Can someone explain me that why Gintama is one of the Top 10 anime on MAL ? By looking at the High ratings and positive reviews, I also started watching it. I have completed 30 episodes and and there is literally Nothing except POOP Jokes & Nose Picking Jokes & other Episodic Shit. I know its a "Parody" anime so I had already watched other Shounen anime like (Naruto, DB, One Piece, Doraemon etc which they mention) but thats also very unfunny. I know that we should not judge a Book by its cover, but I had seen 30 episodes. So Does it even gets better or keep on going like this ? Should I hope for getting good or Drop it right now ? Because its very difficult to stay hooked to it...... |

gintama makes a lot of anime references so i guess if u haven’t watched the anime they mention, it wouldn’t be that funny. you could say gintama isn’t for everyone though, i like it because it’s comedic throughout with some backstories in between. it’s something i’d watch if i don’t want too much plot in my face :” hope this helps |

Look man its actually very good but if you don't like it don't insult it as "POOP". Most of the people liked it and its nostalgia for anyone who read the manga in childhood look i am not saying you are wierd or anything for not liking that anime,its cool you don't like it its fine but if it's in top 10 it is definitely a good anime. For me one of the best fights on gintama was gintoki vs takasugi and if you are watching a long anime like 300eps long you need patience |

Gintama is known for a having a slow start. Try watching up until around episode 60 (the Benizakura arc) it starts to get real good |

Gintama is not for everybody. If you think it's boring I don't blame, it's very hard get into. You need to watch a lot of it to like it. |

Yeah, it has a slow start with not so good starting episodes but trusts me it will get a lot better the more you watch it which will make you hook in no time. |

Well it's because mal counts your rating only after you've seen 1/3rd of the show. Many people drop gintama by 30th episode becuz it's boring as hell but there rating doesn't count. that's why S1 on anilist has rating of 8.5 meanwhile on here it has rating of almost 9 |

Simple peoples like it and so this is in top 10. Now the anime gradually gets better and wait for some little more episodes. You have yet more to go to see their parody and how funny it is. It's full of good comedy and jokes I don't know if you get it or not. Keep watching and see for yourself if it's good or not but please don't call any anime poop without watching it man. btw all the best if you keep watching you'll enjoy it. |

You know that if you don't like something doesn't mean that someone else also dislikes it... It's so high rated cuz it's good and funny, just bcz you don't like it doesn't mean it's a bad anime....... |

rotaman14 said: fight are boring? What are you even talking about gintama has some of the most intense and well build up fights in shounen but if you don't like it great but that doesn't mean they're bad just because it doesn't have an unrealistic power system type of stuff I like sword fight cause they feel pretty realistic and are way more brutal than fights which involve power system and humor of gintama isnt based on poop jokes its based on other anime reference , parody and Japanese culture , sexsual jokes too so saying it only male poop jokes isnt a correct statementIt honestly isn‘t good or funny, the „serious“ arcs that get praised a lot are pretty boring too @Gureidei @RecklessOtaku1 He didn‘t say the anime is poop, he said it makes a lot of jokes about poop, which it does. That‘s called fecal humor and not many people like it. Learn to read. |

It's okay if you don't like it. I put it on hold twice in 6 month until episode 103 and continue watching then it turns very good after that. The main plot is so fucking good man 👌🏽. If you don't like it just drop it, don't waste your time watching show that you are not interested. |

Its highly rated because MAL doesn't count scores of people who dropped it early on, and the later seasons have higher scores due to survivorship bias. If you don't like the show just drop it, not worth watching some show that you find boring even if other people like it. Imo the humor is pretty bad and the first "serious arc" that fans always say to watch before dropping is average at best, dropped it soon after completing that arc. |

It's funny, the story arcs are very good and the fights are awesome. I agree that some of the early comedy episodes don't always hit the mark though. |

It doesn't get better. Just watch serious arcs and skip everything else like me. Only 10% of people able to complete it that's the reason why score is so high because everybody drops it. |

Because its very difficult to stay hooked to it...... Uhmm first off, it's mostly a comedy anime. What did you expect? I'll be real with anyone going to read this. If you don't find the humor funny, then please please please don't watch Gintama just because it has a high rating and later berate the show because you didn't find it enjoyable. It mostly incorporates Japanese humor, so if you don't find it funny then I'll assume Japanese humor isn't for you. A lot of references were made with regards to the Japanese people in mind, that also may be why it's not funny to you and bear in mind again: "It's a comedy anime", Gintama doesn't have a slow start, we just fail to pick up on the comedical content after a handful of episodes later. Finish Gintama and rewatch it again, you'll see what I'm talking about. Second, the serious arc starts at the Benizakura Arc (Episode 60... I think). If that also doesn't convince you to continue Gintama, please, just drop it. Nothing else will convince you anymore. But if you do continue, by a slim chance, you'll definitely see why it's the best. Again, it's a comedy anime, so if you don't find it funny, then probably you didn't understand some of the references or maybe you just don't understand and appreciate Japanese humor like some of us do or maybe the subtitling of the show misled you or something. I'll base my assumption on those. |

Death___13 said: It’s not for everyone 🤷🏼♂️ I think by 30 you either love it or just think it’s meh. I doubt your opinion will change much. Gintama is what it is. If your looking for a super serious show look elsewhere. I agree with people saying keep pushing to the Benzikura arc and if you still don’t like it then drop it and move on. I definitely wouldn’t call the show just “poop jokes and such” just because you don’t like it or it’s not your type of anime since it is so highly rated and a lot of people enjoy it including myself. Once it got to a certain point I think I said I liked it more then Naruto so it’s up to you my friend, but don’t berate it just because it isn’t your type of anime. Hope you can stick with it and find out why people enjoy it so much.Can someone explain me that why Gintama is one of the Top 10 anime on MAL ?

Because people like it.Read the reviews to know why they like it.Simple as that.If you don't find it funny then you haven't watched the anime Gintana makes a reference on and so you don't find it funny.You should've watched them first before watching Gintama. I don't understand why people won't find this clip funny at all |

I'm sorry but if I'm not mistaken, you are asking someone to justify why they like something you don't like.It's just preference. You don't like it, you don't like it. That's it. Doesn't mean you have a more refined taste than us (saying this because you seem to think that Gintama jokes are beneath you). Have fun with some other anime. Maybe, Gintama is not for you. |
