Gintama: Porori-hen

Dec 12, 2021

Gintama.: Porori-hen
Gintama: Slip Arc


Questionable, but it's an undisputed fact for me. This season is the best of all Gintama, without exception. Not in terms of overall quality, but in terms of entertainment values.

But one wonders why? There are so many seasons and this season of all seasons is supposed to be the best? Well, the reasons are absurdly simple.

Gintama is a parody comedy with a relatively average plot, a lot of melodrama, great humor, and likable characters. And if you remove the "plot", all that remains is pure bizarre comedy as it should have been.

I can hardly put into words how much I enjoyed this wacky stupid season, without any drawn-out fights, slow pacing, and melodrama. This is Gintama, in its full bloom. Some other seasons achieved similar quality, but due to the constant fluctuations with the "Serious Arcs" and the lousy transitions, massive amounts of entertainment were lost.

[Plot 2]

Single humorous arcs without a real plot and with minimal narration.

[Characters 6]

The characters showed their best side here. You saw again, their egoistic and crazy personality and all their senseless conflicts. Whether it was to make money or simply to prevent the wedding between giants.

[Animations 5]

Average as ever. Gintama has never been known for excellent animation. For average presentation, these are more than enough.

[Music 7]
The usual familiar Easterns, without any great additions.
The intro from the Slip Arc is by far one of the most visually accurate for Gintama, which reflects the series well.
The outro is strange, musically relatively nice.


Conclusion


Since this season had nothing to do with the main storyline, it was a nice change of pace to see Gintama in all its glory once again.
