Hasegawa is definitely the deepest character. Gin-san found out how deep you can get with him, alright. Welcome to the club, my dude! Now you can cry like the rest of us when the Final Movie (assuming it really is final, this time) comes out, as everybody says "dondake" one last time.
I love Gintama because it never forgets even the most stupidest jokes. And every one of those jokes is actually canon. Like that one about Gintoki's former friends.
Hello everyone. I just sobbed for 15 minutes at the idea of watching the new Gintama movie. Haven’t read the manga because the animation team and VA cast is too good, so I don’t really have a connection to the manga. So now I’m having an existential crisis because I have to come to terms that after I finish the movie and the 2 specials, I will have no more *new* Gintama content to experience. This isn’t a joke, but it is hilarious. So in the spirit of Sorachi, I think I’ll laugh at myself for a bit. Thank you. Good bye.
@vaishnavi akula I'm waiting to hear it in the movie. Oh man, I'm legitimately gonna have to watch the movie at least a couple times because I won't see anything through my tears. Thought about getting back on antidepressants to prevent this, but I don't want my mental state to be altered for my first experience of the movie.
The moment when i realize that gintama is special is in the moments of episode recaps. Every 50 or so episodes they show 1 second of each one at the end credits to close off the season finale. Then i realize that i recognize every single one of them and every single one is unique on its own right. For a show that has 300+ episodes to have so much quality on each of them is very rare but gintama makes it so natural. There is a reason why this is the only series that is featured in mal top 100 over 10x and 3x in the top 10.
What strikes me is how intricately nuanced and realistic gintokis character is. almost every single facet of his character (except his laziness) can be traced to the war. he is rude and callous on the surface to avoid forming new relationships coz if he does, what if he fails to protect them? Also one more interesting thing that I love is his crippling fear of ghosts. gintoki has fearlessly fought monsters of unimaginable magnitude with near zero chances of winning against them but he is scared shitless of ghosts. I find it really interesting coz in my opinion it represents his guilt of failing to protect his friends who died and the guilt of killing probably innocent characters who were fighting him to protect their loved ones. gintoki is also a LITERAL polar opposite of a shonen hero. shonen heroes almost always undergo character development DURING the story starts while gintoki has already been developed. And while most shonen heroes almost always succeed in reaching their goals, gintoki has failed spectacularly and in an insanely traumatic way. seriously you can find so many parallels between gintoki and real war veterans it's mind boggling. This is why he stands along with guts as one of my top two greatest protagonists in anime and manga.
@@kratosgow342 I think its highly unlikely that a childhood prank results in a grown man shitting his pants at the mere mention of the word "ghost". Maybe it does play a small part though.
@@foredee8496 you have no idea childhood prank can scared you for life even you grew up as an adult and I mean if you know Shoyo you know how trolling he can be at times
@@kratosgow342 I did say that it may play a small part. Plus when shoyo found gintoki i think he wasnt really so young as to be affected severely mentally by pranks. Just my opinion though.
I think his laziness can generally be explained by the fact that he had been through so much for most of his childhood that he's just tired now. And he's just 26-28
Even the homeless man ((Mushishi)) got a freaking backstory that broke my heart and he hardly popped up 😂 Gintama has been my favorite series for 10+ years and when I explained the story to my friend, while discussing with her why I loved it so much- she asked why we didn't just tell people what Gintama leads to- and I told her because it ruins the amazing rise Sorachi works to build, and being surprised by the punches Gintama throws at you with your bonds to it's characters is one of the greatest feelings to have.
Truee. It's so hard to recommend people Gintama. It doesn't get good at once, it needs building. But my friends are those who likes 12/24 episode anime that got right to the point, it's hard for them to try Gintama.
@@Nofian-s1g Yes, so many people don't have patience for something to build up, everyone wants to follow the "3 Ep. Rule" which really doesn't work. And everyone wants the plot handed to them right out the gate and always in their face, there's no such thing as just watching a series build up and piecing it together for people
To tell u the truth, Gintama is actually the only anime i have re-watched in my free times...like 3 times. I have watched the likes of Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, but to me...they don't come close to personality, characterization and life stuffs
Man im so happy you also noticed the nickname thingy, like its just so cool how its not fully like shown every episode every conversation every interaction, but that Sougo calls gintoki "boss" just says so so so so so so much and how he actually often looks like he looks up to gintoki sort of too, like these sorts of relationships makes the character in gintama feel like real people to me not some generic like idk shy character or something from one random anime, but that they actually feel like real people and thats one of the reasons gintama will always be so special to me
And that whole dynamic between Gintoki and Sogo makes sense since both have some similar personality traits, like their aloof and laid back attitude or comedic sadism, and also their whole rivalry with Hijikata, Sogo also slowly starts looking upto Gintoki as sort of a benchmark also, He was able understand how strong Utsuro is because he saw Gintoki having a very tough time against him and little details like that make their dynamic quite entertaining and same thing can be said about Kondo and Katusra, Hijikata and Kagura or Shinpachi and Yamazaki
2:35 "He forms different relationship with each character." *shows Gin and Madao* Me, knowing full well what happened in that episode : Yes *relationship* 👁👄👁
I’m currently 150 episodes into Gintama, and I feel like the arc so far that perfectly summarizes the energy of Gintama is the 2 episode arc about the dying dog. The show manages to take this serious, relatively cliche concept, take a left turn completely off the rails into an area of absolute nonsense, and by the end makes you an emotional wreck anyways. It’s something else.
