Go for it. Gintama is peak comedy and peak shonen drama. When it gets serious (in later parts) it's better than most of the popular shows. Every character is lovable and you bond with them over the shenanigans and crazy stuff they do. Then when the shit hits the fan it hits that much harder.
Gintama is exactly the kind of comedy I think you guys would love. Plus, it does so much more than just comedy. Sorachi, the mangaka behind Gintama, was voted Japan's favorite mangaka, even over Oda and Araki and Gintama is incredibly beloved over there. There's a lot of episodic comedy in the show but especially near the beginning. However, there are many mini-arcs with their own stories as well as major arcs that are still relatively short but impact the overarching story of the show. If you guys do decide to check it out, I'd recommend starting with EPISODE 3 in particular. The first two episodes are a special that is intended for manga readers and some of the jokes don't land as well if you aren't already familiar with the characters. The cast in Gintama is really strong, but there are a lot of character based jokes in the show that get funnier as you learn more about and become more attached to the characters themselves. It's my favorite anime actually :)
YES!! Gintama is such an incredible show. Not all of the jokes translate as well to English, but it never fails to make me happy. Same with Space Dandy hitting the exact same every rewatch.
Gintama is an anime that lasted for 15 years in the same group as One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, JoJo, etc., which is one of the groups called Shonen Jump Manga. This Gintama is not in other anime, but I often do parodies using other anime, Japanese current events and celebrities. Also, it's interesting and vulgar, and sometimes there are cool battles and moving scenes, so I seriously recommend it. It is also a work that you want to erase your memory and review, and it is a work that you want to see many times while having memories. I recommend you to take a look at all the stories.😂
Was not expecting this to show up anytime soon, this anime is by far one of the best there , definitely recommend you watch the 21 opening(and special ops) and the eds, Gintama is one of the best comedy/action anime out there for sure
Some funny out of pocket animes: Gintama (way too long though) Nichijou High school boy's daily lives Osamatsu-san Prison school Grand blue Hinamatsuri Detroit metal city Asibi asobase The way of the househusband Plastic nee-san Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto The Disastrous Life of Saiki K Konosuba
while gintama has some of the best humor in any comedy anime, its serious arc are good enough to rival most shounen! it gets really emotional sometimes too. highly recommend it :)
3:21 The character in that scene's voice actor is actually the same person that played Shinji's dad in Neon Genesis, Gintama makes funny references like that every episode (Well, not specifically Neon Genesis lol)
i love gintama its hella funny and when it gets serious it gets SERIOUS AND EMOTIONAL however u kinda have to know a lot about anime and japanese culture otherwise some jokes and references will fly straight through ur head absolutely recomend it but maybe after yall have watched a ton of other animes
Bro Gintama is my favorite anime all-time. I can rewatch those scenes multiple times and it'll always be funny. It is hilarious most times and serious sometimes but definitely an amazing watch.
The Gintama manga was published by Shonen Jump magazine, which also published Bleach, DBZ, HxH, One Piece, and a bunch of others, so copyright issues aren't too big a deal in the mamga, though they also make referencs to non-Jump manga as well. Not sure how it works with the different animation studios being involved though.
Utter chaos? Gintama? Whaaaaat? Gintama is so good lol, also y'all should check out the openings. Since we're talking about a big show, Bleach OPs reaction with the boys when?
Please bring back the Ado reactions, she released her Utattemita album last month and it’s an absolute banger!! It includes covers like Unravel and Godish which y’all have already reacted to so I think you’ll really love “Asihite Aishite Aishite” form the album ❤❤
They get license cuz it's shonen jump and even if it wasn't everyone loves Gorila-sensei (the author, who once said "Drawing manga is a pain, I want to be a cheesecake")
Bro, Gintama was never licenced for anything. They got copyright infringed, threatened and sued multiple times, they made mock apologies on the show and then a few weeks later, what do you know....they infringed the same exact ip they were sued from. The made the companies throw the towel and let that shit go is my guess.
Daily life of high school boys is a show I will recommend to watch. BTW Gintama is a show where you can see off brand versions of many other shows. Hell, they even off branded wii games, for more information watch the show.
They dont have the license for other anime so they always make a joke about how the anime might get cancelled and how sunrise (the studio) might get sued over that
Try watching Grandblue or Saiki K if you wanna try comedy anime. You can also try watching Golden Kamuy if you want an unhinged show with an actual good plot. Also, you should check out the ost from this show that is called Set an Orca To Kill an Orca.
I think it's a good work as good as the genre of Attack on Titan is different. The last that lasted for 15 years made me cry. You don't have any regrets! At first, it might be a good idea to see the opening and ending to explore the atmosphere!😂
If you guys react to the openings. try to find a playlist that has the p**nt/fail/ gintaman and other special versions in it. Edit: Gintama is about a world where aliens invaded 20 years ago and won. The main character is a former human soldier from that war and now lives as deadbeat oddjob in the alien-fied japan. You can think this show as the japanese South Park, mocking and parodying a lot of anime/games/pop culture in a sometimes vulgar way.
