As a relatively new comer to the series, I find it quite weird to watch the first season again. The cast feels still so rough and so green, and some of the set details of the series are not even introduced yet.

That being said, the first ""recap"" episode, ep25 I think, is still pure comedy gold, and the point where I think I truly fell in love with the show. It did get even better with the Benizakura Arc. The first Yoshiwara arc and the Four Devas arc were also some total highlights of the show.

And speaking of which, if you somehow haven't done so yet, do check the Benizakura movie adaptation. It's great.
Same with that other film, Yorozuya yo Eien Nare, ("Be forever Yorozuya").

>What's your favourite comedy arcor serious
don't know but i rewatch the otaku marathon arc and the elisabisu olanet arc every now and then
> seriou sarc
the kabukichou arc (1st arc from s2)

The Monkey Hunter arc is good entertainment. Otsuu arc, the one where they all want a Wii, the dating sim game arc etc are all good.

>>160992589
my favourite comedic arc was the funeral episode
my favourite serious arc was Yoshiwara in flames

also: maybe it's just me but I feel like the Shinsengumi becomes more prominent with each Banizakura adaptation;
I don't think they even were in the Anime
then they were put into the animated-movie as a side-note
then they were actually put into the fight during the live action movie(?)
if they make a Yoshiwara in Flames or any other LA Gintama-movie they'll probably insert the Shinsengumi where they haven't been before

Japan sure has a hard-on for those guys

>>160994903
IIRC, Okita and Hijikata are the number 2 and 3 in popularity. Or at least were at some point.

Anyway, I'd expect a sequel movie to go with the Shinsengumi betrayal arc since that would actually allow them to focus on the shinsengumi, and the only character they'd need to add in would be Katsura, since Takasugi is in that story too.

Afterwards though, it gets harder. Adding the shinsengumi to the Yoshiwara in flames arc for example would make it necessary to actually change the story significantly in order to add them, not just replace standard troops/police with the Shinsengumi.

>>161006283
>Courtesan of a Nation Arc
wtf people actually liked this crap ? It's has to be one of the dullest, cheapest, most retarded bullshit arc. Why do Nips get so hard about filthy whores ? Why do they systematically feel the need to portray them as majestic, proud, dignified people ? And don't even get me started on the forced drama. Probably one of the lowers points the series reached, which is a shame because this arc has so many great elements (Kagura's freakout, Kamui's comeback, new antagonists...)

>>160998452
>New season starts this fall. They're even going to adapt some of the arcs they skipped originally.
Wow, source on this? Didn't expect them to come back so soon. Is it just the skipped chapters or will they do the final arc as well?

You're right

>>161007711
I thought so. I actually agree that Yoshiwara in Flames is a bit overrated and drawn-out. Courtesan of a Nation was pretty good though. It had good action, it introduced Oboro, and I was genuinely moved and upset by the little old man with no arms.

Comedy arc: Well, there's a lot of favorite
Serious arcs: Yoshiwara in Flames, Four Devas, Courtesan of a Nation etc...

>>160993848
>Otsuu arc
This one is so underrated

Episodes 150-151 (Shogun gets a haircut) are really funny, as well as the popularity poll arc, episode 217 (Yorozuya goes to the pool), harem arc, episode 89 (zangetsu bleach parody), the episode where Kagura can't sleep, the one where Gintoki and Hijikata get handcuffed together, and the episode with Takatin are all great to rewatch. As for serious arcs, I like Yoshiwara in Flames, Courtesan of a Nation, and the Yagyu Kyuubei arc. 4 Devas is good too just for the fight between Gintoki and Jiricho.

>>161009328
>and the Yagyu Kyuubei arc
This one rarely gets mentioned but I love it. It was really funny while still being a serious, battle arc. Best thing about it was how the cast all got to fight an enemy who was the perfect foil for them. Hijikata's mayonnaise obsession VS ketchup guy, Kondo's stalker persona VS Kyuubei's stalker-ish retainer in the legendary toilet paper episode. I really love that arc.

Does anyone else get really emotional thinking about Gintoki? The dude had such a shitty life, having to scavenge off of dead bodies to survive, and then being forced to kill the only guy who took care of him and treated him like an actual kid and losing his friends in the process when he was only 15. Then he went to jail and got tortured and shit, and almost starved to death, and even now, he has problems with alcohol and gambling and money. All his friends are dead, terrorists, or a homeless guy. He's got fucking PTSD or whatever, but he still acts happy and is a good dad. I just want this dude to get some closure and maybe Zoloft or something. Tell me I'm not the only one, /a/.