You started with a dog who ate a blow up doll and end up crying for an old man and his pet for some reason. I can't find any other anime that comes close to that level of bs and tears
I've never ever seen an anime that's as genuine as Gintama... This is an anime where you rarely see a character grow/develop themselves, but instead this anime's characters grow inside of you...
same (/¯◡ ‿ ◡)/¯ ~ ┻━┻ I've watched reaction mashups and amv's. The more I rewatch Gintama (and gintama related) the more I fell deeply to it and the story.
I think one of the reasons that why people dont watch gintama is because most of the animes tell the purpose in the first episode like you said. Someone said if the first episodes not good they will never be good . But gintama isnt like that. You can never tell what the next episode will be about. Sorachi could show what happened to Shoyo in the beginnig but you would always think about that and not pay attention to anything else.
or some people hopping to bandwagon because the fights are great then when they watched the first...like what?? almost hundred episodes and all they got is comedy😂
IMO if episodes 11-13 don't hook you then Gintama's not for you tbh. They're the first actually serious episodes, they give us the first real insight into Gintoki's character and they first feature the recurring wholesome moments and character interactions.
@@deuce5546 a fair counterpoint. Some people got hooked as late as the Benizakura arc. Although it started to get my attention at exactly ep 13, some people consider the first 50 or so episodes a chore to watch, not realizing that its those same episodes that would set up the rest of gintama all the way through. Benizakura is the final stop on seeing whether or not you would enjoy it, as it's the very first significant tone change of gintama that's both action packed and foreshadowing. It's just gonna get better from that point on
Another strong point of Gintama is how well the female characters are written. This show have huge cast of women/girls and none of them feels like unnecessary character. They're equals with the male cast. As a woman myself, it feels refreshing
Yes! They all are plot relevant, with deep relationships with each other and are shown to be incredibly capable, independent and nuanced. Sorachi really emphasizes people are people, equal but unique. That’s another video I want to make.
I also said to myself why the hell does it have so much 10/10? Then I saw that it was available in complete Crunchyroll and I said to myself, why not ?, I'll see it all and well as you see my profile picture, damn I love this series and it is not my favorite shounen, because I saw One Piece first, but it sure has a place in my heart kept. How I love Kabukicho.
@@FierceAura gintama is rollercoaster journey of emotion. I understand why it's not that popular, people tend to treat gintama like shonen anime at first, they expect cool fights, cool villains, cool plots etc hence the disappointment. Its best to treat gintama as comedic sitcom at first, no need to rush, keep going on, and you'll be rewarded with some of the best fights and best arcs in shonen ever.
@@adyashady7681 it can be difficult to commit to absolutely, after a little while the comedy starts really becoming amazing and suddenly you’re hooked. Then you get hit by the feels when you least expect it.
@@FierceAura agree. I got hooked for life on mitsuba arc though. by that time, i feel like a already take the shinsengumi dynamic for granted, it just the way it is. But then mitsuba arc came, and it explained everything about them. and it made sense. we can relate, we can understand so much about shinsengumi dynamics just from that 2 eps. After that, i believe sorachi must have got an explanation for everything.
