| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Onmyouji and Hedoro added to the OP. Lmao, everyone’s celebrating for Kabukicho’s success in getting rid of the liberation army, but Gintoki’s still in a dire situation. When the flower is connected, Hedoro acts the way he normally acts. Take off the flower and Herodo talks the same way he looks. LMAO, the contrast between the things Hedoro says is hilarious!! The way the flower just fell over, pfft. Haha, that flower replacement Gintoki got. Hedoro is a contrast machine for good now, lol XD It’s nice to see the characters getting a breather moment after fighting for so long. Three of the four devas finally getting a chance to spend time with one another. Gedomaru and her Pandemonium’s lol. Shinpachi’s crush is back though, lmao. Lol at the Onmyouji looking for some more screentime. Lol, that troll Otae x Kondo moment though. Time to strategize some more. Every militant unit out there fighting for Edo puts their input on what needs to be done next for the war. I guess Yorozuya is the most aimless one out of all of them. It’s nice to see them being treated is a proper group by others though. That Hevandorogon though, haha. OMFG, They were playing Decisive Battle from Evangelion!!!! WTF, Gintama?!?! I guess Gintoki got himself a Mecha Hedoro for his own use. “It can even be a tsukkomi”, lol. Poor Shinpachi’s role will be taken. It’s time for everyone to take a rest now though. Sacchan obviously takes advantage of this, lol. Lol, Tsukuyo being drunk it not a good sign at all. And it seems like Gengai’s been captured by the Yato clan. They’re threatening Gengai to turn off the Neo Armstrong Cannon. I love how Hijikata just chooses to leave once he sees the situation inside, lol. Nobume’s back up and she’s discussing with Soyo-hime. Sadaharu’s still with them though. They’re received a message from their radio, and it’s not other than Nobunobu. Man, Nobunobu, the man responsible for Shigeshige’s death, is now talking with Soyo-him. Awkward af, lol. This episode adapted 2.5 chapters (627-628 and half of 629). Next episode will most certainly end at chapter 631. This was easily the best episode from this season. Seeing all of the characters together really makes this episode feel like a celebration of Gintama. The comedy was on-point and the serious plot still remains, done in Gintama fashion. Not to mention that the artwork was top-tier in this episode. And the fact that BNP was able to play Decisive Battle from Evangelion caught me off guard. Hopefully they don't censor the music on Crunchyroll, just like how they did for Porori-hen Episode 9. And the way they played the OP and ED theme, with a bit of it happening while the anime was going on, makes things feel better. The ED playing at the end when Nobunobu talked with Soyo-hime was super tense. Next episode is the final episode of the cour. I wonder if the 5th BD for Shirogane for Tamashii-hen will only have 1 episode. 5/5 |

SenpaiJay98 said: They stopped mid-way of chapter 629, right when Soyo talks with Nobunobu for the first time. And they had to cut some of the OP and ED visuals to reach that point. Still a couple of Nobume and Soyo's dialogues were cut out, but it's nothing important. Plus it allowed the episode to end at an impactful moment.Chapters 627-629? |

Best moment from the season XD OMG, Crunchyroll censored the NGE music. FFS, this isn't the first time they've been doing this. For those who can, just watch the raws. |

| Great episode. Gin-san trying to control Hedero with his antics was really funny. Was nice to see Jirocho, Otose and Saigou share a moment together. :) Pandemoniums are back, I find it hilarious how Shinpachi switches the moment he gets seduced by the illusions. xD THE NGE PARODY WAS EPIC! I couldn't stop laughing. That was pure gold, definitely one of the best moments of the season right there. It just got better and better with Gin-san explaining Eva/Heva and eventually the Human Instrumentality project. Like I said, that was pure gold. XD The part where Kagura-chan was falling asleep as Gin-san was talking was adorable. Really sweet moment with Gin-san praising both Kagura and Shinpachi as they fell asleep. :) Poor Gin-san can't catch a break though, I was hoping we'd get a little more of dunk Tsukuyo. :P The moment where Hijikata opens the door and closes it immediately was great. Looks like Genkai's been captured by the Yato. The Nobume and Soyo-hime moment at the end was really nice as well. Also, I finally know what Sadaharu's been upto. Looks like the next week is gonna be the last episode of this cour with the rest airing in summer. They mixed up the ED a bit and I can't say I was a big fan of that, I just love the vanilla ED too much. :P GoldenDevilGamer said: OMG, Crunchyroll censored the NGE music. FFS, this isn't the first time they've been doing this. For those who can, just watch the raws. Holy shit! NGE music would've made the whole thing even better. Sucks they did that, guess I'll have to watch the raw now. |

