Has Gintama dropped in quality for anyone else ever since they began the serious arc?
I preferred it when the writer stuck to comedy, because at this point it just feels like your generic Shounen where the protagonist wins through the power of friendship. Example being Kamui Vs Gintoki
Too many flashbacks.

Yeah, Sorachi's using all the cliches he's made fun of in the past, except this time he's playing them completely straight.
The only "humour" left in this show are the occasional dick jokes that are thrown in between battles, and those got old a few years ago already.
The Rakuyou arc was a complete shitfest. Also no comedy arcs between Farewell Shinsengumi arc and Rakuyou arc was a missed opportunity.
The current arc is actually pretty good though. Maybe because buzzkilller Utsuro hasn't had as much focus. God I fucking hate Utsuro
How close to the end it is?
I might aswell finish it after storming through 300 episodes if it is nearing a closure.
Gintama's strength has always been in comedy, imo.

No. I love serious arcs as much as comedy arcs. I love how it makes me both laugh and cry in the same minute. You have no heart so fuck you!

I always liked serious arcs more. But there were hardly any.

I thought it dropped in quality ever since the studio/director change