One of the things I love the most about Gintama is how events and actions we think have no actual purpose/ consequence turn out to be quite important. Watching that episode with Ikumatsu and Zura, I wouldn't have guessed that Zura would actually becomes a more moderate joi rebel like he does in the show. The entire episode with Ane and Mone came right back around and became quite important. And I never would have expected that Zura's catchphrase to be so important. PS: For those who haven't read the final manga chapters or watched the movie, when you do, it's gonna be one hell of a ride, ie. everytime I read this one chapter I end up in tears
The start may be slow, but keep watching I enjoyed some of the start actually don't skip a bunch to the serious moments cause when they come you'll miss the comedy
Good luck on your journey! It start slow and kinda boring (at least for me but there are those who loves it from the beginning), so take it easy and don't need to force yourself to binge watch it.
i'm still watching gintama and i'm not sure if i'll enjoy any other anime the same way i enjoy watching it (ಥ_ಥ) i regret not watching it earlier so YES THIS SHOW IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
Gintama Can make you laugh your lungs out Cry like a baby And teach you life lessons you will never forget For me : It's don't take the small things in life so seriously laugh and smile at these small issues But when the big Goals come and they will give it your all 110%" Because what we want to protect is here right here in our soul
I had been keeping my heart and postponing watching The Final and I finally did, ugly crying because I don’t know what to do with my life now. Gintama has been my comfort zone, my home and hope and amongst the many other shows I watched through the years, I’m back to season one. DOES is in my playlist too. This build-up, this journey was so emotional, fulfilling and actually really so so funny when the show decides to be funny. It’s crazy like life in reality is, but the backstory of each character makes you a better person, an emphatic person. Such a great masterpiece! ❤️
Just want to say, great review! I don't hear many people talk about Gintama so it's always nice to see. I really love hearing how the show has touched the lives of others. It's one I hold very near and dear to my heart and it makes me so happy others can get the same enjoyment from it. Stay safe and keep up the good work
Gintama is my favorite anime ... it still causes me a roller coaster of emotions despite knowing what will happen ... the big problem that as shonen people think they see action within the first 3 chapters and gintama does not do this until passing the 50 chapters .... The shonen normally you mind action, plot and then they are building the world that you will see, gintama is the other way around they build the whole world and then they drop the plot all at once ..... Many people It does not give this great anime a chance for the same reason, you have to see it with an open mind without rushing and it will never stop surprising you .... Something that makes me happy about 2020 is that many people are giving the opportunity to gintama what before it did not happen, it is quite undervalued when you know that you can contribute much more than most shonen
dude, this is such a good review, you did very well describing the emotions Gintama gave me when i was first watching the show, definitely using this vid to persuade my friends to watch Gintama
Finally, a fellow connoisseur of Gintama. I wish more people appreciated and watched this absolute masterpiece of an anime. I saw it 2 years ago and have been rewatching it lately and even after having seen close to 150 anime, I don't think I've loved a show and its characters as much as Gintama. It makes me sad that the manga and anime have ended because it's genuinely hard to imagine someone coming up with a gem like Gintama again.
I like how you touched on the differences in how Gintoki is being called by each character. It’s something I really paid attention to (in all anime I watch really) but especially here in Gintama it’s so fascinating. Perhaps due to the many characters and relationships they all have with each other (Zura is another one with fascinating dynamics with different characters like Kagura as you mentioned). My favorite would of course be Gin-chan by Kagura it’s just sooo cute. Great video! Your voice is also soothing and reminds me so much of Aleczandxr
The only people who hate on Gintama are those who haven’t watched the entirety or ONLY watched the serious arcs without getting context and buildup from the other episodes
Gintama basically saved my life some years ago. It’s my favorite anime. I don’t know if is the best and I don’t care is it’s not. My love for Gintama and Gintoki are beyond being a “good form of entertainment”
This is a review that summarizes everything beautiful about Gintama in a nonspoilery way. I loved it and hope you can make a video about one of your favorite Gintama episodes
Love this review! I agree with you about how every villain is treated as a normal human being and deserves to show their good sides too. I just love the way Sorachi did with the character developments and plot even if it gets side track most of the times, when you'll the whole thing, you'll understand why it was written like that. Those small easter eggs, their parodies, their songs and graphics are just amazing. That's why Gintama will always be my favorite anime/manga.
Im on ep 104 and I already feel sad af. I know there are like 200+ more episodes but it feels like it flies soo fast. Gintama is the only show that made me sad when I havent even watched half of it
You deserve more subscribes it’s such a good Aesthetic and engaging review n you catches Gintama fans feelings like me spot on and how it feels to watch Gintama
Hello! I love your review. I've been a gintama fan since 2013 when I first saw it. I remembered watching one clip about an episode that really rolled me on the floor laughing that's why I gave it a shot and now it became my favorite anime and manga of all time. The story building is very amazing, all those episodes that may seem unimportant will really surprise you of how well connected it is in later arcs. Glad you loved it 😊💕
You got a subscription man, you explained everything so Entertainingly and got everything and every point right from the small details to the larger than life scenes. Gintama is my Fav anime so what I want to say is: Respect. 👌
As someone who is also currently working on a Gintama video, I loved every bit of this review and I hope that others who see this video are convinced to give the show a watch! My favorite anime of all time!! Thank you for giving the anime the respect it deserves! :) Subbed and looking forward to your future videos!
