The finishing of Gintama. Many episodes and many different story arcs ended with this.
To be fair the actual ending is with Silver Soul Arc. I did not find much point to this movie. Silver Soul should have been the end.
But I am glad this exists. As someone who watched Gintama for the comedy, silver soul barely had any comedy. This one had a lot of nice comedy.
The Final is about what happens after the silver soul arc. There is some more battle with Gintamas original teacher, Shoyo, who got resurrected and had to undergo a lot of transitions and inner monologue by himself.
Gintama and the other pupils of the Shoyo class fought against him.
There was some amazing comedy, with people trying to decide the ending to Gintama.
The semi-final led up to this but was not necessary to watch.…

Gintama The Final
This review comes from the fingers of a Gintama fanboy. The content is 100% serious, biologically grown, and may be passed on to your neighbors at dinner.
Gintama is a show that really can't win everyone over. It is known for its blunt, dirty, and bizarre humor and its perfectly twisted characters. If you have no prejudices against such a show and want to give this humor a chance, you will get your money's worth here. I can hardly put into words how often we had a laughter attack while watching this show, this memory will stay with me forever.
My biggest concern has always been Gintama's well-known "Serious Arcs", I found them to be a pleasant diversion, but nothing worth mentioning. Their pacing was slow, the story behind them only small, there was a lot of talk no j…

I usually don't write reviews for movies but after seeing this movie a wave of emotions came after me and I realized that if i don't spend 50-60 hours writing and editing a multi-paragraph review on this movie my life will never be the same. This is the greatest movie of all time, a cultural revolution, a bringer of renaissance in the shounen genre, and an intellectual masterpiece of the modern era. As a Gintama fan, let me explain why.
PLOT:
Deep plot. Gintoki and his friends team to defeat the big bad villain and save the world on an epic, grand scale. After a few seconds of swords clashing and clanging, the plot ends, roll credits. If you haven’t seen Naruto Shippuden before, this was a very creative and original direction the movie took. Many plot twists, plot reveals, and plot dev…

Gintama The Final finished. Oh boy what a disappointing ending. Here are my final thoughts and review. Again it's my thoughts. I will be going over both this movie and the series. This is my first review so here we go.
Characters
It's no doubt that Gintama has one of the best cast if not the best. And with females, they put them to good use. I don't think I need to go long on this because characters are something I would say Gintama does the best with. You love them and appreciate them as you go on with your watch and in the final movie, they were as good as usual. Would say the cast is peak. But the final villain being trash stops it from reaching a 10.
Rating:9
Story
This is where the issues start. Think of one of those cartoon movies of a bad guy taking over the world for whatever bs…

I wasn’t planning to watch this movie, since I only bothered with a dozen episodes, a few clips, and didn’t like any of them. But then a friend of mine who is a huge fan and has been following Gintama religiously insisted on watching it together. I was going for Fast & Furious 9, but he said ‘that is a stupid movie of a franchise that overstayed its welcome’. Unlike this smart movie which is not part of a franchise that overstayed its welcome. I mean, if it’s the second best anime of all times according to MAL (at the time of posting this) and the Gintama entries take up half of the top 20 in general it can only mean it’s a masterpiece according to the majority. And the majority is never wrong. So I watched the movie and I hated it and I wasn’t planning to make an overview about it, but th…

I have been a true fan of Gintama, but this movie I would say was a big disappointment.
To be very honest, this movie wasn't needed.
The anime had ended quite well with the story. of course, the story did not end with the anime, but another episode or two would have ended the show well enough.
I got goosebumps in the beginning while the childhood scene of gintoki was being played, but that's it. The movie does not live up to the expectations, well but I did not expect anything from the movie in the first place..
All the residents of kabukichi coming back to join hands, now this had become pretty repetative.
I am a big gintama fan and it will always be my favorite anime, but this was just a filler episode. nothing else.

