It was pretty normal with a few laughs and the episode title was funny: "Stress can lead to baldness, but if you try not to be stressed then that will make you stressed, so there is nothing you can do."

I'm pretty apathetic to the emotional part of the episode, but I was laughing like a loon for the first part with the garbage and the "holy water." This show makes me feel happy. =D

It was an okay episode, just not the Gintama I've come to know and love. Though I did notice that one of the JUMP covers had Kin Tama on it (lol).

I accidentally read ahead in the manga so I already saw this episode coming. Tatsumi's voice really got on my nerves, I just really didnt like it, I guess they werent just trying to make her sound tomboyish but it was a bit too much. Looked up the VA and she hasnt really done much, especially not any major roles.

Next episode doesn't look all that great from the preview.

I'm a Gintama fan boy so I liked the episode. I agree that Tatsumi's voice was a little too tomboyish for my tastes. Anyways I can't wait till the next episode is subbed! It takes so long...-_________- but I'm glad we have sub groups taking the time to work on Gintama.

I thought it was a great episode...

They parody all the classic formulas for story telling, and since it is always so Random and interchanged, Gintama is the ONLY show where I can not predict what is going to happen.

Like it was not nearly as funny as Taizou pissing himself, but I thought the holy water scene and the confusion thereafter was well played out, and made for a few laughs!

It bored me at first but then the story grew on me and I was teary by the end. Ah Gintama is the best in bringing out all emotions... it looks retarded but it's such a smart anime. Gin-chan is the best. (although it's time for more shinsengumi me think...!)

*_* Can't shake the image of Gintoki coming out of that building, all wet and looking like a hero... I don't know why, but to me he seemed hotter now than when he was naked...

Nice story, anyway :)

Yeah, I thought the bubble motif was a little bit overplayed. But, the episode definitely had it's heart in the right place. Plus, Gintoki is such a bad ass.

Well, in real life they'd all be dead anyway, with all the smoke they inhaled. But we do watch anime precisely because they are not like real life, don't we?

So I wasn't the only one.
It's all so goofy and then sometimes Gintama surprises you with those bad-assery moments and it might nearly make you think that Gintoki is a little bit cool.

And actually I really like his outfit. Can I buy that black shirt anywhere?

In the beginning, I thought something serious was going to happen given we hear some monologues of Gintoki but NOPE, turns out he was just going to throw away those JUMP comics. XD

And lol at how he wanted to extinguish the fire just by peeing on them. XDXD
Gintoki: "And so, like I said, I was putting out the fire with my "holy water". LOL.

Holy shit, Kagura beat the crap out of Gintoki. Gintoki's facial expressions while getting beaten by her were priceless. XD

Poor Tatsumi, losing her parents at such a young age. And damn, being a fireman is suffering, such a responsibility for them.

Damn, some touching moments between Tatsumi and that old geezer her father, I liked their conversation.

Gin was BA when he saved that Old man.

Good episode overall, liked it. But what happened to that guy who caused the fire..-.- I wonder.

Whats up with people saying "not the gintama that i've grown to love" Gintama has always been like this, hilarious comedy and deep emotional parts with a nice story.

I pretty much died laughing when those two kids were kick the trash can! We need more of them :) Great emotional story :)
