That was a good arc. That smile at the end had me near to tears, I got an attack of goosbumps too.

Love the feels that Gintama can bring to characters that we have only known for a few episodes.

Awww, old Kyubei and Kagura LOL!!!! that was so funny!!! pulling her around and asking for meals lol.

Wow, old man Gin and Katsura can go faster than Shinpachi lol.

Wow, they managed to sort of make it in time, well after but they got young after the new one leaked and made everyone else young in the end anyway so they won lol.

It was nice how they saved the woman in the end, I still can't believe the guy spoke through the computer! so crazy! awww. She just wanted to stay young for him, that's sweet tbh.

So is the guy near the end the same guy she waited thousand years for? I thought he drowned in the sea. The ending was pretty sweet.

Maybe not the best arc, but even an average Gintama arc is still good and the conclusion was really heartwarming.

Kagura and Kyuubei as grannies,tho..where's my breakfast ? XD

This was not a bad arc, just the weakest Gintama arc yet and I'm hoping nothing goes below it.

I loved the part about the guys thinking they're alone back in the first episode, as well as all the db references.

The best part was definitely the guys turning old, I loved that so much!

And the ending was quite nice I guess.

Wasn't one of my favorite Gintama arcs, but it was a pretty nice one I guess. I wonder whether Kondou was crying at the end because Otae was missing?

That was a sweet ending to a decent arc. 6/10 arc for me personally. The last 2 episodes saved the arc in my opinion.

Little weaker arc.
Wish could've used the young Otohime plotline better.

Still, grandma Kagura is a treasure.

Kagura and Kyuu-chan’s bit had me rolling lmao

I love how Gintama can be on such a high note one second and then naturally go to a very serious, sentimental tone. The ending was good, though I would’ve loved a little more explanation on how Otohime opened her shop and if the man who came in was indeed Urashima

Nice arc ending, including the sudden final scene with Shinsengumi members. Now i believe that Sakura Minamoto was inspired by this episode while rapping inspirational messages to the senior citizens audience in the second episode of Zombieland Saga.

Good ending to a good arc! 7/10 for me!
One of the weakest arc of gintama. Kagura suddenly punching Madao for no reason was the best thing.
Not much to say, except that Gintoki & Katsura were most hilarious in this arc.

A decent arc with a great conclusion.

Unfortunately, the arc wasn't the best. I did not like the premise from the start, but since Gintama is excellent, they still made it watchable. In fact, the final episodes were rather decently done seeing how I almost shed a tear. What I find most beautiful in this arc, is the Samurais' purity (namely Gintoki and Katsura). We see how their bodies have grown old with time, yet their soul does not allow them to stand back in silence. They continue to walk on a straight path, as they have done all their lives. As Takasugi mentioned during the Benizakura arc, all things which serve only one purpose are inherently beautiful. I think that true beauty shown for living beings in the form of a Samurai's bushido is extremely touching. 

Another excellent development in this arc was Shinpachi's response to the crisis. After a long time, and to my delight, we see the side characters including Otae-san playing an important role in defeating the 'enemy'. It did not feel like Gin was the MVP for this arc.  It was a joint effort which suits the show. 

Otherwise, the idea of "soul determining your true beauty" is old and nothing new. But the ending showing Urashima finding Otohime beautiful remains emotional because everyone desires a deep love.

I really enjoyed this arc. It was really fun and the ending was nice. It was also funny to see the rest of the cast become old. Kagura and Kyubei were hilarious.

I love how Kagura just randomly punches Hasegawa when they are trying to lift that beam lol.
