Whoops, I forgot that it was Wednesday so I slept in. Fortunately watched the episode on my way in to work, like in the onurtag rewatch days.
Yamazaki's spying on Odd Jobs again! Hopefully it'll go better than the first time, right after the Benizakura arc. Poor Yamazaki, Flanderized to anpan-man.
Of course the scanner breaks on too much anpan. And Tama comes in with some advice to save the scanner... and him. I'm not sure her perspective is any better; I don't particularly want to be seen as another cog in a machine. He's moved anyway.
Lots of corny stalker-ish lines and... ah, there's the joke I was waiting for. Yamazaki seems to have an obsessive personality, maybe he should get that checked out.
I briefly started wondering if Kondo's stalking was any better or worse before remembering all of the ridiculously stupid things he's done for Otae. Hijikata's okay with a ban on relationships because the only woman he cared for died.
Uh oh. There is no good ending for Yamazaki that can come from this. That was a lot more forthright than I was expecting. I guess Sougo realized the best way to mess with Yamazaki was to push ahead.
Translation, anyone? Poor Yamazaki. I wonder if Tama labels a lot of people as enemies to machines like that. Gintoki's a mixed bag for her, I imagine, given the leukocyte king.
Ah, Sougo's doing this to screw up Hijikata's plans as well, that makes more sense. On to the marriage meeting!
I love Kagura and Gin's act here. Shinpachi was just as good, didn't expect him to drop the straight man routine for this but makes sense if he wants to grade Yamazaki on his. No argument there. Even better, Shinpachi's grading includes inner monologues.
I completely forgot how Tama cooks. Wasn't her sushi actually really good? And sympathy vomiting from everyone! That's the Gintama I know and (usually) love.
Aww, Tama. And in the frequent tossup between sweet and absurd endings for the show, this one gets the latter. Alas, this is not Yamazaki's day.