It took me all the way from October 2020 to April 2021 to watch Gintama. I thought it would be overrated. I mean, come on, a shonen/comedy/slice-of-life with over 300 episodes? That's like half of the stuff I don't like about anime, this is going to suck... But then, something incredible happened. I liked it, and then I really liked it, and not long after that it had become one of my favourite anime of all time. Gintama is one of those shows that subverts your expectations in all the best ways, and you really can't tell how much you'll fall in love with it until you sit down, buckle up, and give it a chance. Also, yes, Hasegawa is objectively the best character in Japanese fiction.
Yeah I approached it thinking I would like it, but never to the point where now I think it’s one of if not my favorite anime ever. MADAO will bloom one day
im still going through it but the first like major super serious arc the benizukara arc is really good and it likes kinda expands the character of gintoki and his past and i cant wait what actually happend to him from what i heard hes one of the best if not the best anime protagonist or one of the best ones
I kinda feel envious of that feeling cause I've finished the whole thing a while back. It'd be nice to forget it all and feel all those feelings fresh again. Ah well. Enjoy the ride!
My favorite intro episode is the one where Ms Otosei gives that old guy the free dumpling The strawberry milk jokes are just funny and stupid to the point where you cringe and laugh you’re ass off at the same time
In another anime, the person that the protagonist would swore to protect would be some generic shonen heroine. In gintama, Gintoki swore to protect Otose, an old landlord.
Gintama, the anime that made me love the entire cast of characters (A HUGE CAST TOO) and who would have thought that I would care so much about the legend known as Madao? Before I knew it, Gintama stole my heart and left it in tatters.
Honestly I've read the manga (after the anime) and plan to both reread (everything) and rewatch everything but I'm really sad that the movie's finally gonna mean the end of gintama. It's quite literally my favorite and it's gonna leave a hole after such a comedic and dramatic masterpiece.
Yeah... In June 2019 I started Gintama and put it on hold for 1 year at episode 20... (I watched in the course of a year 7 episodes) and at June 2020 I started it resumed watching Gintama.... It saved 2020 in my opinion because its the best anime ever the funniest anime ever with the greatest anime character AND the greatest opening of all time (Sakura Mitsutsuki) So don't make the same mistake I did just watch it (skip episodes 1-2 then watch till 265 then the movie "forever yorozuya" then resume the anime then at episode 296 stop watching and watch the ova "love incense" then resume the anime till 367 then semi final then the Final Movie 😭😭😭😭 (I'm sure you all will agree with me that Gintama is the greatest anime of all time and it will be your favorite...
Gintama is the kind of anime that you dont need to binge (but I binge it lol) I found this anime on watchmojo because its always in the top 10 of something and then when I saw MAL I was shocked that there were so many gintama and I tried to watch it and dropped it because it bored me lol and then I try again and it bored me again and I just watch 2-3 episodes of it per day until I reached the benizakura arc and that literally caught me off guard lol and after that arc I started to enjoy every episodes and binge it and when I reach the Shogun Assassination Arc it became my favorite anime.SA and FS Arc really change my life and my views and it made me a better person.Thats why even with all the flaws Gintama will always be 10/10 anime for me
Gintama is amazing how fresh it feels with its humor being different than other amines. It can be hard for people to get into the series due to how long it is but after you get to know a few characters the show ramps so fast into one of the most fun anime.
Gintama, through it's comedy (it's parodies mostly), is the only anime that has made feel that everyone in the studio working on it, loves it as much as I do
Gintama is the best anime i've chanced upon and it is well worth the wait for the more serious arcs. Easily my top 2 anime of all time. Also, the majority of the samurais depicted in Gintama are based on real people from the Edo period: Okita, Takasugi, Kondo, Hijikata, Sakamoto, Matsudaira and others.
I just found Gintama a few weeks ago. The show is exceptional comedy intermixed with some great existential moments. Sort of like a funnier Rick and Morty I don't watch too much anime, but I can't believe I have never come across it before
I just finished Gintama a week ago and I have to rewatch it because I loved it just to much. I loved the characters, almost every single one of them are memorable, I loved when it made me laugh and 3 after I was crying - talking about ep.189
The relationship between tones really goes both ways. Rewatching Gintama is a completely different experience once you know where the characters are coming from and can see how their relationship gradually changes, all the details and layered jokes and callbacks that fly on by. It had already become my favorite anime ever 100 episodes in, but it somehow keeps getting better. Not just the new material, but the old stuff that gets recontextualized. It is undoubtedly the greatest work ever penned by a gorilla.
