Is Gintama best comedy?
>>147431269
it's at least one of the most underrated ones out there.
Then again, how many people would give a show a chance of those 20 episodes for it to get really good?
>>147434426
>it's at least one of the most underrated ones out there.
>underrated
What? How can you even say that Gintama is underrated? It's more or less the most popular comedy anime out there?
Becomes stale due to its longelivity
Yes I've said it.
>>147434426
>most underrated
what fucking planet are you on
>>147431269
You spelled School Rumble wrong OP.
>>147434471
>>147434553
been lurking around /a/ and many other sites for a good decade, plus obviously listening to filthy normies and casual animu/mango consumers. Compared to the Jump's "big tree"/ the Death Note/ Attack On Titan / fucking Dragonball, it's nowhere to be seen. Even Nichijou enjoys more popularity as a comedy.
I recall seeing /a/ going nuts about the show back in late 00s, but never picked it up myself until just recently. Hadn't seen threads about the show in years!

What in ShigeShige's name did I just read
More like shitama
>>147434666
Checkd, also, check MAL, its the best rated and viewed anime
>>147434846
>check MAL
you really think I'm some summer new-friend, do you?
>>147434666
check'd
>>147434935
>calling gintama one of the most underrated animes
Yes, yes I do
>>147434935
>enjoying MALtama
Yeah definitely new
>>147434973
Not the other guy, but its highly "under rated" as in not watched enough, not talked enough, not popular enough.
Its well liked not discussed enough and not watched enough for sure. Compared to other anime of its size/age, at least in the overseas market.
>>147435100
And there's a magical place where you can discuss Gintama to your heart's content
>>>/mal/
Go there
>>147435100
Bamboozled again
>>147434973
You better start shilling for this series harder, in that case. Where the fuck where you in all those comedy threads? Why isn't this series ever mentioned in some top-10 listings? Why the living fuck has next to no "find a series 4 you" tests not including this series?
So yeah, it's underrated, and starting to disappear to history as we speak. I bet if you'd walk up to your HS' animu club elites, next to no one of them would even know what the show's about.
>>147435196
Yes they would
>>147435290
you got some high level clubs and consumers in general then.
>>147435167
You seem bit emotional friend. No one is asking for more Gintama discussion, but rather stating observations.
>>147431269
It's okay, it's jokes are very hit and miss and it's also been going way too long. There's some solid laughs to be had but a lot of boring shit in-between. Nowhere near the best but maybe it could eek into a top 20.
Hell I think Bobo-bo does the same humor but better because it commits to its humor while Gintama kinds tries to have it's cake and eat it too.
>>147431269
I found it boring and unfunny
>>147431269
Yes.
>>147434506
Not really, because it's not only adds new gags, but it dwells on past and combine them.Ending is shit though/
>>147435357
They are doing their best
>>147435395
You don't seem to understand the words you speak.
Not him but you claim Gintama to be underrated which is not the case. It is a normalfag viewed show with lolsorandom comedy and is highly overrated and praised everywhere.
What you're trying to say is that it is underrated on /a/ when that clearly isn't the case it deserves recognition here unlike anywhere else, None
>>147435022
>MALtama
funnier than the actual anime,i keked
>>147436169
So, have you got any actual criticism other then "It's rated highly on MAL" and "It's overrated" ?
>>147434666
You must be blind if you don't see the threads, as fleeting as they are.
Also comedy is hardly compareable to story driven shows like the ones you listed, except for Nichijou obviously.
It's nowhere underrated, just not talked about often.
>>147437823
>It's nowhere underrated, just not talked about often.
You know, that could be a definition of underrated
>>147437583
It's parody comedy that exists in various other comedy anime its pretty much the family guy of anime. It has done nothing different other than being one of the longest running shows.
Here's you're (you) just in case you're baiting
>>147437912
Hokuto no Ken is easily one of the most popular shows in existence and a pillar of the entire industry, yet we usually only have a thread about it 1-2 times a month tops. Is that underrated?
>>147434846
>Check MAL
Do you think MAL has even 2% of the amount of people that watch anime?
First of all it's an english site which means it's 80% burgers and britbongs.
AND then majority of people don't really give a shit about discussing anime in forums, in fact majority of people think that forums are stupid and not to mention boring.
Check pic related: Ranked 11. Score: 9(voted by 100k, ONLY 100k) members 300k.
See what i'm saying, out of millions and millions that watch anime all over the world only 100k rated Gintama. And let's not pretend there's not a couple thousand samefagging in there.
I liked it. Kagura the best oddjobs.
>>147431269
yes
>>147434846
>its the best rated and viewed anime
Gintama has a small cult of fans who obsessively worship it on MAL. Its rating is extremely high, yet compared to other highly rated titles on MAL's top 10 it has only a fraction as many people who've seen it. Last time I did the math, it had a rating on par with FMA:B while having about 1/10th the viewership.
>>147436013
This. I forced myself through 80 episodes and couldn't handle it anymore.
The first anime I ever dropped.
Kinda, until Hinamatsuri or Grand Blue get an anime adaptation.
>>147431269
So what is the 'essential' Gintama, like I know the 'first 3' is actually the 'first 30', but when can I cut myself off before it gets too stale?
>>147431269
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and Heybot exist so no.
>>147431269
Gonna have to agree with the Boboboposters here, not even dubbing could slow the Bo.
I'll leave this here for the faggots who cant handle a +300 episodes Animes
>>147431269
nah, but I guess it's okay
Also an updated version would be much appreciated.
>>147431269
Not while fumoffu, Seto no Hanayome andSabagebuexist.
>>147431269
Its mostly great.
8.5 / 10cant wait for the next arc, the last 2 arc (shogun assassination, goodbye shinsengumi) is going full serious though
>>147441965
Not hard to do. Just add a "don't bother with the 2015 anime, just read the manga. It's not worth anymore."
>>147441965
Am I blind, or is this list missing the Kabuki District War Arc?
>>147444444
Nice dubs
>>147444444
Checked
>>147444444
noice, also you are blind.
>>147444444
Noice sex
Why are gintama threads so rare?
>>147444444
Checked.
>>147444444
Nice sexts.

