More chaos, more jokes, and even better: Gintama continues to shine in comedy
The second season of Gintama maintains exactly what made the first so special and manages to raise the level of absurdity even further. If the intention was to be a "strange" work, here it embraces that without any restraint. The result? A true comedy spectacle that hardly goes an episode without eliciting several laughs.
Humor continues to be the main protagonist. The series mixes parodies, breaking the fourth wall, references to Japanese pop culture, and even critiques of the anime format itself. And the most impressive thing is how naturally it all works within that completely chaotic universe. There are episodes that seem to make no sense at all, and precisely for that reason, they end up being brilliant. I…

A class of its own.
There is the big 3. Naruto and Bleach had their share of the spotlights. Now One Piece seems to be sailing under the sun.
And then there is Gintama. Unrankable, incomparable, unpredictable, hilarious, timeless Gintama. Gintama takes the best of all animes. Comedy, parody, slice of life, drama, period, science-fiction, tragedy and even romance... Gintama is truly a jack of all trades. Only this time master of all.
As an anime lover, Gintama is a must-watch. It is not part of the big 3, it is far more than that. It truly is, the greatest anime of all time.

We got the Madao Cardboard Song out of this!
In seriousness though, Gintama' is one of the best animes out there bar none. The arcs were amazing, the humor was amazing, and we aren't a 4:3 aspect ratio from Gintama so that is certainly an upgrade as well.
Story: Though there is a resemblance of a story, a bunch of arcs and humor are just glued together. We still have not seen the Amanto yet which is the entire synopsis of the anime. But at the same time, there were a lot of internal conflicts happening throughout the story.
Animation: Beautiful. Sometimes it gets lazy but other than that there is really a lot of attention to detail. Amazing animation.
Humor: Though humor is always subjective, this one stuck with me. The fact that the show was super self-aware is amazing. The one funera…

"You actually thought the staff members could handle two long arcs in a row?! Don't overestimate them!"
- Kagura, Episode 252 (Gintama' 51)
Continuing on from the foundation of Gintama (2006), Gintama' only improves. The long-awaited shift to 16:9 only enhances the series and there is a noticeable improvement in animation quality. However, the heart of the series remains unaffected as the character’s ruthless, self-referential comedy keeps the series from becoming something it isn’t.
Gintama''s greatest strength is its characters. Whether considered a main character or part of the supporting cast, they all have their own eccentricities and unique viewpoints that make them stand out. New additions to the cast are fleshed out in the short amount of time they have on screen, making them fee…

Gintama is in 16:9! Honestly, that is a genuine improvement in this season of Gintama as well as the animation. The look of this season was so much nicer than the first season, of course, since it's newer.
But I'm not here to talk about art style. I was pleasantly surprised with the arcs in this season. In the first 201 episodes, I enjoyed probably 85-90% of the arcs regardless of if they were comedy or not, but this season, I didn't dislike any arcs. There were a couple arcs that drug on a bit too long for my liking or were a bit too, for lack of a better word, stupid to be super good, but all the arcs this season had really awesome points that I loved. Of course, I'm talking about the comedy arcs here, and the main arcs are an entirely different story.
The major story arcs this season…

There is something that nobody talks about in gintama. Even though it's one of, if not the most important detail that most people can't seem to be able to accept.
Gintama fans have to stop fleeing reality.
This is the second season of Gintama, so you'll be watching this after 201 episodes of S1. I'll get right into it, no need to explain the world of this anime.
In a seemingly normal episode, in that it's so crazy, Gintoki, after getting himself completely drunk, and forgetting what happened the night before, believes to have slept with 5 girls : otae, sarutobi, tsukuyo, kyubi, otose, and as if that didn't seem much, with hasegawa too(a midle aged man). everything makes him believe that he did sleep with them, as they make him take responsability.
So the episode unfolds, it's as over t…

I really like the weirdness, randomness, and epic (I would like to put ness there but there is no word epicness. Hahaha) of Hideaki Sorachi.
The author of this anime is really sly! Seriously, I've been laughing the whole time, even the first season of it and at the end is. Ah! Spoiler! Anyway, I would not write it. Even some people say that this anime is --- whatever, but setting aside those jokes you would see that this anime is really unique. Even if some of the episodes are not really connected or not in the series it is woven neatly.
I really like the opening and closing song of Gintama. Maybe, we have the same taste of music. When you watch Gintama the remarkable would be the seiyuu. I love how the seiyuu of Gintoki, Shinpachi and Kagura portrays or give life to the character. I l…

Gintama and Godly both start with G, coincidence? This anime is the pure essence of entertainment. You will laugh, you will cry, you will become emotional invested in a variety of ways. Not having watched this anime is like missing out on a classic movie and that means that you haven't fully lived yet. I watch an episode every night before I go to sleep so that I can sleep in pure comfort and relaxation. Watching Gintama for me is not a hobby. It is a life style. I HIGHLY recommend this show to anyone who likes anime and especially comedies.

