Every anime has it's funny, even hilarious moments. But not many are built around these moments. Gintama, for the most part definitely is.

This anime is completely insane. It's full of random hilarity and antics, while still maintaining a storyline (per episode and arcs). You don't even have to worry about fillers, because you won't know when they hit you, as there is no general plot. Plus, the fillers are just as funny and awesome as the other episodes, if not more. There are tons of references to anime and Japanese culture, which is kind of a down side for a person who isn't familiar with either or both. This reason also makes this anime almost impossible to dub and very hard to even sub! However, if you do get the jokes (and not all of them are reference related), you'll be in tears. It's not all just laughter though. There are definitely some heart touching, throat lump forming, beautiful moments in the anime too (though not as much).

All I can say is, if you're an anime fan and haven't watched it, you're doing yourself a big crime by missing this one. As the title says, I not only class this as one of the greatest anime, or even one of the greatest TV shows, but one of the most brilliant pieces of entertainment mankind has ever created.

I absolutely 100% recommend everyone to watch it from the very start and please ignore the image quality, before you know it you will love the show so much it won't matter and then the quality gets much better in 2015 and 2017 releases. An anime that suits almost everyone..great comedy, tons of parodies, very likable characters, great action and fights, very heart warming at times...just about everything you could think of!

I've been watching TV shows, anime and movies for a very long time and i have watched shows like Seinfeld, How i Met your Mother, Friends, Curb your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, Two and a half men, and many more. However, after watching Gintama, i have to say that this show is better than any other comedy show i have ever seen. The jokes are done so brilliantly that it legitimately makes you laugh out loud. Furthermore, every single character has been given a persona which suits their personality so incredibly well. The best part of the show is that each character is treated as they are the main character. If one of them doesn't show up for some time, you'll start to miss them.

This is just the comedy part though, when the show gets serious - boy it gets serious. It's like you're transported into a completely different anime. The action scenes are so fluent and so perfectly crafted that you will be at the edge of your seat the entire time. These action arcs last for about 2 to 5 episodes - they have a beginning, a mid-point, and an end. They aren't dragged like most anime. Each serious or action arc of the show highlights the characters and provide hindsight in their lives, allowing viewers to know them better.

This emotional connection with the characters is what's missing in most action movies, TV shows and anime but in Gintama, it's remarkably well done. Also, there's a balance between comedy and action, so you won't be stuck in one genre the entire time.

I had my reservations about watching Gintama, especially after watching the first few episodes. However, when I got through them, the show started to get a whole lot funnier and better. It seems that writer wasn't too confident in his work in the beginning but when he started to see how well his work can be, he started to take risks and came up with some of the best comedy and action arcs that I've ever seen.

Having watched a ton of TV shows, movies, and anime - I have to say that Gintama is (and probably will be) the best piece of entertainment I've watched in my whole life.

I rarely laugh aloud when watching comedic shows, especially anime. Gintama can get me laughing for an entire episode! The humor only gets better as you go along, as you need to get to know the characters to appreciate the jokes/jibes fully. And then all of a sudden a serious arc slaps you in the face with nonstop action and cliffhanger episodes. Gintama is 70% humor and 30% Hunter x Hunter level action (for you shounen anime fans, I think you can recognize that high level compliment.) It just makes the action scenes that much more worth it and exciting when you get there. Not to mention the "serious arcs" somehow get even more intense and well animated the further you get, too. I'm SO happy I gave this one a try!

I'm not anime veteran (I've seen only few dozens titles), I'm not Japanese, I haven't read manga, but I'm still able to enjoy Gintama anime. And enjoy it a lot. Perfect drama / comedy ratio for satirical show keeps me watching one episode after another. Arcs are mostly short, condensed and even recaps for them are really refreshing. I know it is almost impossible to sub/dub this thing (without or even with comments) but people make a great things great and even I could understand most of the puns / jokes. And there is a lot, even in one sentence. That's Gintama for you :D. And now for really technical review: - Story: None - or almost none. There's some background, but it's irrelevant in most cases. It's slowly revealed in some arcs. What could you expect from satire / comedy? - Characters: Awesome - as one of the episodes claims - there isn't one main character - and it's actually true. Fact: Gin-san is most recognizable but most of the episodes doesn't revolve around him. There are a lot of multi-dimensional characters, which makes this anime working. - Visualization: You cannot predict what would be presented to you in the next episode. It could be standard slow paced animation (even some stills), CGI/3D saturated picture or even live action. - Music - It is well paced, suitable. Some pieces are borrowed / covered, but still epic (i.e. Madao send from DMC4). Overall: I could recommend this for all anime fans. It could be hard to watch for inexperienced watchers, which could not understand some of the references / digs (like me), but I am sure they'll have a lot of fun watching this. PS. This is my first review after ~2k watched movies/series and about the same or even more review - so be gentle, please. PS2. English is not my first language, so I apologize for any mishaps. PS3: I''m really disappointed by so few reviews on Gintama. PS4. Watch Gintama: it's awesome

This show engrosses you into its settings, themes, and characters so much that it becomes more than just a comedy. This anime got me near tears more than anything I have every experienced from both comedy and emotional moments. On top of that, this show has the two best shonen arcs to ever exist. This anime might take a while to get in to, but it is more than worth the commitment.

Man, this is true art! You want emotions? This anime got em. God, I love gintama. (Kintama too)

I can't stop watching this show! It's just too good. It's got action, romance, and most of all comedy!! At first it starts off pretty slow but, it gets funnier the deeper you get into the show. Just watch it you won't regret it!!!!! Just do it!!!

