Should You Watch Gintama? (SPOILER FREE) 銀魂
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- So... I have taken it upon myself to try and help anyone who may be considering watching Gintama decide whether they would like to watch it, or maybe for anyone who's watched a little bit and are unsure of whether they want to watch the rest. I guess you could also consider it a spoiler free review of sorts?
docs.google.com/document/d/1S...
And here would be a Google Docs link to an obnoxiously long and detailed episode by episode guide to Gintama for you. Obviously, it's not meant to just be read through all at once, but to be referenced as you go through the anime. I hope it will be of assistance.
Regardless, thank you for watching! Please like, comment, or subscribe! Gintama fans, share this video with your friends you're trying to get to watch Gintama! And feel free to leave any Gintama related questions you may have in the comments. I would be happy to answer them.

And please. Understand. The fundamental point of this video is to say there is no single episode in Gintama where it magically "gets good." This is not saying... yes, wait 60 episodes and then it gets good. Gintama is simply a show that builds on itself over time in addition in increasing in quality from an execution standpoint. To be able to understand why people love it so much, yes, you need to watch everything that they've watched. This video is an attempt to bridge that gap so you can understand a bit more about how the show works before you go through with that, but it can only do so much. - Фільми й анімація
Best Gintama arcs in order:

Good man.
Great job on the google doc, btw. I'll be sending it to a few friends.
Jess don't let anyone's opinion change your mindset. I really enjoyed this video.
Based Chibi has arrived
gtfo noone talks shit about THAAAAT ANIMEESNOOOOOB!!!
Thank you so much, Chibi. That means a lot!
Chibi, go settle things with Snob like a man in a podcast.
hey chibi
My favourite thing about Gintama is how they can go from a robot dentist visit to the Red Spider Arc, and it doesn't.. It doesn't really.. Jar you. It doesn't make you go 'that doesn't make sense.' It works.
0-50 - Okay
50-100 - getting better
100 - 150 - its good
150 - 200 - Its great
200 - 300 - FUCKING AMAZING !!!!!!!!!
300 onwards - ITS THE BEST ANIME OF ALL TIME
It is not that simple :)
Rakib Hasan true
I just finished ep 13 and I just want to say it really touched me at the end when Gin held the girl and guy and it showed how much of a family they are and how their bond has grown. Gin really does care about the people around him and I appreciate that. He's a good character.💕Also I can hear you talk about Gintama all day. The history part was helpful for me to understand the setting a bit better.🙂
Thanks for the review! I enjoy watching it and I love the list you created. Will use it to introduce Gintama to my friends
Its 2019 and I started Gintama months ago and I’m only now getting past episodes 42. I want to thank you for taking time toile this video. Your brilliant and I’m excited for what’s to come. I could tell there was subtle set up of something but it’s slow lol.
It’s funny you say not to watch it all aggressively. I feel like this was before binge culture was established.
Thanks for the tip about its historical synergy definitely going to learn more about Japanese history and culture so I can understand the jokes and subtle plots more.
Exactly what I was looking for, you answered all my questions. Thank you so much
I absolutely loved your review. Bookmarked for future reference!
Jessica: 14 years olds........wait some years to watch gintama
Me: Im 14 years old and i am on episode 214😬😅
LMAO same here lol
Same here, I think some people just need to persevere
Thank you for actually bringing up the slow start! So many reviewers don't bother.
Gintama is quite unique and does a lot with its characters, it blends comedy, absurdity, points of realism (which would normally be a paradox to absurdity) and action into a mostly episodic show that starts taking a darker transition in its later episodes! Most of the characters have likable traits and the show breaks the fourth wall quite well - my thoughts on Gintama.
Thanks for the Video Jess, I really love the whole of Gintama.
Wow. Thanks for taking the time for that episode guide. Its an awesome list. I'll make sure it gets put to use.
How did you get Wi-Fi Madao?!
Awesome, spread the Gintama love :P

I was mooching off the Yoruzuya's crappy internet connection XD
Really enjoy your vid ~ subbed. It's funny when I was in college , I thought anime is only for kids , but it was Gintama drag me into anime world, because of a weird otaku friend force me to watch anime one time, that's why I found Gintama at first place, and it was in 2009 , there was only about like 120 eps at that time , I finish it with only few days, still good memorise, and I would say 86-87 三叶篇 is my faverite arc. And gintama's sound tracks, openning ,ending songs are amazing, it also made me into japanese music. overall it's a really special anime to me I'm glad that you made this video~
Thank you! Ahh I see. Yeah 86-87 are incredible! Gintama's very special to me as well. Glad you enjoyed!
the beginning of gintama is teaching you a language and after you learn it everything makes sense
I rewatched this review for quite a few times. Really like your review and how it resonate with me on why I like Gintama so much. My favorite part of your review is at
19:07 The foreshadowing of the story
20:05 & 20:57 Gintoki's development
Thank you for your effort put into making the guide maybe it'll be useful once I'm ready to get watching this giant.
