How does Gintama stay so consistently good for so long?
After such a bad first episode, the only way to go is up.
>>150988617
God-tier VA casting and good source material.
Also episodic format helps.
>>150988617
> The anime probably has the biggest amount of A list VAs working on one series.
> The filler is often as good are superior to the canon material, meaning that entertainment quality is always high.
>>150988984
>>150989214
What VA's work on it? Can't say I immediately recognize any of the voices.
>>150988617
It have the best OST of the whole history of anime and it always just gets better.
>just a few more weeks for new OP and ED
>>150989214
If anything, it shows how much Sunrise Enjoys making Gintama
>>150989451
Fuusen gum is criminally underrated
>>150988617
Because you're suffering from cognitive dissonance, Anon.
>>150988617
I wish my standards were as low as yours.
I'd be entertained by Justin Bieber even.
>>150990024
Show us the light novel garbage you read / watch so we can laugh at you or shut up.
actually for me gintama was OK at best for most of what i went trough so far (108 episodes watched). when it's funny its really funny. otherwise it's OK....
>>150990071
Ajin, laugh away you sperglord.
It doesn't.
>>150988617
Pretty dead for the moment though
Surveys, statistics and editorial anon; it's not that difficult...
>>150990249What's stopping you from enjoying both anon?
MR. RAINDROP
FALLING AWAY FROM ME NOW!
Post the episode that got you fully cemented into the series!
>>150988617
>it get good, just gotta put up with the first 17 eps then it improves
Gintama fags are the worst
>>150990024
>justin Bieber insults
We 2010 now
>>150991367
Kyuubei arc, with Kondo, Gin, and their opponents stuck in a stall.
>>150991319
Gintama is garbage.
>>150988617
>consistently good for so long
You mean it's gone for too long with the same jokes and drama. It was fun even while repeating the same formula maybe a couple of times more but now it's just boring garbage. It's time for it to end.
>>150991595
Kill yourself.
>>150992026
He's right though
>>150988617
By being consistently bad for so long
>>150991319
No one likes everything, anon.
>>150988617
Why are you asking on /a/ of all places?
Most autists here can't stand anything that's remotely outside of their niche and most of their niche is moe.
Gintama is fun, and we know how everyone here feels about fun.
>>150991367
Can't remember, but the Yoshiwara Burning arc has been my favorite so far. Bear in mind I'm only on episode 190.
>>150989311
for starters, and most importantlyGoogle Searchworks on it. You probably recognize it and would already know if you weren't being lazy.
I want to hug Nobume.
>>150992363
The new eyes ruined her.

Legendary episode
>>150992765
>>150990024
Ouch
>>150992491
This is basically the best episode of anime ever made.
Why is Kagura the only JUMP heroine to not be complete shit
>>150991367
>Have the full song on my playlist I play in my car
>It pops on while driving with my friends
>They all love the song
>>150992491

>>150992360
Fuck you nigger
>>150989311
Her you go anon;
Tomokazu Sugita- Gintoki
Daisuke Sakaguchi- Shinpachi
Rie Kugimiya- Kagura
>>150991748
This,
The last few serious arcs is basically
>Oh shit something bad happens/enemy has advantage
>comedy in between
>Monologue for a character
>Time for a cool shot/spread/one liner from said character in pose
>Does a 180 against villains
>Yay for comradeship/solidarity
>>150993277
Literally from the beginning faggot.
It's 300+ episodes of greatness.
Atleast every 10 episodes you will find one that's incredibly good so you can't just jump in at a certain point. Also the first 20 episodes sets up a lot of background info for characters so it's probably some of the most hit and miss for people.
Posting some good info that helped me get into the show.
>>150994332
that is a very nice chart. thank you for posting it.
>>150994144
Serious arcs have always been the same
>slice of life introduction to the situation
>villain makes a devious appearance and beats the shit out of people
>gin probably loses a fight
>gin teams together with his nakama to take on the villain again
>villain gets some flashbacks where their sad story is revealed and you see how sympathetic they are
>gin beats the villain while past victim of said villain laments their passing or defeat
Best episodes are the standalone or joke arcs like the race one.
>>150990146
OK...
I haven't watch this series in years. can anyone help me pick up where i left off?
last episode i remember was the one where gintoki is stuck in sleep paralysis because the animators needed to save budget
>>150990024
Would you rather listen to Justin Bieber for one minute or kill yourself?
>>150995796
I agree with you 100% but having consecutive serious arcs doing this over and over makes it so in your face compared to once every 50 chapters
>>150988617
Likeable cast and good balance between comedy and action. Which means that the consistency pretty much stopped about two years ago ever since the manga gone full battle shonen.
>>150990024
>Being pretentious over taste in anime/manga
It'd be better if it was 3DWhen's the new season? I'm hyped as hell
>>150991408
Even Gintoki himself brings up how bad the start was in Gintama': Enchousen.

Is Oguri Shun too overused for live action anime?

>of all things he chooses the few that can't even be consistent
>>150997974
>its a serious arc with gags
>not a gag arc that ends up wrenching your heart more than anything you've ever see before.
I'm not sure what arc they are adapting but it looks like the Benizakura one.
>>150988617
You think they're serious yet they're actually trolling
>>150998464
Bro, if anything Gintama taught us, is that is ALWAYS Benizakura Arc
>>150998226
What the fuck are you ta-
>>150997974
Dude, what the hell, I mean, this seems like a huge mistake to let it pass, does this new Gin have 6 fingers?
>>150991367
I started with the manga, but Nabe Shogun is what got me started on watching the anime
