well when i see this first episode, im really" boring watch gintama. not only first episode i think, i dont know why but i cant take their joke. Well, im boring but i try my best to watch this because many people say gintama is funny and cool, or they say "THIS IS LAGEND!"
then after i watch 20 eps (forget what episode), i think i'm already can take their joke and make me not that boring like before.
its really funny and make me laugh and cry the same time. and i must say this anime its not only funny, but really cool when gintoki and gank going to fight someone. its really badass and i cant sleep when im already watch their fighting moment until its done.
i must say this, many spinoff episode from eps 1 until eps 200, i mean eps 1-200 is eps to show the funny" moment, but show action too but its just a little episode.
then from 200 until eps 300 the detail main story begun and its about gintoki past, enemy, and fighting moment. but still there is funny moment too in eps 200-300. and first i dont think i can cry because of sad from this anime, but i was wrong when i watching eps 200-300 (forget start from where eps). its not comedy anymore LOL. its become a serious action i think.
and then after i watch all episode, i can say "I'M NOT REGRET FOR DOWNLOADING AND WATCHING GINTAMA, SO I'M NOT WASTING TIME IN MY LIFE! LOL!!!"
and actually i'm waiting next season and cant wait their final war with gintoki master (ooppss).
and after im watch gintoki, i dont feel like want to watch another anime except the same genre like GINTAMA '-')
im really" feel like that and i cant fine others anime like gintama, so its make me like an idiot playing with my mouse scroll and cant watch anything '-')

and still until now i cant stop thinking how badass GINTAMA main story! and many funny moment still rolling in my brain !
really, just watch it guys so u guys know what i feel right now ! T_T (show less)

Gintama is the greatest. Really amazing & original stories. The comical parts are really hilarious & the serious parts are very intense. The animation is stunning & the voice acting is outstanding. Every aspect of the show is high quality. I was so exited when it came back on the air & I really look forward to watching it every week. Sorachi sensei is my idol. I love him & I hope he keeps on writing more great stories. They are all special to me & touch my heart in just the right place. I highly recommend this show. Watch the show & read the manga too. It will make you feel good. Shiawase!!! (show less)

When I first started watching Gintama, I was only expecting it to be a gag anime with a lot of jokes. However, I was soon proved to be wrong. It has a lot of comedy (probably the best of all animes), but what stands out is the way the show transits from comedy to some other genre (such as action or tragedy) and that too, flawlessly. This show has some of the best action scenes compared to all other shonens, not to mention some pretty wacky songs, mesmerizing dialogues and some truly memorable story-lines. This is a must-watch for all anime fans!

My rating: 5/5 (show less)

Stupidity is really contagious,i guess...Gintama is a rare shounen,no goals and dreamy things like Naruto,Death Note,One Piece & Bleach but still this anime deserve to make more episode because they really struck my heart..what anime can really do like all those things?Only in Gintama,those things happened.Only Gintama can do parody for other anime. Honestly,i already heard about this anime long time ago,but don't know what kind of anime it is so,i don't really took much attention for this anime back then..but i have to say now whenever i'm boring,angry,sad,take a rest,before sleep,after school or give up for watching animes..i'll watch Gintama again to regain my interest back,.with Gintama,i really can laugh and enjoying my life now,.it really relaxing my mind but yeah..stupidity is really contagious..I'm waiting in April 2015... Watch out! maybe this show is really funny and hilarious but they will be serious and more complicated issues will happen,for now go read manga..both are equally good quality,if you read manga you will more excited to watch its animation then..For Beginner,starts with anime and then read manga..Both are good,okay this is my longest review..for gintama i really spirit up! All hail Gorilla-san a.k.a Sorachi-sensei..I loves all the characters and the arcs you have create until now :D (show less)
