Does anyone know if Crunchyroll will carry on updating the rerun episodes each week? Makes you wonder.

The thread title should be changed back to Gintama now.
That's a good question. If there is nothing new about them, it would be redundant to add these episodes to their library. Even if they air in HD, I doubt they will add them since they never listed any Yorinuki Gintama-san episodes.

Kintama ended, Mantama started and ended, and Gintama returns all in the span of half an hour.
It was all done in a nice style too. Mantama...that's a pretty interesting setting there, what the hell. Good to have the good old silver back.

Now that was a comedy arc and arguably a standard setter for comedy in anime this year. I don't know why this show is able to succeed in getting me to laugh so much where so many other anime comedy have failed to illicit more than a few light chuckles at absolute best, but I think it owes a lot to it's obvious self-awareness and willingness to venture into territory that others won't like outright riffing directly on other anime and it's fans, itself and it's fans and utilizing multiple forms of humor rather than just one style or running joke to keep the ball rolling. It's jokes and segments work as comedy on so many levels when nothing is sacred and anything kind of goes, like for example the whole Mantama segment. They managed to keep that going for about 5 minutes while featuring everything from opening parody to riffing on several moe anime, to ball jokes, to riffing on the massive incongruity between male and female characters in these shows with it's BS excuse as to why the ratio is so off, to overly derpy facial expressions, to 4th wall breaking, to a fitting resolution to the whole Kintama arc.
If there were a poll for that last episode I'd probably be giving a rare 10/10 score right now, and that I can safely say is not a joke or gag. |

This week's episode was a rerun, as we feared. However, Crunchyroll, instead of releasing the rerun, just released the old episode and labeled it "rerun 1", which is pretty dishonest on their part. As such, the new content (new OP & ED -which has a silver car with Sadaharu's head on it by the way - , an all new yorozuya talk about the reruns, and live footage of Gori-san) is completely absent. I'm disappointed.

Yeah, so, about that thread title....about time it got changed, don't you think? The arc (and the joke) is over already.

I finished KinManGintama earlier and I cried! I will watch the rerun at some point and hope that they're able to produce more in the meanwhile.
And to throw in a topic, what's everyone's favourite soundtracks? Mine's "Haruyasumi Ake Ha Minna Chotto Otona Ni Mieru" and "Ketsunoke Vs Shirinoke". Previous favorites included "Yo no Charm Point" and "Business transactions should always come before a fight"
