This was the shortest of the Gintama Arcs but it actually packs a lot in for 13 episodes. There are 3 main Arcs and few one-shot episodes. Of the Arcs, the first is alright, the second was outstanding and the third decent. There's backstory and a lot of action. The downside is that the humour takes a bit of a backseat but it still made me chuckle and at least at one point cry which is pretty good for such a short arc. It also really benefits from having more budget than the original season. Overall this is a really good addition to the Gintamaseries, and sets up the next Season nicely.
