This episode made me raise the score to a 9/10 and I know it gets better, a LOT better cause I've seen a few random episodes from later on that were hilarious. The father and daughter scene at the end made me tear up.

Didn't think Shinpachi could have such personality.
It was emotional, I guess. Not bad.

Shinpachi went cray cray LOL! I didn't expect that lol.

I guessed that guy was probably the idol girls father, she sings some bizarre songs though. Gin was sweet to help him!

Meh.

Oh thank god, Kagura is eating again. Just ram an icepick into my temple. Just end this existence.

Another meh episode. Though this one was less offensive. Still haven’t smirked. Drama itself wasn’t good enough to make me care about these characters I’ve seen for only 20 minutes.

Series Laughs: 0. Can’t wait until I get 57 episodes into this when this show finally becomes palatable. This truly is 5 of the 10 greatest anime ever.

Gin's great. He's such a nice dude.

Probably the best episode of the ones I've seen. Not sure if I'm sold on the show yet.

I loved the Dad scene and all, but I really didn't find the singing funny at all. Your Dad is a bleep bleep? Some shit comedy but apart from that it was a good episode... 3/5.

everything about culture of idols always makes me feel funny on the inside. especially the fans *shudders*

idk how i feel about Shinpachi being an idol fan, they could have left that out...

Great episode. The only thing that made me like it a little less was this annoying song from Tsu (chome chome) :v

That was unexpected of Shinpachi, him going out of character to get out of custody O_O
Strong episode, kinda figured it'd be his daughter.

Last scene with the "roses" was touching ^^

Couldn't he have asked the police to drive him over to the performance or at least send her roses instead of this?
Also, she is not that good of a singer.

Sigh. That was so mediocre. Twenty minutes of boredom and about 10 seconds of a nice father-daughter moment. I don't think I laughed once.

Bleh. I just can't do this. I actually like Gintoki and Kagura's characters/personalities, but if most of the episodes are boring and most of the jokes are bad, what good does that do?

5/10. Dropped.

Alright, I gotta say that it was pretty funny hearing Gintoki saying that it was out of character seeing Shinpachi get very angry at the cop, what's even more unexpected was the fact that he had a Fanclub as well haha.

I also thought that this episode was pretty emotional and it was also really nice seeing Gintoki helping Otsu's father as well; definitely excited to see what's next!

Was that a filler episode or will the next episodes be like this one, just a one-episode story with irrelevant characters?

yes, it will be like that for 40-50 eps. Not many actions and just characters' introductions, fyi Gintama are mainly episodic. Here is Gintama filler list though is it not really accurate

Hmm I see, I hoped that it would have a bit more story-relevant episodes. People said it will get much better after 25 episodes or so, so I'll keep watching for now. Thanks for the information!

Okay if the watcher hadn't noticed until now or if they skipped the filler 1-2 EP special like me, this is where it is going to become the most clear. This is a gag anime, with standalone episodic adventures and no interconnected plots.

While I don't know if there is going to be some sort of character development or bigger plot in the long run, it seems this is what this anime it is in the most part. We were introduced to the main characters already and also a side character the previous episode but in this one we meet with a minor character, the fugitive dad who wants to see his daughter, a character that might not see again in the anime. This episode had no plot development, but it had a nice story and it shows Gintoki more as a guy who likes to help strangers.

If this is how the anime is going to be like, I am all for it, I am always looking for comedy anime because I suffer of depression and I always could go for a quick laugh, an 300+ episode anime that is mostly funny laughs and gags is a lot more preferable to a 300+ episode anime of a shonen protagonist that wants to defeat a big evil but has their story dragged on for eons, or a story about a protagonist that defeats evil after evil but it seems that it is not going anywhere at the end and the stakes become arbitrary and meaningless. Here, everything is meaningless, but that is the point, it is about laughing. And I can see Gintama has a philosophy about life that comes along with the comedy that makes it more enjoyable. Be like a kid.

Overall, I liked the episode, and I can see some of the anime's formula for each episode now, black comedy sparkled in, an action scene, and an emotional backstory. With episode three it was Sinpachi's desire to be a Samurai and problem with the dojo's and his sister, with episode four, it was Kaguya's search for food and remorse at her old job, with episode five it was Katsura's and Gintoki's emotional speech about standing for his ideals and not the rebels, now it was the story about the father of the idol singer.

If anything it looks like a strong formula and it shows how this show has become so popular over the years. But well, I still have long ways to go to watch the rest of the material.

Returned yesterday to this episode that was one i remembered to most since the beginning, and still very good now that i know even more of this funny foul-mouthed idol singer's background


Kagura eating while interrogated and then needing to throw up after she's out of the building... "noooo we are on tv right now!"


Gintoki is also extremely foul-mouthed in italian dub when he discovered why the old guy wanted to be at that kind of concert, now i'm asking if it is the same in the original language. And then, nice discovery about Shinpachi being an actual fan club leader, as nice is also the fake commercial shoehorned into the eyecatch


Otsu was so off key as a child, well, she actually improved and the father stayed on his word. It was good that she actually recognized him.


Kintama this soon already was nice to see again. But Shinpachi really doesn't want to be part of it.