You're welcome! Hopefully it'll help. And I really hope you enjoy the show when you get around to it. It's a huge investment, but, for most people who really go for it, it's more than worth it.
It was a real stroke of luck when I stumbled upon episode 20, I guess, upon a local channel. The episode was dubbed to my tongue and I enjoyed every single bit of it. I watched that episode with my brother and he loved it, too. Since then, the two of us would wait for that show to air everyday. After a while bit, i decided to get serious with this anime- that I will start from episode 1 and see it through. I called my bestfriend over bragging that we'll watch the greatest show in the world... and was embarrassed. I never saw episode 1 before but judging from what I already saw, I expected to be at least entertained. There was a few giggles but the real deal breaker was when I saw my bestfriend yawn (me:DAMN YOU~!)
I dropped Gintama for two months before picking it up again.
Now, I am still embarrassed. Shameful of the fact that I judged this show by it's cover. I think I will never see a show that would affect me as much as this anime did. There's just too much... heart.. in this one. The fact that each episode was called a "lesson" was the greatest hint. I love the underlying plot. The ruthless comedy. THE CHARACTERS -OH GOD. Thank you for spreading Gintama love. ♥
PS. THIS IS REALLY WELL DONE! An A/A job on describing Gintama! thank you very much!
Ooohhh, episode 20's a great one to start on actually. It was one of the first episodes that got me thinking... this might end up becoming one of my favorite anime (as opposed to simply liking it lol). I was correct.
But yeah... those first two episodes. Like, I understand why they're there and they're not BAD, they just end to be... offputting to a lot of newcomers unless they know what to expect ahead of time. Even the quality jump from episode 2 to episode 3 is noticeable. And from then onward, the only way is up ^^
No need to be embarrassed, that's what this video's for :D Because I agree with everything you said!
Dear Jess, I came upon that vid AnimeSnobs did about this vid. Don't worry your pretty head about it. We love Gintama and if other people can't understand that... so what?
I agree with everything you said here. You point out the epic moments and the flaws all the same.
I really really love this anime. And I get heated every time someone disrespects it. Hah.. if only they know what they're missing.
All Gintama fans would agree with me saying that this anime is a reward itself. I know. I've been in love with this anime for more than five years.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA PRAYING FOR MORE BANANAS FOR SORACHI!
btw, did you know that Sorachi Hideaki won the "Most Favorite Mangaka" Award? :D Some people may hate Gintama but there's a whole lot more who loves it.
Thank you, this really brought a smile to my face ^^
"rewards people who stick with it"
i agree. Gintama just becomes better and better as you watch it.
I am impressed by your knowledge despite having watched relatively a low amount of anime. Great job! You have the potential to become an amazing reviewer
Thank you very much! Yeah, I'm still rather new to the anime world (I've barely watched 50 series), but I'm doing what I can to learn :D Glad to see something good's coming of it!
I've seen 40+ anime and this is easily the best. There's nothing quite like it. Great video!
Wow, i'm very surprised how good you can speak about certain subject without using "jumpcuts" (and i don't think that you read from the screen your script either that makes it more professional) and your information is well structured and you rarely repeat yourself.
You trully are real Gintama fan and intelligent, great person in general.
Keep up with a good work!
next time someone asks if they should watch gintama, ill link your video, good stuff!
An episodic guide? Damn, this channel deserves more attention for the amount of effort she puts in.
Yes those cliffhangers. That 2-week wait between ep. 303 and 304 was hell.
302-3-4-5-6-7 would destroy ya
Excellent breakdown of the best series 👍👍
hey great video :) guess ill have to watch Gintama now :D
12:30 absolutely agree. I like that these different characters have different morals that make sense and they can be goofy and over the top but also extremely relatable
Great Video!!!
