| My brother keeps telling me to watch it I'm on ep 43 but its the most boring show I've ever watched akame ga kill is more entertaining then gintama and I hate akame ga kill can anyone give me a answer or tell me to skip till when it actually gets good? |
| kek it doesn't you've gone that far and you don't find it interesting yet? this anime probably isn't for you. |

| If you don't like it by 43 episodes... You should drop it. Gintama is quite overrated. |

| Gintama gets good around the point you stop waiting for it to be good. I know that isn't a helpful answer, but it's the most accurate. I started loving the show as soon as I stopped thinking about peoples' opinions regarding when it hits its peak and just started watching it for what it is. That said, if you're that far in and still not enjoying it at all, it's probably just not your kind of anime, so you should probably drop it. You're actually further in than I am lel. |

Also just because it's not funny to you, if a lot of other people thought it was funny, that means it just didn't fit your tastes not that it's overrated. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| I once watched the first 12 minutes of episode one and never found the motivation to continue. Better off that way, I imagine. Too many episodes that could be a waste of time. |
 |
| You need to watch up to episode 201 to appreciate it. I promise you it gets 10 times better after that. |

Most people recommend you to skip the first two episodes, but I'm not going to try to get you to start it again now. If you don't like it, you won't like it. |

19990930 said: I'm on episode 4, and it is boring af. Does it get any better after episode 4? I'd try to extend it till more or less episode 30 or so, once the character introduction episodes are set and you can have an approximate look of how they work in context. If nothing gets significantly better at that point I don't see the point in trying. |
| I was like that too when I first started watching. People kept saying it got better after ep 50 (maybe because it's the first major arc). When you get pass that the pacing remains with some better arcs every 10 episodes or so. I'm on ep 165 now. Though watching random episodes feels like a chore sometimes... |
 |
| It gets good when you stop fuckin thinking about when it gets good and enjoying it for the comedy. I have to agree that the first 2 episode are a pretty bad start but beside that.. |

| When Gintama gets good, it's too late. You'll be at the point where you would say "I want to watch something else." |
| I found that Gintama started to become good around the 40 episode mark. Still, i personally found it to be a little inconstant with its comedy, but it is pretty hilarious at times. |

Just move on. Nobody is going to convince you with a magic trick to enjoy a show you should know very well at this point. |

| Kinda between 20 and 50 episodes into it. |
 |
| You cant enjoy Gintama if you keep expecting sth from it. I'm on episode ~220 now, what i can tell you are: -when its at peak, Gintama is the funniest anime on planet. (according to my taste of comedy) -serious acrs/moments are bullshit (dont expect anything from it) -Gintama is best at turning every situation into comedy, sucked at warp thing up tho. -A lot of likable casts. EDIT: OH and to answer your question. What episode does gintama get good?.... hmm. i kinda like it from the start, tho everything is even better after more characters is introduced. so probably 50 or 80 i guess. |

| I feel like if you didn't watch/read gintama back when it first started the ep count will overwhelm you and the mal score dosent help since only people who absolutely love I rate it and keep going while the one who didn't like it dropped it long ago. It depends on what you're looking for to know if you'll like gintama. |
 |
| Gintama is the greatest tv show ever. If you don't enjoy it drop it. |
| Im not sure, Im on episode 60 and I havent seen anything good... |
  "Here's our chance! Let's go!" |
| I thought the same thing about Gintama until it got to the episode about the roaches and ghost woman. Then I found it hilarious. But you're on the 43rd episode and still don't like it? If you haven't laughed at least once, it's not your type of show. |

If you want to enjoy it then you need to consciously keep telling your inner self that "Gintama is good Gintama is good" while watching it so that you can self hypnotize yourself into thinking that its actually good even though its really bad.  |

Soren said: I better wait 10 years till it goes to that episodeEpisode 547. That's when the anime finally makes a turning point |
| Show for me was basically like: episode 1-20, rate it about a 4/10 if being generous episode 20-50, a high 6/10 to low 7/10 episode 50-100, high 8/10 episode 100- current, high 9/10 Imjustthatdude said: I dont think the series is gonna last more than 30 more episodes at this pointSoren said: I better wait 10 years till it goes to that episodeEpisode 547.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
Imjustthatdude said: Trust me, it does not get good at any point. I watched all of Gintama, because people kept telling me "dude, it is going to get better, you gonna love it."

Stop listening to your friends.My brother keeps telling me to watch it I'm on ep 43 but its the most boring show I've ever watched akame ga kill is more entertaining then gintama and I hate akame ga kill can anyone give me a answer or tell me to skip till when it actually gets good? |
 |
| ^ That awkward moment when it legitimately is as good as everyone hypes it up to be, and is very much deserving of it's top ten ranking. Kek. |
|
| I loved it from the very first episode. But I had a friend who's a big fan of Gintama and he showed me a few different random episodes so I knew that I'd like it but wasn't sure about starting it from the beginning cause I heard things about "it doesn't get good until 40 episodes in", but I'm on episode 6 now and I just love it. It pretty much all depends on whether you like that parody-like brand of humor and characters. I think of it as the Family Guy of anime, but with more touching scenes. I admit I actually teared up on episode 6 even though it was the most cliche kind of story you could ever find. It's all in the style and presentation, imo. I definitely wouldn't sit through 40+ episodes of a show that I found boring... Besides it's kind of obvious that jokes build upon previous jokes and the show isn't going to suddenly change the characters and style of humour so if you don't like it from the first few episodes just drop it. No need to carry on with something just cause it's a very popular show. |

Why didn't you just say "I didn't like it, so therefore it's shit" @OT I liked it after 3-4 episodes, when you'll like it depends quite a bit. Some say 50 episodes, some say 200 (must be the trolls who didn't even watch it or just didn't like it), others say ep 20. It varies from person to person. Try watching until the first major serious arc (starts at ep 55 iirc) and see whether you liked what you got in between that. If you didn't, just drop it. |

| Gintama doesn't magically get better all of a sudden. Rather it's consistently inconsistent. The comedy episodes are generally great whereas the serious story arcs generally aren't. And since the two sides are mixed together, you basically end up with an incredibly uneven anime That aside I'll agree that the comedy wasn't quite as funny as often in the beginning compared to later ones, but it's still not a huge improvement. It's more about adapting to Gintama than waiting for Gintama to adapt to you |
  |
| ^That's some bs there. The story arcs are a good mix to the fantastic comedy. Shogun/yoshiwara in flames for exmaple are one of the best arcs in anime/manga. What makes Gintama though is the amazing cast of characters. No other series has such greatness to offer. You should drop it. If you didn't like it until now, it just isn't for you. The few in here who call it shit are just butthurt because Gintama > their favorites. It deserves to be at the top, because it is that good. |