THIS CONTAINS THE REVIEW OF THE WHOLE GINTAMA SERIES AND IT'S SPOILER FREE!
This is the first time I'm writing a review, because as a masterpiece that changed my life, I felt the obligation to.
This will be a really atypical and personal review.
I'm going to start this review by saying that this series is really not for everyone, it targets a very unique group of people. (Of course it has extremely good comedy and killer fight scenes that everyone can enjoy at a surface level and still get a 8/10 great fun). That specific audience that Gintama targets are people between 20-30 years who are in a certain state of mind. I will explain why that is and even quote the man himself Sorachi-sensei to better explain this. When I first discovered Gintama, I was in a pretty dark place mentally, I w…

I don't know anything else to say. When I originally started watching Gintama, I was so into trying to take it seriously because that's what I do with shonen. Blindly going into it knowing it'll be funny yet feeling underwhelmed I felt was expected. I took a break and one day I was bored and decided to just sit down with an open mind and binge it. Feeling free of burden, I enjoyed everything. Every episode got better and I always smiled every single time I clicked on an episode. I laughed, I cried, I loved the entire cast. I felt sad when I finished it and realized they had a movie coming to finish the series. Now that I was finally able to watch this Movie, I don't know what to say. It's over I guess. I loved every minute of it. It never failed to get me interested into the world or chara…

So I finally got to see my favourite show's end.Man it was beautiful,I don't think that there could be a better ending than this one for my beloved Gintama.
The movie was absolutely stunning in each and every aspect, plotwise it was great ,with numerous comedic ,action and emotional scenes .
The artstyle and animation were honestly gorgeous.
One should also not forget the divine themes and songs made by SPYAIR and DOES ,their work not only in Gintama,but also in general is amazing,so check them out in case you already have not.
Damn,I cannot express how much I enjoyed that movie and Gintama in general, it's probably one of the few series that affected the way I am as a person.
It was a wild ride and honestly the most beautiful I had so far.
Thank you for these 6 years of Gintama beauty…

This is my first review so please bare with me. I felt obligated to write for the conclusion to my favourite anime, especially considering my feelings toward this movie adaptation.
I'll start off by saying that I'm not very impressed. I read the conclusion to the manga as it was being released so I already knew what to expect from this movie plot-wise, and as a result, I was able to focus a bit more on the anime exclusive parts of the movie, such as the art and sound design.
Story:
The story is loyal to the manga, which is a huge relief. I was worried that this arc wouldn't fit into the length of a movie and that they'd have to remove or change important content in order to keep it reasonable, but I suppose that's probably why there were two semi-final episodes. In spite of this, I stil…

It was the most satisfying ending to my beloved series Gintama. It's heartbreaking to think I won't be seeing any newer adventures of the Yorozua, Shinsengumi, and really every other character. I laughed with them, I cried with them, they were nothing short of a family to me.
This final act was, quite truly, the essence of Gintama, with hilarious, baffling, stupid, emotional, action-filled, and heartbreaking moments alike.
The animation was nice, but I felt it to be a bit lacking at times, especially noticeable in the fights towards the beginning.
The music was great as ever, and with both DOES and SPYAIR returning one last time, you couldn't ask for more.
This isn't goodbye, as I'll cherish the memories I made with this show, this story forever... and even though an eternity wouldn't…

This is not Gintama. I mean, it has the same story arc and the same characters, but overall it felt like another parody sketch, overextended by mistake. The animation style is probably the main culprit. Then the action, pacing, story, soundtrack. When it was over, I was left with a feeling of "Wait, is that it? Where's the real final?".
Animation style aside, it felt like this was just a hastily put single story arc finale, made by a different studio, rather than a proper Gintama finale. I mean, every time I saw these generic "anime eyes", I was like w t f. All the presentation aspects of it are different from how it usually was in Gintama. And those aspects, for me, were one of the defining parts of what was Gintama as a show.
So overall, 2 silver balls out of 11.

