s02e26 — Period.

Everything is very bad.
Almost all reviews begin with this phrase, and I cannot be an exception, no matter how much I would like to do otherwise. If the first season had a certain novelty of a newly discovered fandom, the presence of these same school turmoil (romance), then there was nothing in the second. The situations from the first season are completely secondary, there are a lot of outdated jokes, and there are a lot of completely boring episodes. I was tormented by the question – where does the high rating of Americans come from? The second season is very full of references and parodies of old anime that were shown on TV in America, but are not at all known in Russia.
That's why I love Gintama – they have amazing absurd humor and a lot of deep drama. Comedy arcs alternate with dramatic ones, allowing you to feel the characters and take a break from the sad. There was too little drama in the Commotion. In the second season, it was at most two or three episodes, and these were the most interesting episodes of the season, for which he received a "good" rating from me. I really liked Harima, I really liked what he started with Eiri and Yakumo. But Tenma just infuriated me, and the severe drug addiction that began at the end of the second season turned the romantic comedy into fiction and absurdity. By the way, fiction flashes in many moments, reading Yakumo's thoughts, Karasuma's riddles.
The verdict is a dumpster. The comedy is too flat, the romance is too rotten, the fiction is inappropriate, the characters were used and thrown away – more than one interesting plot beginning did not receive an adequate continuation (I'm not saying the end).
I want to find a fan of this fandom and make them explain to me – why do you love it?
