Gintama is pretty hit or miss, huh
>>

>Gintama is a gag manga
Correct, one of the best
>>
>>153268798
After episode 20, it's definitely one of my favorite. I understand the humor being hit or miss. The humor is way too Japanese for some people to enjoy
>>
>>153270690
>After episode 20, it's definitely one of my favorite.
same. I just recently started watching the show, and boy does the first season feel like a complete different show than majority of what follows. The first "recap" episode however nailed it for me.

>The humor is way too Japanese for some people to enjoy
the show's occasionally too much even for the Japanese, and Gintama openly acknowledges it as well.
>>
>>153271105

Too bad I don't get most of the reference when they talk about actual Japanese people in the anime. Otherwise, it's really fucking great. I love the sol episodes and it's really intense when it gets serious.

Same, but fortunately the show's gags mostly revolve around re-occuring character tropes and referencing / parodying other nerd material. Oh, and it even occasionally has a PLOT.

funnily enough, even the show itself makes fun of that fact, and the idea that the "western audiences" would find him only an annoying prick.

But yeah, it's not like they exactly would have "hid" the fact that even the show's name is there to get young girls say out loud BALLS in Japanese. Then again, just about every female character in the show is OP as fuck badass.
>>

Not even a /pol/fag dude I'm just stating facts
And facts are you will never see the proper women degrade themselves
Dyou see one single relevant whore in the series despite shilling the Yoshiwara arc to be this sketchy whore town? Hell no.
Even Sorachi made sure Tsukky had no experience
It's alright to have Gin fuck Madao in the ass or grannies or tease Shinpachi relentlessly about being a virgin but the girls are off limits

>>153271919
No, just stating facts. Btw not reading the series since...I forgot. Probably when the Shogun returned

Oh I stand corrected. Forgot all about her
But she's one of the main side characters which was my point
>Then again, just about every female character in the show is OP as fuck badass.
Got no problem with that
Just that Sorachi is willing to degrade his male character's self-esteem but not the female's, a little hypocritical imo

Like when they were washed up on a deserted island, you got Madao and Shinpachi prancing naked or Katsura urinating but all Otae gets is a Bz reference and Kagura a Laputa joke?

Come on. People can't deny the gorilla shelters his women

About sex not vaginas

Again, find me a scene in Gintama where the men joke about a woman's sexuality at her expense. You'll find none. I'm not saying Gintama's bad for not doing it, I enjoy it all the same, but this is legit criticism and I understand why he does it. Cant got pissing off majority of your fanbase now.

I started watching Gintama recently because I heard the serious stuff was good but I ended up really liking it just for the comedy stuff. I just finished the Benizakura stuff recently and thought it was pretty bad, to be honest.
>>
>>153273143
Dr. Slump was his first work, by Dragon Ball he was already a hugely popular and established manga creator with a wife and kids that he proudly talked about with his fans

Sorachi started off under the constant fear his series would get cancelled, and many years into his series, married one of the voice actors (and then kept it a secret for years)

Obviously, Gori-sama can't be expected to have been a huge hit with women at the beginning of his career and to feel comfortable joking about their genitalia
>>
>>153273281
Who did he marry?
>>
>>153273281
Longevity isn't the reason. Or else he'd be comfortable enough to do it now.

He's just politically correct. And I see it as a flaw. But I don't hold it against him.

So this has probably been pointed out before but I recently decided to read the manga after catching up with the anime. Imagine my surprise when somewhere around chapter 100 I suddenly realized that Otsu's character design is pretty much just female Okita in a different outfit and dark hair.

>tfw female Okita and Otsu will never get together and form a pop duo

>>
>>153275624

Personally I think that Sorachi just liked the design too much to completely scrap it. In the anime, they changed female Okita's design just slightly. She didn't have the pieces of hair hanging down the sides framing her face so there was definitely a differentiation there. But it looks like the two designs in the manga are nearly identical which was what finally made me make the connection. I mean, yeah theres some sameface in Gintama but I don't think its THAT bad.
>>
>>153275752
It's certainly not a bad design by any means, so I can't blame him for reusing unintentionally or not.
>>
>>153275752
That design is honestly too good looking for a one off gender bend arc

Side ponytails and moody looking eyes are a great combo
>>
>>153271833
There are word puns around vaginas, and the Renho arc has a couple of vagina jokes.
But yeah, there are more dick jokes. It's easier to make a funny dick joke then it is a funny vagina joke.
>>
>>153273753
BNP and it's just as good, though there are some notable dopey frames during important scenes, so many people hate it (and there's Sunrise Gintama nostalgia).
>>
>>153275842

Agreed. Souko was definitely the highlight of that arc for me. She's just really pretty, even compared to the regular female cast and I'm not sure what it was that made her stand out like that.

