Yeah, sigh. The first 24 episodes really did make people drop it in the first place...

I'd say you should watch just episode 1-3 and start around in the early 30s.

That's not a good idea. New watchers at least need to see Kagura's opening episodes.

It depends on the individual. It never took me more than 10 minutes to read a chapter, no matter how much text there is.

And the other characters' too. Katsura, the shinsengumi, Takasugi, Sa-chan, Hasegawa... Even though the first season is not that good, you can't exactly entirely skip it.

Pretty much lol'd at the various new year cards' comments.

I should probably speed up on the 1st Gintama series
3/4 to go!

If I had to ship Gintoki with anybody, I'd choose Tsukuyo too. She's just perfect.

I haven't watched through the entire first season yet so I don't know Tsukuyo but that was a nice episode I liked the first half better though, mostly because of the excessive referencing to Ryomaden which made me ROFL

Eps 3 is good eventhough not all-random like the previous episode.

Spoiler for newyearcard:

Then you should watch both Yoshiwara is Burning arc (Episodes 139-146) and Red Spider arc (Episodes 177-181). Both are some of the best arcs the series has to offer.

& let's forgot one of the most hilarious arcs (which was mentioned in this weeks episode), the Popularity Poll arc (Episodes 182-184). This would be a good one to watch for people who don't know a lot of the cast from the first season.

The boy who can't get chocolate at 14th February from girl, they're regarded as unpopular guy, in Japan.

So, Tae bought many chocolates for charity. (or it's also girl's grand program to get a boy who they really cares for, maybe)

Both segments were great and they tied together quite nicely.

I think she looks cuter because she was blushing, acting like a girl or dare I say it? she was moe in the second segment.

Also a bit late but... that Gintama x Sket Dance crossover looks awesome, and they made a reference that Gintoki and Switch being voiced by the same seiyuu.
Now I want a Beezlebub x Gintama crossover just so Furuichi and Shinpachi can team up.

I agree. Damn, who would have known a Hallmark holiday (or in this case a Japanese National Confectionary Industry Association holiday) would cause so much grief.

...Wait, what? Where is this? I've only seen a bit of Sket Dance before, but is this a massive crossover, or just a reference?

Ah... Crap, that means the chances of it actually being translated are nil. Darn it. XD I have to say congrats to the one person that is still translating Gintama however. They're now outlasting an entire corporation.

But, to get back on topic, I have to say that Zura on standby mode made me laugh, and "We got four chocolates today Gin-san. That's my final answer." made me go 'Awww~'