Gintama
In my opinion it's one of my favorites ^^
And here is why :
Story :
When you first read the main story of it you may think it's an ordinary boring series of three guys living some adventures together .but actually it's not full of that normal nichijou (daily life) of most of this kind of anime's characters , It's actually full of surprising events . Even if some of its episodes are repeated but they got their own trait.
Music :
Including internal music , openings and endings
It's great !
It's suitable for this kind of anime. It makes you got excited when you watch the pivotal moments.
Characters :
The best thing that makes Gintama special is the characters.
Every single character in the series has his/her own unique personality . Even if he/she is not a main character.
Other thin…

I've seen many anime videos and movies and etc, and Gintama has to be one of those I could re-watch over and over again!
I like how this anime has its serious points where the main character would be the B.A and the lights would shine on him, then suddenly, it goes a completely different way and ends unexpectedly. Not only that, but they do quote things that have to do with life, which when you look at, is true. This anime is random. It's filled with action, comedy, drama, bits of horror, and lots of copy right mentioned titles you might recognize! The characters are perfect in many aspects as well. Unique in their own way, but together, they make up the perfect team. A slacker of a leader, a monster of a girl, and Four-eyes. I wouldn't say it's for everyone. Gintama isn't concentrated on…

I've heard of this anime for a long time, but never got into it because there's so many episodes and I didn't want to start from the beginning...So I jumped into Season 6. After watching a few episodes, including the classics within Season 6, I asked myself "What took me so long to get into Gintama!?"
I love the humor, the characters and that was enough to get me hooked.
I wouldn't mind starting from Season 1, but I'll do that once I finish Season 6.

Gintama is the most hilarious series I’ve ever seen in my more than a decade of watching animes and reading mangas. It is number one on my top lists of best animes in comedy and in the top ten on my hundred lists of best animes in the history of anime world. So when I learned that they are coming back, I was more than delighted, I was so thankful for the whole production who decided to bring them back.
There’s a long review coming………..
About the STORY
First, I strongly believe that you wouldn’t be able to appreciate this to the extent if you haven’t watched the previous one. Let me also just mention that the last episode of the previous one didn’t felt like it was the ending and so this new anime adaptation is really like a continuation. And the very first episode is really a blast, a ve…

This is my first review and i'm not really that good with writing in English. But I'll do my best.
Story-10: I think overall Gintama has a pretty good story with comedy, action, to drama and I always have that feeling of satisfaction in every episode .Gintama Season 2 never really gets me bored. I find the comedy in season 2 better than the first somehow. I literally cried out of laughter. The serious arcs were also pretty epic and has a beautiful story to it. So i give it a 10
Art-9: Not much really change in art. It's much more high quality though but I think that its best for Gintama. The art style on the fight scenes also improved alot. And the facial expressions on the Characters are alot more funnier than it used to.
Sound-9: The music in Gintama' is pretty epic. The OPs and EDs…

Gintama'..
I began watching this anime, unfortunately, so late.. So I couldn't feel the excitement you get when you're waiting for something you love.. and I LOVE Gintama.. from the very first episode till the end, Gintama kept me interested, made me lmao and sometimes even cry (even though at the end there was always a twist ^^) It has everything you can expect from an anime in it.. Definitely one of the best (for me the best) anime, and if you're not watching because you think that it is overrated, the only thing that will take to change your mind is the very first episode..
People, just give it a try, I guarantee that you definitely will not regret..
Note: If you guys don't make a third season, Sunrise, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

its nearly one year since the second season of Gintama has started and the loyal fans can remember the Joy and the life it gave us back then when it was aired again.the story that once was supposed to be about an school for demon dispellers and then about the Shinsengumi finally turned into something bizzare called Gintama which u can say is the Golden Work of Hideaki Sorachi.
the beginning of the second season is a perfect example of a great parody episode with updated jokes about famous Mangas which will make you burst into laugh if you only know about the parodies.although i am not suggesting to start this anime without watching the first season.but that's not the first thing that will get your attention.that would be Opening and later the Ending.yeah they are catchy and Gintama-like a…

また いつか! [Mata Itsuka] [See you Again Someday!].
Gintama' is not the end of the Gintama Anime.
[ REVIEW ]
DONDAKEEEE!! Gintama' is a series that, without doubt, captures almost every important essence of Anime (Comedy, Action, Drama, etc.) all within one show.
While it may be true that Gintama is mainly focused on the comedy aspect, the series is able to embody many action scenes, especially in the Arcs, as well as drama and sadness.
Contrary to popular belief, many don't want to start watching Gintama either because the series is too long, too 'overrated' in their eyes, or just does not pique their interest. However, when you actually get around to giving the series a chance, you will not be disappointed, and you will definitely be hooked.

Edit after episode 13: I cried big wet tears at the excellent storytelling and well placed character development. SUCH. BIG. TEARS.
I was skeptical as hell for the return of the Gintama anime. To be honest, I went into this anime wanting to slam it as hard as possible, especially upon seeing it's overbearingly high-score. But I won't, because to be frank, I can't.
I don't really think a lot of reviews, complex and heavily-illustrated need to be written about this anime to get a feel for what it's about so let me get straight to the point: It's ridiculous over-the-top comedy, plain and simple. Of course you can't forget the awesome stories built from these insane gags, too.

When you REALLY love a certain anime and hear it's going to end, you weep a little inside. So is Gintama, and the news of the new season were salvation to many sad Gintabros all over the globe.
That's right. The #1 show is back - and I am damn excite, son.
To any of you who haven't watched the first season, please do. but if you wouldn't want to commit yourself to a 201 episode show, feel free to just skip ahead to season two and try an episode or two. The storyline's arranged in inconsistent arcs, meaning you can pick it up from any arc - as long as you get an explanation on the origins of the different characters.
I assume all of you know the general setting - a Samurai who lives in a modern era in which aliens are a part of our (humans) daily lives. There's an ongoing ban on swords, s…