| This episode was hilarious. I got really excited when Tsukuyo got drunk and was about to sleep with Gintoki BUT WHY DIDN'T THAT HAPPEN SORACHI???????? My ships... they have yet to reach their destination... But damn, I never thought Soyo and Nobunobu were ever going to meet and I was tense af when that happened! Too bad they had to cut the ED though :/ So Gintama is going on a break... again. I've said it a hundred times now, but seriously, this is getting annoying. Not sure who to point blame to this time around, but I hope they make the final product worth it come June with spectacular animation. But man that means Gintama and Grand Blue will be airing at the same time... not sure how I feel about that.

Animation/Staff of this episode: - Script by Taku Kishimoto - (岸本卓): Same of past two weeks - Storyboard by Hirofumi Ogura - (小倉宏文) - (15, 21, 29, 37, 44, 49, 56, 65, 72, 87, 171, 185(Half), 207, 217, 222, 232, 274, 337, 343, 347): Veteran. Already worked in two episodes in this season. - Directed by Hitoyuki Matsui - (まついひとゆき) - (343): Same director of the episode 343 that is very good and not made in BNP C. Your work as director was very great in both episodes Animation Directors:  - Kohei Yoneyama - (米山浩平) - (343) - Masayuki Ozaki - (尾崎正幸) - (109, 116, 123, 130, 137, 343) - Masaki Hiraoka - (平岡雅樹) - (343) Even the animation directors of this episode having little experience with Gintama (excluding Ozaki), they have experience with other Sunrise shows, and again, as in Episode 343, they did a great job. The animation of this episode was very consistent, highlight for Gintoki and Hedoro scene at the beginning of the episode, great art style. Direction and animation was great, I hope more of this staff in the future. Btw, the form that used OP/ED was great Director of next and last episode is Shuuji Miyahara, same for the great episodes 328 and 345. I hope that this episode be great. The preview shows static scenes, but remember Miki Komuro style (or maybe Sasaki). |

I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it if you could upload the clip, if it isn't too much trouble on your part of course, but if you can't then that's cool too. |

| I lost it at the NGE parody and I haven't even watched the show lmao All those Pandemonium feeding seemed quite disturbing to watch lol Gengai was captured while he was pooping by the Yato tribe which asks him to disable the nanomachine cannon while everyone else have a crazy party night. *sigh* One more episode to go and then back on break. Wished they could go full for two-cour season till the end instead of a split-cour but I cannot deny that the latter makes more sense. Oh well. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| i like how the ending got edited to make the dead people appear first. episode centered more on the comedic side, was good. also, what r u doing there sacchan  |
 |
| A funny, but at the same time occasionally touching, episode. It's a shame the show will be taking a break after next week, but I guess it'll be a good way to make sure the animation is good later, and prevent the anime from catching up to the manga. Unfortunately that also means that yet another separate, highly-rated season will be added to the database and suffer the wrath of the salty fuckheads that just can't seem to ignore a franchise they irrationally hate so much. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| That clip was gold (Pun intended). Thanks, my dude. |
Remco9800 said: Well, it's not their fault that Sorachi suddenly decided to extend the final arc in the manga. It's impossible for Silver Soul to be one season anyways. If BNP really failed in paying its respect to Gintama, then they wouldn't be doing glorious things like using Eva music in Gintama, or being responsible for the composition for OST 5. They're doing the best they can. If Sunrise were to animate a serious arc that goes on for 12 episodes straight with almost non-stop action, I'm sure they'd have the same production values too. And besides, BNP and Surise is the same thing. Same people, just different studio name. You gotta be kidding me, another break ffs. I'd prefered if they had waited longer with this season, so that the final arc could fit into one season. The treatment Gintama has been getting since the Battle for Rakuyou arc really sucks. Bandai Namco Production has failed paying its respect to the series like studio Sunrise did. |
|
Remco9800 said: Yeah, BNP did the SA and FS arc, but it had an easier production. It took a one week break in the middle of SA arc, right before Gintoki vs. Takasugi. This allowed them to polish that arc. FS's first three episodes had little action in it, making is easier to produced. Then the fourth episode of the arc was only 15 mins, and the rest was an adaptation of a skipped chapter in a simple, cheap artstyle. And even then, SA and FS had bad looking episodes like 303, 306, and 312. Rakuyou was 12 episodes, with 9 of the episodes being non-stop action, and no breaks in the middle.

