It's lovable BECAUSE of the slow start. Their depth comes from spending so much time with them. People aren't always fun, people are boring, people are stupid and annoying. But you keep going back for their charm and kindness and the same stupidity in them that you see in yourself. You Connect with them. Their problems become yours and their successes become yours. Gintama characters are so close to my heart because they feel so human. I can't idolize them, I can only look over them. That's also why they're so unforgettable. They aren't 2 dimensional because their stories aren't rushed. It's not easy to accomplish this for a storyteller.

Ngl, I'm crying reading your comment. I'm so weird. It's just that you described Gintama to its core. All that boring stuff in the first 50 or 100 episodes are the stuff you'll miss and actually treasure. Sorachi wrote Gintama to be like a universe you get into and be with family, not as characters you analyze and fawn over. The characters you hold hands with through thick and thin, to laugh and cry with. And I'm crying because Gintama ended. After watching the movie, the ending finally being real. It still hurts but just like the ending, they will always be there.

I have my fun tring to convince my brother to start watching. I can't believe the fact he rejects my offer. My experience with gintama has changed my perspective for fun. I find my self laughting and enjoing life more now. I think that the lessons from GINPACHI sensei is real!My advice is to try finding the best anime ever but you now know where to! Good luck finding your best character in Gintama! Mine is: Saitou Shimaru! You must watch 293 eps to find him.

The thing I love most about Gintama is that unlike most shonen anime, it’s not about Gintoki growing stronger to reach his goal. He’s already fought his fight and walked his walk. Gintama is about Gintoki sticking to his ideals even under the harshest circumstances, it’s about the Yorozuya growing emotionally, not physically, and it’s about helping other people to grow. It’s Seinen in a way that very few seinen are; if you have a shonen protagonist who’s a shonen, they have to grow up and become a seinen at some point, and Gintoki is that guy. He’s the matured but still goofy shonen protagonist who went through all the highs and lows, and instead of finishing his arc and going off to live happily ever after he sticks around and helps others, even when sometimes he isn’t the main protagonist of his world.

"It's not like Luffy that wants to be a pirate king, or Naruto to be a hokage. If you strip off the goals- we're all just lazy bums in the inside. That's Gintoki. That's what Gintama is about, just living through life." - Hideoaki Sorachi (Author of Gintama who wants to be a *cheese bun* ) lol I remember there's a bit of existential crisis before that. Something along the lines of: "What if you don't have a goal? what's next? What if you achieved your goal?" I felt calm when I remember those words cause I'm kinda lost without any personal goals in life. So I wish I'd known that 5 years earlier. Anyways, this is my own take: Gintama is an anime (or manga) you enjoy in your own pace, cozy yourself up and trust me, even for just 24 mins- I hope you feel whatever the episode is about. It's honestly funnier if you get the references, even if you don't, you'll just know it's a reference to something and you'll laugh it off. If the meme goes "is that a Jojo reference?" well Gintama uses a *ton* of them. And most importantly- Gintama has a heart. I can't put into words but parodies aside, it's uplifting and positive and wholesome. I love Gintama. It's my (closeted) top 1 because my fellow otakus haven't really been hit by the feels (like seriously, the most feelings they got from an anime is Shield Hero and Anohana.) I don't think they're ready for *this* thing. I don't want them going "eh the animation's not that good" "not much fighting" and not notice the story. There's no point then :[ if they deny the weight of the stories, refuse to let loose- that attitude. It can't be helped. You'll be surprised by how many people don't want to feel genuinely good/happy... most are _horny_ So yeah Gintama is hella enjoyable. If I got an anime to watch my whole life, it's definitely gonna be Gintama. I judge fairly by enjoyment no matter how depressing or dramatic, as long as there's *something.* Berserk and Gintama are the only ones so far that reached my soul, that has *something.* I've been rewatching reaction videos about it (once in a while for almost 1 year) It's so much fun seeing them laugh at the start only to cry and suddenly laugh again. The embarrassment, anger, and confusion. It feels nice to let your emotions free and see other people like that ^^ Also I watched Gintama first before "Lives of Highschool Boys" and boiii was I laughing my ass off hearing the same voice actors!! Ah that's it, may you have a wonderful day and hopefully more people get into Gintama, cause they deserve the recognition honestly. From the manga, publishing house, Director, animators, sponsors, seiyuus- they all did their best keeping Gintama going from copyrights xD It's been really fun all 369 (nice) episodes +3 movies and other specials, love everything to bits.

