----------------------------------------
A great episode, from start to finish.

The song at the start was great, and the interview wasn't dragged out like last week's Elizabeth thing.

Otsuu's new song was also awesome. (Hopefully a full version will/is released...)

Otaku Hijikata's return intro was epic.

Gintoki's narration was average, but the repetition was hilarious.

The use of actual pics from the manga was creative (Although the idea came from the manga)

Only uses up 1 manga chapter, yet remains a masterpiece.

Setting up for a seemingly amazing arc... 1 Chapter down, 6 to go.

Overall, 5/5. Lacking in nothing.

This new director (From 151+) has really reignited the Gintama spark that was missing since the last change of directors just after the Itou arc...

This was pretty good. I wonder if Otsuu is coming out with the album because I want it. I loved Gintoki repeition narration. xD

Needs more Tosshi!

I hate Otsu, I think she's the worst character in Gintama and her episodes are boring as fuck. Luckily the second half of this episode wasnt a complete waste of time.

Pretty meh episode, I thought the only really good part was Gintoki's narration gag.

And I'm wary of arcs in Gintama in general. They tend to be hit-or-miss. Hopefully this one will be a good one.

I couldn't agree more. I am absolutely not looking forward to this arc at all...the first episode to it was boring as it is and now I have to sit through at least 5 more episodes? Ugh.

I don't understand why everyone hates Otsu, her episodes are generally entertaining! I particularly loved the episode when she became the leader of the Shinsengumi. Plus, all of her songs are pretty funny, the newest one in this episode is actually my favorite I think.

On paper this arc didn't sound that interesting, but I'm looking forward to it now. It should be a good one!

lmao what an idiotic audience saying the same thing again and again. sou des ne lol.

So basically Shinpachi's fanclub has a protocol to attend every concert even on their parent's funeral (except sister)? This bastard..XD

Fan club war ? too epic . :3 Not to Gin though, he's been trying hard to end this episode XD

Damn, it looks like a arc and with Otsu... I really don`t like her. But at least Toushi is back! XD And loved the new minions he has now. XD

Why is he touching his hand like he is a very shy guy? ROFL..

WTF Gin was reading Gintama. A manga inside an anime of same source? Manga-ception? Lmao.

And now he is trying to end the manga haha.

Ah yeah, the beginning of a new arc. That episode was hilarious, with those hopeless otaku, Tosshi awkward signature position, Gintoki absolutely wanting to end that arc, to the point where he was even ready to end the serie xD

I think this episode made me laugh louder than any other episode when Gintoki tried to end Gintama for good so he wouldn't have to listen to Shinpachi's problems xD Toushi is back and better than ever! His rivalry with Shinpachi is similar to his previous rivalry with Itou (as Hijikata, not Toushi), the looks they give each other are the same! If this arc gets any better it might be the best comedy arc so far! Also, does anyone know the lyrics to Otsu's new song?

Not a big fan of Otsu but this was a very boring episode. It's bad enough when EVEN Hijikata can't save this ep from becoming a bore :( But Gintoki reading the manga was hilarious, he even wanted to end the arc ASAP lmao.

I love that Gintoki keeps trying to abruptly end the anime, whenever the characters break the mold and fuck with the system, it gives me so much life.
this is gonna be such a stupid arc, anything too Shinpachi-centered is always either hit or miss for me, but this looks like it'll include more of the Shinsengumi squad so I'm down for it.

The song at the start lol.

I don't think there was subs on Otsuu's new song on Crunchyroll which was weird.

I loved Gin's narration and keeping on saying it was over LOL!!!

Shinpachi and his club, they all defected to otaku Hijikata LOL!!!

Will Shinpachi's fan club win to be the official one? I take it Gin and Kagura will have to be the other two members now LOL!

When I saw that it would be an arc over the Otsu fan club I was a bit afraid, but it was a good episode. I hope it continues as fun as this ep
And Tosshi is back pssttt XD

Meh. Wasn’t that excited about this ep. As happy as I was to see Toshi back, it still wasn’t enough to bring the ep up to Gintama’s usual standards. Gin trying to end it in the manga was pretty funny though. Hoping the arc improves from here, but whatever - guess they’re allowed some mediocre eps now & then, since 95% of Gintama is greatness!

I thought the ep was pretty funny. Even though Otsu and Shinpachi's otaku shit is usually pretty annoying, I feel like having Hijikata as the main focus point of the arc will save it and make it worth watching. I also actually really liked the Tosshi development this episode.

Gintoki as the narrator and his speech about "oficial" being useless are the two things that made this episode funny for me. Toshi too, but not that much.

Overall, I wish this wouldn't have been an arc and I hope it ends next episode.

Otsu is not a talented singer, her song lyrics are retarded.

On the bright side, Tosshi’s back, guys. Hijikata is still awesome.