The way I try to describe it is as follows. Gintama is unique and great during the beginning of the series. Stating that it's only average and there's nothing really special about the early episodes is false. The way we meet of the characters is unique in its own right. People heading into the series have to understand first and foremost that Gintama is an episodic comedy/parody series with more or less slap stick comedy and toilet humor. It's not some serious and deep story driven show that a lot make it seem ( I blame most of the fandom for this because they only rep the serious portion of the series which give newcomers a false sense of what it truly is). The show doesn't get better because it is already good from the start. If you have to wait till the benizakura to see if you'll stick with it, you might as well not bother because there is only so few "serious arcs" in the series, while refreshing to watch after all the comedy episodes that's not what the series is. Gintama is mainly a character driven series with a huge cast of characters, while there is a plot throughout that really isn't the main focus of it. The serious arcs aren't the only parts of the series that are deep and emotional either. A lot of the one episode/chapter stories have deeper meaning to them even though that's not what it might seem like on the service. That is why each chapter /ep is titled as a lesson ( some of the lessons aren't that serious and are just funny and comedic). Another thing is that Gintama isn't meant for people who are just starting out watching anime/ reading manga. There is a heavy amount of references to Japanese pop culture/ history ect. that people need to know a bit in order to enjoy it more because that would make the jokes and references more impactful. I can go on forever but I'll try to just wrap this up. Long story short, Gintama is an amazing series, It's that people should actually know what they are getting into first and foremost. If you want serious story driven ( though it has it) you shouldn't bother because you'll be disappointed. If you want a series with a main focus of amazing characters with funny traits, moral lessons, funny comedy ( though subjective), a wide variety of genres, tons of references, history, a great plot, then this is for you.
Long comment haha, awesome! Mind if I respond with an equally long comment? ^^
Allow me to clarify! What I meant by "average" at the beginning is restricted to the very early episodes, kind of the first 50, more specifically the first 20. And it's even more of an issue of perspective than it is of objective quality or lack thereof. I myself loved Gintama honestly before the fifth episode, partly because I found them quite enjoyable on their own merits, but largely because many people were saying that the early episodes weren't going to be good compared to the rest... and then I saw them and they appeared to be quite good but nothing magnificent, meaning the rest was going to be incredible. However, not everyone thinks this way. In fact, most people I've spoken to take a little while to get into Gintama. To them, it comes across as average. In retrospect, it is incredible. To someone starting, it is not. And I can completely understand that opinion. It's not so much that Gintama isn't good at the start (as I stated, it's not an issue of Gintama "getting good"), it's that for some, even many, people that this hard to see before they, one, know the characters and the jokes, and, two, begin to see the wider story that Sorachi is constructing. It's the difference of how the show APPEARS so someone starting out to what it actually is, both from a comedy perspective and from a plot perspective.
Also, pointing out Benizakura isn't simply a matter of the beginnings of plot. Roughly around the time of Benizakura, the comedy has begun improve in quality as well. We are beyond the introductory episodes and so everything about the show begins to take off in a better way. Episodes that are only okay appear less frequently, the cast has established itself and you really, really like them, and Sorachi has gotten a better hang of writing the manga and the anime staff has got a better hang of producing the show. I would argue (a few exceptions) that the episodes following Benizakura are superior to the episodes prior to it, in terms of both execution and personal enjoyment. AND THEN on top of that, you get that tiny hook of there being something more to the show. It's just a good benchmark, as by then you've got a feel for all aspects of the show, which I would personally argue are all equally important.
Even though the non-plot episodes take up considerably more screentime, they are no more significant than the plot. Gintama is both, and the fact that it is both is what makes it so magnificent. It's not just a great comedy, it's not just a great story. It somehow manages to be both at once as the two weave in and out of each other seamlessly, play off of each other, promote the development of the great and hilarious characters, and create the great anime we know and love. I don't think that people looking for serious plot driven stuff will be disappointed, so as long as they are open to the idea of there being far more to the show than that... I say that as someone who usually watches shows for serious plot driven stuff XD
As for the rest of what you said though, I definitely agree, there is plenty of meaningful stuff that's unconnected to the plot stories, some of the lessons are just fun, it's tough for people with little anime/manga/Japanese cultural knowledge, and that it's all about its characters. That's the fun stuff of the journey, those laughs and those surprise lessons. I just think it may be helpful to people questioning the show to know the wider framework of Gintama (in all its layers) so they're not bummed out by a beginning they personally don't find all that compelling yet and so they can then come to appreciate both the little parts that make up Gintama and Gintama on the whole.
The guide looks REALLY well done.
Twas a labor of love :P
What episode can I recommend to my friends to start Gintama?
Easy.
Episode 25:
Life is like a shared hotpot.
Alternative.
