| Nope, this season is about all the skipped arcs in the 2015 season :3 The current arc airing is Kagura's Boyfriend Arc, then the list goes on something like this: Excalibur Arc, Homeless Arc, the HDZ48 Arc and Guardian Spirits Arc. Love Potion Arc has been animated already in two OVAS so it doesn't count here. If i'm not wrong most of these arcs happen before the Feigned Illness Arc, so that's why it feels weird for anime only followers. Basically, this season is like fresh comedy air in middle of all the chaos happening in the manga. |

Swagernator said: Everything in Gintama that is not serious is filler. That would be the case if the serious stuff was the focus, but it's not. The focus of the series is the comedy, therefore most of the comedy short arcs and stand-alone episodes are not filler. Christ, Naruto really botched the meaning of that word for many people! |

| gintama's "fillers" are far better than its boring serious arcs |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| It's great to see comedy Gintama again, but after the last season, these arcs feels kinda out of place. |

Swagernator said: Everything in Gintama that is not serious is filler. yeah. because the story is all about serious arcs and not comedy |

konrad509 said: It's great to see comedy Gintama again, but after the last season, these arcs feels kinda out of place. The main reason I'm very sure they're doing it is because the final arc is currently going on in the manga, and the studio doesn't want to risk catching up with the manga, since it's almost finished anyways. So this is good to sort of alleviate the seriousness (because hodang is this final arc INTENSE) and a good way to let the manga run. The last thing Gintama needs is real filler, even less-so with the manga almost being finished. |

konrad509 said: yeah it really is a bad move on the anime's part, the issue is the final arcs rely so heavilly on the status quo being interrupted so hard that even the characters are longing to go back to the good old days and starting to realize just how much they appreciated certain aspects of their life that they took for granted (ie otae taking kondo for granted, hijikata genuinly valuing gintoki as a friend, being able to just dick around not in hiding and so on). Having this random series of leftovers smack dab right before the final arc really weakens this aspect and its going to seriously devalue the ending if they happen to have an epilogue section thats just some random comedy events to showcase one last time the old carefree times are intact, for manga readers it'd be the first time in 3 whole years of these final years so it'd be a serious pay off, in anime it'd be what we assume is a single 24 episode arc(at least thats what alot of people are saying silver soul will be) that separates this as appossed to the little over 50 episodes it should of been by not having this slip arc.It's great to see comedy Gintama again, but after the last season, these arcs feels kinda out of place. all in all its probably one of the dumbest decisions in the entire anime which usually is on top of things. |

I disagree. Comedy would be sorely missed if the anime just continued to Silver Soul Arc. A slip arc is exactly what Gintama fans looking for the old Gintama comedy needs at crucial times like these, not to mention it keeps Gintama fresh so that when the manga is finally done Silver Soul can come back with the fans in full anticipation, unlike SnK where five years of hiatus mellowed the hype. |

I don't think they really had much of a choice, I think it's obvious that the staff really love Gintama and would've wanted to adapt everything in it from the start, but they probably couldn't due to constraints. Oh well, nothing we can do, but at least for the people that haven't started Gintama yet, they will experience it in the correct order. |

| The serious arcs are filler if we're talking about Gintama. Being serious now, it's Gintama so it doesn't matter, just enjoy it. |

| Whether it's "filler" or not, it's still a million times better than any of the shitty Battle on Rakuyo arc episodes that made up all of last season Episodes like the last couples ones are what makes Gintama worth watching. Wouldn't have it any other way. Screw the generic shounen arcs though |

GangsterCat said: gintama's "fillers" are far better than its boring serious arcs Wrong, both parts are great but the serious arcs are even better than the comedy stuff. They add much more depth to the characters |
Sangaz said: GangsterCat said: gintama's "fillers" are far better than its boring serious arcs I really agree with this. Gintama started to lose me with the shogun assassination arc, I was getting bored as fuck with it. I watch Gintama to laugh, not to use as a sleep aid. Well thats your problem, Gintama has had serious arcs since the beginning. If you only watch it to laugh then you are ignoring an important part of it |
