THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Time to all go to Kagura and the Yato’s home planet, Rakuyou. And Nobunobu is in Sakamoto’s hands. Lol, the cabaret girls at Rakuyo aren’t that different from Otae since they’re all gorillas. Lol, what if that’s Kondo and the Shinsengumi are all at Rakuyou… jk. Lol, the Gorilla gag was longer than I remember, but it was great. Lol at Banzai being serious during the gag. Lol, everyplace where Banzai’s pointing out is exploding. OMG, Banzai takes all of the jokes seriously XD

Seems like the Harusame’s here to ambush everyone. Umibouzu has Takasugi safe though. And he’s ready to attack Utsuro. Meanwhile the od Joui rebels show what they’re made of and it was great! And the action starts now. And even the old Joui rebel’s partners and companions are great too! And Bansai finally used his OP strings. And the Harusame captains got teased a bit.

The old Joui rebels split up for now, but when they meet up, they promise that it'll be the four of them meeting up. Umibouzu's still OP af though. And each of the Joui rebels will have to fight with one of the Harusame captains. So Sakata Gintoki vs. Pluto Batou, Sakamoto Tatsuma vs. Uranus Hankai, and Katsura Kotarou vs. Neptune Shoukaku coming soon. First up will be Katsura vs. Neptune. Lol at the two wasting time at first. Next episode will have a lot of action and, um, Katsura manservice XD

3 and a half chapters adapted (chapters 559-561 and the first 6-7 pages of 562)

Good we get introduced to how all the Harusame pirates work, and some of their leaders are dispatched to fight the Joui 3.

I guess they will all get an episode from now on fighting those guys.

Also what's the point of you guys posting those screenshots.

Great episode!Lol'd at the gorilla moments calling the female gorilla Otae and Kiheitai's secret hideouts keep exploding one after another.The action was also top notch with Gintoki,Katsura and Sakamoto kicking ass along with Tatsuma's crew members and Joui Rebels.The Yato tribe is also in a pinch.Didn't expect the monkey guy being voiced by Koyama tbh.I can't wait for Katsura's fight.Despite I don't read the manga I knew what Katsura wanted to tell in the next episode's preview.

The best episode yet of the new season! I just loved it and the animation quality increased as well. Now I'm excited for the next few fights because I have faith BNP will do justice.

Now I can't wait for the next episode, Katsura vs. rotten monkey hype!

Another great episode. I love the serious scenes, and those serious scenes also make the comedic scenes twice as effective.

Abuto is really good at looking cool about not being strong enough to do something. I really love this guy. He knows he can't do something against Umibouzu. He pretty much says exactly that, but says it in a way that makes him look good.

Gintoki, Katsura and Sakamoto kicking ass is always fun. Gintoki especially was really badass in that scene. No wonder Bansai is starting to get attached to them. Speaking of Bansai, that scene where he pointed at building and caused them to explode was probably my favorite scene from the episode, especially Gintoki's comment. Also, the scene where Gintoki and others were acting stupid, and Shinpachi was being the straight guy, I really loved how Bansai continued to act impressed with them. As I said before, comedy works especially well when it happens in serious scenes like this. Bansai is perfect for that, when he takes every comedic scene too seriously.

Umibozu is becoming more and more badass. Even Utsuro thinks that he is a serious threat. I can't wait to see a fight between those two (unless he finds Kamui first of course).

Those 3 new enemies look really interesting. One of them seems to have a grudge against Gintoki. I can't wait to see that fight. Speaking of things I can't wait for, Katsura will finally have a real fight (probably). We always knew that Katsura was on Gintoki and Takasugi's level, but we never saw him fight for serious so far. I am sure that this will be a great fight.

Overall a really good episode. I loved it. Then again, there are really not many Gintama episodes that I didn't love.

Harusame Division captains vs Joi Veterans. Going to be epic! Hopefully they go all out with the animation. Gintama sells really well, so I'd expect them to put some good budget into the upcoming fights. I hope I get to see Katasura kick some epic ass!

