| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm...I didn't like this episode very much. |
   |
| OK episode, the detective crying for his mama, and that hooker spanking scene were pretty funny. Can't be mad at that "hard boiled" jazz tune either. This one should pick up next episode. |
| "hard boiled" got annoying adter 5 minutes, hopefully the next ep will better |
 |
| I liked it. You have to be hard-boiled yourself to understand the beauty of this episode camus. |

| Low budget ep is low budget. Though the noir spoofness amused me. |

| this episode is hard boiled epic failure ): |
| lol |
| worst episode ever, skipped most of it and lowered the score. |
| Definitely the worst episode of Gintama... Easily takes the prize from ep 1+2... Although it did lead up to 85, which was good. |

| Geez you guys were a bit harsh. Sure the first 7 minutes or so were crap, but it was still pretty funny at a couple parts. At least I found another idiot for my sunglasses club :P |
 |
| I love this episode so quite I can't uderstand why everyones comlain. Mayben I'm a hard-boiled woman or something..;) |
| I'm only a girl with metaphysical soles... |
| He? hm. i dunno, i skipped it from halfway to the end |
 |
| I didn't think there would be an episode of gintama that I'd dislike but this one was really draggy and bad. Still Gintama rules :) |
     |
| This was comedic, but the episode was downright terrible only in the first 4 MINUTES. There was just too much commentary from the soft-boiled detective. |

| this ep rly sucked. im half tempted to skip the next ep but idk, i dont like skipping thru stuff and my friend said this arc has only 2 eps so i guess il endure it |
| Worst episode ever. |
| I can't believe how annoying this episode was -_-' The detective is annoying as fuck and I can't believe I have to watch his stupid face in the next episode too. The only fun parts were when Gin-san and Shimpachi reacted to the stupid fucks stupidity. Shitty episode. Sent with Mal Updater |

| Yeah, probably the weakest episode yet. Only a few things, like the stripper whipping scene really amused me. But, what really hurt this episode is being right after the genius episode 83 and Yagyu arc. Kotori said: worst episode ever, skipped most of it and lowered the score. Lowering the score of a long series that has been consistently funny for one episode is ridiculous to me. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| If memory serves me this really is the worst ep in the whole of Gintama. Maybe only a handful of others in its range. |
| meh it was an ok episode not too funny but hopefully the next will be better |
 |
| I'm harrdo-bourido and i found this episode hilarious! Sure, it's not the best episode ever, but it's not the worst either. (I have a hard time thinking of a bad Gintama episode) |
| pretty bad ep |
 |
| Nope this episode wasn't good. By far the worst one yet :/ |
| MAAAAN that episode was decent. It wasn't good or bad. It was HARDBOILED. ahaha..see what I did there... |
 |
| It was so annoying that it made my balls hard-boiled |
 |
| It was an okey episode, didn't really enjoyed this one too much. |
 |
| For someone who loved Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer this was pure gold! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardboiled |

| worst episode so far.... im glad gin-san added some humor |
| It wasn't one of the great episode, but it was still good. The beginning was too long. I'm pretty sure that old man is the original fox. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| I think people would have a better opinion of this episode in general if they didn't drag out that painfully long 5 minute opening full of still images and uninteresting dialogue. This was far from the best episode, but I think those first 5 minutes really spoiled the mood and any humor that could have been derived from the hard-boiled idiot was ruined because they already mercilessly beat the hard-boiled horse dead in those few beginning minutes. They killed all of the jokes long before any of them ever had a chance to be funny. If you're reading this and you haven't watched this episode yet, SKIP the first five minutes. Just completely skip it altogether. You're not missing anything worth mentioning, and by doing so you are likely saving any humor the rest of the episode might contain. Then, after you finish the episode, you can go back and watch those first five minutes if you'd like, so you can see what you spared yourself from watching. |

| Meh, didn't laugh aloud even once. |
| All of my wats in this episode. "I'm so hard boiled detective" lol. And he sleeps with a teddy too. Loved the way Gin calls the old man Master and hard boiled. |
