It's a great comedy that I can see why it has such a wide appeal and it's a great shonen when it's in it's serious arcs. There's a lot more to grip you than the typical shonen. The main characters' past for one is not just thrown out just like that like in most shonen. It's only getting hinted at and we're getting shown some really vague scenes over the course of the story, and you want to know more of course so each of those keeps you interested in the characters, alongside their quirkiness and absurdity that they have and how mature they can be when it actually counts. Given the series length it would take time to explain why people like Gintama so much and it's not something I am up for atm. But it's not without a reason. I am not one of the people inflating it with 10s but I do think it's great and still deserves a solid 8 or 9. But in short, Gintama fans give it 10s because they think it deserves a 10, to them, they're not over inflating anything. confused; you suggest here "am not one of the people inflating it with 10s" that people inflate but then deny it with "Gintama fans give it 10s because they think it deserves a 10, to them, they're not over inflating anything" what was the takeaway supposed to be? I didn't explain myself properly, sorry. It's really late in my timezone so I space out a lot, I forgot to mention - over-inflate with 10s by using multiple accounts to rank it high. But thinking about it, there are multiple people using alt accounts to bring it's rating lower, I guess it balances out. Gintama's real rating is pretty much the original 2006 anime's rating. The rest is due to the sequel effect, it was explained above by a user pretty well. Basically as the series get more and more seasons, those that didn't stick around and rated it lower get less and less as they won't even bother with newer seasons, leaving only hardcore fans, leading to only positive ratings. |

However, it is on the edge of a shitstorm, so I wouldn't be surprised if this thread gets locked soon XDI'm not even going to weigh in on this topic because I couldn't get through 5 episodes so I don't understand the appeal. BUT Just wanted to point out I think this thread broke the record for most comments in the shortest amount of time. Its been a day and there's almost 300 comments. Shits wack. |
spacebishijesus said: so you're saying people are bad when they disagree with you or dislike something you like? what a snowflake lmao You're not very bright. He obviously meant the people giving everything in the series a 1 and shitting on the fanbase for liking the show. Kinda like what you and many others have already done in this thread. |

kisb said: Energetic-Nova said: I don't know why we can't have a listing of top anime with the best scoring in the franchise being the representative in the top anime. It would just be nice to see the list be a little more diverse... just curious.. what things would you consider when measuring to determine top anime I said, one from the highest rated part of the franchise to represent. No repeating anime. That way you can see something more diverse. Obviously there should also be the free for all top anime version too. But I just want one of the lists to remove all but one representative of the franchise. Don't care if Gintama is #1. I care about just being able to see more than a couple franchises listed over and over. There could be that or just use the first one in the franchise as the representitive. But heck, don't care if it is the sequel, I just want to see a list of top anime with no repeats. There should also be a toggle for movies to remove movies connected to a series that way you can see only movies not connected to other anime. |

spacebishijesus said: kisb said: sorry meant like the formula for MAL itself to use for scoring top anime because people keep saying its not representative and i dont understand that I completely agree it's not representative too. Angel beats is really high up there and NO ONE talks about it anymore. just because it was popular then doesn't mean it is now (same can be argued for gintama) and therefore the lists are so unrepresentative it's not funny But that would be popularity for time periods and therefore people would miss out on shows like cowboy bebop or NGE (both of which i havent watched) as it is now it represents popularity for all time, total number of people who have seen it or plan to watch it Its about society. people have watched angel beats its just how it is anyway, the scores are fine. MAL is awesome. nice day humans |

Yugioh for instance would only have Duel Monsters series for instance even though it's cast changes. |

| Thread Locked Controversial topic that's been discussed before as a broader topic. The Gintama board has many threads already made asking why users have enjoyed it and the works that this thread was already asking. Gintama's first season scored 9.02. And due to how MAL does its ratings, seasons continue to be separated one after another. No one would be complaining if they were put together, as the scores would be evened out. Seeing as how most people who continue to watch Gintama each season are people who enjoyed the series enough to keep on following, and generally, these people will score 7-10. People who had dropped the show and otherwise rated it below probably won't. Though people who do rate it below will most likely still watch the next seasons if they're someone like me who still watches another season despite it being shit (Talking in a broader aspect here). But there's no real difference here compared to the people who drop every season and or otherwise do 24/51, 5/11 seen, etc. for each season and have it as dropped with a 1/10 or any score for that matter. Dropping one season shouldn't gauge you for dropping another season. People who do this are just as bad or even worse than the actual fanbase that you say "inflate the scores," which I addressed. Gintama is no different from inflated scores than it is to FMA: Brotherhood, Clannad: Afterstory, etc. where people will rate it 10/10 solely to get it above their favorite show as proven by the amount of alt accounts people make with their time. Only reason Gintama's score is so inflated is due to fans continuing to like the show and rating it a high score. Add onto the member count compared to previous seasons and to other shows out there, it's obvious why it's high up. In final, considering the state of this topic: User(s) bashing each other all over the topic as well the the OP topic discussion specifically targeting Gintama, where Anime discussion is supposed to be a broad topic not pertaining to one series at hand, this thread will be locked. Breaking the Site Rules will warrant you a warning/ban. Please read this before posting on the forums. |