Also I find it a little funny that someone would shit on Gintama for not being feminist (which is kind of a ridiculous thing to expect in the first place) even though the bottom line of the genderbender arc was that if the roles WERE reversed men would be absolutely useless. The world definitely has a bias for the physical strength of men but if you take that away from them then what do you have? A bunch of floundering idiots that can't accomplish a single task whereas the women, whose strength normally goes unrecognized, stepped up to the task with marked proficiency. They were more successful as men than the real men were and that says a lot.

Sorachi easily could have gone another route and had the women-turned-men be their usual feminine selves to make jokes that way but he didn't. He chose to use the role reversal to show that the women are a lot stronger than they're given credit for and, if they were in a position of power, would easily surpass whatever accomplishments men have eked out.

I don't even agree with most feminist theory and I'm over here spouting this shit.

>>
>>153276209

How do you think the series will end for her? Do you think she'll return to her home planet, will she stay on Earth? Will Kamui and her make up or will one of them die? Will she hook up with anyone at all? Shinpachi, Okita or Gin-chan? How likely is a timeskip with grown up Kagura?
>>
>>153276350
Won't be Shinpachi or Gin-chan, and in all honesty, I doubt she'll be paired with anybody. She'll probably stay on earth, but I don't know for sure.
Maybe Kamui will die? He's a popular character but Sorachi is willing to kill off popular characters, as he's already shown in the final arc.
>>
>>153276209
Gura-Chan is still cute as fuck no matter she's doing and no matter in the mood she is. She can puke, being rude and picking her nose everyday, Kagura will always stay a cutie pie.
>>
>>153276705
It's weird, but great. Wish there were more characters out there like her but at the same time, I'm glad she's one of a kind.
The only times she's not cute is when she either gets really fat or when something makes her snap and go psycho.
>>
>>153276596

I feel like there have been little snippets here or there that seem to imply a redemption arc might happen for Kamui, specifically in the Shogun Assassination arc, but at the same time it might not happen. I never thought there would be a point where Gin and Takasugi fight side by side again and while I don't know if it was a REAL redemption (haven't gotten that far yet) it did seem a little forced in the anime. Personally I don't know what I'd like to see from Kamui in the end because he's a bit of an enigma.

And I'm a monster who casually ships Gin x Kagura because I love that kind of father-daughter relationship but I think if any serious pairings happen it'll be Gin x Tsukuyo. Which I'm 100% fine with.

>>153276191
>someone would shit on Gintama for not being feminist
I'm arguing the opposite

>the bottom line of the genderbender arc was that if the roles WERE reversed men would be absolutely useless
No. The point of that arc was that Kyuu's selfishness of trying to turn into a man to get Tae's romantic affection wasn't worth it since she'll lose whatever they already had going, it wasn't worth destroying her daily life for it, and Tae was never going to choose her in the beginning. It's not a statement about feminism.

The uselessness of the men in that arc were played for GAGS you fucking imbecile. If the men were such floundering idiots then why's the space pirates afraid of a MAN? Why's the gumi being led by a MAN? Why's rebels being led by a MAN? Why is the world of Gintama being run by MALES? They're so incompetent right? No. Competence isn't determined by biological strength.

>Sorachi easily could have gone another route and had the women-turned-men be their usual feminine selves to make jokes that way but he didn't.
Which is what I'm saying. Sorachi didn't have the balls to do that because he was being politically correct, so that he wouldn't insult a femanon like you. Or I suspect, a faganon.