You just nailed everything. Gintama became such a big part of my life, way bigger than any anime from my childhood. And honestly if it wasn't for the random barber shop and Otaku race episode I stumbled on that led me to binge Gintama 3-5 years later, I wouldn't have liked the show. My expectations were just to laugh my ass off every time but of course, Sorachi pulled the rug every time. Next thing I know, I found family in Gintama. It's weird, they're just characters, but reading the manga (after binging up to 315), waiting week after week, I found myself meeting up with friends every week. Seeing how they struggle, missing the time when they were just having fun and pestering others, and try to get those times back. Gintama has such a different goal than any shounen I've encountered, thus making it so relatable. Also, not saying people in other series and franchises didn't have the same passion, but I just felt it so much in Gintama. Changing from print to digital platform, making the final move AND the semi final, 2 live actions, I just feel the love from everyone who worked for it...when Gintama could've been cut short or skipped tons of arcs. There are tons of top-god tier written animes out there but Gintama will forever be in my heart. It just hits different.

"If Gintama is ass, tell the fan it's ass" absolutely correct. The only one watching gintama in my community are me and 2 of my friends, and it's been our no1 anime for 6 years. Whenever someone ask why we always rate Gintama higher than anything else in any season we're just like "we may like the story, premise, ost, animation, va, or anything. But character-wise, we can't help but think otherwise. The effect of watching Gintama is your standards for characters got so high you can't easily find one you like. If you do find a character you like, the anime will most likely have a bad story in general. It's hard finding something that's good all-around. While Gintama may not the best in every aspect except their characters, it definitely not far off. And most importantly is the fanbase. You wouldn't get anything that puts you off the anime like any other. You feel the anime boring? Yeah sorry, maybe it's not your kind of humor. People fighting over whose the most op protag? Nah our protag will most likely died to diabetes first. Whose the best heroine? Definitely not kagura" then if they ask is it worth watching then the answer is always the same "Gintama isn't anime for everyone. It takes patience, dedication, and focus. If you think you're up for it then go ahead". It is such an amazing anime that I know I'll always love and will always be my no 1 no matter for how long it is
@selinbuyukcengiz6873

I kinda agree but I do think Kagura is the best heroine, she is cute, she is strong, she is funny and serious when she wants to be. Since shonen manga is written for boys it usually lacks realistic heroines; they are always blank or two dimensional, they only serve to the hero's plot, they have to be very feminine and hot. They are generally really bad at writing women, and if you say that she is not a traditional heroine, you are right, but that is exactly why she is great. Kagura is a very well written girl, so I think it is important to point it out.

I also have been a Gintama fan since around 2013, and one more big point is that maybe the shows references get outdated and irrelevant the more time passes. I get the jokes because I was up to date with older anime/mangas at the time, so it would always get me when they made fun of a trope in those series, or referenced that sort of thing, but it might be harder to enjoy the show if the half of the jokes fly past you.

Gintama is a series that works best with fan subs. Official subs don't care enough to explains the puns, and Japanese (non-anime) pop culture references and as a result some really cleaver and funny moments, can go entirely over the audiences heads. Some jokes can get by off absurdity, but many need that extra bit of care fan subs provide as you wouldn't even realize they were there otherwise. Even if you know Japanese, unless you grew up in 80s/90s Japan or that area is a special interest to you. Fan subs are basically a must.

Learning about Gintoki’s past and learning he was just a guy living in the moment, was given a purpose in life with the people who brought themselves into his life and made him, Gintoki. All those characters impacted Gintoki, and Gintoki impacted everyone around him and in the real world with his inspirational quotes and ideals. Truly a great character in anime

Tbh, I got invested in Gintama much earlier. I think that the earlier episodes were significantly weaker, however, there were episodes early on that had things that grabbed me. For instance, the "ghost hunting" episode is quoted as being one of the funnier early episodes, episode 13, which introduced the Harasume and showed how deep the bond between the main trio went when they'd been together for so little time was amazing, episode 17 introduced Takasugi. In that moment, you know that he's not only important but he and Gintoki have a long tragic past between them. And around 40 episodes in, the arc that focused on Kagura. This arc isn't often mentioned that much, but it developed Kagura, Gintoki and Umibozu very well as well as setting up Kagura's entire arc throughout the series in no more than 3-4 episodes. Not to mention the episode that one underground fighter who was raising orphans, the absolutely hilarious chaotic episode that followed it, and the snow sculpting one. Gintama is a very subtle, slow and different series from most shounen. It does take time to get good. I only started viewing it as one of my top anime after the Courtesan of a Nation arc around about episode 250, and then my #1 anime after the SA and FS arcs (ep 300-316). It did take a while, but before these arcs, it was definitely one of the most fun series I'd ever watched, and that was enough for me. I legitimately enjoyed it WITHOUT the deep philosophic themes and plots that came later, and the fact that it managed to pull of both that fun comedic atmosphere and balance it with the emotional depth that comes in its more serious arcs is what makes Gintama so special. Truly not just one of the best anime of all time, but TV shows in general.

