Haha, I love this episode. Pixelated Tama is hilarious! Especially the Medicinal Herb actions. I also loved Kagura's jokes and Gengai-san's Operation Midget name. The toothpick dispenser was funny as well. :)

lmao at how they change the ED with a pixelated tama, and the classic games' tunes.

I mentioned this before, but this is one of my favorite ED because it features all the females in the anime. love it!

The beginning loooool sleeping is not similar to watching TV Tama.
Such pixelated Tama is not good for my eyes. But from polygons to pixels...lmao.
Pixels are classic...I agree.
So she caught a cold? What kind of cold is this?
A naked Tama. Probably the second time we see fanservice in Gintama.
The way Gintoki got stomped by the hammer was cringeworthy (ofc it was fake but still).
Gengai is such a troll though, I like this old man haha.
Pretty awesome Ginpachi sensei class, I'll try drawing Gin someday. :D

Ok, I admit, this was bad xD

SO a new arc begin. It was surprisingly fast. It seem promising, the concept can be pushed pretty far.

I must admit that my heart skipped a beat when Gintoki was hit by that hammer :O

Yes me too. I half expected Kagura to go berserk mode as she did when Shinpachi was threatened.

There's potential in this plot. When i saw polygonal Tama all i could think about was the music video of Money For Nothing, so after the episode i rewatched it again. That final 8-bit theme was a good touch.

rewatched with italian dub, and immediately aware that this will probably be hard to top as the best episode of this arc. Forgot how amusing was the argument between older and newer generations of gaming represented by Gintoki and Shinpachi, and agree with the former about deceiving cover art for titles from the NES days and appreciating "and you" in the ending credits.

...another weapon with soy sauce support? Really? But... still funny.