>He chose to use the role reversal to show that the women are a lot stronger than they're given credit for
You should really graduate high school first before posting here. I didn't say nothing about them being given credit for their strength, I love the women in Gintama. What I don't like is how Sorachi exempts them from the more sexual body gags the men are susceptible to. Where's my sandy vagina jokes? You got dicks used as rudders skiing down a hill. Where's my bra jokes? Gintama isn't above making fun of their national leader's briefs.

My first post was about the equal opportunity I felt Sorachi should have given the women instead of coddling them.

I respect your opinion, but I think it's for showing that Kyuubei is a kind of "tomboy", she was raised as a dude. You know it's pretty similar to the Japanese female seiyuus who are voicing shounen boys.
In the Dekoboro arc, she had the opportunity to become a man, but she refused.

Nah, they definitely messed up the adaptation of some comedic stories early in the last season, in addition to the animation of the Shinsengumi arc and part of the Shogun arc.

New season has been better adaptation-wise, but, still, the lack of the anime-only running jokes hurts.

The issue there isn't with Sorachi, it's with general censorship in Japan. You can make jokes with male nudity and underwear even in timeslots for kids (like some episodes of the 3rd season of the Keroro/Sgt.Frog anime), but show a girl in underwear and suddenly the show has sexual content and needs to be at evening at least.

If they attempted to make jokes with the girls as raunchy as the ones that the males get with penises and such, it might get censored even from Jump itself.
>>
>>153286796
The manga doesn't have most of those scenes with static background and the cast messing around.

>>153287201
The Jackie Chan half of the Yamazaki infiltrating the rebels story was anime original, for example. Then there's stuff like most episodes focused on new opening/ending debuts. Others were in the manga, but got more obvious references in the anime, like the first episode about Gintaman's manga artist.

it's not "Sunrise Gintama nostalgia". the fact is, the entire production is worse than ever. the animation is utter shit now, and the script is fucking boring. outside of the OVAs, i only remember finding one episode really funny, and that was the first fucking one. fantastic episode, but it didn't make up for the following 50 episodes of shit.

Yes, it really get good after. For me, it's started to be great at the episode 25. As the OP asked, it's indeed a "hit or miss" anime, the humour isn't everyone cup of tea. Continue to watch the episodes and see by yourself, if don't like it then drop it.

There's a lot more padding in the earlier episodes of the anime. Like Sacchan's introduction chapter in the manga is a lot shorter.
>>
>>153286796
Well for one, the anime skipped over quite a few arcs:

Kagura's Boyfriend Arc: Chapter 419-422
Excalibur Arc: Chapter 424-429
Ikumatsu Arc: Chapter 431-433
Idol Group Arc: Chapter 445-449
Love Potion Arc: Chapter 492-496 (Animated as 2-part OVA)
Guardian Spirit Arc: Chapter 499-501
>>
>>153272449
Did you miss Sacchan being a maso and getting humiliated for it every now and then?
>>
>>153301375
I don't think anybody will get together with Gintoki at the end.

But if anybody is going to, then it's Tsukuyo. By far the most blatant ship teasing of any Gintoki couple.

Found it: http://www.yorozuyasoul.com/translations/quick_japan_2009_interview

Oonishi: Usually in manga, characters would head in the direction of wanting to overturn a system or wanting to change the world. In Gintama, it feels more like “Let everyone find their own small happiness.” Usually, if they aren’t happy with amanto rule, why not beat up all the amanto.

Sorachi: But how’re you supposed to kick all of them out? There’s a lot of foreigners coming to Japan right now, so isn’t this telling all the foreigners to get out? I don’t want that, but rather to accommodate and embrace each other and live together. Can’t we have that?

Oonishi: But some people would still want to eliminate others.

Sorachi: I don’t want that kind of “one side falls” thinking.

I gave this show a try, and after two months I'm finally up to date. I have to say though, I really feel like Gintama truly picked up only after the Umibozu arc.Watching from there, I had a blast with just about every episode that came up until the Kintama arc. But that's about it. After episode 200 I felt like the series was starting to change compared to how it originally was, not just including the art and animation, but even in how the characters acted. I won't lie to say that there was plenty of arcs I did enjoy, but especially with the serious parts like Shogun Assassination/Farwell Shinsengumi it just doesn't feel like the Gintama I know and love. It makes me wish Sorachi never decided to uncover Gintoki's backstory completely, and just left a sense of mystery forever instead of changing the tone of the show.
>>
>>153303726
Well Shogun Assassination and Farewell Shinsengumi arcs are both arcs leading up the finale of the series.