>>160992589
best comedy arc is the Character Poll Arc (182-184)

best serious arc is the 2nd Yoshiwara arc (177-181)

and yes, I am well aware they are back to back. Best 8 consecutive episodes in all of Gintama

>>161012102
>I'll never understand why Gintama gets so little attention when it's not airing
Because it's relatively poorly known outside of the Japan and the truly HC animu-followers in west, and most people don't truly devote time to actively follow manga publications either. Some on the other hand don't want to spoil their anime by reading manga / -threads.

That being said, we just had a THREE DAYS long Gintama thread last month. When the time and stars are right, it happens. The release of the live-action movie and the upcoming new season were definitely big boosts at the time.

>>161013098
I just wonder what it is that makes Gintama unpopular among the masses. I often hear people saying it's too much of an investment, what with nearly 300 episodes out. But that can't be right, because One Piece, Naruto and Bleach get regular, huge threads. As any Gintama fan will know, once you get stuck in, you start fearing the day you watch the last episode, you're not thinking "god, this is a long drag".
My other theory is that there's just not much to talk about. Gintama has no power-level bullshit to argue about, no real important plot most of the time to discuss. In the end, threads just boil down to "what's your favorite episode/arc" and people agreeing or disagreeing. There's just not that much to talk about. If you love it, you love it, if you don't, you don't bother posting.

>>161012757
You said it, anon. Even though sometimes there can be shitposters (but still pretty rare these last times), they are very decent

It's ''too Japanese'' for general westerners. Also a Jump-otaku parody factory.

If you're already at least moderately into anime & Jap culture/history, most things in it will fly over your head. And together with the kinda ''meh'' and slow start of the show, there's this initial barrier on Gintama that I believe most of the modern ''I want the good shit, NOW!'' -audience to not bother to try and break thru'.

it may come as a shock to you, but even 4chan of all places more or less reflects on "normies" of the big world out there. New generations will and do find these places, all the time, and only the big blockbusters and greatest cult-hits will really remain afloat in the stream of time.

It does not help that Gintama is quite a hit or miss series, and one of the few examples I know where the old and busted "3 episode rule" REALLY does not work at all.

>>161007408
>Why do Nips get so hard about filthy whores ? Why do they systematically feel the need to portray them as majestic, proud, dignified people ?

Because yuros are fucking prudes and there's nothing wrong with selling entertainment. Sex is a very small part of the courtesan role, they're expected to be well educated in literature, music and dance. Its like renting out the perfect waifu for a night before you have to go back to your awful illiterate breeding sow.

>>161016316
Gengai must keep his promise

>>161012327
Maybe but it really doesn't show because after each serious arc the conclusion ends with gin already knowing what to do and shoving some bullshit about his past, he didn't learn anything (aside from new relationships) and his choices wouldve been the same through the entire series, he didn't go through any drastic experience to change his outlook on something

>>161016811
Speaking of "yuros", I Wonder if Gintabros Who come regularly on The threads are generally eurofags (like me) or Americans
Knowing that we're not too much on them

The last arc in the manga is the second worst thing to ever happen to Gintama, just behind the change of studio to BNP alongside losing Fujita as director of the anime

>>161018852
Aren't you happy it's the last arc?
Unlike one piece and Bleach which got artificially extended

>>161018852
Let me guess; just because about how it became "boring, shounenshit garbage"?
If it's this, it doesn't even bothers me anymore since mostly everyone is bitching about this in the threads.

>>161019196
>>161019147
Not quite because its just shounen trash, but its reusing a lot of tropes that's already been used a fuck ton in shogun assassination arcs

Once every few chapter it pulls a "character probably dies" cliffhanger to just reveal they are not dead and sorachi keeps reusing it and it gets really boring.

Watch the Patriot episode and the Hasegawa and the emotional Hasegawa episode with the kid.
For arcs though, Four Devas.

>>161019294
Because Sorachi would have totally killed off fan favorite Takasugi...
But he already killed off some characters

Rakuyo is more of my personal favorite, the fights were on point, and I liked how we got to see more Banzai, who I really hoped to have more sceentime.

Also, I'd also say the Farewell Shinsengumi Arc is another favorite arc of mine, since I feel like it does a good job building from the Shogun Assassination Arc. Also, the Shinsengumi are pretty cool guys

every thread, popularity arc

>>161021704
I loved how we got to see more Banzai too, I love him thanks to that arc. But the animation and art was frequently off (although beautiful at times) and the fights were too shounen-y. Plot armour and whatnot.

