I had the feeling that this girl would be this old hag. Wasn't wrong.


Still better love story than Twighlight.

I had not imagined that Otose could be the young girl the old man was talking about.

These episodes are great!

5/5

In case you missed it, the nurse threw FULL urine receptacles at Gin and Shinpachi.

Well, the old man died happy, at least. Ayano sure was pretty as a young adult.

A funny series that also manages to touch your heart and get you emotional. This episode was really great, especially seeing the soft side of Otose. Loved it, a good amount of feels and a happy ending.

The series continues to be quite funny but it sometimes sucker punches you with these emotional scenes. They don’t feel forced either and more often than not are accompanied by a deeper meaning and life lesson.


I agree. At first I thought Gintama was just all comedy. But Gin always have some words of wisdom he shares.

When are they ever going to be paid for a job...
Her backstory explains why she lets Gintoki continue to live on the flat above her even though he nearly never pays the freaking rent! Why was this episode nearly an hour long? I couldn't watch it on Crunchyroll so I watched it somewhere else and the story switched to the old lady's cat-eared employee--was that the next episode?

This was a pretty sad episode, I thought this was just full of comedy but why, but things like this makes it even better.

Poor man, at least he got what he always wanted at the end. Also more backstory for the old woman so not complaining.

for a second i thought it was shinpachi's mom, bc the young woman kinda looked like shinpachi's sister. it's kinda funny that it was otose though, she was a really kind person and still is. I'm getting more and more hooked on this show as it goes on

Alright I gotta say that I really enjoyed this episode as always

The Strawberry Milk speech is easily one of the best speeches of all time ngl; I honestly was not expecting Otose to be Ayano, but the moment when Sadaharu lead Gintoki and the others toward their place, that's when I found out that Otsose was Ayano and it just shocked me

I was also happy to at least see the old man spend his final moments being happy, the scene with the old man and Ayano was really nice to watch; definitely excited to see what's next!

Poor old guy even though he was annoying, surprising to see that Otose was the beautiful girl from the past, she changed a lot LOL

I was not that much surprised because I already expected that that old hag will be that beautiful lady. She changed from beauty to ugly & good to bad. Episode had everything thing from goofiness to emotions.
5/5 episodes!!

Came back to this remembering a sweet little nice episode, and in fact once again and this early in its history this show was already this good in balancing sad, funny and uplifting moments.


That fake strawberry milk commercial before Shinpachi interrupts for me was already even more epic than the famous speech that comes after... and I'm sad that it isn't sold in italy.


"she can't be Ayano, come on"
"how do you know my real name?"

DAMN.

I'll just stop here for once. She was so extremely beautiful and nice as a young woman, i just can't go further.

oh my god this episode was just beautiful :'(

Otose was the old man's crush?what happened to her?

i mean she's still a great person for taking care of gintoki and co,but still she looks completely different,smoking and having a "tired of life" atitude

oh well,that's too bad ;(,but i know she's a great character :-)

5/5

this episode there was a guy hanging between life and death; he shouldn't be in the rehabilitative ward. they should operating or give him personal rooms

They said he was broke plus if he's on death door it's usually best to leave a patient breathing oxygen, looking at the sky and being surrounded by loved ones.

Well, putting a thought to it, Otose is actually a pretty kind person, coz I never remember meeting a landlord who allowed 3 overdue tenants who are the definition of chaos with a paranormal dog which causes nothing but trouble.

Otose had a more depth to her character and I didn't expected her to be more than a tool for comedy.