Episode 31:
Things that don't matter are the things you can't forget.(Sure the bond will be non-existent but I'm pretty sure they will see it regardless plus the comedy truly starts here for me.)
everyone always talks about the Benizakura arc, and while it's an amazing arc. the arc that really started to get me was the arc where we met Umibozu, or the episode where we were introduced to Gengai, or the episode where Katsura met Ikematsu. These were a lot of the episodes that had kept me going in the early days, because while it was funny, I didn't truly appreciate the comedy until the arc where they got turned into screw drivers
I've been a Gintama Fan since 2010 where i just randomly pick an Anime that i'm gonna Marathon cuz i got to much time on my hands because of Vacation and Boy! This become my number 1 Anime so Quickly, cuz the Comedy Click to me but did i not expect it to be so Serious in the Benizakura Arc were i see some awesome fight and i just in awe while watching it then comes the Yagyuu Arc (the Toilet ep killed me) haha then the Mitsuba Arc where i didnt expect to cry for her death together with the relationship with the Shinsengumi its so gud and whats Great is Gintama is just getting Better truly the Best Anime that i Watch
You chose to watch a 200 episode anime (now 300 episode XD) at random and stuck with it? I am impressed. I always need some reassurance beforehand if I go to watch anything more than like 25-50 episodes.
Yup, Benizakura, Yagyuu, Mitsuba... the usual standout progression of the first 100 episodes lol. A funny start to a combination of serious stuff and even better comedy... such is Gintama, better and better and better.
tbh yeah i agree, i couldn't really see the hype about gintama and then i got bored and read the latest chapter at the time (and it was in the SA arc) and got hooked. but then when i tried to start from the beginning, i didn't really feel like it was the best anime ... and honestly im not sure at what point i started liking it so much but by the end of the show, it felt like i've been through a whole journey with the cast and it has shot up to my top3
and now actually just any story as long as they dont end. i would like to see if sorachi will just continue and focus on short story after the main storyline come to an end. they can do it just like alot of others like shinchan doraemon things like that. let me clarify that i don watch doraemon just an example
I love you! With this video is ridiculous the effort and the love you have for the opera. Such as me. Gintama constantly speak with my soul. Gintama is THE ANIME! I have already ended for the second time all the episodes. Now the final chapter was written, and i do not want to spoiler me anything because i hope that will be an animated series. Do you have info about it? Sorry for my bad english. Cheers from Italy! Probably from the best Gintama fan of my country (all of my friends does not want to continue the opera after first episodes, and prefer that (for me) garbage of Naruto, Bleach, One piece.
I've been watching gintama the past 2 weeks, im at episode 151 and ive been arguing with myself whether its worth continuing or not. dont get me wrong, the comedy is good and the parodies are also good but i find it lacking and doesnt really make me want to continue, until now only 3 arcs are good, benizakura, shinsengumi crisis and yoshiwara in flames, which total almost 15 episodes out of the 150. my main reason of watching gintama isnt the comedy but the plot, one of the seasons is ranked 3 in MAL also 6, 12 and 13, so im saying to myself that it must be good. do i continue it or drop it.
myanimelist.net/animelist/a9xu
i got hooked on ep one because of the comedy and then out of sudden the action was badass
Yup! Funny from the start and then it goes insane, it's awesome!
im not so into benizakura hen what hook me in is the shinsengumi crisis arc and after thta i just keep watching all the way from manga to animation to the latest. i mean in earlier story which is a single episode story is really nice but just that i wont get addicted to it untill the sec serious arc which hook me in place.
How many animes have u watched jessica?🤔
I remember watching a couple of random episodes with my friend and enjoying it almost ten years ago, but a couple of weeks ago I decided to watch it from the beggining and didn't really like the first three episodes and gave up. There is an anime called Excel Saga that reminds me a lot of Gintama when it comes to the referential humour, but this show is from the 90's. Don't know if you seen it, but I think you would like it. Good thing is that is only 26 episodes.
Oh ok! No pressure to keep on watching or anything, but the first two episodes are non-canon, a special for people who were already fans of the manga, so if you do want to stick with the three episode rule for Gintama, you should do 3-5 actually ^^ It's still not the best the show has to offer, but it will give you a little bit better feel for it. Only if you're willing to give it a chance for another two episodes of course!
That sounds quite interesting, I'll look into it. Thanks for the recommendation!
I just subbed to you, well done on this video. You're really eloquent, is this video scripted?
sry for flooding the comment s. just finish the vid and i cant help it but to comment that well said i couldnt agree more an d ur shirt was awesome
Where did you get that T-shirt!
I just finished Gintama for the 3rd time recently. My thoughts have changed a bit dropping it down from my number 1 spot to my number 2 spot. Its still great but I feel like Lucky Star takes the cake for me because of Nanako.