I think Courtesan of a Nation is on pretty much everyone's list of favorite serious arcs. Overall it was really solid and it introduced best girl so there really wasn't anywhere to go wrong.

I don't know about arcs but as far as individual episodes go, I think my favorite is still the one where Kagura couldn't sleep and Gin tried turning on the radio to help her doze off. I went from legitimately crying because of that story about the dog to laughing my ass off within 0.5 seconds. It was honestly the hardest I've ever laughed at an anime and it'll always have a special place in my heart. Of course I felt weird afterward from the sudden 180 in emotions but that just means it did its job well.

It has been a while since I stopped watching gintama. I think I lost my motivation to continue watching it because a friend wouldn't stop posting spoilers about the new chapters everywhere and her shipping bullshit and because of my lack of free time. But I stopped at episode 210 or something like that, right before a "serious" arc apparently, so I feel like I should give it a try again once I have enough free time to catch up to the recent seasons. How long did it take take you guys to watch all the episodes?

Good question, it's been a while, but the anime is currently at episode 321.

Just start episode 210 again and watch one of the best arcs in Gintama. Take your time catching up on the anime, then read the skipped manga arcs here: >>153302066
>>
>>153321261
It is by its fans, and because of the praise it gets from them (as well as its MAL rankings), many just assume the fans overrate it. After all, it's not often that a long running shounen is all that impressive.

>>153321083

Also sorry for double subs.

Damn, I actually started watching when there were only 250 episodes or something like that, and everyone was hoping for a new season. I'll wait for the summer holidays so I'll have enough free time to binge watch it like I did at first. And thanks for the skipped arcs, I had no idea the anime skipped things, I read the first 20 volumes and the anime adaptation was so accurate it just felt very repetitive.

I've noticed that most people hating on the new seasons are doing so because it doesn't have as much anime original content. I can't think of any other anime where people complain about that, goes to show how good Gintama's anime original stuff is.
>>
>>153322755
Gintama doesn't have as much anime original content as people say. But a lot of it tends to be funny.
>>
>>153322821
The first season had heaps. Plenty of the episodes were half anime original, like the Jackie Chan one and there were often the scenes like the static picture and the after credits. Then there's the recap episodes which (with one exception) were great, and the anime original episodes like the horse racing one and the sniper one.
>>
>>153322908
True, though most of those tended to be expansions of existing stories, padding them out to fill out entire episodes, until they started putting two different stories in each episode later.
>>
>>153322755
They still use the joke with the static house shot to promote the movie, for example. It just became part of Gintama's identity.

I think the closest thing to it would be Urusei Yatsura, where stuff like the rival character Mendo having a personal army became strongly associated with the series even though it was never in the manga.

>>153323234
Cute
>>
>>153323404
That's what I was attempting to explain there. Some of the anime-only humor basically became associated with Gintama itself by a lot of people, which is why they miss it in the new seasons that pretty much follow the manga to the letter.
>>
>>153323234

Well, aside from skipping a bunch of comedic stories last season.

>>153323521
Ah, okay.
Also, looking back they actually used the static image twice, just one of them was in a different style (during the FS arc).
>>
>>153323545
Yeah, that was a shame. Hopefully they animate them in OVAs, or once the story is over, making one last season to animate the skipped stories (OVAs would be better). There's also Jump Festa for one or two of the skipped chapters.
>>
>>153302237
Nice. Thanks.
>>
>>153323621
I'd prefer them to just animate it in the next over making them OVAs. More accessible that way.

They need to include the Love Potion arc too, so we can have it in proper video quality. It's already animated, so it shouldn't be a problem.

It's pretty damn amazing. The reason I hope the Silver Soul arc is animated as a movie trilogy is so that it can be the same quality (or better quality) than Be Forever Yorozuya.

>>153333730
While I don't advise you skip episodes to get to the good stuff, you're yet to see how intelligent the series is with its story, foreshadowing, character development, etc., and the comedy gets better as time goes on. At the start its less funny then plenty of comedy anime but later on it's one of the funniest anime out there. Seriously, the show's had my throat hurt from laughing too much.
>>
>>153340437
That edit looks so much better, Would've loved to see her look like that in the anime.

