Great first episode.With the ending showing kagura's hot mum and the opening showing gintoki's evil sensei with his team it's gonna be one hell of season !!
- 3 chapters of the Rakuyou arc in 1 episode means this season would have a 13episodes or with some fillers will have a 24 episodes ( A 51 episode at least would be better )

Was an ok first episode that continued where the last arc left off.

It's a bit dumb how people have rated it to #2 on MAL already with a 9.32. People are hyping it too much imo.

Well, continuing what happened last time... I guess only fillers will be mostly comedy-oriented because this arc looks way deeper and more serious xD

The OP and ED were nice. They spoiled an intriguing character though, that maybe will appear later :P

Loved the op (Kagura's mom!!!) and the ed. It was cute to see that they put them into chinese costumes, somehow honoring Yato tribe and kagura's family :D

Kind of shocked of why there are people who gave 1/10 o.O that's so cruel D;

So hyped (and sad) for Gintama's last season. =) The OP and ED music were alright, but the animation for those were pretty awesome!

Damn, wasn't prepared for Shouyou's identity.

Hey I know you're trying very hard to get attention but don't kill Saiki just like that. My boi Saiki still has a second season to attend and hopefully 120 5 min episodes again

Wow so Souyo went through some sort of fountain of immortality? Glad we are getting more info on Utsuro/Souyo right off the bat.

Nobume looks cute af protecting Gintoki and hype Umibouzu is back .. Haven't seen him since Gintoki vs Hosen I think. Lol at Gintoki waking up inside Elizabeth. Visuals are A+, OP and ED are ok.

I'm a little curious to see if we get as much of the random comedy episodes as we did before.

YES, It has returned :D So assuming that's Kagura's mom in the OP I'm curious to know why Kagura and Kamui were made believe that she died. Then there's Shoyo being immortal and Kamui facing Kankou :o Things are getting quite interesting right off the bat.

Hey guys. As much as I like Gintama, I still think it's pretty stupid that it's already number 2 with only 1 episode out. It's pretty dumb that you can rate something that early, in my opinion.

So they start it off with a nightmare and then the next thing we see is Elizabeth's dick. Classic Gintama.

I like the visuals for the opening and ending but the songs are awful.

The explanation for Shouyo was fine but I still have mixed feelings about him being a bad guy. I guess this Utsuro isn't exactly the same one that Gintoki knew since he didn't seem to recognize Gintoki in the previous arc.

This episode felt pretty fast paced. I wonder if this season will be 20 something episodes long instead of the 51 the last season had.

Technically yes, it's the BNP staff, so basically it'll feel like as if its made by BNP. However, they're making this at Sunrise's studio.

Wtf ? Was this spoken of in any news?


There was an EP in season 2015 where the Odd jobs were questioning why the company changed to "BNP" from Sunrise. Honestly all they said were "Why did they change the name? I don't even think the higher ups know" ,
So I presume it's same studio, same people(besides director), just changed name.
Sunrise is a subset of Bandai Namco.... so honestly it's most likely a name change, and same shit.
Is this where you live?

Fire right from the first second. Oh just how much I've missed Gintama. Katsuraaaaaa

A surprise that is not a surprise because it's the only explanation.

I loved the ending. I want the ending but why Chinese clothes tho? not that I don't like it I love it

Just the style used in the ED.

It was actually a lot like another ED they did that featured the main characters in suits and stuff. First thing that came to my mind when I saw it.

Ah yes, I needed something to fill that horrid void that Diamond is Unbreakable left when it wrapped up :/
Finally got to dig my teeth into this ep after re-watching the last season (it has been almost ten solid months after all)!

Mostly a set up episode...it still feels unreal that Gintama has had three "serious" arcs in a row and that despite this being a new season, with each new episode we get closer to the end. Although that intro was just gold- easing us in with a 4th wall break is just so Gintama and it reminded me of the good ol' times. It was equally as sad to see the Yorozuya routine officially broken...no more Snack Otose shenanigans ;-;

So, it turns out that Utsuro is in fact Shoyo after all- just a reborn version of a man that cannot die...kinda like a reincarnation, but not entirely. I wonder if he actually remembers Gintoki and his other disciples entirely?? But poor Gin, living with the hefty weight of thinking he killed his teacher when the guy was actually immortal all along got punkd yet again Gintoki.

From the setup this ep and also from the op and ed, it looks like Kagura's family situation is gonna get addressed (and oml her mother looks like a damn goddess...how'd Umibouzu pull that chick?!). That also means more Kamui, and more Kamui can never be a bad thing.

Speaking of, I like the sequence for the opening itself, and the song is catchy although definitely not one of my favorites nothing beats Sakura Mitsutsuki and Kasanaru Kage. The ending is just hype though, and it's already one of my favorites...the song, the mix of stills & animation, the colors and everyone's glorious oriental outfits had me gushing. Takasugi was particularly pleasing.

Really, I'm just so glad to have this back.
2017 has not had the greatest of starts anime-wise, so this makes everything much better!

Man, I missed Gintama's comedy. Cant say the same about the serious plot, though.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Gintama hype is real. Dun care if it's already got such a high rating 'cUZ IT DESERVES IT. ALWAYS HAS, ALWAYS WILL.

Friggen GOSH though, the OP and ED are fantastic! Seeing all the snippets of WHAT'S TO COME is absolutely astounding. /O-O/ Seeing this arc animated is going to be the best thing ever. I can't wait. Definitely one of my favorite arcs, aside from the Shinsengumi Crisis arc TTvTT

It's not a huge as parody anime more, it's been all Serious Story from Episode 300, and even then Episodes 3-299 had episodes that built the Plot

I think the OP would sound really great without the vocals. Someone should post that version.
Alsoo I bet the OP will change with episodes like instead of just Gintoki,Zura and Sakamoto at the end theyll add in Takasugi when he joins them later on.

A bit filler eh? Well I guess suddenly going in to the story isn't really good for ep 1

I guess I'll watch this just to enjoy the seiyuu and OP+ED since the manga is a bit far away from this

Can't wait for Shogun "meeting" and Kagura's Papa&Mama love story xD
