Really glad to hear you liked Mind Game though! I took the same message from it, and was also just as confused on the first watch xD
The ending is wacky and confusing, but man I love it. It ties up the connections the main characters have with each-other (mostly through their parents and the old whale man's life, and how through his actions his child (the old villain guy who smokes a lot) ended up the way he was and how he got with Myon's mother, and then lost her to Myon's dad, and so forth) but it also leaves you with a simple but great message at the same time, that you realise was gracefully worked on throughout the entire film: That with how everything is connected, life is amazing and full of never-ending possibility, and that, unlike how the main character originally was; you shouldn't get hung up on silly things when there's so much to live, do and achieve. At the end we see the main character come to this understanding of life (by seeing like us, all the countless different ways his life could go and all the joys, simple or complicated, he can experience) and by doing so he was effectively "born" again, as were the other characters alongside him when they came out of the whale (their nakedness symbolizing the "rebirth"). Through the introspection they made in that time in the whale, looking at each-others lives and realising what they were missing "out" on (being sepreated from society and "life" as we know it); they gained new and proper appreciation for everything that is life.
That's my take-away anyway. :P Hope it makes some sense, I haven't watched the film in awhile and I tried to keep an otherwise very long rant, short. xd
If you've seen it, what did you think? And if you haven't, I'd recommend it since our tastes seem similar.
So you're watching Gintama that's great.
Well let me give you an advice.
Just for the information.
The first Episodes and the following first Episodes can be quite average.
I know that it can be for many people. So maybe for you as well.
But it will improve a lot afterwards.
So I hope you will keep on watching Gintama.
