Our Review
Written by AnimeReview TeamBut it's not just the comedy that got me. The Yoshiwara arc in this season hit me right in the feels. The way they explored the tragic backstories of the characters, the enduring love, the pain... it was all so beautifully done. I was completely invested in their struggles and found myself tearing up more than once. The Yorozuya's dedication to helping these people, using their hearts and souls? It just solidified why I love these characters so much. They're not just funny; they're genuinely good people who care deeply.
Visually, Sunrise absolutely nailed it. The animation is smooth, vibrant, and perfectly captures the energy of the series. The fight scenes are dynamic and exciting, and the comedic moments are perfectly exaggerated. And the music? Oh man, the soundtrack is phenomenal. It perfectly complements the mood of each scene, whether it's a hilarious gag or a heart-wrenching moment. I honestly think the sound design enhances the whole viewing experience so much.
Overall, "Gintama': Enchousen" is a masterpiece. It blends humor and heart in a way that few anime can pull off. It's a wild ride from start to finish, and I found myself laughing, crying, and cheering along with the characters. If you're a fan of action, comedy, or just genuinely good storytelling, you absolutely need to watch this. Trust me, you won't regret it! It's easily one of my all-time favorites.

Honestly, I felt like some of the plot points were rushed. They could've given certain character arcs more screen time. Still funny, but not the best arc compared to the manga.
Enchousen hit different. I cried like a baby during the farewell scenes, but then Gintoki was back to being a goofball five minutes later. Peak Gintama, no cap.
Okay, I'm new to Gintama, and everyone told me to watch this after the main series. Was it worth it? Yes! But also...why is everything so sad?!
Gintoki getting his priorities straight (mostly) to save everyone? You love to see it. Definitely gonna rewatch this again soon!
