I'm wanting to see female Zura. And Elizabeth for that matter; since Sadaharu changed into a horse we can only guess whats happened to Elizabeth.
Also male Otose please.
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...

Don't we practically have a female zura in the cast of supporting characters (if you get me)

hey guys! There'll be another Gintama movie in 2013.
I read about it…
The forthcoming Gintama anime movie is going to premiere this summer after all!
As we have previously reported, the seiyuus said that they were worried about the Gintama movie not coming out as scheduled during last year’s Jump Festa. Now, you can worry no more because a visual art published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine finalises the details, including the official title and release date of the 2013 Gintama movie.The second feature film is titled Gintama the Movie: Final Chapter – Be Forever Yorozuya. It is slated for a nationwide premiere in Japan on July 6. Gintama’s…

what do you think about it guys?

The anime episode that aired today said it was "the end of the Gintama anime", which I'm pretty sure was more trolling since the cast all yelled "Huh? Where'd you get that idea?" after the announcement.
Judging from all the images in Shonen Jump and the little preview shown at the end of the most recent episode, this movie focuses on something from Gintoki's past returning to haunt him; which I think is a nice change of pace considering most of (if not all) the arcs center around Gin-san sticking his neck out for someone else, making their troubles the main focus of the arc. Since it said Sorachi has heavy involvement with the picture I can only hope it will be insanely awesome.

Chapter is out and pretty hilarious http://www.batoto.net/read/_/162071/gintama_v50_ch438_by_hi-wa-mata-noboru

OMG. PaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XDXDXD I NEED TO BREATH…
I really can't wait for when this is animated. I wonder if they'll have the same voices or if it will be the same seiyu's pretending to be the opposite gender either way i'm loving ths
-
I just need a second to restate that male Kagura is amazing
-
Male kagura is awesome but i'm also liking female Kondo. That was the biggest laugh of that chapter
-
This thing is too hilarious. And Kagura is too awesome.
And I'm only the thinking that's at the end of this arc, it will be revealed that Shinpachi get gender-swapped too… But he is so plain that he looks the same even as a girl.
-
Fun chapter. I really hope the anime keeps the same VAs for this.
-
Today's episode was the final episode (for the third time). I think they brought the anime this time for the promotion of the movie. Well, I hope the anime comes back with 50 episodes the next time like they did in the second time.
-
Yeah same. I imagine it was only short this time because they were making a movie at the same time
-
New chapter is out http://www.batoto.net/read/_/163862/gintama_v50_ch439_by_hi-wa-mata-noboru
Oh god, Kagura. This whole thing has just been a gold mine in general -
Oh man, such an awesome chapter!
-
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/164712/gintama_v50_ch440_by_hi-wa-mata-noboru/1
! I want the anime opening to have Ginko and friends and an old op song with a girly voice.
-
General Kagura is now my favorite character in this series. Noone else can compare to his glory
-
Apparently the last dvd that was released in Japan (at least the limited edition) included a bonus OST with music from the last few arcs. If anyone finds it, please post here. 'Cause so far, I'm not having any luck
-
Too bad gender speech patterns don't carry over translations.
Ginko and few others shift between Male speech and Girly speech all the time through out the arc

and kagura. And the subtle ending. all to good

the kunai, man, I burst out laughing, lol

The Dark Matter. I hope no one ate that.

I think it's implied that all of them eat it XD

Madao chapters are always my favourites. -
oh god haha. Even Madao is unlucky at death
-
This was a pretty cool chapter though. Leave it to Sorachi to introduce two totally new characters and in less than 17 pages having you caring for them. Also Hasegawa should not kill himself.
-
New chapter is out and simply hilaring but more importantly:
! WTF is that???? It's so confusing, I don't get if it's a serious movie or a comedy one. It looks like the arc when Shinpachi thought two years have passed but it's even more crazy. Why Katsura became all Takasugi like??!!

! from what i've heard and got from that trailer it appears an old group that gin fought during the war reappears and attacks edo. At the same time Gin some how wakes up in the future; a future that, because he disappeared, has been destroyed. The shinsengumi have been disbanded and katsura, kagura and shinpachi are fighting against this group
Here are some character scans for the film from WSJ

Movie poster spoilers:
! Notice the Charm points: Kagura's Dress has Gintoki's design, and Shimpachi seems to have Laketoya
-
extremely hilarious chapter, i lost my shit just alone with sage mode + whiting out.
Also, the movie is looking gorgeous.

Probably it was just Thursday's Elizabeth.

