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

- TriviaMuch of the show is based on Japanese culture/history, which made dubbing the show in English near-impossible until around 2016, when people were familiar enough with the show's jokes/references that a dub could work out.
