I think this actually might have been the funniest episode of the entire series so far. Holy fuck my sides are killing me.

The EVA reference, and then Gintoki randomly pitching for the Red Sox, then random magical girl Shinpachi. Never have I laughed so consistently for 20 minutes straight.

Oh, what incredible episode was that ?! And this reference to Evangelion confirmed to me that Gintama is a true masterpiece. ROFLMAO

That was absolutely hilarious the entire episode. Only in Gintama is the filler one of the best episodes. That Evangelion parody was top notch.

I hope there's a Gin vs. Takasugi in the later episodes, sounds like something extremely exciting and good. The Evangelion parody was great, it was funny.

I can only imagine!

I actually got chills from seeing the scene where everyone died and Shinpachi was holding Gin in his hands ...
Now I'm curious to see if they'll bring that scene back for when Takasugi does fight Gintoki.

Oh my God. I too am here to say how much that Evangelion parody got me. Genius episode, I loved it.

Honestly, I would've been good with a recap episode. It's been years since I've seen the first hundred odd episodes anyway. That bit about no one remembering Shinpachi's background rang painfully true.

LOL Gntama is such a troll. I feel bad for those who watched this when it was aired, they must have freaked out.

And that scene when Shinpachi is on his way to his journey and Gin "saying" his final words, I've watched that clip many times even before watching Gintama, and I still find it very funny. I didn't expect to saw that clip this early, I really thought that was something in the later episodes or in other season lol.

I thought the announcement felt funny because there's already a season 4 (which is episodes 151-201), so...
Well, this episode was quite funny though.

I really thought they were going to show the Takasugi vs Gintoki fight!! I tried skipping through just so I wouldn't spoil it for later but was so confused by the Shinpachi scenes lol

All in all, this would've been a fitting ending to Gintama made in the chaotic style they're hilariously known for

This Ep was EPIC! I laughed so hard when Gintoki said his final words to shinpachi. I watched that like 10 times and still find it funny. The endings were best especially the First one.

they look segsy in a outfit
the anniversary filler episodes are the best.

Well, this is the end for the third year I guess. Much much better than the previous seasons.
The serious arcs were just masterpieces and the comedic arcs were pretty good too.
A few new characters here and there and the OP's and ED's were absolute bangers.

Favorite arcs in the third year of gintama:
1. Yoshiwara Arc
2. Monkey Hunter Arc
3. Shinsengumi Crisis Arc
4. Ryugoju Arc
5. Shinsengumi Death Game Arc
6. Ghost Ryokan Arc
7. Kintaro Arc
8. Guardian Dog Arc
9. Correspondence Arc

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OP:
1. OP 5
2. OP 4
3. OP 3
4. OP 6
5. OP 1
6. OP 2

1. ED 9
2. ED 5
3. ED 7
4. ED 12
5. ED 11
6. ED 7
7. ED 10
8. ED 4
9. ED 8
1. ED 6
11. ED 3
12. ED 1
13. ED 2

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Third year of Gintama was just insane. No wonders for it. Score: 10/10

Shinpachi "leaves" but Gintoki reaches him by driving and leaves a final message... that nobody including himself was able to actually listen. Lol


The title becoming longer and longer after every "ending" is dismissed

Shinpachi as a majokko and that guy with overly long hair and mustaches

Jump's logo becoming alive and "Elizabeth" with inside the eyes of a live-action man

and of course... when i saw Shinpachi drawn in simple black lines into a all white screen, i immediately noticed what was going on and began laughing hard. Okita straight up telling: "I don't care" and Ootsu replacing Asuka.


Omedetou! Omedetou! Omedetou! Omedetou! Omedetou! Omedetou! Omedetou! (imagine someone in cast reading the script and thinking "oh yes, here we are again..:")


Thanks for existing, Gintama

Lol the beginning was way too serious. Even if it was a joke, that Gintoki vs Takasugi scene looked badass. I wouldn't be surprised if it's really going to happen at some point.

Gintama never fails to surprise me. Like Wow. It literally had me in the beginning of takasugi fight but its gintama so it was all a prank. The NGE parody was genius. Absolutely brilliant 4th wall breaking. Loved this episode. Thats how final episodes are supposed to be. 
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.
