Next episode is probably going to be the most action packed since last season's battle with Oboro. Hope the staff have saved enough money to maintain the quality for the battle scenes 😖😖 wonder if this arc is going to extend to the end of saraba shinsengumi

There were some derp faces and things in the animation I didn't like, I hope the next episodes aren't like that because things are getting REAL.

Apart from that I don't have any complaints. That cliffhanger tho, I knew they were going to cut there. Anime-only watchers getting trolled.

I wonder if I become a weirdo but no matter how much I loved this episode in terms of animation I thought it was terrible. I mean damn it most of the fights aren't even animated at all. They just show still images at the beginning and end of combat >.> I really thought that animation wise it has to be one of the worst Gintama episodes. W/e. I'm not crying I still love this and this is the best arc ever. Can't wait for next episode. 2 weeks are killing me :x

Um let's be honest. Gintama has never had a lot of fights with no still shots. It's not like this is anything new for the series. I thought it looked great tbh. All the scenes i wanted to look good, did.

Dat ending! My dream fights are finally happening! Hype!

Dem feels with Sarutobi and Zenzo ;_;

Really awesome seeing Odd Jobs and Shinsengumi teaming up.

Momochi is continued greatness! Laughed when that puppet head started talking.

Dat preview looks hype! It really sucks that there is no episode next week. What am I supposed to to do with this hype? It's gonna be a tough wait ;_;

FRIGGIN EPIC!! I knew that both Gin vs Takasugi and Kagura vs Kamui were gonna happen this arc but I never imagined that they're gonna be in the same place at the same time!!! F***!!!!!! Do we really have to wait for more than a week now OTL

So many great moments one after another. Quite a bit of budget saving this ep tho. Esp the scenes from faraway. All the close ups were amazing and the ep still kept the intensity. So who cares esp if they use all of it in the nxt battles.

Loved the scene where Gin called Sacchan Buddy :*) If only she heard that.

The Yato didn't disappoint. That's what u call a threat if even the small fry from them are this strong. Holy shit they're tough AF!! And seeing Kondo this BA was such a treat ^^

The tag teams of Toshi & Gin and Kondo & Kagura were so damn awesome!! Shogun helping out was cool too.

Poor Abuto having his left arm targeted lol. U gotta feel bad for the guy.

Loving Momochi a lot. She's awesome.

Died LMAOing at the "They'll ask about payment" during the serious moment lol

Sacchan getting stabbed then shot was such a sad moment T^T I've always liked her but she wasn't that high on the girls list for me. But now she might be top3 or 4 max (Kagura, Tsukki and Tama)

Zenzou saving her even while half dead and his speech about hemorrhoids being chronic was so BA XD And finally with his "I've got the perfect trump card and I've already used it" Calling Gin and Kagura his Final Ninja Technique was awesome.

The HYPE IS REAL!

This arc... first it tricked me into thinking Shigeshige died (which had me heaps sad), than into thinking Zenzou died (which also had me heaps sad) and than into thinking Sachan died (which almost had me crying)! Stop tricking me! Goddamn, the next episode is going to probably be the best anime episode I've seen if it's even better than One Punch Man episode 12.

Week after week, week after Goddamn week, we get the best episode of the year! Suffice to say, the last episode of the year took that title.

One of the best episodes of the entire Gintama franchise.

I noped the fuck out as soon as the hilt of Shoyou's sword appeared, not watching the ED because I would flip my desk over, and staying the hell away from the preview.

This arc is really going by fast for me somehow lol, maybe cause I already read it in the manga, and there we had to wait weeks and weeks damn.

Good ep overall, looking forward to the Gin vs Takasugi and Kamui vs Kagura fights, as well as the surprises at the end of them.

This arc has gotten so goddamn good, so goddamn quick. The only thing that's sort of a negative is the resulting loss of any comedic arcs.

This next episode is probably gonna be the absolute pinnacle of anything serious in Gintama. It answers so many questions, gives us two amazing fights, and will probably have a gigantic cliffhanger of an ending. It's literally fanservice, but in the best possible way.

I've already lost count of how much hype this arc alone has given me. I'm becoming a hype addict at this point. If the remaining 2 or 3 serious arcs are animated, I'll probably die of the amount of hype I'll be receiving on a weekly basis.

These next two weeks are gonna be so fucking painful.

So in this ep they adapted four chapters fr.o.m. The manga Huh? Well, its not the first time but it have only happen for like 2-3 Times before I think. But regardless the pacing was once again very Good, though I had Wished that they could putted a little more effort to some of the scenes in terms of animation like Saachans Getting stabbed by Takasugi. Honeslty that scene looked muuuch better in the manga xd

Well then, what I,m most excited about now in the next ep is the new op, that could Maybe even show the arc that Will come after this one. It could answer one of My Main questions about the animes Fate

The animation was mediocre and it seemed to me like they nerfed the Yatos a lot, but other than that I enjoyed the episode. Kondo was a beast by the way and here I thought he was a bit of a weakling.
Next episode looks like the stuff of dreams, though.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I'm maniacally and sadistically smiling for the whole episode- for I can't hide my excite for the whole duration of today's episode. Nuff said. We are nearing the damn climax of this arc. AND THE MATCH-UPS WE ARE WAITING FOR: The Yato siblings and Shoyo's disciples. Can't wait for the holidays to be over and the resumption of the arc.

Momochi is so cool. What a great action overall. This is why Gintama is one of the best anime out there.

Next episode. Kagura vs Kamui and Gintoki vs Takasugi. So hype.

They'll ask about payment. LOL!
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Man, this arc is so good. I love the way the show is using the comedic arcs to really showcase the relationships. I really felt it when Sarutobi brought up going back to stupid times they usually have. Or Toshi and Kondo saying their goodbyes.

Only with the animation was able to match the quality. It picks up some scenes, but I wish we would get the quality we had in say the Courtesan of the Nation Arc.

Covered up until the end of chapter 513~ 4 Chapters adapted—leaving 11 left. Probably 3-4 eps left depending on if they decide to prolong some fights...

Waiting 2 weeks for the next episode is gonna suck so much Q_Q.
