And in other news, someone's apparently translated bits of the 2013 live event. Sorachi's bit where he makes fun of all the male VAs and talks about how much he loves Maaya Sakamoto is my favorite.

Remember when she first showed up and you didn't recognize it was her.

Funnily enough, this arc's first chapter was also when they announced the anime's return in Jump.

What's the deal with the movies. The op says there's 4, so my question is when is the best time to watch them if i'm watching all the episodes in order?

InfinityComplex

Nothing better than swinging around a little girl like a flail.
Huh, there are only 2 movies though.


The Benizakura movie can outright replace the Benizakura arc since it's just a merger of all the episodes and the Yorozuya Forever movie can be watched after the first Yoshiwara arc. That more or less gets you up to speed with all the characters in the Yorozuya Forever movie

Edit: If you want a better place to start watching the Yorozuya Forever movie, it would have to be after the second Yoshiwara arc.

I can argue for watching them for watching now in production order (one after each series, so episodes 201 and 265). They love talking up the movies in the TV series, so there's some joke continuity between them. It's by all means not necessary though. InfinityComplex is referring to the earliest you can watch them while knowing who all the characters are.

So I just marathoned the newest season.. I love how this show can go from "every main character literally turns into poop" to grimdark bloodbath in the blink of an eye. :monocle:

Exactly. I've been holding off on catching up. I was rewatching everything from the beginning before watching the 2015 season. I finally gave in and just finished the Shogun Assassination arc.

I will miss Sho-chan. Tears are flowing right now. It will be bittersweet watching Sho-chan's episodes in my rewatch. I need a break from all these sadnness. I miss my wacky Gintama. Great arc though. Love the action, all the fights. Blood everywhere!

My favorite character is Gintoki because of his personality, great VA and his character design. And I agree with another poster here that my favorite relationship is between Gintoki and Kagura.

I really don't want to wait week on week for the next episode so I am trying not to begin watching the next arc. But I am weak.

Is this the longest running arc for the show? I know the arc has kinda morphed, but it sill feels to revolve around the Shogun.

It's two different arcs, that's why this one has a different name. They're just consecutive serious arcs, which happens to be unprecedented.

It's a bit mean that they're stopping on that cliffhanger, but what else can you do. They would've caught up with the manga in no time if they keep adapting five chapters per episode.
