Gintama

I love the arc where Kyubei is introduced, the toilet/sandpaper scene is one of my favorites in Gintama. Toilet humor done right.

Yes back in the days where even the serious arcs had a healthy mix of action and comedy not like now with buzz killer Utsuro

>>152087911
I still hasn't lost faith in the Kagura's boyfriend arc.

>>152088781
Maybe as an OVA one day, anon.

>>152088146
Loved the Yagyu Arc as well. Great mix of comedy and serious. Lots of comedy, but some cool "fights" as well. I liked Hijikata facing off with a ketchup-fanatic.

I watched the first episode (technically the third) of Gintama recently and it was one of the worst first episodes I've ever seen.

>>152087911
Probably the Owee or Scandal arc

>>152090156
One of the worst episodes of Gintama? Or anime in general?
Have you ever watched Gintama before? It's well-known that you have to get through the character introductions first before it gets good. I really didn't "get" Gintama at first, but after pushing through I'm incredibly grateful that I did. I'm not even joking, marathoning Gintama years ago during summer break was one of the best times of my life. Couldn't wait to get to the next episode each time.

This series really jumped the shark with Utsuro.

>>152090563
As a fan for over 6 years, I have to agree. Terrible decision. As was the decision to end Gintama with a series of serious arcs. The carefree everyday life adventures are over for good, it seems. And those carefree days are what made Gintama so good.

>Gintama thread about comedy arcs
>no mention of Otsu Fanclub Arc
Best comedy arc by a long, long mile, mostly due to Taka-tin.

Literally worse than Family Guy.
It's mind blowing to me how anyone over the age of 13 could enjoy this crap.

The funeral episode is by far the most I've laughed in a Gintama episode

Nothing's worse than that, dear burger.
And a typical sub-15yo wouldn't understand even half of Gintama's gags.

>>152091299
Remind me, is that the one with the truck with two dozen penises sticking out of the side? Or the more recent Kagura funeral episode?
Both were amazing.

>>152091342
I'm reminded that the Ogre Bathhouse episodes are actually some of the best now that I see your pic.

>>152087911
It's been so long since I watched the first season, I can't remember many of the stand-alone gag episodes. I do remember the Love Correspondence Arc being really good though. The episode where Gintoki, Hijikata and Kondo all try and help Shinpachi to write back to his lover pen pal, and Kondo keeps adding "It gets me hard" in the most unusual places.

FENNY'S MONJA

I still can't watch Rocky movies without laughing when he starts the training montage because of that.

>>152091349
The penis clams one.
when he started making soba out of their souls my sides were in orbit

>>152088146
>>152089243
Yagyu had the perfect mix of comedy and serious, I think. Lots of comedy, but some cool fights as well, and some story/character progression. A lot of later serious arcs were overshadowed by the serious-factor and had way less comedy.

>>152088146
That was the first episode of Gintama I ever saw. It was love at first sight.

>>152092489
Has to be one of my all-time favourite moments. A 20-minute discussion about toilet paper in Death Note style, where everyone is thinking three steps ahead of their opponent. Then Kondo and slit-eyes step out and have a fight to end the episode with a shounen twist. So good.

>>152087911

She was never pure!!!

>>152093135
This is so fucking amazing. What must the (obviously talented) singer have thought when she got that fucking script.

>>152087911
One of my fav arcs is when they fight those priest brothers w/e and Shinpachi falls in love with that giant bug that he's supposed to eat. I was in tears.

Sadly they can't do comedy anymore when Shogun and Sasaki are both dead. BOYCOTT SORACHI.

>>152093320
Pandemonium-san is best girl

>>152093320
Every single Shogun episode is best episode. The fact that they killed him off basically sealed Gintama's fate, never to be that funny again.

I think my all-time favourite episode is the one where the Shogun comes to the swimming pool where Gintoki and Madao are working.

The animation of the new season looks so good that it's unreal, I guess it's true Sunrise magic is back.

Pretty much any episode/arc with my boi Katsura and Elizabeth in it. Katsura is by far my fav character as well, combined with Ishida Akira's voice he's just next level. I'm not that big of a Gintoki fan.

Anyone thinks we'll ever see who's under Elizabeth's costume for real?

I truely think Gintama's peak isn't in comedy episodes but in semi-serious emotional ones like Kagura doing the daily warmups in the park. Best episode was Madao Observation

>>152092981
>>152093706
You guys are in the wrong series, Gintama is not about that, pls leave.

That first person episode is by far my all time favorite episode in the history of anime

>>152093866
I don't think it's Sunrise anymore, anon. But I agree, the OP and the episode looked superb.

>>152093877
Katsura's amazing, but really underused. I loved all this episodes so much. The Jackie Chan episode, him hiding out in that Noodle joint, etc.
I think Gorilla made a joke about him not using Katsura as much because he and Kyubei overlap too much in terms of character. But I like how Katsura has a bigger role in the series at the moment, finally.

Episode 156. The entire episode was on this guy serving Gintoki and co

>>152094428
Ah shit, I remember. It hinted at Gintoki and Otae or something and then at the end it's just two people in the same clothes who looked hideous.
Gintama is a fucking masterpiece.

>>152094535
>Gintama is a fucking masterpiece
Gintama oozes charm.
It's not just the source material, you could tell the staff at Sunrise really loved being involved on Gintama

>>152094134
Fuck, what was she called again? Cutest Gintama definitely. I didn't like that arc much, but she made it all up. Those scenes were fucking hilarious

>>152094849
That's sort of what I miss these days though. I mean, I liked the little skit in the latest episode about being in the midnight slot. But I miss the 10 minutes of dialogue over a still picture of the house. Or the time they even whined about the static house and they 3D animated it to spin around. And the live-action parts with the mannequins. Sunrise really helped in making Gintama feel like Gintama.
It hasn't been the same since Bandai took over, I still like it, and it shows charm, but it's not like it used to be.

>>152098118
I pity your ears, anon. It's in my top three Gintama OPs. It's beauty-beauty-beautiful.

>>152098226
I'm betting one of the other two is Stairway Generation

>>152098445
That's actually number 4.

>>152087911
When the last arc is over I want the comedy fuller arcs adapted im a new season that'll be at least 10 episodes. The rest of the season should be comedy standalone episodes that take place after defeating ustro ending off with a parody of the naruto/bleach epilouge