Well, after two months, I've finally caught up. I didn't think it'd take me so long, but in addition to starting Beelzebub at the same time and focusing on it (since it was the shorter series) and Gintama being a rather verbose manga, I can see why it happened. Anyway, man, why did I take so long to give this a shot? Sorachi is a master of parody, obscene humor and, most importantly, characterization. Seriously, there hasn't been a single character I dislike, that wasn't written specifically to be disliked. And, as it's been noted by a few people here, Sorachi can write the hell out of his female characters. Kagura is absolutely amazing; whether she's kicking ass, being girly or puking her guts out, I love her character. Oda (and Kishi and Kubo, for that matter) should take a page from Sorachi's book, when it comes to writing women. Hell, in some cases, they should take the whole fucking book.
Anyway, I don't want to drag this out too much, but my favorite arcs would have to be Gintoki's harem and the recent gender swap arc. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the serious stuff, but I'm of the opinion that the humor is where Gintama truly shines. This manga makes me laugh a lot. And I don't mean just a chuckle or two, but actual laughter. Keep on parodying/mocking anyone and everyone, Sorachi, you brilliant mangorillaka…
Oh, and the trailer for the new movie looks great.
! Hooray for the return of grown up Kagura!
-
So, am I the only one who read chapter 447? Kagura's followup to the accusations and how much worse it made things sound was hilarious. Toss even more chum to the sharks, why don't you?
Gin's strategy for dealing with GKB's monopolizing of the fans at the event was brilliant, by the way. You may not be female, but you're certainly a bitch, Gin…
[hide]I hate to double-post![/hide]
-
I just read it. Haha that was a clever plan
and once again kagura makes me laugh really hard -
Just started with gintama , already episode 41 in three days.Hope i catch up fast.
I am definitely loving the series so so so much. -

Well, after two months, I've finally caught up.
I am glad to see you liked Gintama as much as you did. Gorilla certainly deserves the credit.
Oda (and Kishi and Kubo, for that matter) should take a page from Sorachi's book, when it comes to writing women. Hell, in some cases, they should take the whole fucking book.
The way you worded it, it sounds as if Kubo and Kishimoto write better female characters than Oda. You probably want to switch the names in the brackets. But in no way does that change the fact Sorachi shames them all in this department.

Yeah, the harem arc is one of the best, not only among the latest ones, but the series as the whole. Small size and high amount of Sorachi’s arcs makes it possible for him to do high quality stuff even 50 volumes in.
-
Yeah Sorachi is the best when it comes to write female characters (thought last chapters aren't very volorizing to womens image :D)
I think what make Sorachi such a good mangaka is that he never do fanservice, Oda's female characters were almost as good as Sorachi's in the first chapters of One Piece, but that was before Nami's incredible growth…
Sorachi's strategy is "Let fanservice to beginners! Pros do fan trolling!" xD -

Really? Because I thought it was pretty clear that I meant Oda was the lesser evil, whereas his other two contemporaries were the worst offenders. I guess I should've gone with the more straightforward "Oda (and especially Kubo and Kishi) should take a page from Sorachi's book, when it comes to writing women." Oh well…
-
Deviant_Mugen did you try to watch the anime or did you only read the manga?
-
So far, I've only read the manga and watched a few episodes here and there (mostly those that adapted the chapters/arcs I found funniest).
I'll definitely be watching the anime soon, though, since the voices and animation definitely add to Gintama's greatness (Sugita is perfect as Gintoki, and hearing Kumigiya Rie's voice coming out of Kagura's mouth is just hilarious to me), but I haven't started on it just yet…
-
Trust me, the anime is amazing
-
Yes anime is much better than manga, you should watch it all, especially the benizakura arc. The harem arc wasn't very well adapted though. But there's a lot more fun in anime, and a lot more trolling too xD
-
I already watched the harem arc, and I thought it was a great adaptation of the material. That Shichibukai debate between Gin's "conquests" was amazing…
-
i really liked the harem arc in the anime. It seems a little shorter but i don't think there's anything missing so it's probably just me
-
The only problem aout the harem arc was the fact that too much scenes were censored (the funnyest, when Gintoki is in the theater) and it was also shortened. Funny arcs in the anime are usually a lot better than that.
-
The harem arc was censored, huh? If it was, I certainly didn't notice .__. I still laughed my ass off
-
Yeah, they placed a big picture of one of the doll heads to cover up some mischief in the theater. The same thing happened to the Shogun vacation episode as well.
-
wow gintama movie is actually coming out…i hesitated to believe this for months...
-
Yes at least in past episodes when they censor they usually use little mosaics and that was a lot more faithful to the original manga. And even the scenes that was censored were really fast that we actually can't see anything. I wonder how viewers who didn't read the manga can understand what's happening…
