it's definietly worth seeing ;) Sometimes so absurd... It has no main plot but characters' personalities are so outstanding that it makes up for it. And though it's more comedy than anything else, watching it we can see beauty of friendship... Gin is always pretending to have no interest in anything at all, but in the important moments he shows that he's got a heart of real samurai. Shinsengumi is also unreplaceable institution of lone wolfs in this amine, without them it'd be so much boring.
I'd love to see more episodes in type of Benizakura Arc but sadly Gintama ended in March... I hope that it's only temporiary and someday I'll see it on air again! but by the time being... let's read manga :)
