Gintama has won many hearts with his humorous and charismatic manner. And Gintama's second film had it all again.
The lovable and personable characters, the music, the stupid ingenious humor, and the wonderful urge to parody everything possible.
I can't deny it, the film got off to a very strong start. The characters and the quality of the humor have been worthy of the series.
Again, this film tried to be extremely serious from the middle and presented a mediocre plot. Gintama can't just stop doing it.
As you already know, Gintama is practically unbeatable when it comes to comedy interludes. Gintama is also probably one of the few anime in which practically every character is noteworthy, individual, and "really" personable. But Gintama also has a downside. It is that this anime is ENORMOUSLY melodramatic. And here the obsessive attempt is made to tell the viewer how serious and sad a situation is, which in turn undermines this situation.
And here too it was the case. The first half of the film was brilliantly amusing, whereas the second half had practically no joke (apart from the closing gag with Shinpachi) and only offered mediocre action.
The whole plot had little real context to the anime itself and should have been used entirely as a joke.
The film was very above average and quite appealing to the eye in of animation and music.
In general, I can definitely recommend the film, especially to Gintama fans. In of implementation, the film is, unfortunately, nothing special and was kept by its solid first half.