Yeah, people say it gets good by the Benizakura arc but it actually doesn't take that long to get good, like you said, Gintama drops small hints that there is a larger, overarching plot encompassing all the goofy characters we see interact, and that it is heading somewhere though very slowly and taking it's sweet time (even if Gorilla-sensei says that he didn't have an idea)

Literally just watched the final movie like a few days ago and this video perfectly encapsulates how I felt about early Gintama vs towards the end. Gintama hits so fuckin hard because it’s a show that DEMANDS time investment since it takes its time to make you care about each and every single character, and it definitely made me stagnate with the show, but believe me when I say I wish I could erase my memory and watch it all over again. As someone who was an avid naruto/dbz fan thru my childhood, as an adult I can happily say Gintama is the greatest piece of media (not just anime) I have EVER experienced. Awesome video, def earned a new sub

Out of all the anime's and even the big 3, gintama is prob the best or one of the best. Cause of how every character has a character arc, and each ep was gold even the fillers, and it had some realistic moments that you'll never expect from a comedy anime, also it's the best comedy anime I've ever seen as well (I watched saikiki and many more comedies). Also the first 50 ep are world building witch is important, but as soon as you surpass ep 50 it gets funnier and better. Also Gintama gives you life lessons in quotes, episodes or in characters and there backstory, also might be the only anime will make you cry lol.

''Out of all the anime's and even the big 3, gintama is prob the best or one of the best'' .... NO, no its not. That's your opinion, not a fact. In terms of rating in some sites maybe yes, but fan's ratings are not everything. In terms of manga sales, Gintama is not even in the top 30.. Even Fairytail surpasses it. Does that mean Fairytail is better..? Of course not. But as stupid as this claim is, so much stupid is the thing you said. (because aside from ratings in only certain sites, there is no other indicator that Gintama is better, or close to be the best in general, from all other anime..) Of course that doesn't mean that someone can't love it more than anything else, or that it is wrong/ illogical to do so.. Everything else you said (except from comedy), about characters having their arcs, some fillers being good, having realistic moments, having life lessons, making you cry... all these together can be found in plenty other anime.. Gintama most certainly does not have the monopolio in them. Even in the video you just watched (GTO) and in your fuc@#%ing avatar (BLEACH) you can find such examples.. In terms of comedy in long anime, Gintama is definately the best, but only because there is not another one like it, that is based mainly on making people laugh (except maybe from some more childish anime..) You can absolutely find 12/24 episode anime that can leave you to tears from laughing. Gintama provides just a greater number of episodes filled with comedy. Its just plain wrong to compare Gintama with anime like Golden boy and to claim that the first is better, just because it has more episodes with comedy..

I have been watching/reading Gintama since Yoshiwara in Flames had just finished being animated. I admittedly struggle with the beginning as well. When they animated the season with the Shogun Assasination arc I was worried no one would watch it at it's absolute best. It ended up being the thing everyone found interest in. So many people watched it expecting serious Shonen and burnt out. However! It still draws people into it. You stuck with it because of the later parts. You have no idea how impossible it was to convince anyone to watch it. I am so glad that more people watch it now. I am so glad some people have watched it through and it's getting a wider crowd. Sorachi is an amazing mangaka and made me laugh, cry, and laugh again in the span of one episode.

I also put this anime back a few times in the past because I never got the "priority" at the time. I mean, why would I watch 300+ episodes of an Anime? It's too much time, and I'm the type to immediately back off of long series back then because I don't like downloading episodes constantly. But then the pandemic happened.... So yeah, and I hate getting bored (Context: At the time, I have no interest in the shows at the time) so I'm like "Welp, might as well start this anime." (That's me after I watched a clip and got reminded of it again after a few years) And I would proudly say that it's the only good thing and decision I've ever made in my entire existence on this very earth. It's too d*mn unique in a lot of ways that I can't stop watching it. Personally, I didn't find the first 50+ episodes boring. But then again, that's preference. Anyway, it's a pretty fun anime that made these past years less boring than it already is. Probably the only anime where I am emotionally attached to it's characters. D*mn! They're like the friends we all wish we have. Where we can all have fun doing stupid sh*t but also have each other's back (and not at the same time). Of all the animes I've watched, this is the only Anime I wish I could forget to experience it again for the first time. And I think that says a lot about how good this anime is. I loved everything about it. Yes, even Gorilla-sensei. (Even though that f*cking son of a banana forget about Kirara x Shinpachi. I still resent him for that.) But anyway, I'd highly recommend this to anyone who ask for suggestions on me. Don't dare ask me why, 'coz all I say is "You'll have to see for yourself." 😊 Edit: Forgot to mention that I finished everything (Yes. *EVERYTHING!* ) the other week and I feel pretty empty after that. I'd say nothing can top Gintama in my list now. F*ck! And I usually prefer slice of life anime. Still waiting for Gorilla to make Gintama: Next Generations for some reason I'm pretty sure all of you can get the moment you finish reading this. 🤣