It had kinda nice in between comedy segments alongside the serious moments, some of the initial chapters of the arc were also pretty comedy based, now it's getting to the climax of the series with them finishing the spaceship and then probably go straight to the final fight on earth, seeing that Gin already met with Utsuro there, tho, I kinda agree that this spaceship thing got quite prolonged, but it was necessary build up to be honest

>>161036448
This. Some people don't understand that this is the final straight line now

What are your predictions for the future chapters?

>>161038803
The deal with the spaceship is dealt with soon, and then everything goes straight to Utsuro and co on earth

>>161035401

to be fair Kouka lived alone- nobody else wanted to put up with the giant worm-monsters
she was also influenced by the Altana and we can see with Utrsuro that it apparently makes you super strong

if we go by strongest members of their race I am not sure hedoro would win against Kamui
it would be an interesting fight for sure

Finally getting back into Gintama after a while, thought it got too serious but I wanna give it another go. Just wondering when I should watch those new OVAs?

>>161045525
Somewhere in between 2015 season, just after courtesan of a nation arc

Currently on, like, episode 15

Was told by a friend that it gets good around episode 100...nigga, how is that a selling point?

Rewatching this from the very beginning for the first time in years is really weird. Usually when I get the urge to watch some Gintama I pick an arc I liked and rewatch that. But there's a lot of stuff in the first episodes I sort of forgot about.

Amanto are all over the place, even though they're completely forgotten about later on in the series.
There's a police force that pops up every now and then, while later on the Shinsengumi become the main police force and no other "regular" police force really exists.
There appears to be a plotline/character arc for Kagura where she initially doesn't speak very good Japanese, but that gets forgotten about later on as well.
And I forgot that Hasegawa was like one of the highest ranking members of the goverment, being the head of Amanto affairs etc. I remembered him as being a government official, but not someone that high up. They made remarks about him that made him out to be really famous and everything.

Weird seeing everything from the beginning again, knowing what the series develops into later on. I should've done a complete rewatch years ago.

>>161046307
I wouldn't say 100 episodes. It's a well-known fact that the 3-episode rule doesn't apply to Gintama. It's generally agreed upon that you need to watch the first 25 episodes in order to get into the swing of things.
The fact is that Gintama is like an ensemble cast show and those first 25 episodes all introduce new characters and jokes that are the building blocks for things to come. Give it another 10 episodes, anon. Soon enough you're gonna worry about running OUT of episodes to watch.

>>161046307
Go ahead, man. You don't know what you miss!
>>161046484
Heh, maybe later I should do some Gintama reruns as well

Gintamaverse seems like a pretty nice place to live in come to think of it. You get all the pleasures of Edo Japan (courtesans, samurai lore, gambling, drinking) but with the addition of modern day technology like television and mobile phones and sex robots (Tama). It's weird how a mash-up of Edo era Japan and science fiction worked out as well as it did

Friendly reminder that Kondo started to like Otae because she said that an hairy butt would not stop her to like a man.

>>161048953
I love that that's his whole motivation for being obsessed with Otae. Finally, someone who wouldn't reject him for his insane amount of ass hair. Even though Otae was just doing her job and being nice to a costumer by saying it wouldn't bother her.
Kondo could have gone to any other girl in that place and they'd have been contractually obliged to say the same thing.

Gintama is a Japanese national treasure. It should never be allowed to end. I am looking forward to unadapted chapters.

I like the serious episodes/arcs as much as everyone else, but the last three or so seasons have been nothing but. I want the silly comedy back.

I wonder how popular is Gintama in your country. In France, there is no dub, the manga is at 45 issues and the numbers of fans can be moderate to slightly high (sometimes)

The start of Gintama was a real trudge, but after character introductions were finished, it was one of the funniest anime for me. Up there with Arakawa Under the Bridge and Nichibros.

>>161079937
Those who really enjoy Gintama, are the ones who were able to hang on the cliff. (The difficult start)

>>161079937
Sorachi really took his time of worldbuilding and playing with his characters

>>161027239
>>161026342
Unlikely.
The balding gene is X-chromosome exclusive.
Since Papa gave him his Y-chromosome, he won't go bald. Unless either 1 or both of Mama's X-chromosomes were also baldy-genes, then he's still fucked, but we don't know that and should just assume it's not the case.

>>161080531
>implying actual genetics get considered when making character designs etc in manga/anime

How come both Kamui and Kagura got red hair when that is recessive and Umibozu got black hair. Sorachi can still make Kamui bald for the joke and I seriously hope he does.

>>161080667
Because while Umibouzo has a dominant black gene, he can ALSO have a recessive red hair gene. It's a 50/50 crapshot whether his kids have red or black hair that way, and a 25% chance both his children had red hair. Not too unlikely.

maybe it's because they're pirates but they don't seem to have any issue taking orders from a brat/a woman

But she made it clear that she will wait for him and she doesn't have feelings for Kyuubei anyways. I think Kyuubei would be upset but wouldn't stand in their way.

