GINTAMA REVIEW MOVIE
I personally didn’t feel much difference from the TV seasons in terms of the quality though despite it being in movie form. Like the previous seasons, Gintama: The Final is animated by Bandai Namco Pictures, making the art style faithful and consistent throughout the series. All too familiar art and animation… sort of When in actuality they probably played a significant role in the battle, being the police force and all. Lucky for Kondo fans, he got his own side story with the gorilla wedding, but Toshiro and Sougo’s appearances were just not enough for me. Their appearance is what disappointed me the most. I mean, screw time skips, right? Shinsengumi I quite enjoyed the new look during the dissolution of the Yorozuya, it’s a shame that they reverted back to their original outfits and stuff once Gintoki came back. I really missed this quartet of odd jobbers. While Katsura does play serious roles, they’re quite fleeting, leaving me a bit unsatisfied. Sometimes, I do feel that Katsura is purely created for comic relief (can be argued that the whole cast is) and often feel like the third wheel of the three. Constantly switching between allies and enemies, the different changes got me so engaged and invested in these characters. I’ve always liked the dynamic and relationship between Gintoki, Takasugi and Katsura. I know it was supposed to signify hope, but I think that’s overrated anyway (jk).Īpart from the fact that they also concluded the Ginpachi-sensei segment after the credits, it’s somehow hard to feel like it’s the end. When they showed a potential reincarnation of Takasugi, I felt like it undermined Takasugi’s sacrifice. It’s too open, which I know is classic Gintama-style.

But I wasn’t that big of a fan of the actual ending.
GINTAMA REVIEW SERIES
Gintama is a shounen series which means it needs to finish on a high note. While I shouldn’t be surprised that I’ll be trolled until the very end (what with Otae and Kendo’s final scene), I felt a bit unsatisfied that no ships were eventually confirmed. We saw some potential love lines throughout the Gintama series, with Kondo and Otae being the most obvious one. But due to this, it felt like it got overcrowded trying to squeeze in as many characters as possible. Trying to balance this out with the main plot of the film was probably quite challenging. But with the screentime of 1 hour and 44 minutes, it was a fairly ambitious task giving viewers just a quick glance of the different characters. It’s always great to see your favourite characters one last time before your beloved show concludes.
GINTAMA REVIEW PRO
The pro is that it signifies that it’s finally at the end. There are pros and cons to having the entire cast making one last appearance in the film. I’m still not sure whether I liked that or not. It’s like we just skipped straight to the climax. Dragon Ball recap aside, it was a bit overwhelming at first being dropped in the middle of the fight right at the start. The combination of present and past scenarios, along with the comic relief scenes, balances out the overall progression of the film, so it feels pretty easy to follow through. But before you get figurative whiplash from the quick pacing, it slows right back down with the emotive flashbacks, bringing us all back to the events that built up this conclusion. The film is packed with intense and fast-paced action scenes that make you feel like you’re right in the midst of the battle. And the ridiculousness continued right up to the end with the false aftermath of the fight from Tama’s perspective. Despite the gravity of the situation, they managed to illustrate and recap the events in the Dragon Ball art style from the get-go. It wouldn’t be Gintama if it’s not littered with countless inappropriate jokes, blatant plagiarism and parodies, Gintama: The Final did not disappoint. Gintoki, Takasugi and Katsura, along with the rest of the city, goes on an all-out battle to stop the Tendoushuu and fulfil their teacher Shouyou’s final wish: to bring an end to himself.

The Tendoushuu is using the Terminal to revive Utsuro, so they become true immortals. Synopsisīased on the final chapters of the manga series, the film goes straight into the heart of the action as Gintoki, Takasugi and Katsura push through countless enemies and fight the Tendoushuu who’ve attacked Edo and taken over the Terminal. But alas, here I am processing if the ending did the Yorozuya crew justice. Despite not having seen the last Gintama season for several years now, I hesitated to watch this film as it meant accepting this great series is finished. After so many false endings, we’ve reached the true end. The troll of an anime series known as Gintama finally makes its conclusion with the release of the final movie.
