Holy crap even if this season is much shorter than the others this is easily my favourite season - going from the kintama arc to the to the courtesan of a nation the stakes just get so much higher and each arc just out does the previous - the courtesan arc is quite easily the best arc of the show up to this point - it was genuinely some of the best stuff I have ever seen - it’s just so gripping and learning more about gintokis past was the cherry on top - there’s a clear upgrade in the animation and the quality of everything this season from the openings to the endings to how genuinely serious it can get - the introduction of oboro and the tenshuin naruko was absolutely incredible - just a fantastic time

The season itself doesn't last long; it's just three arcs with a good structure and incredible endings. The first one starts unexpectedly, touching very briefly on topics such as identity. The second one, in general, is even more incredible, giving us a glimpse into the old shogunate and Gintoki and Takasugi's past with Master Shouyou. The third one is the weakest for me, but that doesn't mean it isn't still good. Because it explores the relationship between Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Otae in a little more depth.
Despite everything, this season has moments of comedy that are a little out of place but are still great. Now more than anything, I'm excited for the next season and the "Shogun Assassination" and "Farewell Shinsengumi."

Title: Gintama: The Ultimate Anime That Redefines Shonen and Comedy
Score: 10/10
Review:
Gintama is a masterpiece that deserves its place at the pinnacle of anime. Created by Hideaki Sorachi, this series (and its multiple seasons, OVAs, and films) is a genre-defying rollercoaster that blends gut-busting comedy, heart-pounding action, and tear-jerking drama in a way no other anime can match. After watching all 367 episodes, Gintama: The Final movie, and revisiting arcs like Benizakura and Silver Soul, I can confidently say this is the most rewatchable, versatile, and emotionally resonant anime I’ve ever experienced.Story (9/10): Gintama’s premise—an alternate Edo Japan invaded by aliens, centered on the slacker samurai Gintoki Sakata and his odd-jobs crew—is deceptively simple. The series s…

This is, in my opinion, the best Gintama offered up until now. There are 3 arcs and a standalone episode.
The first arc is surprisingly deep, with a very fun premise and a meaningful advancement on the core themes of this anime.
The second arc sees some of the pieces that were established so early on finally start to take their place in preparation for the last stretch within a very well-developed narrative within the arc and a touching conclusion.
The third arc is plain fun. It manages light-hearted jokes, well choreographed fights and reaching for seemingly forgotten aspects of the overall story.
If you've been liking Gintama, you won't stop now. If you were in the fence, this should tip you in a direction. If you don't like Gintama … 260 episodes in, I think you should have already…

Well, let me begin by saying that Gintama': Enchousen is an anime that truly deserves its reputation as one of the funniest and most entertaining series out there. The story follows the misadventures of Gintoki Sakata, a samurai who now works as a freelancer in a world where aliens have taken over Japan.
The series manages to blend comedy, action, and drama in a way that is truly unique, and the Enchousen arc is no exception. It's filled with hilarious gags, epic fight scenes, and heartwarming moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
One of the things that sets apart from other anime is its unique style. The series is known for its clever parodies of other popular anime and manga, as well as its irreverent humor and fourth-wall-breaking antics. It's a series that doesn't take…

Gintama: Enchousen was amazing no doubt about it. Everything from the epic fights to the humour to the super sad parts about it, everything was amazing. It was truly jaw-dropping to see all the past arcs come together, the Yoshiwara arc, the promises from the first few episodes of Gintama, and the Shogun arcs as well. All amazing.
The Story: This is quite different from the other Gintamas. THERE IS AN ACTUAL STORY HERE. and it's amazing! It was comprehensible and flowed amazingly. 10/10
Animation: Beautiful. 10/10
Music: Ok music is good but compared to the musical animes nothing special. 7/10.
Why you should watch it: If you watched the other Gintamas, this is a no brainer. Its #11 for a reason.
Final score: 10/10
Thanks!

