Nothing.

Toilet humor, poop jokes and satire.

I really want to like it, but I feel I need something more than that for 316 episodes worth.

The serious episodes/arcs just kill it for me, though.

It's shit.
Beelzebub was 1000 times better. But it didn't have fujo appeal so it got cancelled. Fucking nips.

>>150126935
Go watch Keroro instead. It's a better self-aware comedy.

>>150127183
Funny. I've seen Keroro referenced in tons of anime. but never once seen a Gintama reference.

>>150127097
yea it really should stick to the comedy and not half-ass a plot

Those things you listed are character traits, repeated as the long running jokes.

>What does this series do well again?
Voice acting, likable cast, best girls, some unexpected feels.

>tryhard serious arcs
how are they "tryhard"? In fact, the earlier light-hearted mood and pace only makes those darker / sadder scenes hit even stronger, IMO.

Is this the Gintama thread? The last chapter might have been the best one this year. Classic Gorilla-sensei.

>no Kagura fanservice unless we count when they turn her into old hag herself
More casual than casual.
Good for some shallow watchinig.

So, any dates on the new season yet?

Or when the fuck are we getting Love Potion arc's part 2??

The character conflict over petty things like in episode 25 generally results in some of the best humor in the series.

The author wanted to end Beelzebub because he didn't know what to do.

>>150126935
Gintama is a shonen that mocks of the genre that is its own basis. Toilet humor, referential humor, violent gags, the shit is funny in a very simple level. Then you have Gintama being actually respectful about the tropes in the most serious arcs. So, basically, Gintama is a shonen done right. There is thin veil that Gintama never break, when it comes about taking itself too seriously or too random.
So you may appreciate Gintama if you like shonen, and if you are tired of the random plots that take themselves too serious when deep down are just too shallow.

not to mention no second ova yet. not even a raw

This.

I just got past the Jirocho arc and my god, what a ride that was.

I actually teared up when Gin found Otose and got terrible goose bumps when Gintoki attacked Jirocho. The savageness in that fight was unreal

>>150126935
It's just the best anime ever.

I'm sure that stuff like this happened all the time when the Japanese tried to prevent assassinations

>>150126935
>What does this series do well again?
Humour. And despite being pretty much a parody, it can still do drama well.

However. It's about twice as long as it should've been.
If the whole Gintama anime consisted of only the best episodes, it'd be a 100-150 episode long show and probably the best animated comedy.

But no, there are also worse episodes mixed into that.
And yes, it does get good after dozens of episodes, which is why I never recommend Gintama to anyone.

>>150132355
Is kinda funny that people really think Sorachi is subverting a genre when he is just using it to the letter but just making obvious the many flaws.

Will Gintama make some gags in final chapters about famous manga endings?

The comedy is why you read the series, the serious arcs make you cry when you thought you just wanted to laugh. The serious arcs are what make the series so endearing and able to last so long because you become attached to characters that should just be one note.

Also, serious arcs are hardly that serious overall, they are still usually filled with humor like the Ketsuno Ana arc. I admit all this final arc stuff does put a lot into question in how the series will be remembered because it's going on for over a hundred chapters where before no arc was really longer than four or five chapters, but even now, there's been all sorts of great comedic chapters mixed in and I'm hoping Gori-sama can stick the landing.

And it's through comedy it can tackle some pretty heavy subjects that other shonen do not.

>>150128717
I've stopped reading Gintama ever since that long winded serious arc started (I think I stopped right after they introduce Kagura's mom's backstory)
Has it gone back to being lighthearted? Should I bother?
I'm watching old episodes to compensate

>>150138051
Oh fuck off, Kagura's mom was awesome, though that arc was killing me too as it got on too long...it has gone right back to being light-hearted once they go to Earth though. We've had great returns of characters like Madao and even Prince Baka had a great chapter this week.

There's a series called Sket Dance that came from the exact mold as Gintama. Yorozuya at high school setting.

You guys kidding me? Sorachi brought Hata back? That's amazing.
What's that, 400 chapters since we last saw him?
