Actually a good episode. Only took 24. It didn't make me laugh, but the actual plot is extremely sweet. Considering that anime usual treats LGBT people somewhere between "derision" and "hate crime", I wasn't expecting this to handle it so well. It's like they're people too, or something.

Increased my rating for the show from 1 to 2 for this episode. Still awful, but at least this was good.

Katsura and Gin spitting on the little kids O_o I was slightly repulsed but oddly amused.

I was 100% amused. That part was absolutely hilarious.

Plot builds through these episodes, for example in Episode 13, 17, and 27, and also if you count the introduction of characters

you'll be seeing that a lot, like the 4 Devas Serious arc was built since Episode 11 and 12, but you don't realize it until you eventual get to that arc, and you see that subtle building to it

Honestly, this was one of the worst episodes yet. I thought it was just incredibly boring and had almost no comedy, nor an interesing story

Didn't like the episode. Wasn't very funny aside from a few moments especially with the alien prince and it had a very ham-fisted and forced message. Katsura was pretty hot as a chick though.

I don't get how all these tranvestites are trying to act and look like women, but they all have 5 o'clock shadow on their faces. Are they really trying?

Alright, I can say for sure that I really enjoyed this episode

I thought that it was pretty funny that Gintoki and Zura were both forced to become Mopette and Zurako, and ngl, they both don't look that bad as females, especially Zura

I also really liked the other people who were part of the girly boy club as well, although they do seem to be weird, as Teruhiko said, they're all really good people, and his mom/dad is also a pretty badass person as well. I also really liked hearing about Teruhiko's side of things as well, I personally thought that the speech that he made at the end of the episode was pretty touching as well

I personally thought that this episode was really funny and pretty touching, and I really like that; definitely excited to see what's next!

I liked Teruhiko and his kabuki group, living the way they want to without caring about other people's insults. Zura actually looks great in that outfit and the makeup.

Yes Majin buu you shouldn't have come to earth in the first place you fat piece of shit.

The idiot Amanto prince with a knack for collecting dangerous species strikes again. A very funny episode. Gintoki and Katsura were kawaii as trans-women :) And their senpai was quite impressive - and a good father/mother too!

Loved the story and loved the crossdressing of Gintoki & Katsura!!

EDIT:- I was drinking milk when they were buried by the monster and when prince & his assistant started talking, I laughed soo hard that milk spilled out of my mouth XD

Katsura changing his phrase to his new name is always funny, first we got Captain Katsura and now Zurako. And I love how he tells that to everyone, not just Gintoki.

This message about gender and everything could have been executed better if the show took itself serious all the time. But I did enjoy the goofi-ness.

I think it was a very good episode all around, the spirit matters more than the appearance. The nouns are all weird with them mixing the okasa and obacha and all that, but considering it is in Japan and written at least some decades ago, it is fine, gender has been seen differently depending on the time and the place. The whole reason for Otose to say "I had to be a mom for that kid and I went too far" its also a funny cartoon exaggeration that provides enough context without having to dive deep into the whole topic.

The flow of this episode was also still very weird, but apparently it was parodying a movie if one of the comments is accurate, so maybe I should get used to that kind of thing in this show?

I feel this is based a lot in gender non confirming people with fewer resources that end up doing sexual work to survive, I remember in a reunion of trans people that I saw one of them between us and I realized the world is a lot bigger than what you would think, since our experiences were so different. I did appreciate that when Otose-san told them they could come back and would get special service with a wink, they didn't act creeped out, they just were like "okay" and Katsura saying that they are the same as samurais, just having a different path to take, was great.

Also Katsura... Zurako.... looked really REALLY cute as a girl... I hope this doesn't awaken any writing fanfic urges on me...

Gintoki is forced to cross-dress and work at the "Girly Boy Club" run by Mademoiselle Saigo, encountering Katsura dressed as a woman, and they later try to help Saigo's son Teruhiko who is being bullied. Rated 4/5

A superb episode, the characters were really funny and silly but at the same time they were deep persons with a noble way of living. I really loved to see drag and trans persons; one of the most hilarious episode so far
