I want to catch up with the manga, and while I don't mind reading it all, I kind of want to jump to new material. I know the anime didn't get every chapter leading up to the shogun assassination arc, so what chapter would I want to start on for that?

It's disgusting that Hasegawa is 30th. Behind Okita's sister? What the gently caress. She's been dead since she was introduced basically. poo poo.

I haven't read any of the manga past where the anime is so idk if she gets more flashback screen time or what, but still.

I wonder if they're just going to jump right back on the plot or if they are going to spend time on the arcs they didn't adapt.

...probably the former, and I'm just going to have to live with the fact that the Kagura's Boyfriend arc was never animated. :negative:

And turns out Eli is actually the long thought dead brother of the Prince Idiot, who had memory loss until then, and now has a dick the size of a dragon :psypop:

I feel like they are starting to tie up loose ends. No clue on exactly how close, but it feels like they are taking steps toward it at least

A series like Gintama could be continued almost indefinitely. Having said that, I'd bet on it ending in 2017. There simply aren't that many hanging plot threads left at this point, and I suspect the author will choose to close it out. He's also made fun of neverending series in the past.

I'll miss it, but he's kept up an astonishingly high level of quality for an awful long time. Better to quit before you falter, you know?

It looks like they're doing benizakura, so I hope the final fight is appropriately lovely CG and they mock it relentlessly

Gintama is one of the few series where lampshading their crappy CGI would be appropriate, instead of a transparent dodge.

Is anyone else kind of sick of the Benizakura arc?

Maybe it's just because I watched the first movie a few months ago, but it's not very good. I was way more impressed with it the first time around, though maybe that's because it was the first serious arc of the show and I had nothing to compare it to.

It just falls kinda flat. I guess it's because the strength of Gintama's serious arcs are its character moments, not its fights and the arc doesn't really have those.

Lipstick Apathy
I completely get why they chose it for the live action though. Its got comedy, action, it can be contained in the length of a movie pretty easily, the arc is straightforward, and people who havent watched Gintama can possibly enjoy it and follow it. Lots of arcs are better, but they may require knowing more about the characters
