So, will this run of the anime be the end of Gintama for real? Is the manga still going, or is it approaching an end that can line up with the anime before they need to take another break

supposedly he is wrapping it up, but he didn't put an end date on it. basically I think what that means is he has the rest of the story mapped out and he is just working toward that end goal. they're finally starting to tie everything together and give closure on some things so its getting closer.

The gag is that Gintoki and Kintoki's voice actors are inseparable BFFs irl who have also played opposing roles in other shows, so having Nakamura play Sugita's so-called perfect counterpart makes total sense as a casting decision.

that is :3: as gently caress

I thought when I finished the manga that I'd enjoy the plot of the show less, but thats absolutely not the case

Regardless, I'm loving what I've seen so far and curious how much better it'll get soon given that the OP indicates the show evens out and becomes more enjoyable overall after episode 30 given I'm already really enjoying what I'm seeing. The Death Note episode I watched last night, with the cast celebrating renewal around a hot pot and spending the opening 2 minutes doing voice overs to a still shot of the outside of their house before finishing with Kagura complaining that pork is probably nicer than beef after eating the whole dish was fantastic. I'm not even a fan of Death Note, but everyone competing to be the Nabe Shogun was great. As is Elizabeth just coming back as if she's always been just a pet despite being revealed to probably (or at least, initially) be an old man in an outfit only a few episodes prior. And the new (to me) ED of Elizabeth dancing in the rain.

One other question I suppose. Gintama is primarily a comedy show, but I got the feeling from mentions over the years it has some action/shoneny bits, with more serious arcs or fights that go on a few episodes and I'm just curious if their action is as good as the show's comedy and when the first such fight happens since I wouldn't mind seeing Gin and Kagura fight semi-seriously now that they've been established.

The reason it improves so much after 30 or so is because it takes that long to introduce a good chunk of the characters in the show tbh. If you liked what you saw in the first 30 episodes, you'll love the rest of the series. It is that same dynamic but taken up to another level. The sad moments are legitimately sad, the happy moments are happy, there are a ton of funny moments throughout the whole thing, some romance, a lot of cool fighting, etc. Its a drat good series.

And yes - there is definitely some shonen. There is also a some shonen parody in there too.

Well, I'll be watching it all in order for however long that takes so I'll get to both at some point. Thanks for the advice though you big D.O.R.K. Also, it pleases me looking through Crunchyroll listings for the latest episode and noticing the screen caps have pictures of several characters that seem pretty minor and would be easy to leave behind now but obviously haven't been, like Hasegawa. I do wonder how he'll have changed (or if he has) over 300 more episodes, but that's part of the fun. And makes me wonder if even more minor characters like Yamazaki and the weird alien who loves animals that really shouldn't be pets will still be around then.

hasegawa is life

but yes, pretty much any character they introduce and give a name and have around for more than an episode will show up from time to time down the road

apparently Sorachi told Jump when it would be ending, they made the arrangements, and then he realized he couldn't finish it by then

I haven't read the manga, but from where we're at in the anime this almost feels more like an epilogue already.

yeah it basically is, no spoilers, its just Sorachi wrapping up plot points so far