Very accurate description of the introductory episodes. They are bland. I remember the days when you just binged the series to catch upto the latest episodes and you caught up with it at the perfect time. It's been a fun experience discussing the series with you since you really know how to break down the important points and interpret them very well.
Dunno if I would say bland, at least not for me lol. I enjoyed many of the intro episodes, but there were definitely a few meh ones but I knew the show would improve over time. It's mostly that I know that so many people DO find the early episodes bland that I wanted to address this, for their sake, let people know that it gets better in terms of execution, that it'll get more appealing as you get more familiar with the characters and the jokes, and that there's more to it than meets the eye.
Ahhh yes, that was fun time... binging everything post-Yoshiwara especially... and then post-Four Devas, forget it, I'm pretty sure it took me only a week to catch up at that point XD Watching all of FS the day the last episode aired was the best though haha, it was a wild ride, and I'm glad you've enjoyed it as well!
I also did enjoy them but they lacked any emotion whatsoever. However, 20-30 episodes into the series and it starts to spread the emotions and colors that it normally has and continues the upward spiral until the last episode. But overall, I'll share this video with my friends who have trouble getting into the series. I did write a review on it as well on MAL but not many people really see it there so this video is a great way to get someone into the series :)
I started 2015 season do I have to go back or can i just continue?
Calliou I think you should go all the way back to the first season..
Everyone in comment section putting a lot of text, but more impresive jess managed to respond everyone i've seen with piles of text...
exactly i loved gintama from really early.
Ok is funny that this was 5 years ago, I finished gintama probably 3 months ago and u think I have missed an anime this much
yeah
I started watching Gintama about two months ago.
Gotta say, it has high highs and low lows. Some episodes make me laugh all day, others make me wish I could skip the episode. Although the later are a lower count. Overall, a solid 8/10 for me so far (181 episodes in)
I've watched the preview for the four Divas Arc in Benizakura Movie Special. And I gotta say that arc looks amazing.
Can't wait to get started with Gintama 2011, + that 16:9 ratio finally.
That's fair! I'm personally of the opinion that following Yoshiwara in Flames, there really aren't any of the meh episodes anymore, mayyybe one or two out of the 150+ that follow it. So I think that at 181, you're completely in the clear. Popularity Poll is next haha! And, really, it only goes up. Yesss, 16:9 at last, it is a welcome change!
Yeahhhh, Four Devas is a great, great arc. Though the serious arcs that follow it are (imo) even better!
I just finished the 4 devas arc yesterday
Which company that make the anime gintama?
Sunrise, BNP..
Good video but I do disagree that it takes a while to get good. I imagine most future Gintama fans would find even the first episodes to be a fun hook.
The earlier episodes are actually pretty funny and I didn't appreciate them at first.
I've seen all different opinions on this matter honestly. For me, I really enjoyed it from a few episodes in. For a while, I had lingering doubts in my mind but I was enjoying it enough for the most part. But I do know of plenty of people who didn't like it all that much at the start and so I guess you could say I'm trying to temper expectations in case someone who watches this is one of those peop;e who doesn't like it all that much at the start. If they start off with high expectations, there's a chance of disappointment. If they start of with okay expectations, they're more likely to be pleasantly surprised.
@@UnderthePineTree i highly agree. When i first watched Gintama my expectation went pretty high since i watch videos on why i should watch it. I was expecting a lot of things to happen and i really expected it to be at least to be one of my favorite animies since i"m into multi-genre anime. It pretty much has the ideal genres that im really into: drama, comedy, parody,samurai, alien, and many more.I also like the fact that the anime transitions from comedy to drama. Yes it had funny, and emotional moments it had good humour and had some weird moments(but for some reason i didnt really laugh to the point where tears starts to fall upon my eyes that i cant breathe at all i just laughed) . It has admirable characters, great character development , and has a slow but good buildup. The way people described Gintama felt like it was something that i would really like. However for some reason, there are just at times where i get bored of gintama then suddenly it gets good and then it gets boring again, and the cycle repeats as the story flows throughout the series. Which made me pretty sad and jealous of other people since i cant even enjoy such a great show unlike most people.they can without even trying . It might be because of my mood, my tastes , or my high expectation towards the anime. Maybe next time when i watch something i shoudn't think too highly of it or ill lose the hype. Im alrdy done with 367 episodes and overall it was ok it wasnt good but it was ok i guess although i did find the latest arc a good one. I also liked the shogun assassination arc, jirocho arc, and pretty much most of the serious arcs(but it felt like it wasnt enough to satisfy me)I honestly can't wait for the final season. I would say, i may had gotten bored of the majority of the arcs but as i watched the episode where gintoki and everybody else fights utsuro, thats when i started liking it again and it made me even liked the show even more when the timeskip arc debut and i really hope the final arc won't dissappoint me. Gintama may have a transition of ups and downs, but im kinda sad that the manga has alrdy ended. It felt like it wasn't the time or it felt like it was a bit too early for it to end. Im not trying to hate on gintama ok im just being 100% honest with my review. And whoever likes Gintama then good for you and your are blessed to have such good tastes.
did you watch also the movie 2 of gintama? :D
Yes, I did! I will get a review out for it someday lol.