I'm one of the ones that got into Gintama early. I think the moment that I knew I was in for the long haul was was the Strawberry Milk speech in episode 11. On one level it was rather crass and humorous, but seemed to be layered with deeper meaning. Even then it was in a way telling you what Gintama was about: Good times, leading to pissing the bed, and having to just move forward with what can't be changed. We don't see what the big Pissing The Bed moment is for a few hundred episodes, but the bulk of the show is moving forward with glimpses of the lukewarm wetness that spread everywhere along the way.

I’ve seen a lot of people say start from the 3rd episode, or gntm only gets better after Benizakura etc. and I personally never felt that and that kind of made me understand why I love this series so much. I was undergoing a very severe depressive episode when I picked it up and only later realised that Gintoki was too. Just watching him do nothing important, complete extremely low stakes tasks and play pachinko and read jump and keep his kids alive was all I needed. His lack of motivation in a genre filled with over-eager, over-motivated kids spoke before his backstory did. I think people looking for the next great shounen miss that and that’s fine too. We all need and like different things at the different stages of our lives and maybe one day the beginning and how mundane it is will be exactly what you need.

I just loved it because i just saw it at TV when I was a little younger. I was never a weeb i was just enjoying Anime because of there own style with fantasy, comedy and much more it was no different to cartoon animation to me (I know it is different but at that time for me i just felt that way i know there were called Anime and it's a own thing but i was never such a ultimate weeb. I was just enjoying it and was not so deep in every community or something) in my childhood i experience many things that have a place in my heart like Naruto at the age of seven. Gintama was just so cool and funny for me, i came from school with bad feelings and Gintama put a smile on my face i love all about The samurai mythologie and more and it was just so beautiful. The characters the comedy the Realtalks. I was enjoying it at the very first episode because i just watched it from what it is because i didn't know that Gintama existed as i said i was never deep in that Anime thing. Don't get me wrong I love Anime just like a weeb but my whole life is not spinning around Anime i love many other things equally. I had my view favorites like Naruto, later HxH or.. Hold your breath.. Fairy tail (because once again i didn't was so deep at that Anime community thing i could just enjoy it because i loved it) later i heard about good Anime that i should watch from friends like AoT (Waht i did and it's one of my favorites ) but Gintama has this special place in my heard it just gave me good times (Like fairy tail in 2019)

Im one of the people that fell in love with the show on episode 1 - 2 back in 7th grade, that one hour special that some ppl reccomend to skip because its not the real beggining of the series. Im 28 years old now. There was just something that spoke to 13 year old me when you 1st see Gintoki being chased by a bunch of fodder where he suddenly stops and smirks like hes about to get into a big fight and then he just runs away again saying something like "Im not gonna do that chanbara crap!". Back then it was Gintoki himself that pulled me into the series and made me keep watching. I just thought he was so cool. The moment Takasugi was introduced made me really want to know Gintokis back story. But I stopped watching sometime after the Yagyu arc around high school. Not because i didnt like it anymore, i just stopped watching anime in general during that time in my life. I picked it back up around 2012 or 13 hoping to get more of Gintokis back story after not watching the show for years. I started to have more appreciation for characters I over looked when i was younger like Shinpachi, Madao, Kagura, Kondo, Yamazaki and the life lessons that came with the series really started hitting me in my early 20s. Gintama wasnt just a funny anime that had moments that got really cool with cool fight scenes anymore. It became a series that represented my very soul. Something to help remind me to walk my own path, follow my own code, and to always be myself regardless of how hectic the times can get.

It's also a big factor how you start it. If someone recommends it to you, you will automatically have a certain set of expectations that comes with disappointment. I didn't have that disappointment because I started the show on my own. I never had that "slow paced feeling" and even tho i didn't fully understand 100% of the jokes (because a lot of it is very based on the japanese language, history and culture and doesn'treally hit the same as a western), nor were all of them exceptionally funny (some of them were weird, but they had the charme of that certain weirdness), I never thought particularly bad about these.