I think she ended up with pink clothes because the anime adapted the Benizakura arc before she got any official colors in the manga.

Probably good. It's going to be mostly based on the Benizakura arc. Hoping they don't give the Shinsengumi too much screentime in the movie to avoid stealing the show, as they really weren't involved in that arc.

I feel like he was a little forgettable. I didn't remember his name either - or that he fought alongside Gin. Its been a long time since I watched that arc though. I'm currently reading the manga for the first time so maybe I'll remember him now.

He played a very big part in the 4 Devas arc, so shouldn't be that forgettable.

Imagine if a new slice of life comedy started in Shonen Jump that takes place back in the samurai era, with occasional serious arcs like Gintama, however, at the end, aliens arrived at Japan and some huge war started, then it's revealed that the main characters were Gin's parents and they get killed in the war or something and the series ends, only revealing itself as Gintama's prequel in the final chapters. I think that would be pretty neat.
>>
>>153352031
Not a problem.
>>
>>153342748
Is it just me or did the art suddenly got better?
>>
>>153354112

Yeah but that wouldn't make sense. It seemed like Gin was already an orphan before the amanto arrived and the war started when he was like 15 or something like that? I'm not caught up with the manga yet but based on the general timeline that would put Gin in his twenties which is the closest we've got to a confirmed age for him.

Which is something thats always kind of bugged me. Obviously this is anime so ages are kind of arbitrary to begin with but based on his appearance, I don't think Gin is any younger than 24 at the very yeast. So if the war took place ten years prior then he would've been 14 when he was fighting with Katsura and co. but in the flashbacks he looks much older than that. Honestly I think thats what I want the most out of Gintama's finale. A solid age for Gin so the timeline makes more sense to me.

>autsim
>>
>>153354472
He was a baby when the amanto got to earth
He was like 15 when he joined the war, at the last five years of it
>>
>>153354472
This - >>153354547
>>
>>153354547

So those flashbacks of him eating off the corpses was from a battle with the amanto and not just a regular civil war? I guess I'm just confused because all the scenes with them in Shoyo's school they never talk about the amanto once and it seemed relatively peaceful at that time.

You know, one of the things that I like about Gintama is it makes you care for its characters or even get attached to them even though they were just newly introduced and only appeared in a few episodes. A perfect example of this is the Courtesan of the Nation arc. Despite of Suzuran having the least screentime among the new characters in that arc, the ending made me teary eyed and I was sad and happy for her at the same time. Very few animes can do that, imo.
>>
>>153372922
Not him but they're pretty meh. Plus she seems like she'd be stuck being in love with Gintoki for a long time. I don't see Gintoki ending with anyone either so she'll probably just continue to stalk and sexually harass him.

>>153374367
>I wanna know which couple gets the most hate in Gintama
I don't know which couple gets a lot of hate in the series that it'd probably be Gintoki x with any girl or Gintoki x with a total random chick. That would make a lot of fujos mad. I don't recall any het pair that is popular to them other than Okita/Kagura.
>>
>>153374523
but it'd*
>>
>>153374367
Among the plausible pairings, I wouldn't like a Tae and Gintoki pairing ending.
>>
>>153369263
It would be nice to see Sougo's reaction of Gura being berserk though. How would you guys think he would react ?
>>
>>153374719
Same. When Shinsengumi was leaving I felt like Tae was gonna be okay with ending up with Kondo and started actively liking them as a couple. So I want those two together.
>>
>>153374843
I lean more on Tae and Kyubei, but she's not into girls, so Kondo has an edge there. She does seem to have finally accepted him at least.
>>
>>153374523
All non-yaoi pairings involving Gin wikk make fujoshi mad, cause it's not GinHiji. But a troll ending where Sorachi teases fujoshi with implied GinHiji would make male fans go crazy I think.
>>
>>153374839
I'm guessing he'd be shocked to see that Kagura is actually that strong. He'd be also interested and it'd just make him want to defeat her even more. Normal Kagura is already on par with Sougo but who knows what'd happen if she got taken over by her Yato instincts.
>>

Yeah, I do like Tae and Kyubei but it's really established that Tae's %100 straight so poor Kyubei has no chance.

