I agree, I got a little teary eyed.

Pasta and Yama-san cracked me up. The rest was mostly serious or sad.

Yeah, that was funny :P

But I didn't get this episode. Maybe I was just under the impression that it was a serious one and, in the end, they still acted like children and got away with it :|.
Gintama is really a world where normal logic doesn't apply :P

I was baffled by that as well and thought I'd missed an episode. Apparently Rumble's release is missing the first 1:20 or so.

Maybe they had a faulty raw or was that a cut DVD release?

That was pretty deep. Gintoki made the father cry with just his words/actions alone. Too bad about his death, those children are definitely going to suffer, and both the Shinsengumi and Yorozuya knew it.

Sakata Gintoki has topped himself yet again this episode...

Sakata Gintoki said:
“Whether I go or not, I’m going to die. Inside me, I have an organ that's more important than my heart. Although it's not visible, I feel it going right through my head and down to my legs, and I know that it exists inside me. It’s the one that lets me stand up straight and walk forward, even when I'm bleeding and dizzy, without ever trembling. If I stopped here, I feel like it would break… My soul would break in two. To me, that’s even more important than if my heart stops beating. Even if I become old and my back is bent, my soul will still stand tall…“

It was also good to finally see a sincere side of Sougo and Hijikata, they're role in this episode was good. Kagura and Shinpachi had their moments as well.

Where is Takasugi? He'll be left behind as a favourite character potential at this rate.

Ugh, getting attached to minor characters is always my biggest mistake. ;_;

Nice to seem some development here between all the characters, but especially between the main three and the Shinsengumi. Also Okita himself especially - it was nice to see a new side to him that wasn't entirely sadistic.

I wonder what happened to the kids though... D: Hopefully they come back or we get answers another time.

This was a lovely and meaningful episode. Gintama surely knows how to drive a message home when it takes a break from the comedy and decides to tell a more dramatic story. Maybe because its always so funny the dramatic episodes are more touching...?

Against my better judgement, I watched another episode. Someone convinced me since this is another serious episode.

....

Eh.

Not as good as 24 but still better than almost every other episode in the anime. Really wish it was nothing but the serious episodes, those are at least not terrible, unlike the all the unintentionally unfunny episodes.

Thx for taking your time, but now I'm getting greedy ^^.

If you really want to drop it (or eternally on hold) I would really hope, that you at least watch the first movie "Benizakura" (which is a remaster of the episodes 58-61) to at least get a clue of what is to come.

If the serious episodes are more enjoyable for you, just only watch them. The grand final for now (Episode 300-316) will become better the more episodes you watch, but it's better that you reach these episodes then to never touch them.

And my final advice is: Check out the guide in JessReviews "Should you watch Gintama" Video on YouTube (in the description) and you if you can spare 3 more minutes I would be honored, if you take a look at my Gintama AMV, to see what awaits you, if you don't drop Gintama:

Saw Jess' video. Still putting it on hold. I can't be bothered to watch another 30 episodes of a show I loath in the event that it somehow becomes good. I would rather just watch something good.

I'm not being arrogant. I'm giving the show an honest shot, it's not my fault it's complete shit for over 50 episodes before it might maybe get good. Not my fault it doesn't have jokes.

Cool then. Can fanboys finally let me have an opinion then? Already know I offended you because I don't like it. Am I allowed to call this anime shit then? Do I have your permission? Or do I need to watch [CURRENTEPISODE + 12] before I'm allowed to speak about it?
