It's ruling on MAL because it's mediocre just like the entirety of the top 10.

I thought I was the only one who thought like that. I've watched 55 episodes, and it's really boring. I didn't enjoy watching it. The reason I keep watching it is just because I want to watch it all the way to the serious arc.

Same skip every comedy episode and watch only serious arcs

no way youre watching gintama just for its serious arc I suggest you to please drop it , its not for you and its isnt a battle shounen the serious arc gonna felt like they have no build into them and you'll gonna hate gintama and call it overrated for no reason

Of course it gets better. It's a series known for having a slower start

Lol, I didn't know I needed this.
I advice you to not skip any of the comedic episode as they're the essence of gintama and if you ain't enjoying them gintama isnt for you and the serious arc gonna felt like they have no build up to them I suggest you to watch a battle shounen if youre looking for action cause gintama isnt a generic battle shounen

I mean I think people like the dumb comedy but I'm pretty sure everyone knows it delivers big on action and fight scenes. Anyone who didn't like it left their rating on season 1 and never watched again.

well it depends, it took me around 10 episodes to get fully invested into gintama. i found gintama during a time where it’s lessons really helped me get through things. there are deeper meaning to the show than what’s on the surface level, it’s one of the reasons i love it so much.

I also found it pretty boring at first and the jokes were not the best either (with some exception) but it gets better and better (both story and comedy-wise). I started getting invested around 50-smth eps and the first serious arc is not the best but it is pretty good. The humor is still not for everyone probably but it isn't just poop jokes and nose picking and stuff like that. Btw maybe you could watch some of the funniest comedy arcs to see if you like the humor. Do not watch only the serious arcs bc I don't think they would be enjoyable that way. You need to know the background stuff and care about the characters to truly enjoy them. Besides in my opinion Gintama truly shines in comedy still though it has some really good emotional and some really intense moments too.

Well if u think that u should complete all Gintama series you'll understand why it is on top 10 tho if u find it boring I guess it's coz it's hard to understand if you've watched less anime even I also thought that first when I started that except jokes it's simple but that's not case but not only me anyone who've watched Gintama would understand coz no one is stupid enough to say it's goated if it's trash,but in the end all that matters is that u enjoy.

Gintama is just amazing in my opinion. I think early Gintama is also some of the best Gintama throughout the series. I suggest you carry on because there are some 10/10 arcs that await

It gets better but there are always some bad episodes because gintama tries to get some time to open the gap between the anime and the manga and because of that, gintama has some of the best and funniest episodes of all time but also some of the worst and most boring episodes of all time. I think it's worth it because the comedy is good.

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......

Can't judge a 400 episodes series by it's first 30. IK you probably have heard this lots of times, but Gintama gets good on some point. From episode 55~ onwards (benizakura arc) it becomes better, and each serious arc starting from there is better than the previous

Gintama was born as a comedy series which then acquired a strong action component. The action gradually increases in the series, without ever blurring the comedy. In Gintama there are no long arcs except at the end, but small arcs prevail (from 4 to 8 episodes, but also only 2 or 3). Each one reveals a piece of the protagonist's story. Among these arcs there are several single comic episodes.
It took me two years to finish it and I loved it, from the most vulgar jokes to the saddest moments. It is a long anime that you can alternate with other shorter ones and watch it calmly (you don't have to watch yourself 24 episodes to finish the arc). It requires patience and offers a lot of memorable moments, but if you really don't like its gags then forget it, because they are essential to bond with the characters.

I understand you but it really is a good anime. When I started watching Gintama I already knew I was going to like it but you have to be patient to watch it. Gintama has over 300 episodes and as they go on, it gets better and better. I have to admit that the first few episodes are not the best but Gintama is the best anime without a doubt.

I didn't find single anime funny, Japanese humor is not really for me.

Yes Comedy is subjective but if i can judge everything else Drawing Quality, Voice Acting, Drama or other genres exist in Gintama then i can easily say Gintama is overrated.

Most people who start Gintama drops it in first 20 episodes anyway, you can check the statistics. Only reason Gintama and new seasons has this high score because people drops it.

art as a whole is subjective I don't know what youre talking about I can judge it or that kind of bullshit cause its your opinion ain't objective gintama has the best cast of character cause of how relatable they are and the mc is one the best of all time if you didn't like the series doesn't mean its overrated or any kind of that sort ive checker the stats and people those who drops it pick it back again cause how great and unique gintama is youre looking like youre frustrated at the moment cause people love gintama and you have it

bruh its super simple. You just dont like it. And just because you dont like it doesnt mean its bad. Its humor is based on 80% japanese wordplay and it is one the most popular franchises within japan along with Gundam and One Piece.

[font="\"Noto Sans\", Arial, sans-serif"]Agreed. I don't know how an anime that has to point out it's own jokes can be considered even remotely funny. Many of the 'humor' is also very Japan specific so most ppl won't understand. And the anime has literally no plot.[/font]

You’re an idiot. Go watch the whole series you’ll know. You’re calling it boring? Just tell how many parody anime are successful? Also do you think it’s easy to spoof every anime? You don’t really get the jokes ig. You have bad sense of humour. There are viewers for it. We all got diff taste and Gintama deserves more tbh . One more thing , when the anime gets serious , it comparable to big3 and usually even better than them. It’s genre is  adventure, comedy , gore, horror, vampire, psychological,alien, historical,samurai, action, slice of life, parody, shounen, shojo, drama, fantasy , romance, supernatural, cross dressing, martial arts, crime , police, music ,school, space , time travel , f I can’t remember any more genres.

@Richard_drizzle Bruh, its funny. No matter, how bad my mood is, i just start watching some random ep of gintama. It literally has everything there is. I get it, most people dont like gag humor, etc, so they might not watch it, but its definately worth a shot. It aint just a comedy show tho. It has serious arc that got me hooked to it. There are life lessons and philosphical stuff too. Gintoki is an inspirational charecter, and yeah he's relatable too. Tis all seems meaningless or crap, until you've seen it for yourself. Its the kind of show, i'd lose my memories for, to rewatch it.

@FinsengEsog yea i really wanted to like gintama there definitely where some episodes that had me emotional, but the ratio is so off idk how the seasons are handled is the original 200 episodes just one season or many lol it always bothered me that you get like 3-5 episodes of some serious interesting shit then 20 episodes of unfunny nonsense following it.
