This episode was pretty good.
Hijikata, Okita and Katsura are interesting characters. Kondo is a stereotype dumb guy for now at least.

Some pretty funny moments in this ep. I liked the scene where they all clung on to each other out of fear of getting caught lol.

That was funny with the bomb lol.

Gin is hot and so is Toshiro, I can't believe Toshiro's friend keeps trying to kill him lol.

The end with Gin sensei bit I think was the same one as the end of the jump festa one but still funny.

He's licking it so fast, funny reference to the 4kids dub of One Piece lol.

Best part was the bomb tossing.

This episode was actually my favorite so far. We got to hear a little more bout the amanto and also a bit of Gintoki's past. We also got introduced to one of his apparent rivals Zura, yes i said Zura.

The bit bout the soap opera and the pop sickle at the end was pretty funny.

Meh.

So glad that Kagura is eating in the bulk of the episode. The sound of someone eating is slightly less tolerable than the sound of your newborn child choking to death on it’s vomit. This anime just can’t stop getting worse.

Another painfully unfunny episode. The Zura gag is already physically draining and it’s only been in 3 episodes so far. Probably should change the counter at the bottom to “Series Smirks” because it hasn’t even gotten me there yet.

This anime is so bad.

Series Laughs: 0. Can’t wait until I get 57 episodes into this when this show finally becomes palatable. This truly is 5 of the 10 greatest anime ever.

its kind of amazing how horrible the zura joke originally is compared to what it eventually becomes, its a way more dynamic joke than it deserves to be but it just doesnt start to gain life until like past the 50 ep mark much like most of this show's comedy

Idk if my expectations were super low since I was expecting to drop Gintama after this episode, or if this episode legitimately *was* better than the previous ones. Because it wasn't bad. I laughed a bit. And Cobra's backstory was the most well done so far.

Gintama lived to fight another day with me.

Loved the jokes, especially the epilogue in class xD

I also LOVE the comedy/serious toneshifts. They are so abrupt but hit like hell! That flashback from Gintoki and Zura (no, it’s Katsura! xD) was really touching. Love the way Gintoki can say beautiful things if needed.

Also added Gintoki to my favorites, I love this guy already freaking much as a character.

I tried watching this show several months ago. I started from episode 1. I didn't realize the first 2 episodes were filler, and it really pissed me off because they were crap.

I dropped Gintama after episode 6, but I left a comment on here (above) that episode 5 was pretty good.

I just decided to give this show another chance, and I couldn't remember which episode I last saw. Instead of checking my list, I just started at 5. It was pure luck. I thought it was hilarious again, and sent a buddy a link to it that's never watched Gintama before. He loved this episode, too.

Hopefully I'll just be in a different mindset this time, and I'll actually enjoy Gintama. Guess we'll find out.

I gotta say, that I found this episode to be really funny as well, especially the scene with the bomb in the first half of the episode and then Katsura talking about Gintoki's hair as well, but ngl, I really like Gintoki's hair, and I'm starting to really like Gintoki as a character as well; definitely excited to see what's next!

Now that we got the main three characters introduced, we will get to see the secondary and minor characters.

This chapter was particularly interesting since it developed Gintoki's character quite well, giving us a glint of his past and showing his ideals, which I actually agree with, that was a good debate between him and his friend.

Katsura wants to find in a rebellion to free the people of the Amanto, which is quite heroic in itself, he wants to free his people from the tyranny they are dealing with the other races, saying they should stick to the old ideals of Japan, while Gintoki says that they should accept the Amanto are already there, and live their own life at the fullest.

I do accept his ideals, what is the point of fighting of keeping their home away of new people that arrived there? Just because their ancestors lived without aliens? Sure, some Amanto are bad, but there will always be bad people in any race, even humans, so fighting against aliens is pointless, even Kaguya is an alien herself and she is a good girl, in her own way.

Just as Gintoki said "Why for fight for ideals when they have been laid out for me?" Why fight for what old people believed in if I believe in something else?

This chapter is particularly great, just for that dialogue alone.

"Half dead is still dead"

"Call an ambulance" "AMBULAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE!"

Yamazaki being mistaken for a stalker that should be apprehended by police is... lol

Even at death risk young Gintoki still called Katsura how he didn't want to, and back in present day i laughed at how much they insulted each other for hairstyles included

Okita wasn't believable when he told Hijikata to move out from his target, and in fact...

Poor Hiji, the fact that he didn't record in advance that soap opera became meaningless, because of the exact events he took part of in first person a little before. And for once it was nice to see Okita being sad with him


3Z class with Ginpachi sensei is great and deserved to appear way more often, but it's still good to return to the early episodes with a way better knowledge of the plot and characters and see this show was already this good to begin with