I watched this anime Iast year, expecting to get a light story. I didn't know that I was about to meet a piece of jewelry. It's hard to explain what Gintama is about. It can be describe as a comedy, shonen and slice of life. If you watch the first 50 episodes only, you will probable think this is a comedy. But you'll be wrong. It's much more than that. It's not the classic shonen, our protagonist Gintoki, doesn't have (and need) power ups. He's lazy and dumb. Character development is incredible. Don't expect to get one-dimensional characters, especially on Gintoki's side. Gintama is very "similar" to life: It has funny moments, tragic moments. Funny and dumb people being serious, serious people being funny and dumb.

Epic What can I say more than that the only thing that make laugh And cry and extremely excited best of all time.

I've watched a lot of things in my life from TV, anime and movies and yet, nothing has come close to Gintama.

Gintama is an anime series from 2006 and it offers everything I could ask for. Comedy? It's in Gintama. Good characters? It's in Gintama. You want something that'll make you cry? Gintama. You want something hype? Gintama.

Gintama is able to balance many different atmosphere's, genres and themes while always feeling the same at heart which from personal experience, is something a lot of other things in fiction fail to achieve. In my opinion, Gintama is a special series because it's able to appeal to everyone in a really unique and memorable. It's my favorite thing in all of fiction by a comfortable margin and this series is genuinely incredible.

Don't know why it has 8.6 rating being better than most of the animes out there. It's has a mix of comedy as well as epic fight sequences and arcs with some very emotional touch. Highly recommended. Do watch it, have some patience and give it some time it will not be unworthy of your time!

Goofy, sad, dumb, inspirational, funny... its the anime where you can laugh the most if you are dumb or you are really smart. Its not really for mediocre people who can't laugh at dick jokes, or won't be informed enough to understand that dick joke was a reference to another anime. It can be whole lot of absurd, or have really deep storylines/arcs but its the comedy that keeps this story alive.

If you wanna start watching this, my advice is to start watching it from the 3rd episode. You can watch the movies (anime/live action), after finishing the whole thing. There are no ovas or extra stories so far so just follow up through the episode list. After the 150ish episodes you can watch the first two episodes. Those were just promotional episodes to make the manga popular, and to see if anybody would watch the anime. They are not really related to plot, other than introducing a bunch of characters really quickly, so you should be good, not watching it at all.

If you decided to watch it, welcome to the strawberry milk drinkers club! You will regret this decision soon enough after the serious arcs! (totally not writing this with a half a liter strawberry milk bottle in my hand, right after finishing this series a 153486th time)

The voice acting in this anime is so good that the characters feel almost real. Plus the comedy in it is better than any sitcom that you can think of. I my opinion, Gintama is much better than the Big three animes( Naruto, One Piece and Bleach.)

I mean, it's freaking gintama, if you watched you know what i'm talking about

This anime is the funniest show ever created - not even the simpsons, south park and Family guy combined would have 1/3 of the funniness of this series.

It doesn't have an overall plot - but as a comedy series it doesn't need one - and there are a lot of longer stories which serve to give you spledid action and emotion.

But what makes this series really epic is the fact that it manages to stay funny for every minute of every of the over 250 episodes! At some episodes you simply cant stop to laugh - not for one single second - And this despite the fact that many of the references are aimed for a Japanese audience.

But even without getting all the Japan- related jokes one still has to watch out not to die from laughter! I would give this show a 11 or 12 or 15 out of 10 if I could!

Gintama is literally the definition of a hidden gem , the best of shounen in my opinion. I was one of those people that only watched mainstream series or animes but this show made me realize that even unpopular shows can be amazing, i feel bad that i was watching all popular stuff and wasn t paying attention to gintama even tho i was seeing those really good reviews. Now after seeing gintama i gotta say it s my favorite tv show ever (i ve watched like 150 animes and like 100 tv shows). It may be hard to start gintama since at the beggining it may be this plotless random anime but please give it a chance i promise it will not dissapoint ! It has the most real cast i ve ever seen in all anime , the characters feel so real and you attach to them instantly. I ve watched Naruto , Bleach and all popular shounens like jjk or demon slayer but Gintama is easily better in my heart, all i have left now is watch one piece while it may be an amazing show i doubt it will be as great as this anime called Gintama. If there are 1000 gintama fans i m one of them.

I don't know. I can't figure out why people love Gintama so much. Between its annoying characters, campy humor, and endless toilet jokes, Gintama is the worst anime series that I have ever seen. And out of the dozens that I have watched by now (maybe even hundreds), that is saying a lot.

To start off with, you have the humor. Unless you are thoroughly steeped in Japanese culture, you are not going to get it; it will pass straight by your head. The characters are quite idiotic, and don't even THINK about watching this while eating unless you enjoy the taste and the feel of vomiting. The series has so many jokes about faeces, vomit, and snot that it is overwhelming.

And it just goes on and on and on; if you watch, say, 4 episodes a day, it will take you over 100 days to put this series behind you. Why did they make so many of them? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever for them to pump out that many episodes when it isn't even good, and that doesn't even include the movies.

I didn't like One Piece, either - but I would actually RECOMMEND watching One Piece over Gintama any day. Avoid this series!

This anime is great in every aspect . funniest anime by far , has some of the greatest fights ever ,so many awesome characters which all have their own style, great story , so many great OST's . there are only 3 shows in anime that i can call godtier this one is one of them for sure and I have seen allot of them.

It's nothing like your regular anime but it's one of the most relatable and unconventional protagonist .if you've watched 367 eps and two movies then you know what's the meaning Of real Gintama. No other Anime can even try to match this Anime's aura.