>tfw I miss Gintama
I just want my weekly madao dose
Why do I have to suffer ?
Especially when the manga is about to endI don't know I'm an animeonlyfag
>>147444444
Came here for the hexas
>>147444667
anime is on hiatus
>>147444771
not an excuse
>>147438114
Gintama is an ongoing series with new content every weak though
>>147440483
Regular Kagura = Not for sexual
Older, obviously sexualised big tittied with her beautiful mother genes at her best Kagura = For sexual
>>147441079
After the first big arc, the Benizakura one I think
Its second best comedy after Hinamatsuri.
Protect his smile, /a/
What episode does Gintama get good? Im already in episode 19 still meh
>>147445223
keep watching
when it gets good it doesnt stop getting gooder
>>147441891
>Okita
>Best swordsman of the Shinsengumi

>>147445283

So the next season will be a real time skip?
>>147445223
25, then keep watching until the end

>is going full serious though
Well, Gori-sensei is indeed tired, and now that his Jump-bestie also finished his work, is a good time to do it too
At least we had a couple of chuckles in the few gag chapters in between shit went down again in the manga, posting second best girl
>>147438337

MADAOnaire might be the perfect episode to introduce someone to gintama
Best ending

Excellent choice.
I live as Madao. I hope my summer vacation comes to an end soon.

>not samurai heart
Best opening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REHaJZgWwxY
>>147448328
ALL the openings to gintama have been quality, but PRAY is the most memorable

never though i would feel sad when this fucking faggot died.
>>147451689
why u hatin
I'll probably get shit on for this but I really enjoyed Osomatsu-san. It was significantly different from its earlier iterations but was still damn funny.
>>147451689
I felt the same when that cunt from the Crisis arc died
>All he ever wanted was some family love and friends
Tama best girl
>>147445719
Second best
>gintama
>gin + tama
>>147456723
Anon, we all know she's the best, but the one fated to win the Ginbowl is no other than Tsukki
>>147456791
Tama is best girl but Tsukki is best match
Sorachi better not pull out on us
>>147448437
That season might have been pretty fucked up by Sunrise, but if there's something they got fucking right, aside from the afro arc, it was the fucking openings, Know is the best opening by DOES hands down
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNGmruHS3r8
>>147456951
>Sorachi is friends with Kubo
>Though, all the girls are just as popular
I don't really know men, as far as I can tell, Gin can even die and end up with that ghost qt from the stand arc, or the delivery girl
>>147457107
>delivery girl
I forgot her, she was hot
Know is pretty good too
Blu-ray best girl
>>147457485
>all those one-off girls you will never see again
>>147441891
I'm like 50~ episodes in. Are there any notable episodes or should I just say fuck it and keep going?
Show is really good though. I'm loving the comedy,but when does it get serious?
Is Gintama, Bleach done right?
>Swords fights
>Many characters but with enough screen time
>SoL
>All the girls that can win are great
>MC haves weird hair and is GOAT instead of a special snowflake
The only part where they are equal is in Keikaku man villain though
>>147431269
No, because Urusei Yatsura is better.
>>147457711
You're about to get to the Benizakura arc, the first big serious arc, keep going strong anon
>>147457711
there's a serious arc or two soon for you
>>147457838
More like Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) done right.
>>147457619
Give them time about 2 years for another 60 episodes of Gintama+
>>147457840
>Tuberculotic Homosexuality
Big announcement in this weeks Jump.
>>147459197
It's not Gintama though, we already got the live act
Gintama has it's moments but overall I did not find it very funny.
Saiki is the superior Jump comedy as of now.
>>147459596
you don't know shit
>>147459799
Then what in heaven it could be about?
its very hit or miss
No.
>>147431269
I want to say its the best everything.
>>147462971
Sho-san a cute
>>147431269
On my 3x3 definitely, if I made one.
>le beginning is bad meme
I can't be the only one that got hooked into Gintama just on the first episode right? I loved how they introduced Gintoki kicking those amanto butts and Shinpachi joining him out of respect and admiration, boy that didn't last long.
>>147431269
No. Saiki is giving it a run for its money.
>>147464591
The first two episodes are literally trash
>>147464785
I have the feeling you are talking about the OVAs, which I'm not sure why they put them as episode 1 and 2.I liked them though, the message that even an ugly loser can face life like that was very moving
shameless bump
let's speculate how many chapters till the end. i say 15
>>147434637
its shit
