| Debating whether to start on One Piece or Gintama for the summer. But a lot of people have told me that OP is much better, but Gintama is #1, sooooo...? What do you guys think? ;) |
 |
| I picked up Gintama a few days ago and it's the best show i have watched for years. Definetely "better" than One Piece, in my book anyways. It's a rollercoaster of crazy laughter and serious tears. It doesn't take itself seriously. My advice, if you want to decide whether to watch Gintama or not based on one episode, watch the first episode of season 5. As for One Piece, i dropped it (around 300 i think) eventually due to senseless Power-Up and i didn't like the style direction and all it was going towards. |

| Oh come on what the fuck, Why make this seriously? |

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 |
| This is the most retarded fucking thread, its like asking "Is a episodic comedy anime better than a non episodic Adventure/action/comedy?" they both don't even relate at all, one is set in Edo age kinda sorta with aliens, and one is set in a world full of pirates. They both barely have anything to do with each other, the anwsers will just be what people enjoyed more so my anwser is One Piece. |
 |
| I think both are good for comedy but Gintama is better. Its randomness is awesome. |

| Gintama is for randomness action/arc and one of the things i adore about it though, is there's always a message at the end of an arc/episode. Onepiece for more serious plot/action and honestly i just read the manga. I'm sure both are hillarious shounen anime.

| There is no better one.. It's all about opinions. Anyways I love them both equally and they are both great in their own ways. |

|
| ive watched almost 500 eps of One Piece, its still good but Gintama is on another level. IMO |
 |
| Apples and oranges, you can't really compare the two. Just like the guy above said, if you plan to watch both, definitely watch One Piece first, Gintama has quite a few references to One Piece which are hilarious... if you've seen One Piece. Othwerwise you probably won't be rolling on the floor laughing your ass off as much as you could have. calvinklein said: Lolz.. Lol, you're forgetting one:  Man I loved that episode. It was one of the earlier ones that was actually good. |

| Maybe you should actually watch Gintama first, Gintama has a lot of references every episode to other anime, japanese celebrities, japanes stories and culture. It sounds kind of weird to watch a 550 + series just to get like 6 jokes. And you cannot compare since they are different genres, Gintama is a comedy with some good action arcs every 20 or 30 episodes, and One Piece is an action, adventure, fantasy anime with some comedy. It would be easier to ask whether you want to watch a laid back comedy mostly episodic anime with good action when it does have it, or go on a thrilling adventure in a fantasy world which has a good blend of comedy. |

| ^What this guy said. In any case, why not watch them both? Granted, I'm starting One Piece but have seen a lot of Gintama. Gintama is not an anime you need to marathon to fully enjoy (I actually find spacing the episodes I watch out to keep it fresh and hilarious). I also get the sense One Piece is an anime you can put on and off and not miss much as long as you still enjoy it when you come back to it without feeling lost. |
| well...they're my favs so i dont really know wich is the best. but like they said above, start with one piece and then watch gintama to laugh alot with his epic parodies |
| Aw man, I'm late. But for all those idiots who complain and ask why I made this, why post your useless comments in the first place? Way to be hypocrites, dumb***es! And for that poster who said I'll only get one answer 'cause I posted on the Gintama boards, I guess you're wrong. :) So next time if you come across another similar thread, don't waste yours or the thread-maker's time. :) kthnxbai And for those that actually cut the BS and gave an opinion, thanks! I decided to start on OP, and I'll move to Gintama when I get bored. :) |

Gintama's mangaka (Sorachi) adds a lot of references, and knowing them adds to more laughter and enjoyment. |

Someguy832 said: IntroverTurtle said: It sounds kind of weird to watch a 550 + series just to get like 6 jokes. I never said he had to watch ALL episodes of One Piece you know. He should watch One Piece first, and then after a few dozens of episodes watch Gintama simultaneity. If you're planning to watch both then might as well. Btw, I really don't suggest droping One Piece once you get bored, as it gets much better later on. Same goes for Gintama. Yeah but the way you said it, you kinda did Someguy832 said: Apples and oranges, you can't really compare the two.

I didn't see anything about watching them simultaneously, And maybe he doesn't want to watch two long series at once, Gintama has thousands of jokes in the anime, and only 5 are one piece jokes. He doesn't only have to watch gintama once i still enjoy it and find new references and ive rewatched it like 3 times. |

| They are both good, but if you really want to get entertain in every single episode, I think Gintama would be a right choice. In all honesty, I like One Piece better than Gintama. One Piece has a unique setting, and without a doubt, one of the best Shounen of all time. Usually of course, most long running series, the first 100 episodes are usually not that "epic" as what people think, but as you keep watching and watching, it goes better and better. The latest (manga latest) is right now, damn epic, that every chapter I want to know the next. Most characters in One Piece are likeable and cant hate. As for Gintama, I recommend it also, but watch One Piece first since Gintama has full of parodies about One Piece. If you think 500+ episodes is too long, try reading the Manga, in my opinion, the manga has a more epic feeling than in the anime. |

| If you're talking about comedy, than Gintama is totally on whole another level. No anime can beat them in term of comedy. But if you're talking about action and adventure, Gintama kinda even with One Piece. |
| Gintama is like Hollywood, trying to entertain people every episode. Also in time about 100+ episodes the characters are just playing the rolls for a type of scene, and they just pop up in the background and doing things "out of character. But it's still watchable and entertaining, you will have a good laugh by watching Gintama. It's not about the samurai or the condition of Japan in modern Edo period occupied by the Amanto, it's all a setting for the stories to unfold. And after 150+ eps it's not about odd jobs anymore, I can't remember a job at yorozuya after 150+ eps. And for One Piece, it's about pirates and a man who wants to be the pirate king, it's a serious show different than Gintama (I'm not saying it's better or worse), it has a setting (some kind of medieval world), a story, a plot and a final goal. Yes it has comedy but in a way that people who watch this kind of show would understand. I hope I made myself clear. In my AnimeList: Gintama - 8, One Piece - 10. And I watched 240+ episodes of Gintama and 350+ episodes of One Piece (I know what I'm talking about). |

