Based on the preview, we're going to see Zura and Elizabeth. Elizabeth bitch slapping the fuck out of someone (I wasn't paying attention to who the victim was, not that it matters).

This was a pretty depressing episode but knowing the Shinsengumi, they're not going to take this one lying down.

Kondo-san has and always be one of my favorites in Gintama. Even though he's a stalker and utter perv who shat his pants during his engagement with Princess Gorilla, the way he looks after and worries about the Shinsengumi like his own children is very touching.

Yeah, it was jut a dream at the moment kondo has only been arrested..
sadly those old days are pretty much gone :(


So Kondo still alive right ? i still can't believe they jump straight to The Farewell Shinsengumi arc, they skipped like 2 arcs before this one, i haven't read this one yet, Gintama will be ended sooner than i thought :(

No doubt in my mind that'll end this Spring. If they decide to throw out comedy episodes right after this... It'll feel way too weird. After this arc, there's even more action to come. We won't be getting this next action arc either 'cause it's not even done in the manga.

But maybe by the time this arc is completed in the anime, the current arc in the manga would finish ? The current arc in manga probably has under 5 chapters left.
Uhm... Maybe. But I feel like they would just end it at the cut off of 51 episodes, like last time.

I want to skip all the filler and jump straight to the "Assassination of Shinsengumi" arc. What episode does it begin?

What a depressing episode. Though, Gintama always mixed comedy with drama, but now i guess we should say goodbye to old lighthearted stuff .

On bright side, Zura will return in the next episode.

Yeah I'm also getting the feeling that its been planned like that. It all just fits too well to think that there will be another cour after this.

There's no way the current conflict in the manga will get wrapped up in 5 chapters, unless the editors tell Sorachi to rush it with mega speed.

Decided to save 2 episodes to watch in a row on the weekend, its been raining in my room for the last 45 minutes. It kinda screwed with me when even Gintoki was so broken apart that he was walking toward Hijikata and Sougo with his head down.

Hijikata looks cool without his Shinsengumi uniform, it's pretty rare to see him in casual Samurai looking style. And nice to see that Hard-boiled detective with his sidekick as well (Is his sidekick a male or female? I still confuse about that)

Anyway, farewell Shinsengumi.. and cant wait Zura in some serious action next.

Damn the atmosphere was depressing (as it should be). The art and animation was solid! Really liked how they put some quality into it.

Kondo again showing why I respect him as a character, and Toshi's tear was pretty sad.

If Sorachi kills of Kondo and Matsudaira he has massive balls. Although I can't see kondo dying.

A small wish of mine would be for Katsura to be the next Shogun, just imagine that.

So he really died... Matsudaira was pretty awesome, acting all sassy in front of Nobunobu xD.

I hope the part where Kondo-san was beheaded was just a dream Hijikata had.

I'm not ready for all these sad stories T_T. These OSTs are all so sad and beautiful at the same time. They describe so well the mindset of the characters.

Matsudaira has some big balls, but I really really really hope Kondo will not die. Gintoki's eyes were perfect, there are so many emotions in them.

Nononononononono. I am guilty of wishing for more seriousness from Gintama but CUT ME COME SLACK. LEMME GET OVER SHOGUN'S DEATH BEFORE YOI START THE NEXT FEELS TRIP. NOOOO.

:'(

This is not going good. I know how epic this arc may be but enough. Shigeshige's death is ENOUGH. His death already brought so much and now... I never felt this emotional before. Crap... It's raining... It's not just the Demon Vice Chief who's crying. It's me as well :'(

I already cried at Takasugi's "Why did you choose us Gintoki?", DON'T MAKE ME CRY SO SOON WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Pretty much cried nonstop throughout this episode. From that depressing AF funeral at the beginning, (RIP Shigeshige!) to Gin’s painful walk to Shinsengumi HQ & his conversation with Kondo.
Then I was seriously trolled by Toshi’s dream & really thought Kondo was dead for a minute! Was yelling NONONONONO at the TV until I realized it was a dream, thank god.
Tears continued to the end, right along with that demon in the rain.
I may have to stop the marathon for a bit, to recover. Damn.

Phew, after rewatching the scene I realized that Toshi was having a nightmare and Kondo didn't actually die ...

This is depressing as hell though, Shinsengumi disbanded and Kondo + General orded to be beheaded.

Seeing Kondo and Gin drink to Shigeshige was so good, Kondo genuinely looked like he'd grown up, a true hard boiled man.

Beautiful and heartbreaking episode. The animation was amazing as well as the ost. The whole episode was so depressing starting from the Shogun's funeral, Gin and Kondo paying respect to him, when Sougo and Hijikata saw Kondo in the Mimawarigumi car, Gintoki's limping towards them and "Forgive me" to Hijikata crying. Even the title "The day the demon cried". Everything hit me just so hard; damn Gintama making me cry so many episodes in a row and more yet to come. I don't think my poor heart can take anymore, but I can't stop too.




I want to know what it is,

So Edo, Japan is pretty much potentially changing due to Tokugawa Nobunobu ascension. Yeah, it’s getting serious.
And so the Shinsengumi is disbanded, which is really sad.

Wow, the episode was epic and intense. They really changed the atmosphere and it was captured perfectly in the expressions, dialogue, and movements of the characters. I almost forgot Gintama used to be a comedy anime, it feels so different.

That moment when Hijikata and Sougo saw Kondo being taken away, Matsudaira being absolutely crazy, Gin with his dead eyes almost risking everything for Kondo, and his subsequent apology to Shinsengumi and Hijikata channeling some inner Roy Mustang....those scenes were fire.