+JessReviews haha ok. btw great job on explaining this Gintama anime very accurate :)
I started Gintama 23.12.2014 and I'm on episode 78 :D
I've watched it on and off because there isn't 1 main story, but multiple amazing arcs.
I love it already I loved it in the beginning and still do, but I don't like episodic shows too much, but Gintama is so good I'm trying to find time for it and finish it somewhere this year.
I could finish Gintama in 3 weeks if I wanted, but I watch seasonal/reactions/shorter anime and other long anime so I can't find time to watch it since it doesn't hook you in after every episode.
Anyways really good show most likely will stay as 10/10 even if I won't ever finish it :D
Oh you're at the Yagyuu Arc then?! Awesome, such a great arc! Very fun, but also great character development all around. But iirc.. 78 is in the middle of the arc... I can't imagine stopping there lol.
Oh yeah, definitely take it at your own pace. There's no rush, just enjoy it for what it is right now and be prepared for even more greatness down the road. You're at the start of a really, really great stretch of the show, between the Yagyuu, meeting the Shogun, the Mitsuba arc (beautiful oh my goodness), and lots of other stuff. You're actually about 20 episodes away from an arc in my top 10, possibly top 5 :D
Feel free to chat anytime as you go through it, it's always fun to talk to people early on in the show, especially if they're enjoying it so much already! It only goes up!
JessReviews Yeah I know I'm in a middle of an arc :D It just got stuck there and when I take too long of a break from anime it takes some time to continue it. Also at that time I started Naruto/Bleach and D.Gray-man and continued OP and wanted to see which show got me hooked up the best. OP just felt like the easiest to just watch multiple episodes in a row and not feel mentally exhausted :D
hey jess i'm not a big fan of gintama but i like your hunter x hunter videos keep doing what you do and don't let anyone crush you
have a good day
Thanks, same to you :D
11:08 that's probably why a lot of those gintama try not to laugh vids don't really hit the reactors who don't watch gintama
my favorite relationship in the show is the father-daughter relationship between Gintoki and Kagura
確かに銀魂の序盤はけっこう見るに堪えないが紅桜篇から一気に良くなるね
gintoki kicks a can with a red laser into the head of the shogun, "SHOGUN KA YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (spoiler alert)
In resume DONT GET ANY WEIRD HOPES FOR THIS SHOW BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT ENDS UP HOOKING YOU BY THE MOST UNEXPECTED REASON, JUST READ IT CASUALLY UNTIL YOU FIND INMERSED ON IT AND WANT TO SEE MORE.
Now to explaing it :
I think that the very idea of searching for information about this show is something that doesnt work that well for it, as that is the way people avoid wasting time in the crappy shows of the huge quantity of anime that comes out thanks to the seasonal format of delivering anime. The way this show is presented doesnt fit for that, and people try to convince themselves that this series that impressed them from an amv or the great review that your favorite youtuber/blogger has made about it, and the later dissapointment you get when you dont relate those reviews to the first episodes is the holder that keeps people for taking the very good vibe and jokes that the episodes from the beggining to the benizakura arc spam of chapters have...
The perfect mindset for my to begin this show is just reading the synopsis and decide yourself how to aproach it, if you want recomendation on that, given the synopsis and the hard schedules that a lot of you may have just watch it in your true free time. when you ended watching your plans for the day and done all your duties is the best time to see the comedic slice of life anime that will make you lift your head in good mode for the day, at that pace you will start gradually getting interested on it and you will use more time to watch it
Thats how i got introduced to gintama: trying to search for an anime of samurais after getting excited about those ideas for some reasons i dont remember, i found in the most popular manga of the day the picture of this weird white haired guy in a bad-worn kimono with a wood stick and a motorcicle, the art wasnt atractive and for that sole reason i wouldnt have read it but i used to lessen my samurai hype and the episodic adventure that this seemed to be by the synopsis description made me thing that it was the cheapest way.