>>161091389
do you read the manga?

>>161090197
This October there's a new season airing, but it's going to adapt the skipped chapters and maybe do some fillers
And the SS arc might not airs until Spring or Summer 2018
So my advice, is that you should read the manga

>>161091447
Kinda. I know what happens in general but I skipped some chapters. I know Kondo isn't confirmed dead btw, if that's why you're asking.

Okay do like you want, anon
+ This is my favorite Gura outfit btw, she's so cute and stunning in this one

How in the actual fuck are all of the Kiheitai not dead yet in this current arc, the amount of wounds they have is ridiculous. Same can almost be said for Katsura and Sakamoto.

Feels like there's no tension anymore compared to previous arcs cause basically everyone survives stupidly large attacks.

Characters in Gintama surviving attacks they shouldn't survive by logic is pretty much a standard for this series for years, so I don't get why you are complaining about it just now. Not sure how you got this far into this manga if that fact bothers you that much because that happens in any big serious arc.

Speaking of "Kiheitai", do you guys think that Matako should be ded?

>>161090509
If anything the Love Potion arc shipped them more, and her making paces with herself about him may just be Sorachi ruses, but who knows

>>161096128
Nah, Kihetai already suffered many loses

Doctor here, It'll be ok, you just probably drank too much Fanda grape and its trying to leave your body, I wouldn't worry about it.

Gintama it´s a shit when comes to serious arc,but when comes to comedy it´s great.

I agree and I disagree. Some of the serious arcs are very great; you cannot deny it.

Heh, Sorachi could be totally able to do that

New chapter fucking when?

>>161102432
There was no chapter this week, so next Thursday.

Just downloaded a bunch of gintama and watched the first minute of the first episode. It's so bad, when does it get good?

Just watched 2 seconds of a random Gintama OVA.

When does it get good?

>>161103755
Deleted the show. Superiority in anons makes someone want to watch a show with a cringey cast of characters doesn't it?

>>161103605
The first two episodes are forgettable fillers, you should have begin at episode 3

>>161095771
It's been present before sure, but its happening every few chapters now, surely you've seen it way more noticeable. Previous arcs maybe had 1 or 2 moments where Gintoki survived bullshit, but now everyone gets the treatment it seems

I hope Nobunobu survives and gets married and he gets cucked on his wedding night by Kamui and has to raise his redhaired bastard child
And everyone knows and makes fun of him behind his back

Jump was on break because of Obon, so spoilers should actualy be out earlier this week.

>>161112044
Thanks anon

>>161112044
>spoilers
not if the Chinese beat us to it again
It feels like Chinese scans always came out before any spoilers came out

>>161110949
Them becoming frenemies was a really good decision on Sorachi's part.

>>161112991
Oh, my bad. Recently due to some rumored changes (Shueisha stopping early shipment to certain areas and some mods of Japanese spoilers sites supposedly getting arrested), we mostly get the Chinese scanlation out before any spoilers get posted at all. Then again I am glad the Chinese seem to have a hard on for Gintama, meaning we get the series relatively fast.

>>161113021
>frenemies
Tsukky just wants a friend and Sa-chan is jealous
Tsukky either tries to ignore Sa-chan being an asshole or sa-chan is too far out there

>>161113065
I wonder if the LA-movie is already out in China
if they love Gintama that much it must make more than in Japan

>>161113069
The frenemy side is more one-sided on Sacchan's part, but then again any Gintama friendship is vitriolic in nature, I mean just look at the Yorozuya.

>>161113102
I actually couldn't find any info whether the movie is already released in China, but I won't be surprised if that is gonna be happening very soon. Korea as well, because while it may nt be as big as in China, it's still very popular there too.

>>161113201
Maybe the Chinese have to censor it first

So do you think the final season will be >25 eps?

>>161113550
I sure hope so. The chapter count we have already would make for over 25 episodes already, if we go by 3-4 chapters per episode quota. Plus we don't know how many chapters it'll be until we reach the end. Bur first and foremost, I don't want them to rush the adaptation or have QUALITY animation.

>>161113665
And according to you, the airing of the new season (SS arc) might start when?

>>161114236
Well, first the Porori arc is gonna be airing in fall. That means SS arc could possibly start in January as the earliest possible date.

>>160992589
Which anime I should watch before start gintama?

>>161114655
Why not simply watch Gintama first?

>>161114655
Rick and Morty

Since the LA movie was clearly a success, what arc do you want they adapt, if they decided to make another one?
