the protagonist of it, gintoki, is my favourite fictional character of all time!! he's just too funny but also when he gets serious, his inspirational quotes help me so much with my life
This video just got recommended to me because I obsessively watch Gintama reactions and I'm excited to watch this kne tomorrow when I'm supposed to be working. Happy birthday bro!
I remember watching Gintama openings before ever seeing the show and i fell in love with them. Then i got to op21 and i felt so sad watching it though i hadn’t even seen it 😭 That just goes to show Spyair knew how to make a song feel final. Im so glad i binged this years ago because its been in my top 3 ever since
Oh yeah I feel you that’s exactly how I felt as well the last opening was bittersweet fs! And I can’t wait to check this show out myself I know it’s gon be goated !
This is the optimal anime. Best comedy, best action, best emotional moments. You will laugh, cry, be invested in the characters as you see them go through their daily lives. It has an amazing over arching story, everything ties in such well as the series progress. Its mostly comedy, but its what carries the show, without the comedy episodes the serious episodes wont hit the same. On a side note react to gintama endings. They are absolute bangers and many of them are better than a lot of openings.
Gintama is a kind of an unexpected and absurd masterpiece. It's so unique that no other show ever managed to come close. Gintama comedy is genius, the characters are amazing and the story is very well-written. The same bunch of lovable idiots get into all sorts of unpredictable situations with the most absurd humor known to humanity and random references sprinkled on top. And you laugh like never before And then the drama hits you like a truck, and your idiots no longer can afford themselves to act like ones, and all the little pieces and hints of the overarching story and characters' past that have been dropped over the episodes become relevant. By the end you really start to miss the humour even if it seemed weird in the beginning Gintama is truly one of a kind. It's my absolute favorite anime of all time, no other show made me feel SO many emotions
Gintama, the deadpool of anime. it is vulgar, brutal, bloody and sometimes hard to understand if you are unfamiliar with anime or japanese culture. But it's also funny, heartwarming, heartbreaking and just so self-aware. Not to mention the constant 4th wall breaking. Definitely deadpool 😂 it's not everyone's cuppa tea but when it is, it's the best thing ever.
When the mc walk off and wave goodbye in the last opening, you asked "where are the other? Are they die?", but you forgot to ask "where are you going? Are you okay?" 😉
It’s always funny seeing people surprised by the alien invasion but there have been Aliens right from the jump, probably op1 or 2 had flying ships. Great reaction though, Gintama is easily one of my favorite shows, it has it all , action ,comedy ,politics and drama . What a show!
This is series my god is a beast this anime is in itself a separate entity a lot of fourth wall breaking and almost spoofing a lot of anime's if not the whole anime industry
I fucking love Gintama, and have for years now. This got recommended to me just now, and I cant wait to watch it. Sadly I don't have time to watch the whole thing right now, so I have ti wait lol
One of the few where I watched and laughed to tears! Also, very lovable characters! Absolute Favorite character is Zura (and Elisabeth since they're a package deal tbh)
I don't know and don't care another people said Attack on titan, One piece, Dragon ball etc. be the best anime But for me Gintama be the best of the best anime If Gintama be like food this anime a lot of flavors, mix together~
I'm back, and happy late birthday! And too bad about the copyright, I wish we could hear you talk even if the music is muted:( I even went to your Patreon to see if I could not just watch it there, but I'm not paying 75.00 NOK(my currency) to watch maybe one video. If only 😅I was richer lol And Gintama is totally worth a watch, but do not expect much. I know that is a bit contradicting, but Gintama is the kind of show you start out watching for the simple joy of just having something to watch. It's slow going, and the focus is the characters, not the plot(but there is a plot). The manga(for the most part) is the kind of manga some might read on the bus, or when you have a bit of downtime. A Garfield strip, if you will, but more. The anime is the kind of show that had very little budget, but the anime team really worked hard and made it work despite the trouble from higher-ups, and it shows. You almost feel connected to the anime team because Gintama breaks the fourth wall a lot and they use the lovable characters to complain lol Basically, Gintama is a comedy with a lot of heart and soul. You watch it for the characters, and the plot slowly weaves itself in and out, you won't even notice it sometimes until you re-watch the show. Been in my top 3 for years now, despite me not having finished the show. And the only reason I have not finished the show is because I don't want it to end.
