----------------------------------------
Well, definitely an original idea.

The Elizabeth's thing at the start wasn't that great, however the was a couple of hilarious moments in it... Not worth the wait though...

Although it was a budget episode, it was still good IMO. The perceived dramatic irony was enough to keep it interesting, along with the occasional touches of brilliant humor. The last minute or so before the ending was also great.

Next episode will be awesome! Cant wait for Otaku Hijikata to re-appear! (How many manga chapters was this upcoming episode/arc?)

sweeet~ only Gintama can get you this confused I really thought that those complainers were the real characters I was like " so are they gonna develop a romantic relationship for those two?!"

Elizabeth's silent movie was the best though XD her last resort is talking XD

The Elizabeth part was kinda meh. I hope they don't do something like that at the beginning of every episode. The actual episode itself was great though. Especially Hijikata's parts - "Die!" Once the ending revealed the people weren't really Gintoki and Otae I chuckled to myself and said "I should have thought as much." They've done stuff like that so many times now but it never gets old.

The Elizabeth part was alright. I lol'd at poor Katsura being clubbed though.

My GinTae fandom is slightly revived. I was fooled at that part when I read the manga. And yes the Otsuu battle begins! This arc is gonna be super long.

I LOVED the episode, really. The Elizabeth part was okay, some funny parts in it.
What would you do if you don't recognise the voices? xD
The humour was excellent, especially the we-don't-know-eachother-parts.
And the Gintae part was just... awesome. Really. I read the manga before but if I didn't I sure was fooled. Buuut that means one thing. (although it was fake lol) They tought about the Gintae couple <3 There is still hope!

And the next arc is gonna be awesome. Toushi gets lots of screentime~

wow, sudden romance or so I thought until the last minute xD
but it was awesome! I can't remember even one anime series being entertaining showing a simple ojii-san for 15 minutes! just amazing! awesome seiyu job!
judging by comments the next ark will finally make me read manga... -_-"

The Elizabeth part is not bad though I laughed at some parts..

But the "whinery" talking is just original.. Liked it.

When I saw Gintoki and Otae holding hands, I was like. O_o

But when I saw those faces, I thought I just got trolled.. >.<

That was hilarious! I was wondering why we couldn't see their faces even near the end, haha.
The part with Gintoki and Otae holding hands irked me, thank god it wasn't really them.

You shouldn't take it so seriously, they most likely misspelled that on purpose. Generally when using a title from another show or company they play with the letters. Like One Park = One Piece.

Winery = Whinery - I get it :D

Great episode! Although I have to admit, I wasn't expecting the different characters at the end. It was pretty funny. Who knew that there were personified versions of our main characters. Another mayo freak, an amanto who's a gorilla...who happens to be the boss of the mayo freak. A (not so attractive) hostess and a white haired lazy samurai (with a really gross name...).

Either way, I enjoyed it.

Also, Elizabeth was hilarious.. Shinji Takamatsu came back... again! He freaks me out every time! Which one is it? Who is Elizabeth? WHO???

LOL, I think it was a good chapter! XD Laughed a lot!!!!

Elizabeth's part was good, specially the Engrish at the beginning and her ... (his?) last resort.

The Whinery was good, too~!!! Couldn't stop laughing through out it and the last few scenes of it just made it much better!!

And lol, talking to Kagura.

I loved this. I can't believe I actually enjoyed an episode with like, TWO scenes in it.

"Die! Just die!"
That was funnier than any other filler/low budget episodes. I'm still hung up on the fact it was ONE scene! >:O

I really like this episode! Even with the same backdrop (of the old man) for the whole 20 mins, I was equally entertained! This shows just how awesome Gintama is (at least to me)! XD The seiyuus are so awesome!

Who would have thought the characters are not the real characters? They certainly got me there! Although it'd be interesting if they really plan for some romantic developments between Gintoki and Otae!

I think that was intentional? So as not to infringe on Weekly Jump's copyright... Or they were just parodying the real Weekly Jump

Oh my gosh, i loved the Silent Film bit with Elizabeth! Just really funny and original! I'm just a big fan of Elizabeth in general though. Such a bizarre creation...

The animation style reminded me of South Park, but i dont know if that was just me. They even had mice come and eat Zura's dead corpse, like they used to do with Kenny xD

LOL "Weekry Shonen Jump" - Engrish always cracks me up!

Oh hey it's "My Neighbor" Pedoro!

Also, why are Elizabeth turned by hostess club and hot flower girl? I thought Elizabeth was a girl... Oh wait, there's a guy inside her - I give up. xD


---

The second part i didn't really like, just seemed like an obvious budget-episode. Just have one static shot with voiceover. That's bound to save them a lot of money... :/

Considering this is Gintama, that was probably very much intentional.

And, shit, got trolled pretty hard at the end. I was actually liking the idea...Fuck.
