Just a question for fans of the series, is Gintama all comedy, or is their actually a story behind it? Because I read the latest chapter(at the time) a few weeks ago, and it actually seemed really serious so I got really confused.

If someone could clarify, then thanks.

I only watch anime, and avoid manga because of spoilers...

Gintama is kinda like parody, I guess...
It jokes with pretty much everything, and it breaks 4th wall quite lot of time.

For most part it's comedy, but the brilliant thing about it is that it often its arcs become really emotional and touching, even from things that were hilarious.

If you are expecting it, and want it to be a battle shonen like Dragon Ball, then this isn't for you.

Gintama is NOT a parody. It just makes good parodies but gintama could as well do a good series without it. It's just so funny because those awesome jokes and the good parodies it makes. But as I said it isn't a parodiy, it just makes good one.

Hm. Now I'm waiting for the Jump-Festa AND and OVA. This will gonna be good!

One episode only? Okay, why not. They can animate the anime sequel another time. Like when the manga actually finishes so we can get another 52ep-run. As the manga looks like it's going to finish soon (in about 1 or 2 years ;P ) that might not take too long.

Yeah, just like after Gintama the movie - The "final" chapter".^^

Man, after reading "Manga 'Gintama' Gets" I was getting so pumped for a new season and then I read OVA... Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

The only negative points about this is, that it's not a new Season and that it will take so long until I'm able to watch this OVA. (btw we're also got the "tearful" Special which should air soon)

Its a comedy show that can pretty much do whatever it wants and switches between episodic and arc driven, as the show gets out f its first year it starts tapping into more of a dramedy dynamic in certain episodes and arcs with a small but notable few generally being called the serious arcs, im 99% certain you may have read the serious arc going on in the manga right now which ive heard was quite bloody. The series is still dominantly a comedy though and a damn great one at that.