SOME EXAMPLES of episodes that were good in the begining of the show:
kaguras introduction was not bad, the fan episode was a pretty funy episode showing the obsoleteness of that article, the kappa episode were besides the nice way the episode is portrayed we met the sick girl who will later become the base personality for tama, the joke on the predicator that concedes wishes were episodes in which they try to make the characters put a wall of though acting to then show how they truly think is an interesting way, and the rengokugan and umibouzu arc are pretty good...
Subbed; found you from Snob lol. Oh, and don't let his video bother you too much; he's been unusually hungry for views this year.
Thanks! I see lol, I'm just letting it be.
JessReviews Keep up the work though👍
The community needs more female reviewers like you.
Planning on it! I love reviewing and plan on doing it for as long as I can.
+JessReviews About the first episodes, at the beginning of the manga the ratings weren't really good since the episodes, weren't kinda telling what is Gintama about or why is Gintama different of other mangas. And it was so bad it was a bout to be canceled, the editors even said that this is one of the few shows or the only that had recover from such a low point, and it was really hard since when Gintama started Death note was the most popular manga, making the situation no better. Is really surprising how Sorachi achieve it, It just make me respect him more. Good recommendation of why to whacht gintama hope more people wacht this amaizibg series.
I feel bad cause thatanimesnob subs are attacking the hell out you. Which isn't really fair but your not the first he does this.
Also who's your favorite gintama?
character.
Nah, it's alright. If we're dealing with someone who usually does this sort of thing, it's just part of life. I can handle it, I do appreciate your sentiment though. This video for the most part has gotten excellent reception and so it's fulfilled its real purpose. I just want to be able to help people with Gintama. If some people dislike the video or the show, hey, that's just how it is. I know that I put my all into this video and into that guide and so I'm pleased with it.
Up until this week's manga chapter, it was Gintoki. Now it might be Shouyou. I am just so fascinated by this man. My top ten are all really close though. Shouyou, Gin, Zura, Takasugi, Oboro (also just because of this week's chapter), Sakamoto, Kagura, Nobume, Kondou, Hijikata. Honorable mentions to Shinpachi, Isaburo, and Tsukuyo. Also Zenzou! Meh, you see what's happening here, I'm just going to keep on listing more characters... everyone honestly, I love these guys.
+JessReviews It's good to see more gintama reviewers and you've just gained a new sub.
Ignore Snob, he doesn't want to write a coherent defense and seems more content with one liners and having his minions defend his viewpoint instead.
+Rickety Rickety Rekt son Well that's the type of guy he is and always will be.
i like the videos of snob because they are different than typical reviewers but i have to 100% disagree on his views on gintama. besides, i like jess way more ha ha ha ha ha ha
zura janai! katsura da!!!
HEY. Marry me , please? I have fallen in love ..for real. :(
Jeez where have you been all my life? You're so damn kawaii ;p
22:50: *S O A C C U R A T E*
thatanimesnob made a vid about this vid
Thanks for the heads up! I guess that'd be the reason behind the sudden onslaught of comments lol. Is it any good? I don't want to deal with any negativity or cause any drama unless the video makes points that are really worth addressing.
Gotcha!
So what? Snob has been "exposing" youtubers ever since 2014, its not surprising at all that he'd make one for this with the usual lack of a coherent argument and an abundance of one liners instead of critical thought. This guy is a meme now which saddens me because before Snob used to be a good critic. But alas it appears that he feels more content in rehashing his old content than providing any analytical thought with regards to anime.
came here because of snob, :D oh well :D
I actually like gintama, but for retro people who watch many quality anime before, i doubt they'll like that since their standards are very high, I can't blame them, the anime before has more engaging stories :D,
A lot of Snobs points are actually quite correct though
oh don't get insulted by snobs, because that his persona, thatanimesnob, it's his job to insult and critisize people :D
Hey! Thanks! Welcome! :D
Ah whatever. I'm fine if he doesn't care for Gintama, he's perfectly entitled to that. Anyone is perfectly entitled to like or dislike a show for whatever reason. It's called having an opinion, and, obviously, those vary from person to person lol. Gintama's not perfect, and if those flaws are too big for someone to overlook by virtue of their individual taste... that's fine! They may prefer other anime... that's fine!
But this isn't about the fact that he was criticizing Gintama. What he did was take what I said out of context in an utterly mocking fashion, using my content without my consent, completely misrepresenting my views, and so whatever good points he made or may ever make, with regards to Gintama or anything else... I honestly don't care.
