I prioritize enjoyment no matter how depressing or whatsoever, any anime that makes me feel something is easily 10/10 (ehem Daily Lives of Highschool Boys). I'll be honest I never smiled this much over a show. I HAD SO MUCH FUN WATCHING THIS!! I'm hyped for every battle scenes thinking "that's a lot of movements, what about the budget??!!" Gintoki's complaints about the animation and the staff all throughout the 300+ episodes grew on me. This is Gintama, of course it'll never be bad and I'm glad that my expectations are met with the unexpected transitions. Gintama has a knack of having almost everyone move unlike other animes, which is amazing considering those little details are highly appreciated with the gag of "no funds". It just fits. You can tell the whole Gintama team are passionate (I don't wanna spoil just in case but I totally forgot about the ending segment bits, I'm very grateful they added that and made me remember)


SLIGHT SPOILERS... I guess?


It blows my mind how fun this is and that battle with Utsuro!! THAT'S NEW TO ME, ALL THOSE TRANSITIONS ARE HEAVEN TO MY EYES. I've never seen that kind of visualization. I know I'm not the only one who's blown away.

Everytime I watch Gintama it feels great to let loose and let the feelings get to me, laugh with them, cry with them, get angry, disgusted, embarrassed- Gintama makes me feel genuinely. And I genuinely love the movies, especially this one. This is my new favourite. I'm getting repetitive but only in Gintama that I enjoyed everything. Every frame even. It can't compete with Violet Evergarden but for me, I appreciate their efforts plus it adds to their charm.

It looks good enough, I can't even see it properly since I'm laughing so much with my internal monologues. I'm screaming inside, I'm so hyped!! My heart's beating so fast from beginning to end, the anxiety, happiness, sadness- my heart won't relax at all until I saw [SPOILERS AHEAD] Tama. Part 3 with Tama calmed my heart that it's really over and I must accept that.


This is the only movie that I know being considerate about it being the Final, I can say I'm satisfied... typical way for Gintama to truly end. They gave us all in just one movie, like they're making sure we won't have complaints XD

I know that some will first think the part 3 are dragged out- that's what I thought too when I switched to being critical but then a minute after I really think that it's just Sorachi, Director and the whole team being considerate in giving a not-so-empty ending. Congrats to them, they delivered it well for someone usually stoic like me. I can't believe it. SPYAIR is like Gintama branded at this point lol... they complete each other, I wouldn't ask for another band, I mean anyone is good in their own way but SPYAIR/DOES/TommyHeveanly9 captures Gintama really well. Don't take me wrong SPYAIR on it's own is good, but personally Gintama + SPYAIR is better. (Basically Gintama openings and endings are the best)

moving on...

TL;DR : It was a hell lot of fun and I'd rewatch it again (after rewatching some of the older episodes... I miss Gintama!!) I'm glad to be back and I'll surely add this as a reason why Gintama is my top 1 anime of all time ^^ Thank you everyone for bringing Gintama to life, domou arigatou Sorachi-san!