Welcome back! And Thank you ! And I know I was trying to keep as much as I could in there but UA-cam really killed me w this one 😭and no worries about the Patreon thanks for atleast checking out my vid on here ! Yeah everyone has had nothing but great things to say about Gintama I’m def excited to check it out ! I don’t blame you about not wanting it to end that last opening almost brought a tear to my eye and I haven’t even seen the show 😭
@@RandombagofchipsGintama has good endings too if you wanna check that out, I would definitely watch. It will probably have same copyright issues tho, just a heads up. It also has special/gag openings(2-3 endings as well) that I am pretty sad was not included 😂 Its always funny when reactors are going in blind and suddenly the paint version come up, or one or more of that characters crashes when riding the scooter😅
@@kunilsen2519 yeah everybody seemed to enjoy the openings reaction I’ll def be doing the endings as well! Yeah! A couple people mentioned the gag openings but I guess crunchyroll didn’t include them in the list I used sadly 😭 The show looks insane thou def not what I was expecting at all but I enjoyed every minute of it 😂
I'm a simple man. I see Gintama reaction, I like and subscribe. Some points, no actual spoilers: - the "baddies in black" are basically cops - yes the trio get hired to do odd iobs - it's a comedy series first and an everything else series second - yes, ppl die (won't say who tho) - it's really, really good (my favorite show in over 20 years and 200+ shows) - it's really, really long, and also not nearly long enough - its a little slow to ramp, and very episodic at first, turning into a full power story later - it defies genre definition, but the comedy is there to make you care about the characters so later you are invested when the stuff goes down
"Who did we piss off to get like this" A suicidal immortal with multiple personality disorder 😂 Thats the most non spoilerish way I can thibk to put that, rofl. I love this series. Its been my favorite for 14 years, and gotten me through so many hard times. This series is over, I balled like a baby at the ending when it came out. Gintama essentially follows the life of Sakata Gintoki (Age 27/29) an ex samurai trying to survive by running an odd jobs business after losing the war against the Amanto (Aliens) who essentially gets strapped with two kids (Kagura *red hair, 14 yrs) and (Shinpachi, glasses, 16 yrs) who go on all these whacky jobs together. The jobs create the large cast while a more depressing storyline subtly runs through the background up until around the last 100 episodes of the series where it takes a dark and serious head ( there are dark and serious arcs throughout, but it definetly jumps into an extremely painful story at the end) its a beautiful story and I hope if you watch it you do a reaction. Although unfortunately the reactions dont get a lot of views 😢
I was gonna say we went from chilling to whole planet just getting invaded 😭 Honestly, it sounds like an amazing anime and story! I’ll def be checking it out possibly even doing reactions but I’ll def be watching it !
Warning: Long post haha Gintama is goated, but unfortunately it's difficult to get into. It has 360+ episodes. Movie 1 is a re-animation of the 1st serious arc + additional scenes. Movie 2 was an alternate ending because they thought the anime would be cancelled. Movie 3 is the finale. Imo, the 2 live action movies and the mini live action series are top tier, especially with the limited fan base and limited budget. The live action encapsulated the soul of the series. (1) It's 80% comedy, which seamlessly switches to drama, mystery, suspense, thriller, action and tragedy. But comedy is its bread and butter, and comedy is subjective. It's a dated show (early 2000s), and it's author is even older than that. So the early season's comedic topics and sense of humor are pretty dated as well. Only in latter seasons do the show's jokes and parodies more recent pop culture and animes. If you can't jive with the comedy, unfortunately you won't enjoy the show. Only watching the serious and action arcs won't give you the same emotional payback if you're not invested in their day-to-day lives. (2) You have to have watched the popular shounen animes out there such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto and Bleach. You might also need to be aware of japanese pop culture and traditions to understand some of the context. Gintama's comedy heavily relies on parodying popular animes and pop culture, and making fun of the anime/manga industry. (3) You have to be fine with a main character who will never be the strongest in this universe. Gintoki is flawed and ambitionless, but that's what makes him great. He won't fight for himself, for his own wants, or for his own ambitions (because he has none). But he will fight for others. If he thinks the fight is nonsense, or he doesn't believe the fight is worth fighting, he'll just run away. Only when he believes on what he's fighting for and is strong in his conviction will he fight. The cast is large and diverse. Gintoki will never be the strongest fighter among them, but he remains the heart and soul of the series. None of the characters (except one) gives a shit about being the strongest fighter in this show. (4) You have to be fine with a large cast where they all have depth. The story rarely evolves around Gintoki and our main trio. Most of the time, they are the supporting actors in someone else's story. Sometimes, you won't even see Gintoki in the episodes; he'll just cameo. Only when Gintoki has given so much to others, was he worthy of the loyalty and devotion of the side characters. This is what makes the show great, but I understand that it's not for everyone's taste. (5) You have to be fine with an episodic style of storytelling. Most stories last for only 1 episode. Arcs with 2-3 episodes pop up once in awhile. Serious arcs last for 6 episodes. The last segment of the series is a 30-ish serious arc, but they still didn't drop the comedy. I think you should watch 1second of every Gintama episode. There's enough there to show how chaotic, stupid and funny this show is without spoiling you. It would also gauge if you think the comedy is to your taste or piques your interest. I suggest avoiding watching the top fight scenes. It is full of spoilers and would diminish the emotional payback if you do decide to commit to watching the series. If you do commit to watching this show, only do so if you truly enjoy it. The Gintama fanbase is small, but loyal. But most of us can feel when a reactor isn't interested or is not liking Gintama for what it is. It is not trying to be like Dragon Ball, One Piece, Bleach or Naruto. But for me, this show is the only show that I loved the power of friendship trope. Because Gintoki is worth it.
