Haha, Gin and his hard head.

it was OK. One or two really funny scenes though
"...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth')

Ah, I forgot how funny a character Gintoki is. Best scene was the part with the cop. "If you crash it'll really hurt"..lol.

Well, there are some, but those are short and far in between, so you can't watch Gintama with that in mind. It is mainly a comedy series to the point of being a parody of itself, with some drama and very little action. I can tell you though, if you keep watching it, it will be hard to let it go.

So-so episode. I can't help but compare Gintama to Sket Dance(even if Sket comes after it chronologically). The seriousness in Sket Dance is better than it is in Gintama, at least to now. Well, we'll see for the next episodes, but I really don't feel like Gintama can pull out something serious well enough.

Ah, I remember this from the beginning of the manga. Guess episodes 1-2 were a special like they said. Osae's voice sounds exactly how I imagined it :P Man, Gintoki sure says some pretty good lines sometimes huh?
Looks like we'll be meeting Kagura next time. Her voice is a bit more ... annoying than I imagined it to be? Lol :P Oh god I just realized that she's the person that did Taiga and Aria and those annoying voices ... no wonder D; Shame she's voicing Kagura T_T

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. 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.
Ok so i finally found the discussion thread i was looking for, so there is a difference between Gintama and Gintama' with a apostrophe.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Getting hooked. I absolutely like how this show is always on verge of breaking 4th wall while delivering its insane comedy, impossible action and also touching moments. It's still far from being a masterpiece but this has potential to be mine regular relaxing show.
