This was a pretty decent episode but didn't laugh as much as usual. Anyone know if the show airs next week or is it on a break?

Uh. The most recent Gintama ep is like ep 93. There's no TV breaks we need to worry about (unless you're actually watching the RAWs). We just need to worry about it actually getting subs.

I liked it a lot, but for an Akagi spinoff it didn't feel a lot like Akagi.

I also didn't notice that Hasegawa's VA is the same VA for the narrator of Kaiji until now :o

Same, probably 'cause I know nothing about Mahjong. XD
But credit for Gintama for making a Mahjong game so dramatic. Nothing like 4 naked men, playing Mahjong.

The ending song rocks, though. Clips of season 2 and rock version of Tooi Nioi~
Can't wait for a new fresh start next episode!

Got my Gintoki fix for the week ... I'm set. Eyecandy, hoo-rah! Gotta love boxer hand placements? Teach me, Sensei was cracking me up: You're graduating. No more classes for you -- Held back, you're staying! ^_^

Did the OP/EDs reverse for this episode or am I just going crazy?

Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about mahjong. So, I didn't find this episode as funny as others. I did find the "strip" mahjong part humorous, though.

edit: I found the chapter, it's chapter 69.

They are playing a game with an exploding barrel there. Anyone knows why it was changed to the mahjong game? There's no violence or anything in that scene, so there's probably another reason?



It said in a TL note that the mahjong game was a substitute for the actual manga script. What's happening in the manga?

Or maybe someone knows which chapter this is so I can look it up myself.

I liked this episode a lot. I noticed the Star wars music in the background lmao. Akagi = Akage was just pure win. I loved Akagi and Kaiji so I found this episode really funny. Hope to see more of this kind of parodies :)

Just as they mentioned gambling in the beginning, I was ready for a Kaiji or Akagi reference put in somewhere.
Then as soon as I saw the mahjong table, I was like "There it is!" and just as expected, 'Akage' appeared. That was hilarious.

I am a fan of Akagi, both the anime and the manga, so I understood all the jokes and stuff. This was an awesome episode that parodied Akagi well.

Didn't really like this episode. The mahjong game was okay.
There were some references to old anime but it was okay overall.
The full OP song at the end was the highlight in this episode.

Season 1 is finally over. To think it took me nearly a full year to get this far. The montage in the credits actually felt nostalgic.

too bad it finished on a fairly meh episode though

Oddly enough they played the ending theme first this episode, and the full opening as the ending with clips from the past 48 episodes. I say oddly because I thought next episode was the first season finale, but apparently I was wrong. Anywho, weird episode for a season finale. No Kagura, no Shinpachi, a very small cast in general. I'm not much of a gambling anime watcher, but appreciated the Akagi reference, and was also reminded of Saki intentionally or not. Coulda done without this though:


:D Lotta male stripping this episode. Too bad she wasn't involved:


So that's season one of Gintama then I guess. Considering only the most recent 7 episodes are still fresh in my mind not much to say except...been a fun ride so far. :D
