This episode. DAAAAAAMN I FELT THE FEELS HERE. ;-;

Why did Gintama had to bring me a bombardment of feels today? I was just so happy though. But at the same time, this arc was fucking great.

I heard that there's no more happy times after this (tho there was no more happy times from the beginning of the SA arc)

I'm not fucking ready, that's all I can say for the future events.

I am still pissed they skipped so many good arcs just for the Shogun Assassination and Saraba Shinsengumi. It would have nice to see the Mimawarigumi chapter animated as they are important in this later arc. The Ikumatsu Arc might be important for later when it comes to the future of Zura.

Agreed. I especially miss Ikumatsu arc because
a) Ikumatsu is hot
b) Katsura is the best Gintama character and yet he's rarely seen so cutting him out even more is unforgivable

Love Potion arc was also great but AFAIK it will be released as OVA. And there is Excalibur arc too...

I laughed sooo hard when the atmosphere was so serious and than I saw Sougo with a lighter (first thing that came to my mind was that it would look kinda weird if he did it normally and maybe awake some shippers but damn it was just Gintamalike and it was priceles)
Another funny scene was again heavy atmosphere in hospital, Gin actually saying something deep and than Sarutobi jumps out of the covers hahah (living her dream XD)

Shigeshige! I'm not gonna lie... I was at the verge of tearing up, my eyes we so blurry but than I saw him being alright later and thought they fixed him up so I thought, why not leave a comment and than I come here reading all of your comments and realize that he really is dead and with ED still playing in the background, that was the breaking point XD

Rip Shigeshige. Can't help but feel that the ED song was a little too cheery for that final moment.

Overall a very good arc, but I don't think I can call it one of my favorite Gintama arcs for some reason.

Mmmm this last episode was a little meh. I expected something else. It felt underwhelming. Anyway the arc deserves an overall 8.5 'coz Zenzo and Takasugi should've died. The first one with Takasugi and the second with Oboro's intervention.

Ps. Don't write down even the initials from next arc please. It's an easy hint

To be honest, I love this about Gintama; the serious arcs have a deep storyline and are tragic enough to make you cry, while the comedy arcs are funny enough to give you a stomach ache and move you to completely different tears.
(The seriousness is still pretty daunting in the manga, but I believe the comedy is better expressed in the anime by the voice actors – who have done, a hands-down amazing job)
No other anime does it/can do it as well as this, I mean Takasugi and Gin-chan’s fight was out of this world! All because of their unique past and current relationship as well as their positions in the Gintama world… I’m looking forward to the next arc – the feels rollercoaster will continue to give us chills and butterflies every day while waiting for Wednesday!
Finally R.I.P to the Shogun, Shigeshige – you and your contributions to the anime will be greatly missed TT.TT
(P.S Zura will finally come out of his ‘Stand-by’)

Looks like we're at the point of no return. I'm expecting the comedy aspect of Gintama to severely lessen now.

But man, what an arc. The ending itself was just, wow. Amazingly done. RIP Shogun.

Do you guys remember how this arc started ? "I've gone back to simply being a brother, but the tea you make.....is still lacking" Dem feels :((((

but what a great character...i would have loved to see his comeback. I wish that politicians in my country would be at least a 1/10 of a leader that sho-chan was

Come on, one last time for posterity : SHOOOOGUN-KAYOOOOOO!!! :'(
Farewell to one of the most awesome character of Gintama. May your soul rest in peace and stay far away from Gintoki bad luck.

Hijitaka should have expected that lighter prank. Can't trust the sadist.
Sachan hiding in Gintoki bed was hilarious.

So, is the kid with blue hair Nobume? He/she looked a lot like her. I can't remember if they described her background in earlier episodes though.

Anyway, it will be nice to see what will happen now. I can hardly see a return of comedy episode. Even Gintoki was super serious at the end.

I thought the fact that i alredy read the manga would make me Invulnerable to the feels in this chapter, but it actually made it even more sad, when Shige shige was saying his goodbyes and making promises, i just knew they wouldnt be completed e_e

Also, seeing that the next arc is the Farewell Shinsengumi Arc, which is the logical option as far as the manga goes adn the story in general, but it makes you wonder if they are ever gonna adapt the comedy/semi-serious chapters they skipped.

yeah that's her, that had been said during the nation arc, her name was Muruko before and Nobume is the name Sasaki gave her (that right there has a great story)

I had a feeling that he will die, but did he really? It looked like he died on the spot, but then theres a scene of him with her sister right after, and I think it will be cruel that she didnt know he died right there. I'm quite confused right now..

The whole scene dealing with his death was beatifully done and even though it's reaaally sad in the end he died peacefully just as he wanted.

Overall the arc was awesome! looking forward for the next one!
Prepare yourselves for more sadness!

he died..
In the first episode of this arc the shogun wished to enjoy the horrible tea made by his sister without thinking of the country and stuff....basically just as shigeshige. He asked matsudaira a favor before dying and it was to let him spend his last moments with his sister, so yeah basically he died whithout her knowing at the time.

So Shogun is dead? No. He's one of the funniest character.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

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.

Never expected Gintama to kill anyone off to be honest.

A bit surprised we're jumping right into a new arc next week too. Usually there's a cool down period but I guess not anymore.

Best arc I've ever seen, watching episode 305 is literally the best experience I've ever had.
I was crying heaps at the end, I was hoping his sister wouldn't be there when he died but she was, that ending scene of her just patting his head thinking he was sleeping killed me.
This episode was beautiful though, it had moments that made me laugh my ass off (like Sougo trolling Hijikata), moments that had me cry heaps (like the death of Shige Shige) and some moments had me crying at the same time as laughing (like Gintoki offering the Jump issue to Zenzou).
They could still go back to comedy but nope. Next serious arc starts in a week... I don't know whether I should be happy or not. The budget may go down heaps low.

The thing is he wasn't a good leader, he was a good friend though. Shogun has done nothing good for his country, NOTHING (helping some individual people he cared about doesn't even cover it). He has been wasting his time on entertainment and hasn't shown any concern about his people. While he stayed in luxurious palace Katsura was fighting for human rights and his country's independence.
