Episode 53 – Hideaki Of The Jungle

So this is what it is like when we cover the manga exclusively. Feels a bit different. On this episode we go over chapter 442 of the Gintama manga. Next time on the podcast, we will be doing another Countdown episode. We decided that it would make sense to do our top 10 openings of the anime since we already did our top endings. So, there you go. If you want to send a list of your favorite openings, this chapter or anything else, send us an email over at GintamaPodcast@gmail.com.
