define filler then...i watched 43 episodes and about 20 were random nonsense,no plot what so ever
you can't say those jobs they do aren't fillers because they don't add anything to the story.

You could say that most Gintama episodes are fillers since they don't contribute to the story but a show doesn't need to have an overall story to be good. I am quite certain that many people would agree that Mushishi is an amazing anime. In the end all that matters is how enjoyable the show actually is. If you don't like Gintama your problem isn't its lack of story, but the fact that its comedy doesn't suit your taste.

Settle down kiddies. You like what you like, and don't what you don't. A shows position on an arbitrary rating is meaningless. I personally enjoy GinTama and don't care whether it's on the top or the bottom. We're all entitled to our opinions. Right now it's likely my favorite anime.

Trying to force a person to like a show is just as pointless as trying to make a girl like you. The more you try to force it, the more it pushes the person away.

Then again it can't be avoided, this is the anonymous internet after all.

To me, filler is material which is not in the manga. When a person says there isn't much filler then likely that is what they mean. Using that definition GinTama only has around 26 episode. By your definition, the majority of the series is filler.

Sadly I believe GinTama is often misunderstood. From a distance it looks like a Shounen series along the lines of Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece. I see it as more of Simpsons or Family Guy type show with elements of shounen fight shows mixed in.

That's my two Canadian cents.

honestly i wouldnt know if they are fillers or not. Gintama isnt like most anime. its kinda reversed in the way that most episodes seem like fillers but occasionaly they bring out the serious arcs with actual plots. in other words you could almost call the arcs the fillers. and all the "fillers" Gintama's regular episodes. but i agree, in the end, all that matters is enjoyment. and fillers or not, they are some extremely enjoyable episodes.

Personally the only thing that really bothers be is an anime watched by so few as 6,000 people can take a number one spot. However that is the way it works. Some fanbases are just so pleased with their child.

Personally, I prefer plot driven anime and comedy is not my thing.

Ironically, this anime whose popularity ranking is in such debate has it's own arc which pokes fun at popularity rankings. Anyone who has watched it knows what happened to #1, lol.

i know what gintama is about and i'm not being a "fanboy",this anime is mostly random jokes

why can't something with a bit of plot have the 1st place?


what makes this anime so great are the multiple serious arcs that it has(not to mention it's great comedy), which infact have really good plots. maybe by the time you get caught up you will hopefully understand why this anime isnt overrated. but idk it could just not suit your tastes.



i placed some fair arguments i think...yeah it has multiple arcs obviously,since it has 200+ episodes,but from what i watched for every interesting arc(although it has it's random moments),there's 10 meaningless episodes.

i can name so many series that have besides great characters(which i'm gonna admit...Gintama has awesome characters) also a hell of a story...Death Note,LOTGH,Clannad AS,Baccano,Cowboy Bebop...only to name a few

Gintama has too much filler to be on top,and although it has multiple arcs,it deserves a decent score imo like 8.73..but not to have 2 series in the top 5.

end of rant :)


Through the 201 episodes Gintama had about only 17 filler episodes how come you're saying it has too much filler O__o??


are you sure we watched the same stuff? lol

A filler is something that isn't part of the manga that's what filler is O_o..

It's a freaking comedy the plot is connected through the serious arcs and that's it the rest is just pure comedy which made the fans fall in love with the show -__-..

Honestly, this kind of argument is pointless.
There are people that like Gintama, there are people that don't like Gintama.
Personally, I love Gintama and I couldn't care less if it was first or not. And I find it completely stupid to compare Gintama to Mushishi since they are a totally different genre. You can't compare comedy with drama, nor a shounen with a shoujo, for instance.
Though, it's sad that there are people whose lives are actually affected by an anime being in first place or not.
At any rate, Minsc already said everything, I hope a moderator locks this thread for good, no use beating around the bush.

it's just ratings. you can't tell people what to love or hate. anyone can rate any way they want. It's just a number...no big deal. As for me I love Gintama. I won't watch S2 it till it reaches 100+ eps. But hey its awesome so what can you do? Thats why it deserves to be on top of the page.

If it were to reach to 100+ episodes, it would take about 2 years. So you shouldn't wait that long. XD LOL

lol yea that would take a while. but imo the patience would pay off in the long run. i want to marathon the hell out of this series but its just so hard for me to not watch the weekly eps because of how good they are. luckily i discovered Gintama after the first 201 eps were completed so it was pretty sweet not having to wait in between eps for atleast for part 1 of this series.

I wasn't comparing Gintama to Mushishi, I was just stating the fact that anime's episodic nature and overall lack of plot shouldn't mean it doesn't deserve a high place on the top list.

I wasn't talking about your comparison, but the other general troll's comparison. I can't even find it in this cluster of trolling. At any rate, it was someone saying that Mushishi was way better than Gintama.
Since they are of different genres, I think that it's hard to tell which is better without counting people's enjoyment factor on this.
Though yeah, they are mainly episodic. So is Mononoke, there isn't exactly a plot in that and people still think it's a great anime. And even Gintama has more plot than that XD

I finished the first 201 episodes and hesitantly rated it a 9, thinking "oh gosh, I feel like I almost want to rate it 10... but... oh, if only there was a 9.5..."

Then I watched the first new episode.
"oh, if only there was an 11... or >9000"
