I'm sure he's off doing training with Gintoki and the gang again. Or was injured from those misadventures.

I don't really understand what you're saying here, but the early ~30 episodes are pretty eh. Might I suggest watching episode 231 instead for a better idea about series?

No I'm really confused about how bleh people seem to be about it.

I guess more cause I see it as a very strong post modern existential piece and everyone is just hamming it up cause 'jokes'?

There's only 3 pages. I was honestly confused if this was some kind of archive reboot.

Gintama is really good but it's also not the show that invites a ton of discussion since a lot of it is standalone.

If episode 25 isn't a complete microcosm of reasons why this show had always been good then why I waiting for 231?

25 isn't as representative because it has like zero dick jokes.

And every once in a while I get extra excited about an episode or small arc, and it just happens to be 231 at the moment.

For a bunch of otaku the discussion of how aliens are just a deus ex machina for interjecting contemporary tropes and OMG SHONEN JUMP into the work is... weird.

Like, the aliens are an obvious analogue for Matthew Perry opening up Japan, but they also act as justification for all the crazy situations Sorachi throws in. It's both, really.

Honestly if you believe this I don't know because that episode is literally infinity dick joke. Fractal dickbutt.

If seriously the whole theme of the thread is 'just watch episode 231 man' well I'm gonna watch it anyways but what is the thread about here. Just loving post a crunchroll link or some poo poo.

The theme of the thread is that you should watch every episode.

I think it's implicitly assumed that you know how to get to Crunchyroll and/or Google.

Horrible follow up to that post, it seems.

I think the show is amazing otherwise I wouldn't have trudged in here to find a thread about it.

On the topic of what episode what do you show somebody this to get them into it?

If you're trying to convince someone who has never watched anime before in their life, just loving forget it. Otherwise, I find episode 23 to be a very good slice of what most of the show seems to be.

I AM ONLY UP TO EPISODE 45 be gentle

Painting all white people as aliens is loving genius. You get to have a period piece and a sci-fi piece at the same time.

I guess I shouldn't try to get hyphy about animes at 5 in the morning but seriously I do like it a lot.

Lol, we're getting genderbend arc figures for both Gintoki and Hijikata. The fujoshi game is too strong.