Wow thanks so much for the in-depth response I love the passion! So far everyone thats enjoys gintama LOVES it which saids a lot to me really it’s definitely a show I’m extremely interesting In watching and from what you detailed it def seems right up my alley and I love the gintama fandom so far you guys are amazing ! 🫡
@@Randombagofchips I understand if Gintama isn't to someone's taste. But everyone who loved the comedy and lasted until the 1st serious arc (which was ep58-61, then reanimated as Movie 1) all have nice things to say about the show. Even if someone likes the show, we understand if people take a break from it, because it is 360+ episodes hahaha
@@jakeDgirl yeah especially by todays standard and pacing a lot of the older shows def aren’t for everyone but I enjoy those longer slower paced shows especially when they’re done well! Gintama sounds like a very complete serious im excited to watch it !
Slight addition: you don't have to have watched all of the older anime completely. If you know the rough story and watched a bit of it it's usually enough to understand what they're referencing
@@Randombagofchips But its a comedy that will be understood mostly by experienced anime fans or native Japanese people, so its definitely not for everyone. Just like Eminence in Shadow.
@@Randombagofchips Eminence is top tier self aware edge fest with the MC being definitely crazy. I first found it as a manga and its a rare case when manga made me laugh extra hard with every single chapter!
I like how you noticed it's all cloudy in OP 5. The song title is "donten" which indeed means a cloudy sky in Japanese. The serious mood in that OP fits in very much with the current arc x) Don't believe in all the OPs. Some of them are scams cuz what you see isn't what's actually happening in the episodes with that OP 🤣 I wanted to hear your reaction to OP 13 so bad 😭 Isn't there anywhere I can see that for free? 😢 I hope we can at least hear your comments even if you muted only the song instead cuz I can hear the songs going on without actually 'listening' to it but I cannot hear you saying 🥲 I think you can do it like other reactors for your next videos, where they put a very low volume or just mute the song like *during* the editing in advance before uploading, so that at least what they're saying can be heard (since that's the important part) instead of muting the entire section where it got copyright, in which you only know after uploading videos 😊 But anyway dudeee I really love your reaction ❤ There really are not a single bad OP in Gintama openings 😭 They're either okay, good, bangers , or absolute absolute bangers 😌😆 My fav ones are OP 1, 4, 5, 12, 13, 15, 17 and 21 but I LOVE all the other openings as well ❤️🩹 Your video got recommended to me by YT 4 days after lol. I wished I can watch this 4 days before so I can wish you a happy birthday :) Well, happy belated birthday! 🥳 You definitely gotta check the endings! If these openings already got you like this, then you won't last in the endings 🤣 Also have some, if not a lot bangers! Gintama... It's just really something. It's not your usual shounen anime even it is categorised as shounen, but it's really just a journey. It's not for everyone, but once Gintama clicks with you, you WILL get invested in the rides. You can expect SoL, sitcom, parody and comedy (mainly), and heart-warming stuffs, with a spice of seriousness on the side. Honestly, you will be glad it got a lot of episodes cuz you don't want it to end. Gintama is and will always be my fav anime ever, special in my heart ❤ P/s: If anyone ever recommend(ed) to you to react to to their top fights, pls don't do it. Watching their serious fights will honestly give you false hope when you start Gintama.
