| Awww, that was a sad Madao episode! and talking about him like he was a plant too LOL!!! and putting him in a dog house! xD |
 |
| This episode was as hilarious as emotional. Madao <3 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| TFW a little kid giving a class presentation about how he kept a middle aged man living in his doghouse can give you massive feels. This episode literally encapsulates everything that makes this show a masterpiece. I have no words |
| Such a good episode. The first presentation was so sweet and th main one was a bit depressing . Written by MOM. |
 |
| What magnificent episode tears of joy and sadness were shed. |
| Funny, yet emotional without ruining the tone of each part. A story that can only be told in Gintama! |
| Best Madao is drunk Madao. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| One of the best Gintama episodes ever for sure. It was written by your Aargh! Poor Madao, he is just a Madao. Also, didn't know Madao was an alchy, just thought he liked parks a lot. |
| Wow the feels were hit hard in this one! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| That was actually a really good episode, Madao sacrificing himself so his father could come back. Also the plot twist at the end, "Written by Mom" |
 |
| It's never too late to bloom again, Madao! |
| This was the best Madao and one of the best Gintama episodes no doubt. It was so beautiful, funny and emotional, I cried at the end. The first part was hilarious with the teacher's comments and the second part was so heartfelt. The overall tone of the episode and transition from comedy to seriousness was done perfectly. It just shows everything this show does right. Poor Hasegawa, he has such a good heart. He definitely deserves better. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| Only gintama can make episodes both super funny depressing and touching all at the same time, i think this was the best singular episode till now it has everything. I love how the mom went from "you gotta take better care of IT and make sure IT won't escape again" To asking her son if he wants a new daddy. Also i hope i wont become a madao in the future lol |

| I usually dislike Madao episodes because they're boring af but this one was one of the best from the whole season tbh. The end credits showing Daigoro's mom did all the work was an amazing twist lol |
 |
| This is actually a good episode. A heartfelt one with right amount of funny moments. |
| I only comment on these episode threads if I really liked or really disliked the episode, and thankfully this was the former. An absolutely fantastic episode, good comedy and lots of feels, and really makes you feel bad while also increasing your respect for Hasegawa. I thought it was going to be a regular Madao episode where he's just treated like shit for comedic value but I was pleasantly surprised. 5/5 |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| there's sake in my eyes where did it come from..... welp |
  Arteta's Tricky Reds!   |
| I agree this is probably the most heartwarming Madao episode yet. |
| This made me appreciate Hasegawa-san even more |
Madao had already bloomed long ago.... |

| Madao blooms beautifully. Truly a touching episode, one of Gintama's best, blending perfectly the humor and heartfelt moments. Good thing the humor never gets out of place, is timed perfectly to let the emotions truly brim to its fullest. And here I thought only humor really works well with Gintama, glad I was proven wrong. |
| . . . |
| This is one of my favourite Episode. My respect for Hasegawa san is even more now. I don't drink but sake is coming out of my eyes too. |
| The story was so heartwarming... then the very last part was so funny LOL now I love Hasegawa even more, he's the best |
(madao had already bloomed) Such a tragic and emotional novel. His mother was the one who wrote the novel lmao. That was unexpected news. But, this made me like Hasegawa's character even more. We all know that he's a good guy deep inside. But he's still a madao.. PS: Naruto's voice LOL |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Unironically loved this episode. Gained more respect towards Madao now |
| I'm shocked at how great this episode was actually, that was just brilliant, best school project ever on what of the best character: Madao xD |
 |
| still one of the best episodes in the entire series Madao been a real one |
| Floyd Mayweather English Tutor |
| Madao had already bloomed long ago.. damn Mom wrote a masterpiece :') lmao |
| This was just epic! "Madao had already bloomed long ago" Loved each and every second of it! |
| Beginning was boring but it turned out to be really good. Where Hasegawa kept his promise and was drinking water instead of sake... I teared up. |
| Wait, people love this episode? Did not expect that lol |
| Ahhh a Madao ep, made me feel better about my life...... |
| ..what was up with this kid's hair? Also, shame on him for cheating, even if it was a genius final twist After these details, insert parkour meme here because of how this show pulls off switching from sad to funny moments with this level of perfection. The framing device of a summer diary at the return to school was clever, as it was the teacher always interrupting the story told in such a monotone voice and also the other kids wanting to be informed about how it ended. Of course it ended with Madao being Madao, but it was so well made overall. |