I... sorry for the rant. Even if that's just what he does... it's uncalled for. I know this wasn't the point of your comment and I'm not mad at you at all! Your comment was honestly quite kind! It's just reached the point where the very mention of him is grating to me. Maybe that's what he wants... but... I'm just... done with him.
JessReviews good for you to rant, cause that's what makes you human not another yesman or woman :D
well people have different interpretation of your views, that's just how he interprets yours. :D regardless whether your intention are pure, there will be others who will interpret your views differently so chill :D
regardless, thank you for your civil approach to these kind of talk :D
wish you luck in your channel then :D
Thanks ^^
***** then the drama will start, and we'll unless you like drama :D
+MrMik1995 There was a time I was considering it but that was immediately following it when emotions were running a bit high. Upon actual reflection, there's no need at all. I have no desire to further drag this out. What's done is done and what bothers me at this point is the possibility of further drama so I have no plans of doing so and I would ask that all of you (not you in particular, everyone :P) follow suit in that regard. It's not worth it.
some advice, do not make a reply to ThatAnimeSnob lol it won't end well for you trust me.
You're not the first one to warn me, but don't worry, I won't. I was never going to do more than write up a comment on the video, but now I probably won't even do that. Thanks!
JessReviews i am a sub of his i find him funny but sometimes he can go over the edge and bait other youtubers to reply to them so he can start a shit storm. i don't think you'll like most of his subs coming here to troll either. well at least through him you found yourself another sub. i watched your erased episode 12 review and i enjoyed it.
Ah so that may be the goal then? Ugh.
Thanks though! I have gotten quite a few new subs today actually... so... gonna look at the positives lol?
_"most of his subs coming here to troll either"_
Being critical while being sarcastic/putting a snob persona for fun is different than trolling.
Roruman oh please. you know what i mean. there are a few people on snobs channel that are critical and mature. hasn't happen here but the hundreds of digibro is a pedophile, chibi is cancerous and the dislike bar going way over top than normal is not sarcasm or for fun.
Why are you so beautiful?
in short gintama is a show about an otaku, for otakus written by an otaku, :P
Yes.
Majority of the Japanese fans are female, and they don't identify themselves as "otaku".
Besides that point, you're still generalising, as that can be said about every anime ever.
how ??
Amna Amir what do you mean how?
how am i generalizing ?
HERE IS SOME ACTUAL CRITICISM FOR YOU.
So basically in your video your saying that people have to watch 300 eps of pointless episodic shounen jump fan service filler in till gintama gets any good.
Because apparently it needs 300 episodes of set up before it goes any where.
Even though from what I have seen there are shows that are just as long or longer than gintama and they do set up in less episodes and get to the actual point. So basically what your pretty much saying is that all of gintama arcs are basically one big set up arc that leads to something of actual story and then ends.
So I guess you expect most anime fans to have the patience of a wise old monk.
Which I guess Some people do.
But if you're like most anime fans then I guess this would find having to watch over 300 episodes of episodic filler to be very taxing.
Stop assuming and agreeing with everything thatanimesnob is saying.
+crzyboy190 And you stop being gintama fanboy and pull your head out of your ass. As I said before, it's extremely niche, made for people like you. 90% of people don't like this type of comedy because it's lazy. So stop hyping it as some masterpiece, it makes you look stupid
+AMG&B Gintama isn't even my favorite series but I will defend from pricks like. Which again I told before in the previous video that it don't think the series is masterpiece.
+AMG&B The cat bit your tongue lol? the other guy really say that you he didn't defend the flaws of the series.
+yuyu kurama I've got other stuff to attend to.
+crzyboy190 You keep commenting on every single negative comment aimed at gintama which makes you look like a fanboy. It seems you can't get through your thick skull everything others are saying, that's why you have your head too far up your ass.
When a long-running Shonen's main focus is on Comedy it's bound to not be good from an objective standpoint.
Or at least you hope?
Major plot -driven animes can't even hold a candle to Gintama. You don't even know Gintama. What a bias opinion.
Akire Esereht Are you being serious?
Honey Badger Nah. You're just being stupid by generalizing anime
That awkward moment when it is a masterpiece from an objective standpoint.
Akire Esereht I'm not being senseless. I'm being logical about the topic of how good long-running shounens are. Gintama is by no means a good written show. I've seen around 250+ episodes of Gintama including the Shogun Assassination arc. (I skipped a bunch of episodes at around the 250 episode mark)
If you want to explain to me how good Gintama is then please give me an essay or at least, an in-depth analysis of the show if you truly think Gintama is great.
Also, thank-you for calling my opinion biased for no reason, insulting me, and showing your ignorance. You couldn't have made this easier.