I just can't stop from appreciating Gintama.... And I really really wish I could watch Gintama for the first time again and again, just stuck in a time loop everytime resetting my memory of it. I'm making my own indie-manga that I have planned to release on GlobalComix, 2024, and Gintama is the reason this story project is finally in its development phase, and it'll be a love letter to Hideaki Sorachi and Gintama, I just hope I'm able to pull it off and give this manga it's own identity.....

same (/¯◡ ‿ ◡)/¯ ~ ┻━┻ I've watched reaction mashups and amv's. The more I rewatch Gintama (and gintama related) the more I fell deeply to it and the story.
I feel empty :')
@@Vishakhapathak27978 😢 same here
I think one of the reasons that why people dont watch gintama is because most of the animes tell the purpose in the first episode like you said. Someone said if the first episodes not good they will never be good . But gintama isnt like that. You can never tell what the next episode will be about. Sorachi could show what happened to Shoyo in the beginnig but you would always think about that and not pay attention to anything else.
Or some just flat out saying it is just a parody or just shitting on other anime and pop culture.
or some people hopping to bandwagon because the fights are great then when they watched the first...like what?? almost hundred episodes and all they got is comedy😂
IMO if episodes 11-13 don't hook you then Gintama's not for you tbh. They're the first actually serious episodes, they give us the first real insight into Gintoki's character and they first feature the recurring wholesome moments and character interactions.
@@deuce5546 a fair counterpoint. Some people got hooked as late as the Benizakura arc. Although it started to get my attention at exactly ep 13, some people consider the first 50 or so episodes a chore to watch, not realizing that its those same episodes that would set up the rest of gintama all the way through. Benizakura is the final stop on seeing whether or not you would enjoy it, as it's the very first significant tone change of gintama that's both action packed and foreshadowing. It's just gonna get better from that point on
Sometimes I wanted to erase my memory so I could see gintama as if it were the first time. Again.
This show is just masterpiece
Another strong point of Gintama is how well the female characters are written. This show have huge cast of women/girls and none of them feels like unnecessary character. They're equals with the male cast. As a woman myself, it feels refreshing
Yes! They all are plot relevant, with deep relationships with each other and are shown to be incredibly capable, independent and nuanced. Sorachi really emphasizes people are people, equal but unique. That’s another video I want to make.
heck he even trolling a lot of people who shipping Kondo with Otae in one of episode in Silver Soul arc
Yeah! And i love gintama girls character is'nt useless like other anime
I also said to myself why the hell does it have so much 10/10? Then I saw that it was available in complete Crunchyroll and I said to myself, why not ?, I'll see it all and well as you see my profile picture, damn I love this series and it is not my favorite shounen, because I saw One Piece first, but it sure has a place in my heart kept. How I love Kabukicho.
9:49 gintoki fangirls all stood up(including me)
Yasss, more love for Gintama! Still my fave anime to this day. Thank you!
One of my favorites now too! oddjobs forever!
@@FierceAura gintama is rollercoaster journey of emotion. I understand why it's not that popular, people tend to treat gintama like shonen anime at first, they expect cool fights, cool villains, cool plots etc hence the disappointment. Its best to treat gintama as comedic sitcom at first, no need to rush, keep going on, and you'll be rewarded with some of the best fights and best arcs in shonen ever.
@@adyashady7681 it can be difficult to commit to absolutely, after a little while the comedy starts really becoming amazing and suddenly you’re hooked. Then you get hit by the feels when you least expect it.
@@FierceAura agree. I got hooked for life on mitsuba arc though. by that time, i feel like a already take the shinsengumi dynamic for granted, it just the way it is. But then mitsuba arc came, and it explained everything about them. and it made sense. we can relate, we can understand so much about shinsengumi dynamics just from that 2 eps. After that, i believe sorachi must have got an explanation for everything.
Be Forever Yorozuya!
the peeing in bed speech was so powerful. It shook me to my core
Bro Spyair is my fave band. So glad i found them through Gintama
One thing to add,the fight scenes in gintama are so unique and godly
One of the things I love the most about Gintama is how events and actions we think have no actual purpose/ consequence turn out to be quite important. Watching that episode with Ikumatsu and Zura, I wouldn't have guessed that Zura would actually becomes a more moderate joi rebel like he does in the show. The entire episode with Ane and Mone came right back around and became quite important. And I never would have expected that Zura's catchphrase to be so important.
PS: For those who haven't read the final manga chapters or watched the movie, when you do, it's gonna be one hell of a ride, ie. everytime I read this one chapter I end up in tears
I might give this a watch.. I've been putting off this anime for so long and this just convinced me to watch it. Thanks! :D
Highly recommended!