Also these episodes go by way too fast, I wish all the episode were already out x.x

It was average... The serious arcs were never among the strong spots of Gintama.
They are just cliche shounen story development... I hope that still there are good comedy arcs to come.

The ball finally got rolling this episode- definitely the best one so far (of the new season) and if it keeps getting better, I can see this being one of my favourite "serious" arcs! We got some good comedy too, so I'm a happy bunny.

I'm also happy for Zura...he finally gets the spotlight. This time it's Takasugi sitting out on all the fun lol
Also, did he really just get lumbered with the toughest of the "Mad Stars"? Pretty tall order there, I hope he'll be okay. Definitely looking forward to a Gin vs Bato fight in the future tho.

Wondering what's gonna happen to Nobu Nobu now...is he just gonna be a sitting duck bc I'm pretty sure he has no use whatsoever now? Will he stop being such an asshat?

Ughhh, I don't wanna wait for a whole week ;-;

But the arc in the manga wasnt that good to begin with, its basically up to the seiyuus to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

Great that they give the cyborg guy Hit/Silver Fang voice, and Monkey has Yamato/Starkk/Emiya voice.

They better not fuck up Katsura fight.

Personally I really liked this arc in the manga ! Though I do think it's strength is later, when
. But still, I can agree it's the weakest animated arc so far in the series, but just for now.

Because I still really liked this episode. The animation and the pace was a lot better than in the episode 318, even if it wasn't perfect. I hope it'll just get better and better from now on!

I beg to differ. IMO the manga itself is better than ever, and this arc is perhaps even better developed than Shogun Assassination arc.

Great episode again.

The gorilla gag with references to Otae and Kondo were really funny.
Bansai blowing up temples with his finger was hilarious. I knew he had finger laser power. It would have been even better if he had yelled "Death beam". XD Him trying to cut his finger after that was hilarious too.

Action scenes were great and really badass, especially Gintoki wrecking those fodder. Looks like our Joui trio have split now, can't wait for the full Joui 4 reunion.

Nice of Umibozu to save Takasugi, Damn he is OP. That boulder throw onto the ship was awesome.
So we get introduced to our main enemies. The Three Mad Stars.

The gag at the end with Zura talking about titles was really funny, can't wait for this fight.

You moaners drive me nuts. The art and animation was fine and the previews animation was great! Plus this episode had great pacing, directing, and acting. Your damn ungrateful. They're doing the manga plenty of justice.

And to the person who complained about the manga arc. Try to reread it all in one go. It's got a great theme and was really important to the story over all.i get why reading it weekly can hurt the experience. And Just a generic shounen? Hell no, Its a fantastic arc that other shonens should aspire to reach. Was it perfect? No. but it was damn good.

i strongly disagree with you , this arc is one of the finest arcs in all manga , not just gintama , its a really action-packed arc with alot of heartwarming and heartwrenching moments , from what we saw in the first 3 episodes , i don't really think they will handle it right , but one can always hope :)

Pay no mind to them, they just mindlessly hate on everything that doesn't exactly meet what they want to see and doesn't have ghibli level animation quality.

I agree with you, most people don't understand how amazing it is that gintama is still on air and how awesome the plot can be.
Some people are whining about the lack of comedy, but I disagree because the plot is finally developing which is great and there is enough comedy from time to time.
They couldn't make this arc any better than the way it is now. :)

Story-wise, yes its gintama, its really good.. but the animation could've been better...
I mean, the current animation is decent and not that bad... but come on.. its the last 2 arcs of gintama... it deserves better...
But still, i'm happy that it got adaptation tho... i could only hope that at least they save some budget for the fights that will going on..

It's actually pretty impressive for a long runner, and besides, the preview looks very very good. Seriously, watch katsura draw his sword, fluidity and small details are on point. This gives me confidence in some takasugi vs gin level animation during key points of this arc, including next episode.