Gintama': Enchoussen. Called as such because it's not a third season, but an extension of the second season. And because of that, I have practically nothing to say. As a whole, it's marginally better than the season it extends from, if only because they managed to pull up three longer arcs in a row and finish on a rather moving final.
First arc was just entertaining. It didn't carry much meaning despite having the potential to do just that, but at least it was entertaining. Second arc was great, it did introduce new power players that were dealt with immediately, some others that will become a re-ocurring threat. Third arc was really good, it got my boy Shinpachi some blood on his hands and some meaningful character development. The final episode was just moving, and you get to see how fa…

WOW!
Although I have rated everything related to Gintama I have watched out of 10 (note, it may seem the opposite, but I don't give 10/10s very easily. Gintama is just that good), but I can safely say, up till this point, this was the best Gintama got.
First, we have the Kintama arc, which is (apparently?) a serious arc, and sometimes it does feel that way, although it has its moments which are just bloody hilarious. Just having a serious arc almost entirely about breaking the 4th wall is genius in my opinion. It's a fantastic arc.
But the next arc. PHEW. It is really something. Called the "Courtesan of a Nation arc", in my opinion, this arc sent Gintama into another stratosphere, and is very important to build up to future arcs. And it is MINDBLOWING.
The basic premise, that I will say…

I've never cried so much in 13 episodes. This short season is the most compact TV version of what makes Gintama so amazing: emphasis on relationships between the characters, stories of humans bound by their individual vows, gripping personal and political storylines, and a wide array of dirty jokes.
I will admit that the Baragaki arc at the end of the previous season undershot my expectations, so I was a little worried going into the meatiest arc of this season. The Courtesan of a Nation arc blew my expectations out of the water with its grit, action, and reveals. The arcs that came before and after were also great, focusing more on the bonds Odd Jobs have built between other characters.
I will admit that I missed the comedy focused episodes/arcs in between the heavy stories. I watched…

“Show that you can stop the women that you sneer at! Show that you can defend the castle built on the tears of those women! Since you’ve forgotten about them, we’ll have to remind you! These women have come to topple a country.”
- Tsukuyo, Episode 259 (Gintama’: Enchōsen 7)
These 13 episodes are some of the best of Gintama, covering three arcs and a one-episode story, that demonstrates the balance of comedy, drama, and action that the series is known for. All the positives from Gintama’ remain, with the improvements in animation continuing on. Separating these short arcs from the rest of Gintama’ works well; especially for the first arc of the series.
Gintama’: Enchōsen stands out from the prior Gintama series’ due to the absence of multiple comedy episodes between the arcs. This chang…

One of the big Enchousen things is that it covers the Kintama and Courtesan of a Nation arcs, which is a turning point on the series, become more plot-oriented and entering the whole political concept of the story, since it's based on the Edo period.
Although you won't laugh as much (which is one of the major strong points in the show), you'll crave for more as you watch this one, proving that Gintama is not just your everyday comedy series, but also one of the greatest shounen anime of all time.
The OST is also a great feature here, which makes battles even more exciting and totally worth the wait.

This season is so interesting because it's entirely filled with episodes that carry a serious tone. Gintama is always funny, but everything from the three arcs in this season to the only episodic-type episode carried emotional content. And I loved it.
So, yes, you aren't getting as much straight comedy in this season. If that is the only part of Gintama you like (I don't know why you would be crazy enough to only love the comedy, though), then this season veers away from that. There's only one major story arc, but all the episodes are heavy in one way or another.
The theme of this season, for the most part, seemed to be how important and precious Gintoki is as a main character, as a friend, and as an ally. This season did remarkably well to show character development for most every sect…

This is my first review on an anime. I'll try to write my best and try to keep it simple.
Well, Gintama':Enchousen, at first i thought was a non-canon or filler arc. But the more i watched the more i became surprised and astonished. Alright, my first impression on this season on this season of Gintama will be , "I never thought an anime would question itself why the main character in the show is needed, what good does he and is he good enough for the show?" These were some questions answered by this Gintama season beautifully. WHY Gintoki is needed, what good is Gintoki and is he good enough for the show? These were answered in the first few episode of the season and I truly loved and was so beautiful.
Moving on, we all know Gintama can execute beautiful emotions from the simplest of story…

This was the shortest of the Gintama Arcs but it actually packs a lot in for 13 episodes. There are 3 main Arcs and few one-shot episodes.
Of the Arcs, the first is alright, the second was outstanding and the third decent. There's backstory and a lot of action. The downside is that the humour takes a bit of a backseat but it still made me chuckle and at least at one point cry which is pretty good for such a short arc. It also really benefits from having more budget than the original season.
Overall this is a really good addition to the Gintama series, and sets up the next Season nicely.

