Why is Gintama so popular?
| Pretty nice characters, comedy with references up the ying yang, and some decent serious parts
| Defuq is Ying Yang
| Lol
| It knows when to be emotional serious and when to goof off (which tbf is most of the time).
If you have general knowledge about Japanese culture the countless references are hilarious.
Your enjoument greatly depends on you liking Gintama's style of humour. If you don't like it, no reason to force yourself thru it.
| It breaks the fourth wall, and is almost the only show that "knows" that it is a show, while using this to humour viewers even more.
| Tried watching it multiple times over the years but if you do not enjoy the type of humour in it then its really boring
| I used to watch it but I dropped the 2016-2017 it's cringe to me now
| Because the man who voiced Dio is in it
| .......wwwrryyyy
| I'm in the same boat as OP. There's so much Gintama I'm not sure where to start.
| Just start from the beginning yo... First 30 eps or so are pretty meh and I dripped the first time, but when I came back to it and made it passed the initial meh it was the greatest thing, it might just seem like toilet humor but it isn't its an insanely funny show (with or without knowledge of Japanese culture) and sometimes it can really make you feel. Either way it's up to you if you watch it or not, but if you do give it another bash try sticking through the first 30 or so eps.
| It's worth it.
| 30ep is too much
| Because is fuckin awesome. If you dont believe me, just go and watch it
| 30 episode windup is some shit tho
| Isnt 30 episodes, maybe 4/5
| 3 episode gap is the magic number usually
| It's pretty lame that the first 30 or so episodes are meh but it really is a great show after that...
| Can I just start at 30?
| No? Omfg, plebs. Watch all the series, the first 7/10 (not 30) arent that bad, just little slow bcs the introducción of all the characters
|
| it's the sort of thing you can watch with your 外人 兄ちゃん without worrying about him getting up and leaving again and your being all alone and crying a lot
| I basically came close to passing out from laughter pluss the smart dry dad jokes with the fact that the characters know they are in an anime
| Why? It's so funny, man.
| Comedy

| Sell it to me. I never got into it and the last time I gave it a shot I watched it somewhere in the middle of the show with a friend.
