Can't people change Gintama' ep count to Gintama? Is just stupid to MAL have separeted both...

If One Piece stoped now for 1 year would we put him finished and put One Piece' even if the name is the same?...

Uh, but the name isn't the same.

The ' is officially part of the title. You can see it in the logo: http://www.sunrise-inc.co.jp/gintama/

And every anime db/encyclopedia I'm aware of separates it. As they should.

This. There was even a segment in one of the episodes where they were answering mail from the fans, and the question about it was brought up and Gintoki said that the ' represents that it is a new series and not to be confused with the original series.

I hope someone keeps updated as to the 'coming-back' date.
Maybe there will be a new title? Maybe the producers should rewatch ep.50 for some ideas.

Must not read the Manga

I have had to tell myself that everyday since the day the anime ended. I want to be surprised when it returns.

isn't it also the joke that Tama means balls, silver balls :)

Specifically the only time tama is referred to as "balls" is in kintama as in "golden eggs" which used to be a popular way to say balls. Though you could make the connection between eggs and balls it is generally only kintama.

I can't freakin' wait for some new Gintama, I mean I've been re-watching to the point where I know every line.
