Is this where we find out there's only two people who watch this show?
Anyhow, this episode was pretty much a quality build up episode from what I saw - a little rushed in the beginning, but by the second half it had everything that made gintama gintama and was pleasant to watch.
Can't wait for the pay-off.

I really want to watch Gintama, but I'm not sure where to start? The manga? The first anime? Help me, /bun/!

Gintama is one of the few gems that both the anime and manga are godly, and different enough to warrant both.

The manga has a lot more artystle jokes, the anime has same-VA jokes, as well as quite a few anime-original stuff (which is mostly hit or miss).
It takes about 30 eps for everything to really be introduced and the anime to get the hang of things, but after that it's smooth sailing.

Just don't expect to marathon the series, as there's a lot of episodic stuff and that can get old fairly fast, though most of the arcs are great.

I've never heard of this series, but it sounds familiar.
Did you mistake it with Kintama, by chance?

>>43042

Do you even Kin, kid?

>>43042

No, Kintama is that comedic deconstructive parody of Shoujo manga/anime.

So is there a better arc than the 4 Devas?
I say nay.

Gindama is obviously the best, you guys.

>>43041
The thing about the gintama manga is that the font is super fucking small (even in japanese) and it gets a bit hard to read.

I read up to the most recent chapter (at the time) in the manga awhile ago and now I can't remember where that was. orz

>>43048
welcome to shitty low quality scans in general.


and oh dear lordy that mantama OP -- and I mean the lyrics, just wow.

>>43200
It made for a great finale, but I for one am surprised they didn't tack a backstory with sad bgm to kintoki.
All's well though - GINTAMA'S BACK!

>>43203
That sad Gintama track that gets played all the time is actually really sad. There aren't many BGMs that actually make me feel bad, but even when they're trying too hard to provoke emotion that track really gets me.

>>43200
Just watched this, so good.
Japan is fast as usual.

>>43204
Half the time that theme gets played in prologue to a kicker like shinpachi's facehugger anyhow, so I'm fine with its overusage.

So many reaction faces in this episode

>Japan airs HD-remastered episodes of random episodes from the 3:4 timeperiod of gintama with new OP/ED and a couple mins of new footage (prob Gintoki~sensei-esque stuff and a preview)

>crunchyroll just puts a link to the old episode, as is.

fuckdamn shitcunts crunchyroll.

CRUNCHYROLLLL
god dammit isn't this one of the more popular shows like the other shounen jump shows pay more attention
I don't care if gintama is nothing like the other shounen jump shows and is actually entertaining

New OP/ED, the start of a new arc, AND the second Gintama movie announced.

the real question is, after this arc ends will there be more rerun eps, or will the episodic thing start up again?

>>44466
The REAL question is will the new movie finish what this arc started?

>>44469
The REAL question is will the future serious arcs also feature gintama-universe changing events?

>>44477
> gintama-universe changing events
>shonen gag-series
>significant and notable changes that would alter the story permanently

So like, besides Zura bringing genocide upon the Amanto of which the premise and starting story revolved around and now only the 90%+ human-like ones remain on earth?

>>44479
Amantos really have been overshadowed for a while in gintama, haven't they.
Even previously somewhat featured characters like the stupid prince don't appear in the OP anymore (though having to include every character was beginning to cram up the gintama op a while back)

>>44482
>the stupid prince
I'm glad he hasn't appeared in a while, I hate him.

Otae learned how to cook something other than fried egg!

it's a miracle!

>>44785
Obi-One is fucking awesome, that voice fits him perfectly.

>>44785
goddamn this new arc has a fast intro. I wonder how many episodes it's going to take.

>>44823
First episode covered 2 chapters, and it's 8 chapters total.

This year's 16th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is revealing the title, release date, and the first piece of key visual art from the second Gintama feature film on Monday. Gekijōban Gintama Kanketsu-hen: Yorozuya yo Eien Nare (Gintama: The Movie: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya) will open throughout Japan on July 6.

The film will have an all-new story written by original manga creator Hideaki Sorachi. The Aikatsu! anime will take over the Gintama television anime series' time slot starting on April 4.

>The Aikatsu! anime will take over the Gintama television anime series' time slot starting on April 4.

So then, another year or so of hiatus for the anime to let the manga make some progress?

>>44843
I have ominous feelings about this "final chapters" part of the title.
I...what if they mean it?

>>44855

that's a pretty big 'if'

and with the timeslot, reruns that don't get all that many ratings in addition to no hopes of dvd sales (they are reruns, after all) weren't destined to stay very long.

Fuck Yoda

>[ReinForce] Gekijouban Gintama Kanketsuhen ~Yorozuya yo Eien Nare~ (BDRip 1920x1080 x264 FLAC)

I really liked this movie, it was a very Gintama movie and really made me want the anime back. One thing I felt was odd about it though. Who the hell is that guy on the far left? Has he always been there? I recognize Zura, Sakamoto, and Takasugi but that guy confuses me. He also looks kinda like Kondou.

>>47836
It was great.

>>47836
>>47838
The pacing stuck out in a few spots where they either transitioned from comedy and serious scenes too slowly or too quickly, but yeah it was gintama through and through. If this is the end of gintama I'd still always want a bit more, but I'd be fine with it.

>>47836

kondo with a beard.

Off to a great start so far.

Every night before I go to sleep I but something from the current season on while I'm laying in bed, and I usually last 5 maybe 10 minutes max before passing out. I put the new Gintama on and was giggling to myself so much that the episode finished and was more awake than when I started. I love this show.

Who wants to read something that's super interesting?

Test

I'm glad they addressed my question in >>47836

More comedy less forced drama please.

>>50764

But the question wasn't addressed, it was simply mentioned, and then completely dodged!
