----------------------------------------
Probably the episode that adapted the least amount of chapters so far (only 2 and a half-ish). The first segment was funny, with Gintoki commenting on how Takasugi appeared at the end of the last season and still stole the show. I guess that edgelord is hard to beat, lol XD

It was a really nice episode overall though, with some nice backstories for the Kiheitai members. The backstory segments had a really nice visual filter on it too, and the overall directing for the episode was cinematic-like.

Lol, they killed me with the drain the pond part.
We finally saw the moment when the Kiheitai was formed, cool stuff.

An okay start and continuation of the previous season... I do wonder if they'll completely focus on action story again or if we'll also see some regular Gintama slapstick.

I forgot about the second part of the Silver Soul Arc!

The OP and Ed are great as expected from the modern Gintama.

Alright, this first episode served its purpose as a flash recap of the last season and an into to this season + some backstory relating to Takasugi which is great! I have been wanting to know how Matako, Bansai and Takechi got affiliated with Takasugi, even though it's only a quick backstory.

That pond scene was 10/10.

Both the op and Ed make me cry. It's so heartbreaking as it reminds me that we will never get more Gintama. These are the last 14 episodes we'll ever get.

The previous season continues! Well, seems like they're doing a good job, at this pace they'll stop the thing.

A pretty good start. That pond scene was hilarious. Both the OP and ED are amazing. We get a flashback to show how the Kihetai members came together which was great.




I want to know what it is,

The pond scene was the best part of the episode. I love the OP but the ED is so so imo.
Maybe it will grow on me.

They're off to a great start, I don't know if there's any reference to the pond scene but that was hilarious.

A little backstory about Kihetai is nice :D

And the OP is so good! Both OP and ED visuals feels so nostalgic I want to cry :'( 13 episodes left before the end 😭

Final stretch, excited but also kind of sad.
Pond scene was funny, I didn't recognize the characters kagura and gintoki saw, one of them looked like the reaper though? Idk
Takasugi is so cool, I've loved him ever since season 4. So some backstory for him will be great. Also, why are there so few comments? The first cour had over 50 each episode and this one has less than 20.
13 episodes to go.

Also, this ep really flew by. Great start

Nice OP/ED.

So, that's where those two ended up. The show kinda forgot about them. lol I wonder if they'll have screen time soon. I wanna see that reaper chick in action again.

That young Matako definitely has a nice fresh body. She still do at present. hehe

That was pretty good to start the season and especially to see how was formed the Kiheitai back then, now it's back to full hype stuff in the present

Great way to start the part 2!
Flashback of how Kiheitai was formed. Everyone is here fighting the war, and Yato clan trying their best to destroy earth.
Shogun nobunobu is becoming more & more dependable shogun.

Next time Harushame & Kamui will join the war!
Great OP & ED!

Well it's a shame that the reaper girl didn't make it, since I wonder of her interaction with Tsukuyo.....

Quite nice to have some Kihetai backstory, it didn't took much effort for Takasugi to recruit all of them....

it pains me so much now that i've reached this far man. the last 14 episodes of 1 of my 2 favourite animes now.

the kiheitai backstory was cool and takasugi being an interesting character as usual.

Great start to the second half. The backstory was quite nice, the flashback was also really nice and also the beginning with the draining, they really forgot about those 2, although I wouldn't be surprised if I forgot about seeing Asaemon.

Now with that being said, OMG the OP and ED are the best, easily the perfect combination and my favorite opening from Gintama. The PV was really hype so I hope this is just as good.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
