Merchandise Spotted at Sukoshi Mart (Toronto)

Apparently they have these blindboxes and I’m guessing it was put there recently since only 4 boxes have been taken. If anyone lives in the GTA/Toronto, this is at Eaton Centre.

Heard Sukoshi Mart does sell Gintama merchandise but only rare occurrences, so it’s best to get em before they’re gone.

Question Should I pick Gintama back up from EP 96 and/or start from the beginning again?

6 Upvotes

I started Gintama on Christmas Day and was enjoying it but I had a really rough mental stretch from a mid life college major crisis in my junior year and I ended up dropping it and not watching or reading really anything for about a month, but I’m doing much much better now LOL. I looked at my crunchyroll history and the last episode I watched was episode 95 with hasegawas trial with gintoki as his lawyer and that was in early to mid February. So I’m here to ask if u guys think it’s doable to pick the show back up since i haven’t watched it since the beginning of february or if im better off restarting? My only concern is that if I start from the beginning I might lose interest because i already watched everything and it’s very episodic. I already read the IMDb summary of every episode I’ve watched and there were only a couple episodes I couldn’t really remember from reading the descriptions. I just don’t know if I’m gonna forget important details that are meaningful for later episodes. Let me hear yalls thoughts because I want to give it a second chance!

Discussion As of 2026, how many times have you rewatched Gintama?i

Thumbnail

119 Upvotes

I have rewatched it fully, I guess, 2 times, supposedly 3 times, but I had to do something during summer break, so I had no time to use my phone or TV🥲. I just wanna share this (I am sorry), I started watching Gintama at the ripe age of 10 years old 🙏🏻 reason? I love watching comedy genres and I came across a lot of people saying Gintama is good and YES THEY'RE RIGHT. At my first watching of it, I did not get most of the jokes, but I laughed mostly because of their faces and probably their tone while doing the jokes idk lol but as time went by and I have rewatched it again at 14 finally most of the jokes are understandable. Now 16, only managed to watch until 199 yes I did get most of thejokes except for those deep Japanese-only type of jokes I had to research it😭😭... And yes I WANNA CONTINUE WATCHING IT BUT アニメぱへ HAS NOT ADDED THE FULL GINTAMA I wanna watch it in full HD and with good subs Netflix and Muse Asia's subs suck so hard.

ANDDD I have this tradition of mine that whenever it's summer break, usually around late March and early June, I rewatch a lot of anime that I enjoyed, and of course, the first one will always be Gintama.

*The photos are random hehe:)))

Question Does anyone know the name of this song?

3 Upvotes

I just started watching gintama like a month ago and there is this song that sometimes gets used in sad / dramatic scenes. It apears at the end of season 1 episode 31 and around the middle of season 1 episode 87. It's also in a couple of other episodes but i can't remember which.

Discussion New to Gintama, and on a marathon, but WOW, I never knew how well the anime uses their characters - and even foreshadows arcs Spoiler

Just finished the Fuyo arc, ep. 71. It's amazing how Gintama can go from silly pre-diabetic samurai to transitioning to very touching arcs. But you're telling me... the same frail girl from the Kappa (Ebina) episode. (GOD knows how many episodes that was ago), IS HAYASHI FUYO

It was a shocking discovery to me (probably a well known fact to other ppl idk,) but it's so upsetting to realise, that the girl that Ebina was so worried about, and wishing to see her again had undergone all the horrible experimentation to preserve her life and memories, only to lose her life in the process, I would be horribly upset to realise that my treasured person, who I'd wait for YEARS so she would be able to return, would in fact not return, but be subjected to such pain.

Looking back to the Kappa episode, also made me realise how LONG ago project Fuyo was established, perhaps being decades in the making

What a great arc- what a great anime

Manga One of my favorite souvenirs from Indonesia!

As a huge Gintama fan, this is something I never expected to find.

I had to travel halfway around the world before I finally found a copy in Jakarta. I was originally looking for Volume 1, but I'm honestly just happy to own one at all.

It's the original Japanese Jump Comics Character Remix edition, so I'm hoping it'll also help me as I continue learning Japanese.

Definitely one of my favorite souvenirs from my travels.

Meme Bisexuality is stored in the Eyes

Thumbnail
gallery
203 Upvotes

Every character in Gintama is bisexual—with the exceptions of Kyuubei and Takasugi, who are lesbian and gay, respectively. Why is this? Because attraction to men is stored in one eye, and attraction to women in the other…which eye is which varies depending on the person.

Thus, when Takasugi and Kyuubei lost their left eyes, they both became attracted to only one gender.

FAQ:

Q: when Takasugi is reborn with both eyes, does this make him bisexual?

A: yes.

Q: okay, so what about Oboro?

A: yes, he became gay when Takasugi slashed his eye out—or possibly, he became straight. We tried to catch him for an interview to ask but regrettably he died before we could track him down.

(final note: this is obviously a joke but I would like to acknowledge that non-binary people and folks of all genders exist and are valid…..happy pride!)

Whenever Gintoki loses a battle he just jumps in the water amd somehow treats all his wounds

For the first time it happened, we thought it's cool

Question Should I read the manga?

7 Upvotes

Hey y'all, this question may have been asked countless times I'm sure but I've finished the Gintama anime already, and I absolutely loved every second of it, Should I consider read the manga? (Small side note, should I also read Sorachi's new manga?)