I know I know I messed up and forgot to split the audio tracks so it was all on one track unfortunately 😭but going forward I’ve made sure everything is split now so I can’t just mute the openings and have my voice come through! I agree all the openings are other bangers or banger bangers! 😂 and no worries thank you for the happy birthday! And for checking out the video! I will def be doing the endings soon! I can’t wait I know they’re going to slap! And I can’t wait to start watching either! I did have a couple people tell me to checkout the fights but I won’t! I rather go in blind!

I love this series. Its been my favorite for 14 years, and gotten me through so many hard times. This series is over, I balled like a baby at the ending when it came out.
Gintama essentially follows the life of Sakata Gintoki (Age 27/29) an ex samurai trying to survive by running an odd jobs business after losing the war against the Amanto (Aliens) who essentially gets strapped with two kids (Kagura *red hair, 14 yrs) and (Shinpachi, glasses, 16 yrs) who go on all these whacky jobs together.

Although unfortunately the reactions dont get a lot of views 😢
I was gonna say we went from chilling to whole planet just getting invaded 😭
Honestly, it sounds like an amazing anime and story! I’ll def be checking it out possibly even doing reactions but I’ll def be watching it !
Warning: Long post haha
Gintama is goated, but unfortunately it's difficult to get into. It has 360+ episodes. Movie 1 is a re-animation of the 1st serious arc + additional scenes. Movie 2 was an alternate ending because they thought the anime would be cancelled. Movie 3 is the finale. Imo, the 2 live action movies and the mini live action series are top tier, especially with the limited fan base and limited budget. The live action encapsulated the soul of the series.
(1) It's 80% comedy, which seamlessly switches to drama, mystery, suspense, thriller, action and tragedy. But comedy is its bread and butter, and comedy is subjective. It's a dated show (early 2000s), and it's author is even older than that. So the early season's comedic topics and sense of humor are pretty dated as well. Only in latter seasons do the show's jokes and parodies more recent pop culture and animes. If you can't jive with the comedy, unfortunately you won't enjoy the show. Only watching the serious and action arcs won't give you the same emotional payback if you're not invested in their day-to-day lives.
(2) You have to have watched the popular shounen animes out there such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto and Bleach. You might also need to be aware of japanese pop culture and traditions to understand some of the context. Gintama's comedy heavily relies on parodying popular animes and pop culture, and making fun of the anime/manga industry.
(3) You have to be fine with a main character who will never be the strongest in this universe. Gintoki is flawed and ambitionless, but that's what makes him great. He won't fight for himself, for his own wants, or for his own ambitions (because he has none). But he will fight for others. If he thinks the fight is nonsense, or he doesn't believe the fight is worth fighting, he'll just run away. Only when he believes on what he's fighting for and is strong in his conviction will he fight. The cast is large and diverse. Gintoki will never be the strongest fighter among them, but he remains the heart and soul of the series. None of the characters (except one) gives a shit about being the strongest fighter in this show.
(4) You have to be fine with a large cast where they all have depth. The story rarely evolves around Gintoki and our main trio. Most of the time, they are the supporting actors in someone else's story. Sometimes, you won't even see Gintoki in the episodes; he'll just cameo. Only when Gintoki has given so much to others, was he worthy of the loyalty and devotion of the side characters. This is what makes the show great, but I understand that it's not for everyone's taste.
(5) You have to be fine with an episodic style of storytelling. Most stories last for only 1 episode. Arcs with 2-3 episodes pop up once in awhile. Serious arcs last for 6 episodes. The last segment of the series is a 30-ish serious arc, but they still didn't drop the comedy.
I think you should watch 1second of every Gintama episode. There's enough there to show how chaotic, stupid and funny this show is without spoiling you. It would also gauge if you think the comedy is to your taste or piques your interest. I suggest avoiding watching the top fight scenes. It is full of spoilers and would diminish the emotional payback if you do decide to commit to watching the series.
If you do commit to watching this show, only do so if you truly enjoy it. The Gintama fanbase is small, but loyal. But most of us can feel when a reactor isn't interested or is not liking Gintama for what it is. It is not trying to be like Dragon Ball, One Piece, Bleach or Naruto. But for me, this show is the only show that I loved the power of friendship trope. Because Gintoki is worth it.

