Weirdly I feel like I liked him more in the movie than here (even though I'm pretty sure this was filmed later) - he seemed a little stiff to me at times, but he got the character down-pat otherwise so I was pretty satisfied. Yagira Yuuya also gets to shine here as Hijikata aka our favourite grouchy but ultimately sincere vice-commander. Thank god for this Sougo-eccentric story because Yoshishizawa Ryo still blows me away, I can't get over how well he portrays him especially in the more emotional scenes. Okita Sougo is the main character here, and you get to see the usually deadpan shit-head show a softer side towards his sister. Oguri Shun basically brings our fave slack yet caring protagonist Gintoki to life, and Nakamura Kankuro makes the most out of Kondou's rather brief appearance. Shout-out to Mitsuba (the center of this story) and Yamazaki who only appear in this drama and not the movie - I think their actors did well enough. I'll focus on the two mains - Sougo and Hijikata, who get to shine here compared to the movie - but generally everyone else did a mostly good job at their characters.

(Also feel free to skip the entire opening segment with Elizabeth, Takeichi and Gengai in Episode 1, it's really unfunny and pointless imo.) For fans curious about any changes, there's some cuts in content but no big changes. The quality of the episodes feels lackluster at times but it's only a webdrama so nothing surprising.

There's some bouts of comedy especially in Episode 1 (including some hilarious drama-original lines from Gintoki when he shows off as Sougo's ~good friend~), but it's mostly a serious series - not a unique feelsy story but still a good feelsy story nevertheless. I love the story mostly for the character exposition as well as the relationship between Mitsuba/Sougo. Fans will appreciate it more since they have a better understanding of the characters, especially Okita Sougo and Hijikata Toushirou. The plot alone is enjoyable enough but nothing amazing. Not a whole lot to it since 1) it's something more for the fans than new viewers, and 2) the point of the webdrama was to promote the movie. I will take new viewers into account (though I'm guessing mostly fans will be watching this haha). Rewatch Value 5.5 A short simple webdrama - nothing fantastic but I still enjoyed it! I finished this after I saw the movie but you can watch them in any order fyi - their stories aren't connected to each other.
