The game segment was comedy gold. I would definitely buy that game, it was a glorious piece of clusterfuck. It seems that the CEO approved the game too. Hasegawa got the short end of the stick, as always.

NEET is scary.

Guardian Spirit segment was promising, particularly as Gintoki's guardian made its appearance. Sugita did a fine job conveying the terror of having no toilet paper. Shinpachi's expression as he laid his eyes on the guardian spirit was sublime as well.

Yea specially otae chan and ikumatsu those 2 are totally different except in the opening song

I don't know why if they can still draw the same faces as in the opening why did they change them in the episodes...!!!

i think the main staff were busy on silver soul arc. The artstyle went back to normal in episode 7 and 8.

If that's the case that's good news

It's a dream if SS becomes no.1 in mal but that's rather difficult....

it won't be no.1 and it really doesn't matrer..but i really hope it becomes our number 1 between gintama seasons.. it can be no.2 tho, depends on the story, and how the studio will pace it, and it's animation..i mean gintama° was no2. Until kimino nawa was released, and still is no.2 i think in top tv series.

That's because gintama° was something amazing indeed it made my love for gintama hit a higher level...

What I'm afraid of that half of gintama fanbase are not fans of action and that may lower the rate a bit

Also worried about the budget and animation quality...we are talking about 25 episodes full of fighting....

Usually a change in artstyle for a anime happens because the certain art director on that episode(like for example Gurren Lagann Episode 4, or Yu Yu Hakusho Episode 66) and that directors choice or style of how he draws them, and for SS arc, I hope there is a 3 month break inbetween Episodes 12 and 13 of the SS arc(a Split Cour)

25 Episodes though...and Chapter 630 is a good spot to end "the first day" of the arc

So the art director has been the same for over 12 years for gintama? There was never a change in artsyle before this season.

exactly, it was a nice combination between comedy and fight scenes and feels.
and i wish for something BETTER than that for silver soul.
As for the fanbase, while i agree, i think it will have enough comedy. Rakuyo arc was a very serious arc and it had the least comedy in gintama ever, but ss has more comedy apparently. At least for the first half.
Also don't forget the same fanbase rated gintama° 9.23 ( atleast that was the score at the end of summer, i don't know why it went down to 9.19)

I mean, compare something like Episode 146 to Episode 147, noticeable art difference, or Episode 65 to Episode 64

as for SS I just hope they prioritize where long time fan favorite characters come back(rather than dialogue or comedy based episodes in SS arc)

The part about remaking the upcoming Gintama game is not really og becsuse I think Gintama has already made an arc like this but funnier in the past (Such as when they all play an online game)

However, the fourth quarter of the episode makes up for it! Everything from why Kagura ends her sentence with -Aru are all explained + the reactions from Shinpachi just add the toppings on top.

The next episode will be the last official, legit, full-length comedy episode before the Silver Soul Arc (last arc) coming in January 2018...

I love how Gintoki bashes everything related to his own show, if they do release a new Gintama game, I wouldn't be surprised if they made an episode mentioning all the reddit and 2ch comments bashing/praising it.

The second half was hilarious, the ghosts were like stands from Jojo's BA. Gintoki's stand is enabling his NEETism and is a glorified, vengeful spirit of an eraser LOL

Drunken Pikachu's "akuhuru, akuhuru" and him going to his "master" made me lol.

Definitely the best episode of this season. Even if it's just the first part, and even if they did it to promote their video game, it's still hilarious lol, it doesn't get any more meta than this. Also, are the tales series really that popular in Japan? They're kinda niche everywhere else though especially cause that game don't even allow the players to take a screenshot like how stingy can you be? Second part was hilarious too btw, the truth about Kagura's aru-aru has finally been revealed!

Comfortably the worst season of Gintama so far (still a solid 7/10 lol). Animation took a real dip in quality and the humor was more miss than hit. The humor also felt a little more ruder than usual as well, not necessarily a bad thing, but it felt strange watching it in Gintama.
