I just love mindless fun eps like this, where they just take a jab at the production team lol.

Gintama FTW! Yay for fast subbings!

One of the best recap episodes in anime, the dubbing was pretty funny.

Nice to see Sorachi sensei again.

Yagyuu arc is one of my favorites.

Good recycling, recap episode with rewatch value. It was funny and mean. I got so fcking hyped about the "Benizakura movie." I grapped and held my legs "omg omg omg, can't wait, can't wait, what march and still no subs?" then suddenly Shinpachi said "stop making up lies" and I broke into tears. I was so close to start bawwwing, but just a cough and some tears got me over it. That was a cruel joke. Suddenly made me feel 15 years younger. Glad no one saw me watching this episode. xD

For a recap episode it was really great^^
That's how to do it: Do a recap episode only if you got a lots of episodes already (74) and not after 6 or 13 episodes!
Hm...a new arc next time...I don't like the arcs, I want more senseless, "free" episodes!^^

...you know that anime is epic when you're laughing all the way through a recap ep. So many great scenes I've forgotten xD
- time machine!
- Justaway!
- 'Konbanwa, Santa Claus dayo' (best line delivery ever.)
- robOkita!
- blushing Zura x3
- MAYORA 13 XDD

But what really made the episode was Hata as Takasugi. ESPECIALLY his evil laughter. I thought I was going to choke to death. My sister just doesn't understand...STOP STARING.
'Takasugi fans throughout the entire country will kill you!' xD

...Also, isn't it actually true that there's a Benizakura film in making now? Haha.

Is that Otsu-chan in the opening~?!- That's what I was thinking in the opening song... She should do the opening song.. JKJK. I don't like her singing whatsoever.
What's wrong with you Shinpachi?! -- That's what makes him so awesome :3

REAL opening song was funny ^-^ Baka Ouji. "Love and Peace" *sparkles*
I love him!! Baka FTW! xD

I had to pause to read the title o_o Crunchyroll only had the first part of it named xD

And that's so true -_- We barely see any Amanto anymore, even though the 'rebellion forces' are supposed to be against them xD! The last one I remember was the kappa episode :D

Ahh. Seeing all those beginning episodes I realized WHAT a different perspective I had of Gintama back then (another comedy with some witty jokes). It's been like 5 weeks from that time, and I'm completely and utterly in love with it now :33

I remember the time-machine gag. Gosh, like one of my FAVORITE ones out of all Gintama episodes. (I said favorite, but had to change it because I thought about ALL the other ones xD)

You know, sometimes I think the voice actors just genuinely talk to each other in episodes like this. It's really amazing how they're able to make it sound SO natural. I think Gintama's voice actors are REALLY good sounding.. :)
Gintoki: Also plays Kyon from Haruhi Suzumiya! :D
Kagura: Does Karin from Bleach :).. And AL! from FMA and FMA: Brotherhood. So weird, right?
Shinpachi: Voices Jacuzzi from Baccano! xD sweet.. AND SUNOHARA from Clannad! Never would've thought of that!
I went off on a tangent xD.

Lol. I just love this episode SOO much I keep talking about it :3

"I wanna become a steamed cheese roll!" -- ROFL.

I thought the trailer was real....

HAHAHAHAHAHA. BAKA OUJI! He's in Takasugi's body :) He's taken over..
The way he says "Kill. Kill the enemies of my friends." in the Fireworks Festival scene was ABSOLUTELY hilarious.. XDDD
"I will destroy this rotten world." Such a stern, evil statement. Said by Baka Ouji. ^-^

I could SO see Shinpachi as Yamazaki..

I love how the boss of the Shinsengumi (Forgot his name -_-") just blows up Hasegawa-san's truck.

Doesn't Hasegawa-san look kinda like Kondo-san o_o ?

They didn't show the beetle episode! I loved that one because of SougoxKagura.. lol

Wow. Next arc looks amazing. Great episode!!

Yeah, Hata dubbing Takatsugi was fantastic. I wish Sugita doing Wakamoto would have lasted a bit longer, though.

And, Gintoki is a prophet predicting an actual Benizakura movie to come out.

Oh god, the prince Hata dubbing Takasugi was the best thing of this episode.

And when he just started to replace everyone in the opening, it was so dumb.

That ending with the robot arc was nice.

It was a nice recap episode, I really like Gintama self-deprecating.

Next episode, new OP, new ED and a new arc! Yesssssir!!

This dialogue "Your Mom's a XX (Omae no kaa-chan XX da!)" ROFL. Don't tell me this is the OP song now XD They even used the animation scene of 1st OP.

Lol'd at the 2nd OP song featuring Prince Hata.

This ep's title was so long.

Lol'd at Sorachi's character being a gorilla.

So that's how Benizakura arc was announced to get a movie adaptation.


Filler ep. ._. Should have skipped but Sorachi scene was worth seeing.