I prefered the long seasons with 50+ episodes. I know the same team are working on Gintama, but I just don't understand why it seems to be a bit differerent since battle on Rakuyou. GNP did the season with the Shogun Assassination arc and the Farewell Shinsengumi arc as well right? |

Remco9800 said: they had Honjo back then, who was like the best animator of Gintama(he did animation Episode Jirocho and Gintoki vs Shinra,Episod 246 which was the best animated part of Thorny,Katsura vs Saito, Episoe 305,and Gintoki vs Utsuro), now he isnt here anymore(so sasaki has to do the best sakuga moments most of the time, Sasaki animated the best part of Jiria vs Gintoki, best part of Hosen vs Everyone, Episode 304, Katsura vs Shokkau, and the fight scene in the docks earlier this season, he also did some of the Shinra fight scenes in 350 and 351)GoldenDevilGamer said: Well, it's not their fault that Sorachi suddenly decided to extend the final arc in the manga.

| What? Crunchyroll? again? why they do this. Eva parody who spoil everything about Eva......... Eva is kinda dead not surprised they don't know Eva anymore i am talking to you Eva 4.0/3.0+1.0  Random Rafflesia on Eva parody its just 100/10  And that Kondo talking with Gintoki while riding eva i think its also a parody scene from Eva (Eva before turn into 3rd Impact on Rebuild maybe?) + that running |

| No surprise again. The comedy was on point. Can't wait to see what Takasugi's role will be in SS arc. |
  Katsura janai, Zura da |
| Kinda bummed about the break thing but it's understandable. Amazing episode, I just love seeing all of the cast together, gave me vibes of the ol' days of Gintama. Great arc so far |
 |
| Loved the episode. Pandemonium is back. Hahahahahaha. Pandemonium x Shinpachi OTP obviously xD Loved that whole segment with Shinpachi crying as he was ready to eat Pandemonium lmao. The Gintoki and Hedoro scenes were great too xD And poor Gintoki couldn't get his sleep at all haha. That ending scene though with Soyo and Nobunobu. That reaction from Nobunobu after realizing who he was talking to. Man, I am sooo looking forward to their conversation. Gengai is kidnapped too. Wonder how they're gonna deal with that. THAT PREVIEW. OH BOY. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM. Last episode next week before it goes on a break... |

Pandemoniums and (H)EVA? A deadly combination. Albeit not as deadly as the party that Gintoki had to unwillingly partake in. Thank you so much for posting it. The Evangelion drum beats truly give the scene a completely different vibe. |

| A final peaceful night for our heroes to relax before the fight begins once again. (That Takasugi cameo on the preview hyped me up !) |
| ''I'm fine with being a beast, I neither want nor need anything to protect. I just want to destroy everything, until the beast stops whining.'' Takasugi Shinsuke |
