider, Kabuki 4 Devas, Thorny,Courestan of a Nation, Reaper, Shogun Assassination, Farewell Shinseguemi) Like I said, most of the cast is forgettable or obnoxious. I have no reason to try to connect to any of them, namely the bland Silver Samurai who is by far the worst of the bunch. Watching these 12 episodes is enough to get a sense of their oversensitivities lol. If you don't know what a Justaway, Takatin, Shigeshige, 4 Devas, Anpananan, Eren, Black Yorozuya, Patriots, then you haven't gotten a "feel" for Gintama yet...and won't know unless you start from Episode 3...this isn't like South Park where the previous episodes resets everything that happens |

| @Xeno_Wrath33x Gotta love kids like you who think they are smart and think that their opinion is a critique. You are embarrassing yourself here. What you wrote here is some of the dumbest shit I've read all week. Please stop. It's time to stop. I know you are just young and trying to come of as some kind of a smart kid and that's okay (I mean, you are a kid and you like to play around, I get it) but this is not the place for the kind of stupidity you are posting. Your embarrassingly dumb opinions may pass on a Guilty Crown forum, but here, people are only laughing at you. It's time to stop. Go play in a park with all the normal kids or something. |

| @Xeno_Wrath33x > Says that the characters are bland and obnoxious, yet hasn't seen the episodes that made them complex and intricate characters. > Calls Gintoki bland when he's not aware of his backstory and everything he has done in 330+ episodes > Says that "Episode 1" was bad enough, when the entire fanbase is aware of the fact that the first two Gintama episodes are total trash and filler. > Complains about reused henchmen models in a series where there's hundreds of henchmen in a scene. Well of course they'll be reused. > Says he got the feel for series when he watched less than 5%, and arguably the weaker episodes from the series. > Calls Gintama the only popular anime Bandai Namco makes, when Gundam exists and Code Geass is coming back. > Complains about animation quality in the season that basically everyone considers as the weakest season in terms of animations > Complains about the comedy in the previous Gintama season, when it's supposed to be primarily a serious arc and it's the general consensus that it's the weakest season in terms of comedy In all honesty, the things you're saying are kinda embarring. Not only are you being hypocritical, but everything you're saying is contradicting with one another. I suggest you come up with points that aren't contradicting, since it's hard to debate with someone that's proving himself wrong by his own words. |

Yorozuyaaa said: Salamak said: character design? how is it different?.. kagura's a bit different i guess but i didn't see any change in others?.. Their shape of chins and eyes are really different. We can see this diference in Kagura most clearly, but actually every character is a bit different from previous seasons. But still I couldn't express what I meant exactly, my English is not enough for it. Let's not discuss :). BTW, I watched episode 4, which has less gag moments, and I realized that there is not a big problem about the art in serious moments. kagura is surely different, shinpachi eyes are also a bit different but katsura and gintoki ere the same..and i'm always watching gintoki's face :)) but you're right kagura is different unfortunately.. really? ah shame i have and exam tomorrow probably can't watch the new episode until wednesday :/ |

Katsura my boyyy lmao |
| i could not stop to smile, was hilarious the indigent scene when both friends arrived and the Hasegawa speak in the ear and all change, and start...well better watch it!!!! The best episode of this season!!! kekeke |
| Katsura's NTR fetish went full on blast, he didn't even try to hide it. I want whatever he's saying to be uncensored, I want to see his freaky side. "KUZURA JANAI! KATSURA DA!" I knew it, he suggested it but got offended by his own suggestion, fucking classic Zura. Jesus Madao cracked me up, getting stomped on by the LAWD! It's way too obvious the Lawd/homeless guy with the loincloth is the missing guy/daddy of Ikumatsu it's obvious from his hair alone plus he's really the only other person to choose from other than Madao. |
| 臭い- |
| I missed these parts where some words get censored XD Gintoki is aware of Katsura and Ikimatsu's ship! Maybe if they would ever marry each other, Katsura would let her get ****** by someone else because his fetish is netorare?! How long has it been since the last time I heard "Zura janai! Katsura da!!!" |

| Pretty silly start of this "arc", so really not expecting much from the next episode... |
 |
| Madao is even a loser for homeless standards,that's fucking hard xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| so, ntr katsura? huh |
| Why, you say... Don't you get it? If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. |
