| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Looks like this is that character popularity arc that everybody was wanting last week. |
 |
| Stupid 1h delay... This ep seemed a little slow, and at times it looked like it had a low budget... But that is to be expected. Either way, the source material, and ending of this episode were great. |
| -SORACHI-SENSEI! NOOOOOOOOO! (When Otae was coming out of the TV, I thought "the source" was the manga readers but then I realized, no wait, the author) -Ugh. I never liked that ugly CGI of theirs that they use at the beginning but the comedy wasn't bad. Loved the acknowledgment that the movie was indeed happening. And why the hell is Takasugi still so high at 4th? I mean, he's not that badass. Hell, we only saw him fight like twice. -Noticed that they changed the OP when Gintoki on the battlefield moves his arm, you see Katsura, Takasugi and the other guy who we don't see too much charging with him. I think they were supposed to be there but they forgot or something. -Wow, they are really going all out on this. Not only did they leave the rankings through the episode but they kept it in the ED song. And Yamazaki is still 136th. Loved the girls reaction to Tsukuyo being 9th and it occurred to me that they haven't met her yet at all. -The show: "And now that the manga creators taken out, the Gintama anime is taking a break next week" Me: "WHAT!" Show: "It's not possible" Me: "You guys are ******* trolls" Anybody else notice the incredibly quick Gundam 00 reference? |

| A bit too slow paced for my liking. |
| great episode I love this arc already I don't know how the hell Takasugi is ranked 4th? I can't even remember the last time I saw him wasn't it like the Benizakura arc? Katsura should have 4th spot imo Poor Otae stuck between the gorilla twins lol I noticed in the ED their rankings went up one b/c of Otae |
   |
| This arc is going to be so random, popularity wars? That's a genius idea! |
    |
| Gintama never gets old with all these random episodes/arcs. <3 |
[  |
| this was one of the best episodes i've seen ^_^ LOVE GINTAMA!!!!!!!! |
| My bigger question is: Tatsuma is what, 12? He's been in like...2 episodes! Total! Granted, he is awesome, but really?! |
 Rule of Anime #18 - Law of Hemoglobin Capacity The human body contains over 12 gallons of blood, sometimes more, under high pressure. |
| Tsukuyo <3 Looks like a hilarious arc. Can't wait for next ep. |
 |
| My first impressions of this arc are that it is the best idea ever dreamt up in any anime or manga. Seriously, who but Sorachi would have thought of basing an arc on the character popularity polls. It's genius! Can't wait for the next episode! And finally Sa-chan got some screentime! And a decent amount at that! Woohoo! garfield15 said: And why the hell is Takasugi still so high at 4th? I mean, he's not that badass. Hell, we only saw him fight like twice. Thats what makes him so awesome. We haven't really seen him do anything, yet everyone fears him. Plus the expression on his face in the new opening just screams badass. You can't disregard his looks either, that guy is hardcore. He has barely any screentime, very few lines and we know very little about him, but the audience knows not to mess with Takasugi. He is also the only character in Gintama that never losses his cool whatever the situation. He never worries because he knows hes the best. Takasugi doesn't need fights to prove he is badass, he has reputation. |

| yay my 3 faves are on top!! ^.^ though hijikata should have been 2nd :P hahahahaha loved this ep so random XD now i get why they made the ending like that hahaha. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Loved the addition of Katsura, Takasugi and Sakamoto in the opening! |
 |
| Wooooo!!!! The character popularity poll arc is finally animated!!!! XD LOL at the ED, Sorachi has been taken out by Otae :D The way I see it, I think this is going to be 4 episodes like the manga had 4 chapters since they used 1 chapter of this... Well anyway, next episode will be more funny. Can't wait >.< |
| This is a signature. |
| And the long awaited arc is finally here! I was dying to see the Otae/Sa-chan/Kyuubei gossip scene animated. I loved Sa-chan losing her cool there xD The 3D segment at the beginning was awesome as well. |
| Awesome episode. |
| I was surprised when they finished the countdown in the beginning so quickly; didn't expect a whole arc dedicated to it. Me like it nonetheless. How come Yamazaki dropped to 136位 for being naked, while Gori-san is 15位 doing nearly nothing else but exposing himself lately... Tsukuyo 9th - great. |
| This arc is one of the funniest and most innovative arcs ever in Gintama. Can't wait for next week ^_^ |