Very highly recommended
The start may be slow, but keep watching I enjoyed some of the start actually don't skip a bunch to the serious moments cause when they come you'll miss the comedy
Damn this was me 3 years ago wish I could experience it like it was brand new all again
Good luck on your journey! It start slow and kinda boring (at least for me but there are those who loves it from the beginning), so take it easy and don't need to force yourself to binge watch it.
Remember everyone watch the Semi-Final before the Movie when y'all get the chance!
Where?
@@uzidagod I have no idea where to officially watch it. A quick Google search can probably lead you somewhere
@@thehollowlingwin alright
Zura janai katsura da
the movie will be hella tear-inducing, especially knowing this is TRULY the end, no sneaky comebacks, no lies, nope, this is really it.
i'm still watching gintama and i'm not sure if i'll enjoy any other anime the same way i enjoy watching it (ಥ_ಥ) i regret not watching it earlier so YES THIS SHOW IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
Gintama
Can make you laugh your lungs out
Cry like a baby
And teach you life lessons you will never forget
For me : It's don't take the small things in life so seriously laugh and smile at these small issues
But when the big Goals come and they will give it your all 110%"
Because what we want to protect is here right here in our soul
I had been keeping my heart and postponing watching The Final and I finally did, ugly crying because I don’t know what to do with my life now. Gintama has been my comfort zone, my home and hope and amongst the many other shows I watched through the years, I’m back to season one. DOES is in my playlist too. This build-up, this journey was so emotional, fulfilling and actually really so so funny when the show decides to be funny. It’s crazy like life in reality is, but the backstory of each character makes you a better person, an emphatic person. Such a great masterpiece! ❤️
A Gintama review with the Octopath Traveler OST in the background? Love it. And agree with all the points you made too!
Just want to say, great review! I don't hear many people talk about Gintama so it's always nice to see.
I really love hearing how the show has touched the lives of others. It's one I hold very near and dear to my heart and it makes me so happy others can get the same enjoyment from it.
Stay safe and keep up the good work
Gintama is my favorite anime ... it still causes me a roller coaster of emotions despite knowing what will happen ... the big problem that as shonen people think they see action within the first 3 chapters and gintama does not do this until passing the 50 chapters .... The shonen normally you mind action, plot and then they are building the world that you will see, gintama is the other way around they build the whole world and then they drop the plot all at once ..... Many people It does not give this great anime a chance for the same reason, you have to see it with an open mind without rushing and it will never stop surprising you .... Something that makes me happy about 2020 is that many people are giving the opportunity to gintama what before it did not happen, it is quite undervalued when you know that you can contribute much more than most shonen
❤
dude, this is such a good review, you did very well describing the emotions Gintama gave me when i was first watching the show, definitely using this vid to persuade my friends to watch Gintama
Really appreciate that! Please do!
@@FierceAura ok update, managed to convince one of my friends to watch Gintama after they finish reading Dr. Stone manga
Finally, a fellow connoisseur of Gintama. I wish more people appreciated and watched this absolute masterpiece of an anime. I saw it 2 years ago and have been rewatching it lately and even after having seen close to 150 anime, I don't think I've loved a show and its characters as much as Gintama. It makes me sad that the manga and anime have ended because it's genuinely hard to imagine someone coming up with a gem like Gintama again.
No lies on that when you said “legendary”
I like how you touched on the differences in how Gintoki is being called by each character. It’s something I really paid attention to (in all anime I watch really) but especially here in Gintama it’s so fascinating. Perhaps due to the many characters and relationships they all have with each other (Zura is another one with fascinating dynamics with different characters like Kagura as you mentioned). My favorite would of course be Gin-chan by Kagura it’s just sooo cute. Great video! Your voice is also soothing and reminds me so much of Aleczandxr
The only people who hate on Gintama are those who haven’t watched the entirety or ONLY watched the serious arcs without getting context and buildup from the other episodes
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. It is my favorite series of all time, it truly is something special. Great review.
Gintama basically saved my life some years ago. It’s my favorite anime. I don’t know if is the best and I don’t care is it’s not. My love for Gintama and Gintoki are beyond being a “good form of entertainment”
This is a review that summarizes everything beautiful about Gintama in a nonspoilery way. I loved it and hope you can make a video about one of your favorite Gintama episodes
Love this review! I agree with you about how every villain is treated as a normal human being and deserves to show their good sides too. I just love the way Sorachi did with the character developments and plot even if it gets side track most of the times, when you'll the whole thing, you'll understand why it was written like that. Those small easter eggs, their parodies, their songs and graphics are just amazing. That's why Gintama will always be my favorite anime/manga.