But everyone who loved the comedy and lasted until the 1st serious arc (which was ep58-61, then reanimated as Movie 1) all have nice things to say about the show. Even if someone likes the show, we understand if people take a break from it, because it is 360+ episodes hahaha
@@jakeDgirl yeah especially by todays standard and pacing a lot of the older shows def aren’t for everyone but I enjoy those longer slower paced shows especially when they’re done well! Gintama sounds like a very complete serious im excited to watch it !
Slight addition: you don't have to have watched all of the older anime completely. If you know the rough story and watched a bit of it it's usually enough to understand what they're referencing
0:03 The first option was correct, since its G like great and not J like some unfunny Joke!
Thanks for clearing that up !
18:29 wth I think or maybe among gintama op reactors, you're the first one to get what these trio are doing 😂
Haha yeah I kept seeing them in the same like little office then they’d be out doing some random stuff 😂
My favorite anime LFGOOO
Goated fr fr !
Love mostly all the opening but never watched the show, i tried and stop after some episode.
Yeah I heard it not for everybody but the openings are def bangers!
Most likely greatest comedy series of all time + it even has Jackie Chan so its definitely not wort watching XD
Wait what?? That’s wild 😂I never knew it was a comedy but after watching the op it makes sense they wild!
@@Randombagofchips But its a comedy that will be understood mostly by experienced anime fans or native Japanese people, so its definitely not for everyone. Just like Eminence in Shadow.
@@ilmaripajola4387 oh I see I gotcha I’ll still be checking it out it looks like a good time ! And oh I heard eminence in shadow also really good 🤔
@@Randombagofchips Eminence is top tier self aware edge fest with the MC being definitely crazy. I first found it as a manga and its a rare case when manga made me laugh extra hard with every single chapter!
@@ilmaripajola4387 say less I’ll check it out as well! Sounds great 😂
Finally

Happy birthday gang

I like how you noticed it's all cloudy in OP 5. The song title is "donten" which indeed means a cloudy sky in Japanese. The serious mood in that OP fits in very much with the current arc x)
Don't believe in all the OPs. Some of them are scams cuz what you see isn't what's actually happening in the episodes with that OP 🤣
I wanted to hear your reaction to OP 13 so bad 😭 Isn't there anywhere I can see that for free? 😢 I hope we can at least hear your comments even if you muted only the song instead cuz I can hear the songs going on without actually 'listening' to it but I cannot hear you saying 🥲 I think you can do it like other reactors for your next videos, where they put a very low volume or just mute the song like *during* the editing in advance before uploading, so that at least what they're saying can be heard (since that's the important part) instead of muting the entire section where it got copyright, in which you only know after uploading videos 😊
But anyway dudeee I really love your reaction ❤ There really are not a single bad OP in Gintama openings 😭 They're either okay, good, bangers , or absolute absolute bangers 😌😆 My fav ones are OP 1, 4, 5, 12, 13, 15, 17 and 21 but I LOVE all the other openings as well ❤️🩹 Your video got recommended to me by YT 4 days after lol. I wished I can watch this 4 days before so I can wish you a happy birthday :) Well, happy belated birthday! 🥳
You definitely gotta check the endings! If these openings already got you like this, then you won't last in the endings 🤣 Also have some, if not a lot bangers!
Gintama... It's just really something. It's not your usual shounen anime even it is categorised as shounen, but it's really just a journey. It's not for everyone, but once Gintama clicks with you, you WILL get invested in the rides. You can expect SoL, sitcom, parody and comedy (mainly), and heart-warming stuffs, with a spice of seriousness on the side. Honestly, you will be glad it got a lot of episodes cuz you don't want it to end. Gintama is and will always be my fav anime ever, special in my heart ❤
P/s: If anyone ever recommend(ed) to you to react to to their top fights, pls don't do it. Watching their serious fights will honestly give you false hope when you start Gintama.
I know I know I messed up and forgot to split the audio tracks so it was all on one track unfortunately 😭but going forward I’ve made sure everything is split now so I can’t just mute the openings and have my voice come through!
I agree all the openings are other bangers or banger bangers! 😂 and no worries thank you for the happy birthday! And for checking out the video!
I will def be doing the endings soon! I can’t wait I know they’re going to slap! And I can’t wait to start watching either!
I did have a couple people tell me to checkout the fights but I won’t! I rather go in blind!
Gintama is 1000 episodes of bullshit that make you laugh seriously
Sounds goated fr!
no 17v4 :(
Sorry 😭
