Lol, episode 75 is a recap episode because they blew the budget on episode 74. Guess thats why it was so good. Gintama even has the power to produce amazing recap episodes!

They have budget's per episode and they spent twice as much on one of the episodes so they didn't have enough to produce a good, new one after it. So they added one or two new scenes to the recap episode that they were forced to do, then just recycled a ton of footage so it didn't cost any money. It's still hilarious though. First they mixed around the opening, so they had to play it twice. Then Gin, Kagura and Shinpachi started doing commentary from the beginning of the series, but realised it would take way too long so they just played a load of clips from old episodes with some music, like an AMV. Then they started dubbing different characters voices, which was hilarious. Prince Hata, the big fat majin buu like guy dubbed Takasugi's (the main villain) ultra serious part and it just turned it into a comedy part straight away. Then they played a trailer for a movie version of the Benizakura arc due to the fan's demand, but announced that it was fake at the end. They just recycled everything, but it was still like a new episode. It's excellent!![]()
Have you got to the sukiyaki pot episode yet? I think it's episode 25. That's one of my favourite episodes out of the entire series, and the Death Note references in there are just insane!
Another episode to look out for is 79, well I think it's 79. Gin-san and three others (I won't say who) get trapped in four different toilet cubicles with no toilet paper, then one of the people trapped in the toilet happens to have sandpaper on him. Then theres an epic mind war over who can use the sandpaper to trick the others, and who will actually be able to use it for themselves. That is one of the funniest episodes I have ever seen of anything, ever!
He's based on the actual vice captain of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Toshizo, who's appearence was similar to how he looks in Gintama. I've seen a few other animes which portray Hijikata Toshizo as well, and they all look alike. None of the characters are drawn to look like characters from other animes, only too look similar to the historical figures they're actually based on.
Also, episode 50 probably has the most references. At one part they parody Dragon Ball Z, Bleach and One Piece all at the same time and come up with a new movie called "DragonBleachPiece" featuring all of the Gintama characters. It's hilarious.![]()