Im on ep 104 and I already feel sad af. I know there are like 200+ more episodes but it feels like it flies soo fast. Gintama is the only show that made me sad when I havent even watched half of it
Gintama is my perfect anime I absolutely love it and It’s my favourite anime of all time and gintoki is my favourite main character in anime
You deserve more subscribes it’s such a good Aesthetic and engaging review n you catches Gintama fans feelings like me spot on and how it feels to watch Gintama
Im back, happy new year everyone! Here's a video on Hunter x Hunter if you like this kind of content: th-cam.com/video/bHCysvpvv8Y/w-d-xo.html
There are 0 dislikes after a month. Everyone loves Gintama lol
@@adarshsridhar6051 So true!
@@FierceAura sadly 4 dislikes now but u got my like
I appreciate it!
The best review I've heard so far, and you're voice is so soothing. Gintama is truly one of the greats.
BRO that was so accurate....you need more subs.
great video
I appreciate it! I’m trying to make new content for everyone.
Hello! I love your review. I've been a gintama fan since 2013 when I first saw it. I remembered watching one clip about an episode that really rolled me on the floor laughing that's why I gave it a shot and now it became my favorite anime and manga of all time. The story building is very amazing, all those episodes that may seem unimportant will really surprise you of how well connected it is in later arcs. Glad you loved it 😊💕
You got a subscription man, you explained everything so Entertainingly and got everything and every point right from the small details to the larger than life scenes. Gintama is my Fav anime so what I want to say is: Respect. 👌
appreciate the support!
As someone who is also currently working on a Gintama video, I loved every bit of this review and I hope that others who see this video are convinced to give the show a watch! My favorite anime of all time!! Thank you for giving the anime the respect it deserves! :) Subbed and looking forward to your future videos!
Thanks! Good luck with your video!
Honestly, this is probably the best video review of my favorite series of all time. Thanks for this!
not even 500 subs with a really great review, respect for this 11min vid
Thanks! I try!
Great video! Gintama is my favorite show ever!!! I really didn't expect I'd cry that much on a "comedy" show.
The Strawberry Milk speech should be thought in History Class
When that one stupid joke that made you laugh the last 50 time it was made suddently breaks your heart instead
It took me all the way from October 2020 to April 2021 to watch Gintama. I thought it would be overrated. I mean, come on, a shonen/comedy/slice-of-life with over 300 episodes? That's like half of the stuff I don't like about anime, this is going to suck...
But then, something incredible happened. I liked it, and then I really liked it, and not long after that it had become one of my favourite anime of all time. Gintama is one of those shows that subverts your expectations in all the best ways, and you really can't tell how much you'll fall in love with it until you sit down, buckle up, and give it a chance.
Also, yes, Hasegawa is objectively the best character in Japanese fiction.
Yeah I approached it thinking I would like it, but never to the point where now I think it’s one of if not my favorite anime ever.
MADAO will bloom one day
im still going through it but the first like major super serious arc the benizukara arc is really good and it likes kinda expands the character of gintoki and his past and i cant wait what actually happend to him from what i heard hes one of the best if not the best anime protagonist or one of the best ones
He’s one of my favorite protagonists ever now so I can agree with that!
@@FierceAura Aye man thats cool he will probably will be on my list too.
I kinda feel envious of that feeling cause I've finished the whole thing a while back. It'd be nice to forget it all and feel all those feelings fresh again. Ah well. Enjoy the ride!
@@dll7658 thx.
I have three brothers. I suggested Gintama to my brother he found it “boring” so now I have 2 brothers 🥰🥰
BAHAHAHS
My favorite intro episode is the one where Ms Otosei gives that old guy the free dumpling The strawberry milk jokes are just funny and stupid to the point where you cringe and laugh you’re ass off at the same time
That was great ! you motivated me to get back into gintama (I'm about 1/3 of the way through the show)
Good to hear!
This show, if it gets serious has the best fight scenes I have personally ever seen in anime
Just wait till you see the very final movie!!!
@@FierceAura I saw, and it was just of the charts
In another anime, the person that the protagonist would swore to protect would be some generic shonen heroine.
In gintama, Gintoki swore to protect Otose, an old landlord.
Gintama, the anime that made me love the entire cast of characters (A HUGE CAST TOO) and who would have thought that I would care so much about the legend known as Madao? Before I knew it, Gintama stole my heart and left it in tatters.
What an absolutely brilliant video about an absolutely brilliant show
This video was amazingly reviewed im glad you enjoyed this masterpiece of an anime.
