Yes? I don't know about right now, but in 2008-2010 when I was a casual and thus in contact with other casuals, we/they fucking loved Gintama. It was like DtB-tier popular.

Come on now, anon, I just pointed out that people audibly disliking Gintama wasn't a recent turn of events by any means, you don't have to go all stupid on me.

So what is anyone else watching lately that you wish you started sooner? That's just how I feel about Gintama

Gintama hits it's full stride at around 101~ with the Shinsengumi Crisis. Those arcs in general had the best gags and action to mix in of the early episodes.

No thanks, we have enough useless people here. I would rather adopt literally anyone else on Gintama.

>>155699689
Well yeah I won't deny that it gets damned immature at times.

Even during the Yagyu arc, which could have been just a badass team battle, Gin and Kondo get stuck in the bathroom with two of their opponents because there's no TP. Which sounds childish and retarded, but goddammit it's a better episode than it has a right to be.

There's a lot of times you could say that, really.

I don't know, back in my day (8 years ago or so) everyone loved it. I guess it's newfags' fault.

Can anyone show me a decent guide to watching the drama centric arcs?

I found one on MAL, but I don't really trust it.

>>155699268
You know what? I just hit the anti-smoking episode, so I hate him even more now.

>>155700681
Drama-centric arcs aren't really the point, they're just part of it.

There's a lot of character introduction early that you will need, from like 3-25.

The 'first serious arc' Benizakura kicks in somewhere in the late 50s.

>>155700734
I've watched the first ~60 episodes, and I've had my fill of the comedy. I just want to see where the drama/plot goes.

>>155695964
And Gintama just references to this casual series.

>>155700681
Just watch everything starting from episode 3 on. I don't get what's with you fags and skipping around. If you don't have time for a 300+ episode series don't watch it then.

Even worse are the fags that constantly ask when it gets good.

>>155700797
See >>155700764

Because not everyone is interested in mindless comedy, but still find the underlying plot sort of interesting.

Reminder that Gintama gets good on 300 episode.

>>155700797
What is wrong with first 2 episodes?

>>155700868
They were just fun fuck-around celebrations for getting an anime, made for the manga readers

>>155700767
So?

>>155700764
Here are the list of the serious arcs in the series. Just google each arcs to see which episodes covers them.

Benizakura arc (Movie version is much better)
Shinsengumi in Crisis
Yoshiwara in Flames
Rokkaku Arc
Red Spider Arc
4 Devas arc
Kintoki arc
Thorny arc
Courtesan of the Nation arc
Beam Sword Style arc
Shinigami arc
Shogun Assassination arc
Farewell Shinsengumi arc

After FS arc the series is mostly focused on th serious stuff now. I highly suggest watching all the other episodes though since the comedy is what mostly makes it good. And some of the minor characters who only appeared in comedic episodes also appeared in the serious arcs.

>>155700685
Okita a best. Though I admit it's also satisfying to see him getting BTFO or humiliated by Gin and Kagura.

>>155701074
Thank you, anon.

I appreciate it.

I'll watch it all eventually, but it's really long, and I don't have all the time in the word, but I'd still like to see where the plot ends.

I never knew what's the story about this anime

I watched only 3 or 4 episodes and they were like 40 mins and I was like "naah nigga thats too much

Its funny yeah, but i still dont know whats the story behind all that

Is it me or is it just one guy with a massive hateboner on Gintama either because he hasn't watched it or because ti wasn't what he was promised it was and has made his life goal to shit on Gintama threads ?

>>155702231
Poor ignorant, almost literally gintama has no fill, and although this is comedy anime is much more serious than that fancy thing they call one piece.

>>155702285
It's because the fanbase is full of retards like you who act like there's no way someone won't like your favorite cartoon.

>>155702319
Almost all comedy animes are just filler, I'm not saying it's a bad thing per-se but it just gets kinda tiring after awhile. You need that character progression/ plot progression so things don't get to stale. Side stories that don't affect the overall story just won't do.

Any "serious" arc in gintama is fucking trash.
Characters just ramble on about their past and try to make you sad with stupid back and forth bant when you usually just want them to get this over with so we can go back to status quo humor episodes.

>>155703353
Catherine should be shot

>>155704474
Why because she's not pretty like Tsukki? Catherine is unique and interesting, she made the story a lot funnier too

>>155697346
I think we start to watch Gintama somewhere around episode 180~

Way back then, the early hundreds is binge watched alone for power level test. If you find this series funny, means your power level is high enough. yup, power levels, its waa~y back then.

I remember watching the star wars parody, Omyoudos using gintama balls for proxy combat, and many other things.
Tough scheduling become pretty hard nowadays. Everyone have graduate and work with their own schedule, one had weekend classes so no on weekend, one have night work, so no late night watching except on his holiday, and stuff.