And that you asked it on the Gintama board so you are more likely to get a for gintama answer. And some people get angry a lot on this site and say people should get banned just for having a different opinion than them, just ignore him.

| Gintama, One Piece start falling after a while. Gintama has nearly non-stop greatness episode to episode. If you're not watching any other anime(If you're just watching airing ones) you could start both of them. |

| I registered just to say the following op i have been watching one piece for almost 2 years now and i picked up gintama about 3 month ago i was recently watching the newest episode of one piece and i could barely get through it , just as everyone said if you want an episodic comedy then watch Gintama if you want an action/fantasy/adventure anime then watch one piece but in my opinion gintama was more enjoyable |
| Both shows are amazing. I have seen the first 50+ episodes of one piece and put it on hiatus because of life/school/etc. OP is so addicting that I dare you to catch up with the weekly episodes because I have friends who bite their nails off waiting for it every week to come out! Like everyone is saying, Gintama and One Piece are two completely different kind of shows even though they are both action/shounen/comedy genre anime. They don't compare. Gintama is more of a parody. But it is still a super shounen show because of the action and adventure it comes with in number of arcs from time to time. I saw 199 episodes of Gintama and 51 episodes of Gintama' and willing to watch another 205 episodes to say I am ready for another 245 episodes and would probably still ask for more. Gintama is not just good, it is that good. This is coming from someone who has been watching anime for more than 17 years now and seen 500+ shows. You may be surprised, I initially started watching Gintama out of curiosity and kind of anguish wanting to know why it leapfrogged Clannad AS in MAL ranking back then, yes, a Clannatard here, who thought the ranking was a 1st of April prank. I hated myself to the point I was pushing myself to enjoy it. And then, before I knew it, I laughed to the point my stomach ached, I cried to the point I could taste my teardrops. I fell in love with it. You watch episode 40-42 (Umibozu arc) and come back if you haven't fallen in love with this anime. Unfortunately for you, you won't be coming back, because by that time, you would be under the spell of Sorachi Hideaki, more of a magician than a mangaka. |

I was super thankful I was a One Piece fan when I saw that episode as I was able to roar the loudest laughs I will ever roar in my life. Watch 500 episodes of one anime to make 1 episode of another anime extra funny? |

Watch 500 episodes of one anime to make 1 episode of another anime extra funny? lol If you put it that way it sounds like a bad idea huh. :P It's all good though, since One Piece is great. Even without Gintama making hilarious references I'd still recommend watching One Piece. It is good to have a bit of OP knowledge before watching Gintama because they make plenty of references to OP that are obviously a lot funnier if you understand them. |

| It is good to have a bit of knowledge about a lot of anime before watching Gintama, and I agree it's funnier when you get the references. But Gintama is still incredibly hilarious, even when there are some jokes that you don't get. I'm certainly not being objective here, because Gintama is my second favourite anime of all time, but I think you'd have more fun watching Gintama than OP. OP is great, but (that's my very own opinion, people, I'm not saying it's the universal truth) I think it's far better as a manga than as an anime. (I actually dropped the OP anime...) Gintama on the other hand, is one of the best anime adaptation I've seen. The seiyuu (especially sugita, of course<3) are doing an amazing job, and the anime is 5 times funnier than the manga, which was already the funniest manga I've ever read... Of course it's like all anime, you have to get hooked first. Maybe you'll never find it that great and you'll wonder why some people get so excited about it... BUT if you get hooked, oh boy! You'll never get rid of that addiction ever again. :D So yeah, to get back on subject, Gintama>OP imo, but OP is great too, you should watch/read both anyway. ^^ |

Fuzzx said: It is good to have a bit of OP knowledge before watching Gintama because they make plenty of references to OP that are obviously a lot funnier if you understand them. I know that, all I am saying is Gintama references a lot of stuff, One Piece, Bleach, DBZ, doreamon, jojo, hunter x hunter, a whole lot more old anime, a whole bunch of japanese celebrities, and old tv shows, japanese folklore. Thats atleast 1,500 anime episodes and a whole bunch of japanese tv and books about folklore or fairytales. So rather than watching a whole year worth of stuff to get the full meaing of the thousands of Gintama jokes, you can just rewatch when your knowledge of japan and anime is a little higher. Actually learning some basic japanese to understand all the puns might be a better way to spend your time. |

G-5 said: One Piece is the best Shonen/Manga/Anime of all time. To make it more precise, one of the best.. By the way, it depend on your personal preferences. Personally, both are good but personally i like Gintama as it's more relaxing while One Piece has all the suspense and action you needed in an anime. |
