This episode reminded me how cute Sadaharu is <3 Too bad the series didn't have more episodic comedy goodness like this :<

Well the anime catches up very quickly to manga's chapter even with that reruns.. Gintama manga now on 438, and the anime stops at chap 410, so we need to wait for a while then.
Yeah but that's because they only animated the serious arcs, they completely skipped over the chapters that were between these serious arcs. Although I do hope that they'll eventually animate those chapters, some of them are just pure comedy gold! Hopefully a 4th season will be announced, a full one at that, no more reruns between arcs!

Beautiful, just beautiful x3
I still managed not to cry, but I admit this episode really hit me <3 It was so sweet and heart-warming, but also sad :3 Sadaharu really resembles his owners :3 Glad Zura also appeared, I missed him xD
Enchousen had many of these, it was as perfect as always <3 I'll really miss it (despite currently rewatching Gintama xD). And after every Gintama season, the temptation to read the manga is stronger and becomes so hard to resist xD I'll surely end up reading it eventually xD
Now waiting for the movie and for another Gintama season in the future :3

Well I love Gintama as much as always, but I am little disappointed that we only got 13 new episodes this season. I know they announced it would be about half reruns, but I don't think this season deserves the #1 spot on MAL. It's gonna be a long (9 month-ish) wait until the movie gets subbed in high quality :(. I'm gonna miss Gintama!

It was great and all - but I have one complaint. They forced in way too many serious arcs in a row. Gintama doesn't flourish in this fashion, it only has such good dramatic serious touching and sad stuff possible BECAUSE of the fact you get breaks inbetween. Even a short episode break (like Sadaharu's episode) being mixed in would have made it feel better, but I just couldn't give a shit during the final arc after having just finished the previous one. It kinda ruined it somewhat for me because I was already having feels from the prior arc and then the next episode kicks right into another serious one.

Also, all the arcs were far from filled with comedy, which is fine on occasion, but again there were too many STRICTLY SERIOUS arcs in a row here. The only time they tried lightening up the mood was for like a third of the first episode of the obi one arc, and that stopped very suddenly.

Otherwise it was great, sad to see it end.

However them RUSHING through the serious arcs to catch up with the manga and skipping some comedy arcs makes me wonder if the film really will be the finale of the franchise. There's no other real reason for them to have tried so hard to squeeze in every serious arc possible into these 13 episodes other than that as far as I can think of anyway. Many people have been guessing the Gintama manga would come to a close this year as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if the new film will really be the end of the entire franchise as a whole. I know the title is a parody - but this does NOT mean the movie is going to be a joke, nor does it mean that the title isn't applicable. Actually, the fact it's an obvious parody title makes it seem more like it may be legit and that the 'troll' in this situation is tricking people into assuming it's going to be another 'troll', while really being what it says it is. Gintama does have to end some day, and with where it's at currently I wouldn't be surprised if that some day was very soon.

Finally they showed Katsura's whereabout, he's still on standby.XD

It was good episode even though ts a story about dog. Just to show that Soraich can make story with any character good.

Gin-san once again act like a bastard but the truth is he is the one who understand people,animals and alien the most.

Its sad that the anime has to end again but it can't be helped, the manga is quite close to the anime.

I'm sure the movie being the ending is just another trolling no matter what they say to convince us otherwise.

The anime ended....again T_T Hope it comes back...It's Gintama we're talking about anyways lolool. Now i have to live off of re-runs to fulfill my Gintama desires until it's back. >w> and the manga too. Can I just stay in a corner until the movie comes out? I already miss Gintama. ;A; bebe come baaaacckckckck.

Katsura I missed you and turns out you were on standby again lawls. As always, Gintama is just perfect in all it's glorious ways. c':

Wait people are saying that they think the manga will end this year? Where, who, and why? Sure the Ikkoku Keisei arc did set up the finale for the future but otherwise it seems like it's business as usual in Gintama. Did Sorachi or someone hint at such a thing? Other than the movie I mean.

I do worry about the movie really might be the end of the series, but...even IF the manga ended this year, that's still a year's worth of material that Sunrise would be throwing away, especially when I heard they've already animated some of the future episodes already (I can't confirm this though). Gintama is too popular to throw away like that.
Anyway, I feel pretty confident this is in line with their usual trolling and actually mean saying good bye, for -now-. Or has some people suggested, the "final chapter" is, on top of being a parody, eluding to saying good bye to Gintoki's past and how he wants to be part of Yorozuya forever.

I'm giving this show a 9/10.

I love the serious arcs, but the blend with the comedic episodes is what makes Gintama a masterpiece anime altogether. Which sadly this season was lacking (I don't include re-runs, since I skipped them).

And if they do plan to make a season four, hopefully it will be in two years time. I reckon thats the best time to continue the anime. Long wait, but it will definitely be worth it.

It would be nice episode. But maybe because i was watching gintama in one run (i mean 13 episodes in 3 days :D) this one was worse, no that's wrong. I should say: less great then other episodes this season.

But this season was one of the best, especially second arc. I liked that Shinpachi was more likeable and he isn't such wuss anymore. He also appeared to be strong swordsman, which wasn't so visible before. And Tsukuyo x Gin vibe was great too

Too bad we have to probably wait another year for next season.

Really Gintama like ending for this season, damn, only Gintama can make a story about 2 dogs so serious and touching imo :)

I'm willing to wait 9 months or a year but they do have to announce a new season at some point, guess I'll re-watch some old episodes/arcs or read the manga version of these arcs. 10/10, I loved every episode and I really liked the more serious tone for a change.

I don't get why they only aired the main story arcs and not all the in between arc chapters. There where some hilarious chapters that they skipped. Pretty stupid to only air the arcs if you ask me. They should have done the same thing they did with Gintama'. I don't know why they are taking this direction with the series. I'd understand breaking so that the manga has a chance to turn out more chapters. But going back only to animate main arcs and padding everything with re-runs is kinda retarded. Why not pad it with the padding that's already written in the manga. I guess they had a really low budget this season, and/or felt like cutting corners and only animating arcs.

Sadaharuuuuu >3<

That was a really touching and adorable episode. I was wondering when Sadaharu was getting his own episode again, this cant be the last sadaharu ep! D:<

I think when they made this episode the creators werent sure themselves if they were gonna continue the anime that's Gintoki and the crew were bantering about whether or not the anime would continue. Usually they would just joke that the anime will end, period.

I think there is a good chance it's not over yet. It's not like Gintama's been running on steam or has been declining in quality. The anime crew might just need a breather or the manga just needs some time to accumulate material or the producers just need some money. Whatever it is I'm sure Gintama is good enough to always have a chance to add more animation.

I'm excited to see the movie :). I've been looking forward to know about Gintoki's past with their teacher and in the war era since forever!

For once Gintama ended off with a proper episode! While it wasn't a too huge bang to end everything it sure was nice and slightly emotional! In general this third season of Gintama while way smaller was way better than anything we've seen before!

I really enjoyed this whole thing and I must say because it's that short they had less time to fuck things up and even with this good ending ontop of it I'll give this a 9/10!

Lets see what the new movie of Gintama will bring us, and perhaps in the future a new season?
