Gintama: The Semi Final continues the story just at the bridge scene where Gintoki meets Shinpachi. It was more like the calm before the storm as these episodes provide very little to no progress in the plot. So if you want to experience the same old journey of Gintoki and the others, you have come to the right place.

Both the episodes cover different stories, and both are just filled with humour. While one shows the "So-called" reunion of the Yorozuya, the other one shows epic adventure of Kondo Isao of how he deals with his marriage. The ending message was really painful for any Gintama fan as we all know what that was.

The Opening was 'I Wanna Be...' by SPYAIR, the same that was used in the Second half of Shirogane no Tamashii-hen - Kouhan-sen and Ending was 'Wadachi' yet again by SPYAIR, the one that was used in The Final Movie. Though nothing new was created for this Special, I still don't mind getting that nostalgic feeling I had and getting hyped for the Final Movie

Yet again, it was really refreshing to see the cast and the adventure again like old times. It just felt like I have been reunited with my old friend, though its really painful to see them go away after this. Both of these episodes will just remind you the bond Yorozuya has and how much Kondo cares about his friends and Shinsengumi. It also explained what motives do the character have and what and why things have changed and how important Gintoki is to each one of them.

This was the end and I didn't find anything to not like about it, though there was one problem that this was just 2 episodes, wish it could be longer. Gintama is an Anime that continued for 15years and has finally ended. I don't think I am the only one who doesn't want it to end. Well as the saying goes, "All good things must come to an end."
Gintama is a show that has made me laugh, made me cry and as I said had characters who were like a friend to me. Both of these episodes made me excited for the Final Movie and I am sure it will be one of the Greatest Films I have ever watched.
I give this Special an 8.5/10 or more like a 9/10
