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

the cool ramen shop girl who Katsura has a crush on has another arc in the manga but now that will never be animated :(

it's a shame there's some good stuff in the manga that probably can't make it in the anime because of where they left off.

I hope that somehow Shoyo turning out to be some kind of immortal guy doesn't cheapen the fact that Gintoki killed him.

I don't know how else to say this, or if I even believe it yet even though I'm watching it, but the motherfuckin' Gintama dub from canada we all forgot about is finally here, and it's on Crunchyroll

Is it the one Sentai Filmworks did or the one that supposedly Crunchy is doing?

from what I hear, Ocean is doing it, but it has crunchyroll's backing so i guess its that.

I'm watching it, and it's OK (?) it's just weird hearing Gintama dubbed at all I can't really judge it properly

They should have localized it to take place in LA

I liked how the OP had the fat guy in it instead for the flashback moments in it.

Also I've been watching a lot of the dub on Crunchyroll. Once you get past the fact that it's a dub of Gintama, and the voices aren't going to be the same level as the original, it's actually pretty good to watch. It's very interesting to listen to the show without having to read subtitles and still get the jokes. The jokes that aren't totally Japanese translate fine and when you get used to the new voices it's like watching it again for the first time.

The voice for Gintoki is far from perfect, but it gets better the more I hear it. Shinpachi's voice is pretty good, but it doesn't really quite get to the same level of absurd reactions that the original one does, which hopefully will change over time if they get more comfortable with it. Kagura's I'm still not sure I like, but she's a really hard character to dub, and what they're going for with it works out well enough. I'm not gonna rate everyone (but i could) but special mentions to Hijikata's VA for having pretty much two completely different voices for the character, which is hilarious, and Sakamoto's for totally nailing his laugh. The guy sounds exactly like him, but in english. I haven't heard much of Kondo's yet but I'm watching the cockroach episode and his delivery is not very good so I don't have high hopes.

Gintama is coming back in October for the fall season. Also, apparently they are going to adapt the manga chapters before the shogun assassination arc that they skipped.

This may have been one of the most plot-important episode of Gintama yet and it was about Penis sizes.

I don't think I've ever laughed as hard at an episode of any anime before as I did this episode. It really feels like these are the most satisfying punchlines to cap off these characters for the end. God I love Gintama

I could tell from the voice Mobcop was going to be Yamazaki, but drat did the whole sequence give me a good laugh.

This is the best timeskip arc.

Im gonna be honest, I also forgot about him. So much happened in that episode my brain couldn't even take the time to register the fact he "died"

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

So, a year or two and we'll get the anime to finish out whatever the manga covered in that time then?
