| To be heartbroken. I am not sure I am ready to see this. I really am not. I cannot bring myself to think that this anime will come to an end. As someone who once abhorred the existence of this anime, just thinking that it will be coming to an end is just way too painful for me. All I know that a story that made me experience all the human emotions someone can experience will cease to exist. I won't shy away from admitting that the anime has not maintained the level it reached during the SA and FS arcs. But it doesn't take anything away from everything it has given to the fans over the years. I am earnestly hoping that the SS arc will reach the same heights or even better those of SA and FS arcs. |

| I read the manga, but the start is good, the middle dragged a little, but the Climax is SA/FS level imo |
| Sup... |
| The final arc is the most "Gintama" Gintama can ever get. Both hilarious and intense, the final arc is a showcase of Gintama's talent for blending genres. |
 |
| Its the grande finale so of course my expectations are very high, even tho i try my best to not be hyped af to in case of a surprise disappointement. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| it's super generic basic shonen arc, pretty bad. |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| medium expectations, shogun assassination and farewell shinsengumi were everything i wanted out of this shows finale but then rakyou was just kind of in the middle and lacking in memorable moments so im not going to get my hopes up too much. I also do not have high hopes the animation will be up to par for the task so my expectations are actually a tad below medium. All i want is a good final fight hopefully with takasugi participating, and all the characters getting some sort of closure |

| You guys hoping they go the Route with SA, FS, or RDB with animation? SA:The highest point in animation is better than FS and RDB higher's points, but you have to sacifrice so Episodes(like Episodes 303 and 306) FS: Where the lowest point in animation is better than SA and RDB's animation RDB: Where it's somewhere in the middle(doesn't have the Highest Points in animation, but doesn't have the lowest points in animation) Keep in mind, SS is like Yoshiwara in Flames, Kabuki 4 Devas, and Rakuyou level action(with the Boss fights, and Fodder fights) back to back to back |

Actually, Shinji Takamatsu is still on the team for sound design, and he hasn't had any directing role for 200+ episodes now, so I doubt that possibilty. It seems the biggest influence in pretty much everything for Gintama's anime is Fujita Yoichi, so he should be the one to direct and finish it off, but it could be that he just finds himself more comfortable with comedies like Osomatsu-san and Gintama [former]. Really sad, because even though I have no idea what exactly is wrong with the new season, I really don't want those issues to plague final ark, of all things. I also happen to think the new director is rushing to get new content out as fast as possible too, which bugs me, to say the least. |

| Well like I've said a bunch of times by now, if Gintama is going to try to be serious then it better be on the level of SA or FS (or the 2nd film if that counts), otherwise it'll only feel like a waste of time and potential that could've rather been spent on comedy episodes instead But if it's really the grand finale of Gintama then I can only hope that it'll manage to somehow close the lid on the whole thing in a somewhat satisfying way; I'm just not sure how exactly one would do that considering the absurd extent and contents of the series |

| @SenpaiJay98 Bro...there is no way that SS can be have a stable production when it's 3 Cours straight(counrimg Porori), since SS is like Yoshiwara in Flames, Kabuki 4 Devas, FS level action back to back to back This is why I said this: I also happen to think the new director is rushing to get new content out as fast as possible too, which bugs me, to say the least. The new director of Gintama doesn't seem competent in fully managing everything on his own. Gintama was always had 50 episodes or more for its seasons, except for Overdrive. If he decided to wait a little longer to air the Rakuyo ark, he would have gotten out that ark plus the Silver Soul ark without ruining Gintama's momentum. but no, he rushed to get the Rakuyo ark out, and he didn't have enough time to animate the rest of Silver Soul, so he pumped out the Porori season just to keep us occupied until he can get the rest done. All the shit he pulled up to now would be for nothing if he decides to break the seasons up further because regardless of the quality of directing Gintama has in the Silver Soul Ark, Gintama wouldn't be able to have enough momentum to build up sufficient hype for itself. In my opinion, the anime should have just waited a little longer before airing the Rakuyo ark, airing both arks in one season. Then after everything is over, they should have said "Wait! There's more!" and then adapt the unadapted arks, so that it doesn't feel like a cheap method to stall for time. I repeat: I hope to god that Fujita Yoichi returns for Gintama's final ark. I heard Osomatsu-san isn't airing into the Winter 2018 Season (I could be wrong though), so we might actually have hope for the possibility that he might've returned to supervise Gintama SS. Time can only tell. |

| Look at that rating, who decides the rating? R+ is elfenlied and attack on titan have such rating, how bloody will it be? Wow, ican't wait for the silver soul, but i also don't wanna watch it once a week :/ i don't know if i'll wait for summer to start it or not :/ Also, if we get 2 separate seasons each 12 ep, will the budget and thus the quality of anime increase? |

I wouldn't really blame Sorachi for that as he was running out of time, he needed to start the final arc as soon as possible or he might've gotten the Bleach/Toriko treatment. I think the Joui 3 fights were important since many wanted to see those characters in serious fights and it also gave them character development. I never felt like the Kamui situation was weird, it felt planned, because of all the set up from Umibozu arc and Yoshiwara in Flames arc(Umibozu telling Gintoki that he might be able to arrive at a different answer), I agree that Oboro's case could've been better, but as I said he probably felt the need to wrap up all the remaining plotlines before the Silver Soul arc and in many people's views, the Oboro chapters were very good in the manga(it was my favorite part of Rakuyou), but the Anime episode didn't feel as strong for some reason. But I agree that the Anime didn't rush it at all. |

I felt like if Rakuoyu would have been 2 different arcs, then you would need a hella complicated situation for Oboro and Kamui to be in different planets with Utsuro being somewhere else(including getting rid of Harsume also) I wonder why Rakuyou didn't get 13 episodes, I felt like 1 more episode(and cut the Pakuyso gag from 322) would have been almost perfect pacing for Rakuyou BTW Me and a couple other people (who gave me their opinions and critcisms) made a list for Gintamas animation levels, and I feel like people were too harsh on Rakuyou's production(still one of the weaker animated arcs but not shit throughout, the best Consistent animated arc was probably Kabuki 4 Devas, or Yoshiwara in Flames), this list is based off of judging the Whole episode...NOT scenes(and if they're is like Over almost 4-5 minutes of Reused footage then a episode gets Penalized(like a episode with a meh/bad animated first half with a good/great animated 2nd half would be on the same level as a episode with a Solid/ok First and Second Half), or if something was like the Kagura vs Kihetai scene in Episode 59 with amazing animation for 2 minutes...but after that was mostly a a dull looking(directed) episode with barely animation in it Keep in mind that I always though Gintama has average animation for the most part(with a few highlight episodes), and the ranking is based off of Gintama only/standards(not in general with other anime) SS+=Movie 2 SS= hopefully a Movie 3 in the future to fill this spot SS-=Movie 1 S+=235(lol, but it's Top tier) S=180, 305 S-=145, 214, 246, 304 A+=211, 142, 320 A= 61, 104, 178, 301 A-= 60, 141, 213, 260, 280, 314, 328 B+ 103, 105 144, 179, 215, 259, 279, 308, 313, 317, 319, 323 B= 59, 143, 177, 245, 281, 295, 312, 315, 324, 326 B-= 58, 102, 163, 244, 257, 261, 311, 321, 335 C+=140, 212, 245, 258, 307, 310, 316, 318, 325, 334 C= 101, 139, 181, 210, 302, 309, 322, 327 C-= 146, 300, 303 D+= 306 D=337 D-= 27 F+=84 F=156 F-=209(entire recap) |
