| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- An alright episode, although none of the normal Gintama brilliance. Story 5/5 | Action 3/5 | Sadness 3.5/5 | Comedy -/5 A well rounded off story, which was fitting for 2 episodes. Although attempted, the action just wasn't what it could be. Probably because of the change of directors after the Itou arc (both old and new worked on that one.) IMO the Yoshiwara arc had the same problems, with the action not being as great as that of the Benizakura/Itou arcs, even though it was as good/better in the manga. The sadness seemed too provoked with the flashbacks, and not that natural. Falls behind the levels shown in other episodes, such as 87, 130, and at times 153. Still alright though. |
| Yeah, I just wasn't feeling it. I always want more action, but nothing compares to the Benizakura/Itou Arcs. The animation seemed a bit different to me as well, but maybe that's just because I haven't watched any Gintama in a while. Eh episode. Want moar Gintama D: |

| I dunno. Something was off about this episode but it was still alright. Waiting for the next episode because I lol'd that chapter of the manga. |
   |
| Well that was boring. The story felt overused and that yakuza guy was annoying. At least I know the next episode will make me laugh. |
 |
| Lol, I really feel like an alien in this topic. Because I.. actually.. enjoyed it.. AAAAAHH! I do agree the action has been better in the series, but I actually loved the twists and sentimental feelings. When that Nakamura guy died, I had a tear in my eye too T-T I guess I'm just a sucker for emotional scenes, no matter how many consider it cliche, lol. |
| Hm, was an average episode. A little on the generic side, the typical Gintama two-episode-drama where the bad guy turns out good in the end, but sadly without humour or brilliance - and I already felt that there wasn't much effort put into the previous episode, what with all the repetition of frames and stuff. But! As always, they managed to drag a tear from my cold eyes at the ending. I'm such a sucker for Gintama melodrama. Still looking forward to the next episode(s)!

| rawrs ~ haha very retardedly funny xD |

| How can they take such a good story and make it so fucking boring!? Oh well. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Nice twisted plot |
 |
| well i liked the story but i didnt like the action or comedy there wasnt any comedy so i cant really rate the comedy but the episodes needed some kind of comedy, action it was light but needed more if there wasnt gonna be comedy throughout like during benizakura/shinsengumi rebellion arcs but i really liked the story pretty sad but cool |

tecu said: Where is my Gintama? Meh arc if you ask me...Where's my comedy?! |
| Ehh. Didn't have a "Gintama" feel to it. |
| ok, i love gintama a lot, but this downright sucked. i feel like gintama gets a little to dramatic/dry for its own good sometimes. if its not gonna be some huge arc like benizakura or yoshiwara then dont use it....these two episode arcs kill me. stick to the COMEDY pleaseeeeeeeeeee and im sick of gintoki always helping out/the bad guy turning good. some originality please |

| I thought it was a pretty good arc actually. And, the bad guy didn't just "suddenly" turn good. It was pretty obvious even in the previous episode that he wasn't "bad". |

| This show has a lot of serious arcs now and I think people are worried about losing their comedy at this point. No one should worry the best arcs are yet to come and a lot more comedy is on the way Gintama will always be about the same things it always has been! But about this arc it wasn't all that great except I love listening to Gin-chan's speeches so I enjoyed it. |
 |
| That was a good short arc in Gintama, love it. The fact that he didn't tell the boss about the his son committing suicide was a way of him being a Noble guardian dog in a way it's still protecting him. What's with the hate with this arc? It wasn't even bland at all. |

| So he suicided himself, uh. It was pretty obvious that he didn't killed the master son, he was always contradicting himself. it was a good episode. Gintoki really is invincible or what? xD |

| The only thing on my mind was: "Where are Gin-sans bandages?" |
| Not the best episode, but still entertaining. I didn't expect the son to have killed himself. |
| My eyes, they can't handle seeing Gintoki getting hurt so much. T_T Although I'm saying the obvious but Shinpachi considers Gin as a family. ^^ Kyoujiro's past was really sad. :( But I wonder why he killed his own old man? That Yakuza's son? Did he really went through the suicide route just because of his jealousy? Seriously? This was...so much to see. I'm genuinely shocked Kyoujiro has gained my respect. This Yakuza is an honourable man. Kyoujiro was like a lone wolf, he never wanted to see his adoptive father hurt. He was more of a real son than that Yakuza's biological son. I'm shocked after watching this episode man... |

| To be honest, I'm still a bit depressed after watching this short arc. Gintama always had the way to make my eyes tear out. It was not as bad as Shinsengumi rebellion arc (Itou reminded me on myself, so it made me cry even more ;_;), but it was awesome. When I've realized that guy was actually defending his old man, it made me touched and sad at the same moment. Maybe drama was a bit forced but hey, it's Gintama! Even if it's bad for few episodes, it will become better. Looking forward to seeing more Tama though. I've liked her, and she's definitively not getting enough screen time since her arc ended. Music: 10/10 - Melancholic, sad OST is still ringing in my ear. Action 8/10 - Since Shinsengumi rebellion arc is still fresh in my mind, this is just an usual Gintama battle. How the hell did Gintoki survived THAT tho? Drama 9/10 - It was awesome, it was sad, and maybe a bit forced. Humor 0/10 - Seriously, what the hell? Gintama is supposed to be funny, optimistic, making me cheerful. I'm depressed here! Anyway, maybe a lenghty review of one episode but it was worth it. :D *cried my eyes out* |

| Action arc - meh. But it had some feels - decent episode. |
| Gintoki saw right thru him |
 |
| It wasn't good. Fortunately, it took only 2 episodes. I'm missing Gintama vibes in this one. |
| I didn't like this arc that much either... this episode had a few nice moments and a competent flashback, but it simply didn't resonate emotionally to me. Gintoki seemed totally out of place here. It felt forced to have him as the catalyst of the emotions in this arc. Of course he is the main character and I want this emotional involvement to be part of the series but his presence sometimes is too invasive (I thought the same with the Shinsengumi rebellion arc, for instance). In this case, there is very little chemistry between Komainu and Gintoki to talk about a strong enough emotional bond. |
| everyones trashing this episode but i thought it was good!! is it like all of the other softer episodes? yeah, because this anime doesnt have a plot so it has to be generic and sappy. i thought it was really dramatic and moving!! |
 |
| Beautiful story, the episode was good. Not as good as the previous arc but still good. The come back of Gintoki was well done. |
| ALright episode, episodes with Katsura coming next. Yass |

| This was a nice little arc. 4/5 |
 |
| Cool arc. Liked it. |
| What a touching plot twist... I liked this mini arc :) |
 |
| Gintama is killing me with this drama lately. Two arcs in a row ended with me wiping tears away from my eyes. Maybe this mini-arc wasn't among Gintama's best, but the sentimentalism was really touching... the episode ending with Kyojiro dead at his father's grave really got to me. I kind of figured Kyojiro hadn't actually killed the son, but I was still shocked when it'd shown he hung himself. Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to some actual comedy after these last two arcs. |

| Wow, that was really good, cool fight scenes. Didn't really explain how Gin still lives though lol. I'm surprised he wanted to save the guard dog, although he was cute but then he died anyway. |
 |
| Nicely executed episode. Though i'm used to this kind of mini-arc from Gintama but it never cease to amaze me. |