Already wrote a review on one of the Gintama long series but I am to finish for all of the 6 Gintama on MAL just cause i'm bias AF.
Story (10/10)
Those who are looking for story, seriousness in Gintama is similar to looking for gold in your anus. You are rating an orange while tasting an apple. I rate it 10 just because for me filler = story, and filler is well over 10 in my book.
Art (10/10)
They say the way you enjoy an artistic piece is totally dependent on the eye of the beholder, and to me, Gintama art is top-notch.
Sound (10/10)
The way Gintama sound flows as well as light reflecting to my eyes.
Character (10/10)
Brightest shining point in Gintama, memorizing unforgettable characters.
Enjoyment (10/10)
I hereby declare Gintama to be the best comedy show there ever was.

(This review applies to the entire Gintama series.)
What is Gintama about? Well, according to Gin-san: "We don't even know". But for me, Gintama is a great filler with some anime bows tucked in the middle of genius shapes.
Gintama tells a story about Japan at a time when it was dominated by alien forces, the plot focuses on our four protagonists: Gintoki, Shinpachi, Kagura and Sadaharu. Now speaking of the anime, Gintama is very good indeed, all the characters have a different charisma, from their personalities to their beliefs, like our revolutionary Zura, oh my mistake, "Zura janai, Katsura da.", Dear Hasegawa-san (Madao), the whole shinsegumi from Kondo-san (gorilla), Hijikata-san (mayonnaise) Okita-kun (sadist), among others. Seriously, there are soooo many characters, which turns out…

There are some differences between seasons of Gintama one of most important is that Gintama is getting more serious first season is more like a comedy one second and third and bit serious and like this till the end. There are lot of people who don't really like this and i will say its personal, I like where it’s going because it has potential this way too and i like that they are using it and I must also say that comedy part isn't lost its just got less. Third season consists of 12 episodes so it’s more serious than comedic, it consists of two stories which focus on real life problems. First story can be interpreted in a lot of ways some people will say that it means that people can't be changed and you are unique, but i think it means that old is better than new. The reason i think so bec…

This might be the shortest season of Gintama but I love everything about it, from the Kintama Arc which solidified my love for both the characters and for their bond; to the courtesan of nation arc which is pumping me up for the future serious arcs and let me tell you that that arc has one of the best music, fight scene and storyline in the series; to the Beam Sword Style Arc which made me wonder if I should take it seriously or not because the whole thing is both good and farcical and of course there's Sadaharu, our gigantic and adorable dog.
Overall, it is an excellent season. Gintama lives up to the viewers expectations.

Gintama':Enchousen was extremely great, I expected nothing less.
Story:10
First off we get the episode with Kintoki as they promised from the last episode of Gintama', it was mostly for the lols but it also focused on Gintoki's bond with his companions and friends, it showed how close they actually are to each other, especially to Kagura, Shinpachi, Otae, Tama and Sadaharu. The second arc of Gintama':Enchousen revealed a little more of Gin-san's past to us and gave Shigeshige shogun an important role to play in, and it shows that Kagura is still friends with the Shogun's sister, the princess that ran out of the castle in the early episodes. The third arc focused on the Shimura siblings' past&the dojo, they also show us how Shinpachi has grown stonger and that he's not just some character…

Despite Gintama': Enchousen being shorter than its previous seasons, it still brings the action and comedy part of the show, never leaving, but always staying one step ahead. By doing this, the emotional impact the show brings into the series in some of the small and major arcs is shown in great detail, this leaves the viewers speechless at how perfectly it's put together.
Comedy isn't that strong in series as of late, even in most of the series airing the comedy was either pretty bad or they started out great, but than ended up as failures from becoming great. Knowing when to be funny in a show is essential to making a series great. If you just half-ass your way it won't become funny anymore, instead it will just be a generic show trying too hard. From the Fall and Winter seasons numerou…