KoolKidsKlub said: That's just prove that Jump is after all mostly read by little boys and little boys generally don't like girls...only 2 females in top 10 :( Tama and Sa chan so low :( |
Diceroll said: I agree.Awesome episode. It needs more Tsukuyo though. |
 |
TechDragon said: Diceroll said: I agree.Awesome episode. It needs more Tsukuyo though. yep shes like the new heroine as she's the only one to get groped (truly, npt u sa-chan) by #1 Sakata Gintoki |
 True or False Anime + Manga = Chuck Norris / Chuck Norris |
| The ranking thing is hilarious :) Shame Tsukki only got 10th and Kyubei only got 14th. Its true though, humans are creatures of merit. Look at this site, i mean its everywhere. Numbers, statistics, rankings, orders, popularity, voting, polls... Its kind of funny how much people love seeing numbers but hate math. Shinpachi being emo over 8th place... I was loling the whole time. I'd probably feel the same way too. Although I can kind of relate considering i was ranked 3rd as an Anime Reviewer and i dropped down to 6th. But that happens when you stop reviewing stuff for 2 years :) Actually im impressed i only dropped 3 spots over 2 years. Seeing everyone quarrel over their ranking was too epic for words. And the girls pissed that Tsukki is ranked higher than them was just awesome. Cant wait for next ep... |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Random episode is random, LOL'd at Sinpachi's dramatic play for being 8th. Sougo is 2nd, expected. <3 |
| THIS WAS AMAZING. God, Gintama is the most awesome anime... I don't want to get to the end >_< when is the new season starting?? *bawls* |
 |
| LMAO haha genius idea! NOooooo Tsukuyo in danger! D: And OMG Otae killed Sorachi-sensei!!! |
| Damn Kondo should of been in the top 10.. That dude is hilarious! |
Lillyness said: Gintama never gets old with all these random episodes/arcs. <3 This. One of the innovative episodes I've seen. Sorachi get pwned by Otae. lolololol |
| When Yamazaki started crying, I did too, but for completely different reasons, haha! |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| I'm sure Gintama is the only anime that make popularity poll into a story arc!!! Genious! My top female is Kagura, Tsukuyo and Kyuubei! Too bad Kyuu-chan below 10th~ Need more Tsukky and Kyuu-chan~ My top male is of course Gintoki, and Toushi, and Takasugi~ I love Takasugi from the moment he enter the show! XD |

| Ahhh, I'm wondering if I should watch more. My sides have started to hurt, and I think I may have laughed up my lung. |
| Why would Yamazaki losing his cloths cause his ranking to drop? I see nothing wrong with that, on the contrary O.O... Why is Takasugi so high anyway ? I don't even remember when I saw him last that wasn't in an opening... And I expected Kagura to rank higher :(. She's too awesome for that 6th place she was given Anyway, I loved this ep :P. It was such a nice laugh after the previous arc, these producers just know how to perfectly mix things up :). And now I'll watch the next one because I have to know who the culprit is |
     |
| Lol! <3 |
| META OVERLOAD!!!!!!! This arc has to be one of the funniest ever conceived! I love it already xD Funny how the author's gorilla version of himself is in the top 20, hopefully he'll survive Otae's beating xD Poor Yamazaki, that guy never catches a break xD |

mizrock said: need moar Sacchan Fuck no. She's easily the best female character in this show who isn't named Kagura. Anyway, this is probably one of the coolest ideas for a arc I've seen. I love how they had the numbers throughout the whole thing. I was laughing like an idiot during Shinpachi and Yamaguchi's "serious" scene at the beginning. |

| Taka-tin not in the top 10, this poll is clearly rigged. |
| WHY ISN'T KATSURA NUMBER TWO?! And Yamaguchi should also be higher than 9th |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

"Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?" |
| Wow, I never expected the popularity polls could inspire an arc! Gintama is so innovative!! The ending with Shinpachi being turned to doodles was really funny!! Looks like this would be an arc that I'll like! |
 |
| I can't believe it's been so long since we've seen Otea-san. She is still the best woman in Gintama. Not the romantic pick but still the best one. I like this arc because it gives up a chance to have the other characters have screen time. It's hard to do that in long drawn out shows but they pull it off in a very hilarious way as well. |
 |
| Hmm this could be an interesting arc... lets see what's next! |
 |
| This episode was beyond hilarious~!! but sad that Kagura was only 6th |