When it comes to gintama sorachi never fails to surprise me and this movie was no exception this movie truly fleshes out gintama at its finest. in total I had no problems at all with gintama the final for me it was a masterpiece. art style and animation 10/10 you could tell the people who were making gintama the final put a lot of effort into it and I am forever grateful they did. sound 10/10 what else can I say but SPYAIR x DOES for this final movie was a perfect fit for this every time I heard the music start playing i would either start getting hyped or just start crying. character 10/10 gintama has my fav cast of characters of all time there so fun to watch and boost my enjoyment a lot. enjoyment 10/10 like I said before the cast made it more enjoyable for me, I enjoyed every second of…

「 This review would be for the entire series of Gintama 」
Before I start this review, first of all, I want to say thank you to the mastermind of this anime. Sorachi, no, Gorilla-sensei, from the bottom of my heart, just, Thank you so much.
Gintama, what is Gintama?
Gintama is not bad, its not good, its not great, its not a masterpiece, its nothing else except Gintama. I would not dare to use masterpiece for this anime because that means I would just be categorizing it with the other shows, when clearly it shouldn’t.
If other shows have made me laugh, and enjoy. Gintama gave me a sort of happiness that I just couldn’t find in other anime.
The plot isn’t “become a pirate king” or “defeat the demon king” “become the number 1 hero” isn’t like that at all. Instead of using the summaries…

Gintama never fail to surprise the fans, it will always have a special place in our hearts.
In the introduction, The movie was successful in presenting the heart and soul of the Gintama concepts. I think it was a great start for the movie, and it is my most favorite part.
The movie presented everything you could expect of Gintama, all the cool fights, funny acts, crazy parts, sad stories, happy moments... etc. Mostly, our favorite Sakata Gentoki was a start like always, and other favorite characters.
However, the movie failed at some point in the graphics, and it's not that much of a great issue. In total, Gintama: The Final, was a good movie.

Gintama finally making it's final chapter after so many fakes in theatres. This movie really was the ending the entire series deserved. It covers the final manga chapters and the story outlives the ending of the Silver Soul Arc. The story ended as it should be, the whole series had the over all goal for the characters to live their daily lives having fun jokes and gags as going on adventures together, as their pasts come to haunt them sometimes even literally. In one finale all the lovable characters come back once again to take down the one last obstacle from them living their lives. Seeing the final scene will get any long term fan of the series extremely emotional. The animation too was extremely promising and the best from the entire series, it really shows what animation in the year 2…

This movie has everything that makes a classic Gintama: parody, toilet humor, drama, sword action, tears and blood, top notch DOES song, self deprecating humor and jokes that piss off Japan’s PTA.
It managed to utilize such a large ensemble of characters incredibly well, although some had only time for a cameo. We laughed and we cried and we laughed again... (I’ve only ever heard the audience laugh this loud in the previous Gintama movie!)
The animation was beautiful, although you could tell where they saved on the budget as it wasn’t always so even, but it has a very unique touch to it when the budget is on.
This movie has heart, and more importantly it has SOUL.
And IF they don’t troll us again and it’s really the final Gintama, it’s an awe and some way to leave.

Its finally over. The story that I learned so many things from, the story which had a deep impression in my soul, my very silver soul.
It was the best farewell imaginable.
The art was top notch as it was shown in the trailers.
The story was heartbreaking yet heartwarming at the same time. I don't think there will be another anime which engages me more than Gintama for the rest of my life.
The characters of Gintama always seemed real to me more than any other anime. I laughed with them, I cried with them. like Gintoki, my soul has been colored by every one of them. They left a very deep impression on me and I truly hold them dear not only in my heart but from the bottom of my soul.
The sound and themes were awesome specially Wadachi as it somehow resonates with the whole story.

Story 9
It was a great blend of drama and comedy as always. I would say that the parody scenes of a particular anime at the beginning was fucking epic and hilarious. Those madlads in the studio pulled it off. Anyways, it was a great conclusion to the anime. I am really happy I was able to see it in the theaters. For the manga readers who know the conclusion of the story, there are bonus scenes that don’t exist in the manga. You should check them out.
Art 8
The art quality was great and it might have been the best it ever was throughout the series. There are news that the manga author Sorachi himself drew some of the key animations. Sadly I wasn’t able to tell which ones they were. But I have to say the animation was fluid and beautiful for every scene.
Sound 8
The soundtrack was great. I…
