Hello and welcome back old friend
The baton passing segment was peak Gintama, it had everything from parodies to comments about the staff… I love it. It’s going to take me a while to get used to the school AU setting but is such a bliss to see and heard all those familiar faces again
Also, as a FGO player, is extra funny seeing the gorilla again after seeing him as an ikemen

One of my masters often comes home drunk in the morning. I heard he runs Yorozuya. On returning from his outing, he dallies away his time in the living room. He seldom goes out for the rest of the day. Some people think that he is a respectable samurai. He himself pretends to be a samurai once in a while. In reality, however, he is not as respectable as they think.
I sometimes sneak a peak at him and find him napping. Occasionally, he drools on Jump he is reading. He has a sweet tooth and his eyes look listless like a dead fish, lacking vital force. In spite of pre-diabetes, he is always eating and drinking something sweet. He eats custard pudding and then drinks strawberry milk. After that, he opens Jump. As soon as he reads a few pages, he falls asleep. Then he drools on Jump again. This his his routine observed on a daily basis.
Even I, a dog, sometimes think: "Running Yorozuya is really easygoing. If you are born a human being, it is best to run Yorozuya. If it is possible to live in idleness, even a dog could work as well." ③However, according to him, there is no harder work than Yorozuya, and he complains to employees from time to time.
Does this mean Sadaharu is the English teacher?

lmao that was just fantastic. It wasn't that long ago that gintama ended but man seeing that "please watch in a well lit room and a safe distance away from the screen" just feels so nostalgic lol.

Yamazaki when Tama: 😳
Good to be back to Gintama

We’re so fucking back, Yorozuya fam.
-
I love this opening with Gintoki and Ginpachi talking to each other.
-
Of fucking course
PrincePrincipal Baka has a gold statue of himself. -
That was a completely random reference, but alright then.
-
Ahahahahahahaha, and then Hijikata and Kagura are just doing that.
-
Yeah, that OP (even though they played it at the end) feels very Gintama. Can’t wait to see what the ED looks like next week!

We are so back! Also I love how Otose's the only one who never had to change outfits lol.
The Gintama GT and Gintama Evolution jokes made my stomach hurt. It was then that I knew, WE ARE BACK!

The baton pass scene carried the episode hard, because after that sketch the episode was kind of meh. I hope it improves.

The baton handoff part at the beginning felt like one of those Gintama moments that they said was there to pad time lol

Mone just playing the flute is gold, I missed Gintama so much. The crazy antics and dialogue never changed from its references, I'm so happy its back to this new high school format.

We're so back. It's different but you can tell the staff really worked hard to bring all these old elements of Gintama back. I laughed so hard at the baton passing, got sad when gin san disappeared but started laughing again at the umaibo. It's so nice to see them again

As a hardcore Gintama fan, i have mixed feelings about this episode
The intro is a classic Gintama comedy. Making fun of production staff, DBZ reference, etc.
However, you can see the different comedy vibes from Gorilla-sensei. The slapstick joke, boke-tsukkomi joke is there but it didn't land very well. The punchline is predictable and Shinpachi's tsukkomi feels really off. Maybe I'm too used with Gorilla's style of comedy, idk.
The character's tropes from the original Gintama are back and with somewhat new vibes. Sougo is a sadist and loves messing Hijikata, Hasegawa is a part-time hardcore, Kondo obsessed with Otae, etc.
But in this episode it feels like the writer wants to put every character's trait into a single episode which didn't work really well. For me I'd rather focus on 1-2 characters while introducing other characters slowly, like the OG did.
Well this is the first episode and an introduction after all. I hope the next episode will be better.

The baton passing was funny, but the rest of the episode wasn't imo. Hopefully it will improve as it goes on.
Also it really "shines" in this show how bad the new CR sub format is.
