Like any long running series, Gintama is prone to its ups and downs. This minor arc is a good example of a step down from the usual standard. It was clumsy, starchy and despite featuring my favourite and frequently underused female character, Sa-chan, borderline dull. This kinda surprised me, I have to say.
I think the major problem with the story was that the characters were acting outside of themselves. Sarutobi is a straightforward obsessive stalker of Gintoki, yet when she changed her fixation from Gintoki to the glasses he had brought her, she lost everything that made her such a brilliant character. I was rendered completely bored.
Please get it together Gintama!
Verdict: Average