>>153375856
All guys here go crazy over Tsukki all the time. Who else is there actually? Sacchan? Tae? Kyubei? Those aren't as popular as Tsukki for non-fujo fans.

But of course fujos are just too many so GinTsu is hated a lot but mostly by fujos cause it's in the way of GinHiji, which I find ridiculous. Look at Tsukki and Toshi, they're just too similar. If you think one would be good with Gintoki, the other would be too. They both have a useless person they're devoted to (Kondo and Hinowa), are good fighters leading a group of fighters to protect Edo and Yoshiwara, serious looking attitudes with dramatic pasts but they're actually lovable idiots, are found attractive by the members of the other sex but choose to be single, have good chemistry and can work well with Gintoki and they both respect and admire Gintoki too. They're too similar so if you ship one, accept the fact that the other is just as good.
>>
>>153375856
Non-fujo fans here do tend to ship GinTsu, yes. It has more competition in Japan, but it's not as hated as people say.
>>
>>153376307
Hijikata and Tsukuyo are not similar at all.
>>
>>153376307
Maybe it's because of the interactions they had with Gintoki. I neither ship Gin/Tsukuyo and Gin/Hiji but in terms of interactions of these two with Gintoki, Hijikata's interactions with him is more fun and interesting so I can see why they'd prefer the other pair. Heck, any interactions of the Yorozuya with the Shinsengumi (Kagura and Sogo especially) is always one of the best things in the series. I've always anticipated every episode that has these two groups interacting with each other.
>>
>>153377922
Same. Yorozuya and Shinsengumi are always fun together. I love Tsukki but Yoshiwara centered episodes were always kinda boring to me.
>>
>>153377450
Oh gosh anon, you're so right, even tho I gave many examples of why they're similar, since you said "Hijikata and Tsukuyo are not similar at all." I suddenly realized how wrong I was and I'm leaving my wrong ways behind from now on. How enlightening you were with such a deep and insightful comment. Thank you for opening my eyes with your wisdom.
>>
>>153377922
Hijikata was there from the beginning of the series, Tsukuyo came in much later. Besides, I feel any similarities between the two are mostly superficial and can be done with a lot of characters.
>>
>>153378993
Does it matter who was there first?
>>
>>153378993
Tsukuyo already had plenty of interactions with Gintoki and even had an arc dedicated to her being affected by the love potion resulting to her falling in love with him and despite of the arcs which they are mostly seen together, Gintoki still has the most interesting conversations with Hijikata or the Shinsengumi in general.

I don't think using the amount of screentime that these two had is a good excuse. I've seen a few people asking why others think that Okita/Gura is better than Shinpachi/Gura when Shinpachi is always there beside her since the beginning. I think you know the answer why. Shinpachi has been there since episode 1 and is seen 95% of the time with Kagura and despite of that, Kagura and Sougo manages to have the most fun interactions in the series even though they're quite rarely seen together. And when they do get moments together or is seen working together, it's always good.

It just depends on how the character interactions were handled. Not because of whoever came first.

Fantastic episode. Thought Gin's fight was over a bit quick, but at least we're getting to the meat of the story now.
Are they really going to wrap up this arc in 6-7 episodes? It feels like they could be done far quicker.

I think the problem is, if the show followed consistent power levels, beruseruku Gura would be too OP and overshadow Gintoki, no? (inb4 Housen)

>I'm a monster who casually ships Gin x Kagura because I love that kind of father-daughter relationship

Man honesty why the need to ruin one of the greatest platonic relationship there is, one of my favorites things in this series is Gin and kagura's shenanigans.

Rewatching the series and notice the habits she's getting from gintoki little by little becoming a mini-gintoki despite what she says about him that he's shaddy, un-trust worthy, a scum among scum, sadicts bastard etc. The fact she admires him so much that she just mimics him in sort of ways atleast tries to she even pickup his sadistic side.

So yeah the whole "GinXGura" feels like Gin and Mini gin to me.

>>153374523

I'd be pretty irritated if Gin ended up with Sa-chan, Tae, Hijikata or Madao. Even as a joke.

If he ends up with Tsukuyo, Tama or Kagura then I will be quite pleased.All other possibilities I'm impartial too.