Thanks!
Honestly I've read the manga (after the anime) and plan to both reread (everything) and rewatch everything but I'm really sad that the movie's finally gonna mean the end of gintama. It's quite literally my favorite and it's gonna leave a hole after such a comedic and dramatic masterpiece.
Gintama is a legend
One of my top 5 favourite show
Yeah... In June 2019 I started Gintama and put it on hold for 1 year at episode 20... (I watched in the course of a year 7 episodes) and at June 2020 I started it resumed watching Gintama....
It saved 2020 in my opinion because its the best anime ever the funniest anime ever with the greatest anime character AND the greatest opening of all time (Sakura Mitsutsuki)
So don't make the same mistake I did just watch it (skip episodes 1-2 then watch till 265 then the movie "forever yorozuya" then resume the anime then at episode 296 stop watching and watch the ova "love incense" then resume the anime till 367 then semi final then the Final Movie 😭😭😭😭 (I'm sure you all will agree with me that Gintama is the greatest anime of all time and it will be your favorite...
Thank you for making this video! Not too many people talk about Gintama on TH-cam😪.
Oh man, my favorite anime that granted me a month’s worth of entertainment
Gintama is beyond a Masterpiece
Very good review! Gintama is such a good comfort anime and one of my absolute favorite, more people should know about it tho.
I love how you used xenoblade chronicles title screen’s ost when talking the legendary ost of gintama
Everyone should get to experience the amazing clusterfuck of a show, that is Gintama
Gintama is the kind of anime that you dont need to binge (but I binge it lol) I found this anime on watchmojo because its always in the top 10 of something and then when I saw MAL I was shocked that there were so many gintama and I tried to watch it and dropped it because it bored me lol and then I try again and it bored me again and I just watch 2-3 episodes of it per day until I reached the benizakura arc and that literally caught me off guard lol and after that arc I started to enjoy every episodes and binge it and when I reach the Shogun Assassination Arc it became my favorite anime.SA and FS Arc really change my life and my views and it made me a better person.Thats why even with all the flaws Gintama will always be 10/10 anime for me
My favorite anime ever. Thank you for this reiew
Great video.. Good to see people talking about Gintama
Gintama is amazing how fresh it feels with its humor being different than other amines. It can be hard for people to get into the series due to how long it is but after you get to know a few characters the show ramps so fast into one of the most fun anime.
From a literary standpoint this show does everything right. Great video hitting on the best points
Gintama, through it's comedy (it's parodies mostly), is the only anime that has made feel that everyone in the studio working on it, loves it as much as I do
"my playlists are mostly gintama now", glad to hear that im not the only one
Great video, I especially like the music used in this video.
Great video! seriously this was really good
The question is: Did Madao finally bloom?
He sorta did :'D
He already bloomed long ago
Even I watched gintama during lockdown, and it's one the best anime. They are at top 3 in my best anime list
Gintama is the best anime i've chanced upon and it is well worth the wait for the more serious arcs. Easily my top 2 anime of all time.
Also, the majority of the samurais depicted in Gintama are based on real people from the Edo period: Okita, Takasugi, Kondo, Hijikata, Sakamoto, Matsudaira and others.
I've seen the anime and i'm reading the manga from the scratch. All in all phenomenal series.
I just found Gintama a few weeks ago. The show is exceptional comedy intermixed with some great existential moments. Sort of like a funnier Rick and Morty
I don't watch too much anime, but I can't believe I have never come across it before
I just finished Gintama a week ago and I have to rewatch it because I loved it just to much. I loved the characters, almost every single one of them are memorable, I loved when it made me laugh and 3 after I was crying - talking about ep.189
Dude that was an excellent work. Thank you. ありがとうアル
どういたしましてアル
The relationship between tones really goes both ways. Rewatching Gintama is a completely different experience once you know where the characters are coming from and can see how their relationship gradually changes, all the details and layered jokes and callbacks that fly on by.
It had already become my favorite anime ever 100 episodes in, but it somehow keeps getting better. Not just the new material, but the old stuff that gets recontextualized. It is undoubtedly the greatest work ever penned by a gorilla.
I just can't stop from appreciating Gintama....
And I really really wish I could watch Gintama for the first time again and again, just stuck in a time loop everytime resetting my memory of it.
I'm making my own indie-manga that I have planned to release on GlobalComix, 2024, and Gintama is the reason this story project is finally in its development phase, and it'll be a love letter to Hideaki Sorachi and Gintama, I just hope I'm able to pull it off and give this manga it's own identity.....
Bless Sorachi for doing Gintama and given us something so memorable, I doubt would ever be replicated 💕💕💕
