lol, some of you Gintama watchers sure are hard to please.

Fine arc, not a favourite but it was enjoyable and sweet. Sougo being Sougo killed me though.

That was really cute what Shinpachi did at the end, Gintama is seriously good when it comes to serious or comedy and this episode was no exception.

That was so corny I was about to cringe. It was cute though. Kirara was the cuter sister from the beginning. She kind of reminds me of Sakura Matou.

OMG Sougo taking her around on a lead and she acting like a cat! LOL!

Wow, they think blood type determines personality lol. So much so they can't say them. I don't even know what blood type I am and I've had tons of blood tests lol.

I loved this arc, also think it's the best non action one.

Gin saving her from jumping off the roof at the end was so sweet as was Shinpachi across ont he other building doing the Love Actually cards thing (surprised CR didn't mention it was like that lol) - that was sweet.

Although seems they are still just going to be pen pals, I thought she might come and move closer or something, I guess they only just met though lol.

Gin is so cool and Hijikata was so funny!

I wonder if they will get together in the end!

And we never saw her again. This "romance" episodes was pointless from the start, since Gintama never drop ongoing jokes, so Shinpachi being lonely wanker for pop idol must go one.
3 setps to become Masochist:
1. Read source material
2. Watch anime adaptation
3. Suffer
Bonus Step: Tell everyone that anime is crap becouse Manga/Novel is better (duh..)

How to find the worst trash anime ever, so bad that people should be ashamed for even knowing this trash exist:
1. Check your favorite anime
2. Enjoy your shit taste pleb
Works everytime for everyone.

Wasn't expecting this when the arc started,love it how the arcs take a completely different turn than expected.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Lots of varying feedback on this arc - people seem to either love it or hate it. Personally, I loved it! While Kirara may not be my favorite, the ending with Gin saving her (that chain was awfully long all of a sudden! LOL) & the signs with Shinpachi were sweet. And I found the whole Sougo leading the sister around like a pet to be quite funny! As always, anytime the Shinsengumi works together with the Odd Jobs is a win in my book.

I thought this was a pretty heartwarming way to end the arc. All in all one of the best comedy mini arcs so far. Okita's BDSM slave play was fucking comedy gold.

Okay?

This was a fun arc, all the three older guys relating with sending messages to potential love interests, having to deal with those emotions and laughing about it was my favourite scene.

Ending was nice too, I wonder if Shinpachi + female Shinpachi will continue to be a ship. There should be a lot of potential to make fun of both their glasses. Also Shinpachi needs to give himself one of those nose attacks for violating the fan club rules!

Okita is scary AF, the scariest character in Gintama tbh. Who else could pull off that kind of brainwashing in so short a time?

That was incredible, possibly one of the best Gintama episodes. Gin jumping to save her was awesome, what a good scene. Hopefully we'll see more of her in the future, and if we do see more of her in the future, I hope Shinpachi and Kirara will be a thing! A very good non-action arc.

Yeah hoping they'll be in more episodes, not just a one-of for this arc, would be cool to see him have a serious relationship.
Really cute ending, I actually really didn't mind this arc.

One of my favorite episodes of Gintama so far.

This had it all, hilarious comedy, tearjerker moments, dark comedy, heartwarming moments, and awesome moments

This episode truly showcases what Gintama is all about, and how much character and flavor these characters have.

10/10 episode

Someone who finds herself/himself in a shell would relate with it harder.

[quote=Laraso message=28028953] the drama felt forced. Shy glasses girl that we've only seen for a few moments in the previous two episodes suddenly turns into suicidal glasses girl in less than ten minutes, so when she jumped off the building it didn't really feel as dramatic as it was made out to be.

Here's the best part though. Guess what? It turns out that she was actually planning to make Shinpachi rescue her by jumping off the roof of what appears to be at least a twelve story building. Riiiiight...

I agree with most of your points; this one especially stuck out to me.

On one hand, I tried not to write Kirara off as "wishy-washy" or "weak-willed," since confidence issues and isolation seem like the heart of her problems.

Still, the whole suicide fake-out gambit seemed to me like a bit of a cop-out.
Oh well

The first two eps of the ARC were weak compared to thi ep.
An episode filled with strong emotions but also some comedic aspects.
Well done, Gintama. The director is amazing!

Lmao, Sougo is on a whole different level of S. Man changed a girl into a cat in a second. How even? LOL
And Gin was a goat for saving Kirara. Love him.

It's a good arc but the drama was a bit forced.