And its not even that I'm against homo shipping and thats why I'm against a Hijikata pairing. I think its because of their canon relationship and the fact that the BL doujins often make Gin the bottom (which I just can't see - a lazy lover maybe but not a bottom). Plus the art always sucks, doesn't even look like them half the time. Its just put me off from the entire thing.

Has been mention as well. In any case the anon complaing the whole deal about equility or not I find it dumb, there has been jokes about female's genitals but not comparable to all the dick jokes there is.

The way I see it, it's that gorilla tries to avoid cliche fanservice or fanservice in general it even lacks sex appeal but that's how he makes fun of the girls in the show that they don't "attract any new fans to the show" because they are all boring looking woman and the main Heroine doesn't act like a main heroine.

>>153388714
>beruseruku Gura would be too OP and overshadow Gintoki, no?
I guess she would. Abuto mentions that Kagura is on par or has the ability to defeat Hosen which is almost on equal standing against Umibozou. Gin wouldn't be able to defeat Hosen without the help of Tsukki, Hyakka and the others too. Plus, I think there are already characters who overshadowed Gintoki. Jirocho for an example. (Especially on their first fight) Some people just think Gintoki is the most powerful character in the series just because he's the MC when in fact he got pretty much overshadowed by a few characters in terms of power creep.
>>
>>153393658
Looking fine there, Gintoki
>>
>>153390894
Pairing the yorozuya members together other than familial love feels wrong in general.
>>
>>153394606
This desu, feels even sadder that Gintoki and Kagura always get paired and Shinpachi is forgotten about
>>
>>153394785
I've seen a few people pairing Shinpachi and Kagura together and it feels like pairing a little sister to her older brother even though they aren't related.
>>
>>153394785
>>153394606
>>153395014

I'm the monster who casually ships Gin x Kagura, I just wanted to say that I acknowledge and appreciate the familial aspects of the Yorozuya and I fully understand that the chances of a pairing happening between any two of them is very unlikely. I have a daddy/daughter fetish though and honestly Gin and Kagura's relationship is one of the best I've ever seen in anime. Like the one dude said further up, Kagura slowly adopts some of his mannerisms and bad habits and I think she also has an influence on him too. He can be very doting and affectionate towards her despite also giving her a hard time and occasionally being tough with her. Obviously as far as canon goes its a platonic relationship but the degenerate part of my brain just can't help shipping them.

Why are most of the Gintama fan Mangas so Shoujo?

Because Gintama is actually pretty popular with girls.

Do not hate on the fujobucks.

Its because of them we have an anime

What? You think gay men create all the homo doujins and shit? Give me a minute to laugh.

Fudanshi exist but fujoshi are responsible for probably 90% of the yaoi/BL content.

Really up to you, but I'd personally recommend the anime. Some of the jokes just work better in animated form, and the VA job is just superb. The anime skips a few minor chapters, but at least one of them has been adapted as a 2-part OVA already.

I actually just fairly recently started watching the show,catching up with the series + watching released OVAs & films mere couple months ago, and it was helluva ride! No idea if I'd bothered to sit through the first season when it aired, but being able to marathon it all did make it easy to digest.

Few tips:
1) You should SKIP the first 2 episodes. Those are literally filler, as you prolly already noticed. Ep3 is the first REAL episode of the show.

2) The first 20-25 episodes or so are literally dedicated for introductions and mild foreshadowing. While not exactly terrible, that section is easily the "worst" the show has to offer. It starts picking up the pace after that, with the first ""recap"" episode being a lovely change of pace and example of the show's better humor. You get a first decent "serious" mini-arc around ep 40, which can be seen as an appetizer of things to come.

However, the show REALLY starts to kick up the pace and style after the first year, with the second season packing tons of cool, memorable chapters and way better production values to boot. The legendary "Benizakura" arc is pretty much the show's counterpart to Bleach's "Soul Society" arc, as in the part where everyone agrees shit really hits the fan and gets interesting. It will pretty much set the overall style of the show for the entire series afterwards, with small ups and downs between the arcs.

The arcs of Gintama are notably shorter than in typical Shounen series, which I think helps keeping them well paced and easier to watch too. Some are humorous, some more serious & action-packed, some half-half.
